I think that intelligence had a cause and that cause cannot be found in theory that defines the universe as being the product of mechanical type forces. I think science can be and should be the way to learn about the operation of the universe. However, more to your point, I do think science makes claims, in its theoretical analysis, that it cannot back up. I think there are many assumptions included in physics theory right from the start. A few years ago, I attempted to begin to show this in a message I wrote concerning the theoretical interpretation of f=ma. I see clear problems there and additional problems as theory is expanded. The subject of this thread is: Is science close minded? In the field of theoretical physics, I think that at times and in some important areas it may be challenged as being close minded. I think, with regard to science, close mindedness is a temporary condition. I do think in the end truth wins out. However, close mindedness can cause us to take a much longer time to learn the truth. Do you think that time dilation is a fact?
