It may be a problem of definition of the bold words, but I'll add
more bold words:  NO science "explains."  Science ONLY
describes.  Theology explains.  The quarreling here about
Newton is supercilious.

By the way, will someone define "epistemology" as it's being
used here?

And in the midst of a recession with dubious outcome, whatever
became of ECONOMICS  here on pkt?
