Do you know something that philosophers of science don't know?
Cordially,
My point is that Bacon believed in limiting the science to essentially experiments that could be done in a lab. He didn't take into consideration that the scientific method does extend beyond the lab and beyond to the immediately observable. Historical sciences are just as valid. They make testable predictions. Astronomy, cosmology, geology and paleontology all fit this description.
Also, my original point to Blessed was that to teach ID as science means you have to harmfully warp the meaning of science. Blessed called that fiction. But science will have to change to incorporate the supernatural for ID to fit. Or Science will have to change so any hand-waving arguement or idea can have the same footing as those developed from observation. That affects all branches of science.
