(Is it science area)
Empirical evidence, and testibility, and observation I like. These deal with things in the present, and several thousand years in the past. Of course it also only deals in the natural, as science does. The assumption is that the past and the future also will be physical only as this present is. They say the present is the key to the past.
I propose that this assumption is not science. We do not know. If I believe that the bible indicated a past and future that included the spiritual, altering the state of matter, and fabric of the universe, I claim science has nothing to say about it. This is of course true.
Therefore it is NOT science to make claims about the future or far past using an assumption it was physical only, unless that could be solidly supported!
It cannot. I challenge anyone to do so.
