Re: Toward an Intelligent Design Science
I disagree with your idea, James. While scientists do not know the underlying cause for the laws of physics, the laws of physics still apply. Use a computer program as a metaphor.
Assume I create a program that sorts five user entered words alphabetically. This program will become our metaphorical universe. Now, a scientist studies this program (our universe) and discovers that 'calm' always comes before 'storm', and that 'darkest' always comes before 'dawn', and so on, and he is able to discover that the laws of this universe determine in which order the words should be formed, 'a' before 'b', and so on. Eventually, he is able to predict what words will be in what order. He does not know why the words form alphabetically, but they do, and that is what he is interested in.
This is what science is like, we are discovering the rules, and we are not interested so much in the reason for the rules.
