Q & A

Q: Why is the scientific method not a comprehensive method of deciding validity/truth?

A:

it starts from the assumption that information about reality is valid only if its empirically verifiable (with measurable (according to the capacity of our instruments) physical effects) and repeatable (relatively constant/stable). These are 100% valid assumptions for certain purposes (like most of the purposes science is used for) but they are assumptions based on a very limited definition of the word “real” — a definition heavily informed by biological necessity and we equate the explanatory power of science within a certain domain (the one we live most of our conventional lives immersed in) with its inherent truth… which is again another assumption.
