Speaking of not understanding - donh, how do you reconcile these two statement you just made in #699:

donh(699): Science does not make a base assumption that there can only be material explanations.

donh(699): Science merely makes a base assumption that material explanations are science's only realm of competence.

Perhaps if you stopped foaming at the mouth, and cut down your freighted verbiage count substantially, your brain could relax enough to examine what is in front of your eyes. I do not need to reconcile these statements because they are not in conflict. I'll not be answering the rest of your post because I don't understand it, and your demeanor is too abrasive to motivate me to try to untangle this vague philosophical ramble.

Perhaps if you dispensed with the ad hominem attacks you would see clear enough to notice you just said you "voted for the budget before you voted against it" - figuratively speaking

I do not need to reconcile these statements because they are not in conflict.

As Cleopatra once said "Denial runs deep"

You stated science does not make base assumptions there can only be material explanations - then you said science makes base assumption there can only be material explanations because that is science's realm of competence. Two completely contradictory statements.

I'll not be answering the rest of your post because I don't understand it,

I see, time to dive for the tall grass.
