What is science?
What makes you think that Metaphysics or Philosophy are 'Science'?

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Re: What is science?
What knowledge do we have of any aspects that are beyond our science?
Since when has Philosophy been hand in hand with science?
What makes you think there is any reason to consider metaphysics as anything other than mental masturbation or that it is valid for anything other than a good laugh?
What makes you think that all we have is speculation related to the Big Bang?

Re: What is science?
None.So we have obtained all the aspects of science?
I'm sorry but that is just word salad. It may simply be a language issue. Is English a second or third language and are you using something like Google Translate?
That makes no sense as a sentence.
Because you and all scientist who seem to think they are authroties in the know all and be all of creation and how it became.When any real scientist knows the work is never really done because there is more to learn.You can call the step beyond what we know today anything you want,I call it metaphysics,but you know and I know there is more than what we have.
Of course folk know there is more to learn, but metaphysics is NOT a method to learn anything. Science puts what it doesn't know in a folder labeled "I don't know the answer to that yet".
But the Big Bang or evolution or even abiogenesis don't need to go in that folder. They go in a folder labeled "There is still a FEW things we don't understand about this yet".

Re: What is science?
What argument?
When it comes to the fact that evolution happened and that the Theory of Evolution is the ONLY model that explains what is seen, that the Universe is at least 14 Billion Years old and the Earth is at least 4.5 Billion years old there simply is no argument.
