I dont have the intellectual capacity or the time to vet every bit of scientific observation. I accept that the scientific method is sound and that the scientific community does its due diligence. Isnt this faith?
No, for everything you
did check, it turned out to be correct, therefore, it is safe to assume that something that is reported from science is
tentatively (This is important) true.
I understand that we dont have all of the answers yet but are we not on the road to omniscience?
Hardly, for the very simple fact that we'll never know if we know everything. That is not to say that we know a great deal already though, and that at some point, we will reach a point of knowledge that we really have no need to learn more, but that doesn;t mean we know everything.
Isnt there?
Nope.
If I could prove that there was a quantity but that it was unknowable isnt this injurious to the scientific method?
I'm sorry you lost me there. Also, if something is unkowable
now doesn't mean it will be unknowable for ever.
