    then
    it is clear that the data for science must be determined by physical
    entities
    alone. The physical determines the physical, so to speak. Physical theories
    have nothing to do with people, although it is people that work them out.
    Otherwise, it would be subjective.

    Me: I am not sure what you mean by "physical theories", but biochemistry
    and physiology use plain old physics and chemistry to explain the phenomena
    they study.
