Just for a bit of a check on what you consider objective
science v your chosen view, do you believe in Noah's ark
and believe ToE is false?
Objective Science is objective science.
Putting the reservations with any postulated conclusion.
Not letting one test override overwhelming other evidence . Think shroud.
if I get a different answer to my peers, I look to see what I got wrong, not what they got wrong ( carbon daters please note) They were told by meacham the date was indicative not definitive, he said it before the test date!
There’s no such thing as a single ToE.
The rest is in all sorts of states from pure speculation, conjecture, hypotheses to theories.
Common descent, genetic theories, Micro evolution, pure conjectures about jumps. ( all that is 0.1 percent of the problem)
On the 99.9% How did a first minimum cell come to exist? It is massively complex. It’s why I highlight “ self designing factory of 10000+++ proteins.” Getting from there to a reptile is easier than getting to it from soup.
All there is is speculation.
Was it unguided? I don’t think so.
Not least experience of math modelling of optimisation shows the concept is untenable.
Do I believe the scientific model explains what things normally do? Yes, but only because a model is a net sum of experience of stuff that repeats.
Do I believe it explains what Is at a fundamental level? No. It’s a model based on projections into our sensor space. Analogy. From a 2d video can you determine the physics of a 3 d world? No. Only derivatives of it, Or is the universe a bat trapped in a cave would model the same as ours. No. Partly because you are limited to light. / sound. Partly because of an infinite potential number of invisible dimensions.
Can things happen not explainable by the model, and that never can be because they violate the foundation of it. Yes. They undoubtedly do. Lots of examples.
Science is useful, it’s not a complete answer.
The big one. Do I believe consciousness is a chemical process permanently trapped in the brain? No. And there’s plenty of evidence for that. Which case the ToE is at best only a bit part in the real question of life.
enough?
and you?
