I'm not sure what you are getting at. Of course our claims about the
nature of physical objects and forces are legitimately based on our
observations (direct or through instruments) of physical objects and
events. But, I would also contend that those physical descriptions are
not complete in the ultimate sense. Science does not, and cannot,
capture the divine upholding of these events. I would argue from a
biblical perspective that there are NO purely physical phenomena.
