Thank you so much for your reply!

Truly, some of these topics can range from A to Z, e.g. complexity. And worse, the correspondents are often speaking different math theories, so there is a tendency to get derailed.

That wasn't my intent, and I've tried to avoid it but it can be a challenge when the theories themselves present so many opportunities for discussion aside from the original question.

Since the thread is already over 600 posts, it would be helpful if you restated what you mean by "the original question."

My "original question" was, essentially, "If the methodology of the scientific method (methodoligal naturalism) is not acceptable, what exactly does it need to be changed to or replaced with to rectify that situation?"
