But we don't live in the physical world. We live in a cognitive world that has a physical component. Science helps us cognate the world more accurately, but so does our subjective personal experience of it. And so do our philosophical musings of it. And so does our creative re-imagining of it.I'm not prepared to do that. Science is paramount in explaining how the physical world works.
Science doesn't inform us in a whole range of cognitive ways. That's why these other methods are so important to us. It's not just science or religion.That said, it does not speak to religious or spiritual experiences. Science holds no position on nor does it have any interest in one's personal spiritual experiences.
But the only evidence it can provide is physical. And that's not nearly enough. We need experiential, and philosophical, and creative evidence as well.If science provides evidence that my understanding of existence is incorrect, I adjust my understanding in accordance with science.
