Starting Thoughts
The only thing that bothers me with these approaches to science is that there is a great lack of certainty. There may be no absolute truth, but some things have high certainty (i.e. pure silver should always sink in water). I think that sometimes, though it may be rare, there is such a thing as a ‘certain observation.’ There are a few observations that will always stay the same. I think that certainty is mostly important for the human psyche. If everything is uncertain, than the world becomes too foreign and unpredictable. People create these stories in the first place so that they can develop some sort of certainty and security. If that is lost, than humans start to feel uncomfortable and insecure, which causes them to question their role and purpose. Nevertheless it is really important to recognize that, in fact, almost nothing is certain or can be fully explained-we can only do our best to understand and come to terms with it. It is that very fact that I find the most exciting.
