Based on and in line with already validated knowledge a logically consistent hypothesis is set up that can be experimentally tested. If the hypothesis can be confirmed by experiments then the concept of "hypothesis" is transformed into the concept of "theory". So there is no room for metaphysics.JackDaydream wrote: ↑October 24th, 2021, 8:11 am @ stevie

Maybe you don't think so, but on the other hand maybe you should think about it a little more.
Correct. In contrast to metaphysics science it about what can be publically observed, i.e. about what is accessible by the five senses independent of beliefs, i.e. about what is evident.
Please observe that when a users tries to conflate sience and metaphysics then that is in line with this forum. And when another user states that science and metaphysics are incompatible categories then that is in line with this forum, too.
Posting in a forum that also is dedicated to metaphysics does not depend on being a follower of metaphysics. And finally please observe that this forum isn't exclusively dedicated to metaphysics but also to epistemology.
