Re: Nwr: "Scientific theories have nothing to say about how nature behaves"
You cannot make scientific predictions (or conclusions pertaining to future events) without first inductively concluding that nature will continue to operate as it has been observed to behave thus far.
Yes because nature likes to chanfge its laws remember the time when gravity started to repel matter insted of atracting it damm that was a tough decade. Or the time when the Second law of thermodynamics "Heat cannot spontaneously flow from a colder location to a hotter location." got changed so bad it actualy had something to do whit evolution.
