Hey, I’m the resident UFO something or other hereon so if I say a UFO thread can have interesting sidebars, tough tacos to those who disagree! LOL.

My Dissertation chairman was a brilliant Mormon. He was happy with my using both a phenomenological and an empirical approach.

I certainly think both have a place.

KNOWING one’s spouse on honeymoon night

HAD BETTER BE after the Hebrews instead of after the Greeks if one wants the spouse to be around the 2nd night and one’s self to not be in jail for murder!

There’s a time for minute dissection and a time for holistic, immersed perspective.

And, then, there’s the whole silly notion that

there IS

such a thing as OBJECTIVE in the first place.

Even quantum physics seems to say no, there isn’t.

using both a phenomenological and an empirical approach

It doesn't fly in the natural sciences, yet that is how they operate. Most objective scientists will deny that is the scientific method and assert objectivity no matter what. If you ask who is making the assertion they will excuse themselvs and go back to their computers.
