As you know, Alex has asked others to avoid posting in his dialogue with Spyridon Kakos. This thread provides an alternative place for us to interact indirectly with his ongoing dialogue. I suggest that we react to that other thread, rather than discuss among ourselves. Let me start things off.
My reaction to skatos' first post was largely to agree with him, except that I don't think the problem with science can be characterised by saying it is exact - so I am puzzled why he singled out this feature. Perhaps he means that the world can't be a closed system - because somehow our spirits interact with it - and obviously calculations that ignore that interaction are not going to be exact. I certainly think he should expand on what he thinks is wrong with science.
