Hi Everybody.
The tounge-in-cheek title means this:
When the scientist says "Evolution seems to be true because....", he is practicing science. When he says "There is nothing but the material universe" he is "commiting" philosophy (an endeavor I am all for!). His reasons for the former come from within the realm of science. His reasons for the latter come from outside it. He cannot use science to show the truth or falsity of the second statement, anymore than a theist can use it to prove *his* position. What say you all?
