They are all facts that fit within the theory. The exact voltage for defibrillation, the exact dose of the right drug for the right person, the quantum theory; all are provisionally accepted pending further data.

Postmodernists think there is no objective reality ‘We all create our own reality’.

Science believes we can make a model that will predict and explain objective reality, but we do not confuse the model for reality itself, and we try not to get dogmatic about the model, after all a contrary explanation or a refinement of the theory could happen at any time. That is what we like to call “Scientific advancement”.

I see. You’re still waiting for more evidence to come in before you’ll accept the possibility of heavier than air human flight is proven.

And you are not the post modernist?

Good grief!
