I’ve stated my thoughts clearly enough so that refutations could be done just as clearly and concisely – quote and counter – simple as that.

Can someone offer better simple definitions for “science” and the human practice of doing science?

The problem with defining science is that it’s not well defined. Definitions that I know include words like, “a loose collection of principles and methods”. It also is based on probabilities, something Holmes prefers to exploit rather than understand. He offers no method for comparing the truth of anything, rather just keeps pointing that the most important thing is that nothing is proven, nothing is certain. That’s a starting point, not an ending.

So, yes, you’ve been clear and it’s reasonable to make your case as best you can and remain open to refutations. I think I’ve linked this before, a good place to find points to discuss.

I’d even be willing to start here. Anything has to be better than this Merry-Go-Round we’ve been on.
