Re: proof
David Hull is a biologist as well as a philosopher, so he does qualify as someone within the scientific community.

And I agree with him. Scientists I've read do seem to feel that science is more empirical than it is, but Hull is talking as a philosopher and the definition of empirical isn't quite what it is to a scientist. Science adopts a very soft empiricism. We all adopt this empiricism out of necessity, but there are huge logical holes in it. Anyway, if he chooses to pursue it, gemster will regret this approach. For sheer head-ache generating power, there is nothing like radical empiricism. Quantum mechanics has nothing on it.
