I think that you do not understand Kevin's argument. Science can seldomly deal in absolutes. And certainly science can not deal with the unmeasurable.

Bertvan:
Precisely. However, most people are under the impression science has ruled
out everything but measurable, physical causes.
Are you sure about that ?

Bertvan:
Those scientists who are philosophical materialists will limit the areas
where they look for explanations. That's fine, so long as they don't try to
limit where scientists with other philosophical view points look.
Philisophy might affect where scientists look but should not affect how scientists look. If scientists are abusing science to look for something science cannot reveal then it is important to expose their errors.
