RE: [asa] C.S. Lewis on ID

Do you think the non-physical cannot impact the physical, Moorad? If not, and if you only trust to the physical evidence, then you're inevitably leaving out an important part (or parts) of 'all' the evidence. This is called the 'reflexivity' problem in human-social thought, which is also not entirely absent from ALL natural-physical sciences, since they are conducted by human beings. It's a graduation from your earlier-20th century physicistic 'observer' theory; we are (as embodied, historical persons) certainly part of/connected with what we observe, hear, feel, believe. And we all dream! - G.A.

I do not quite follow. What evidence did I leave out while I am doing physics
research successfully?

Because your methodology is intentionally NOT to consider "all" the
evidence.

However, when I do research in physics, I do not use any theological treatise to carry on my work. I suppose this is true when doing scientific work in any of the experimental sciences. Somehow, we have to be more specific and consider only the data that is truly relevant when doing unadulterated science.
