Re: Is what science is a philosophy about what science is?
Globally the divide seems to be: belief subject to science. vs science a subset of belief. The athiestic, materialistic view vs. the believers view.
Do you therefore hold that it is proper to believe something that is patently false? (Personally, I do not understand how one could do this. I suppose one could still claim to believe whatever it was.)
Re: Is what science is a philosophy about what science is?
One of the properties of science is that it should be universal; that is, equally available to everyone willing to make the necessary effort. Even during the Napoleonic wars, scientists travelled back and forth between England and France. Since the bible has authority only to the followers of certain religions, how can it be used in a discipline that should be universal? Whatever bible-based research may be doing, how can it be science when its data is data only to some people, not to others?
