  • Oh my, don’t let me waste your time.

    Indeed, I, personally, do not know the mechanisms by which the Big Bang, or whatever initiated the Universe, led to the existence of the “laws of nature”.  I repeat, I don’t say that science as a concept explains why we have science, or the “laws of nature” explain why we have “laws of nature”. (Do I have time to repeat myself.  I guess so.)

    But I can give general explanations about how we became aware of the existence of the laws of nature. And by understanding the laws of nature, and using science we can make all kinds of effective predictions, keep discovering new things, and continue to build upon our learning.

    What you seem to be doing is using the latin named logic truism as just another tactic for saying science cannot explain the ultimate beginning of the Universe, thus “God did it” is as good a possibility as any scientifically based hypothesis.  But that conveniently ignores the fact that compared to the hypothesis “God did it”, science has led to amazing new knowledge.  “God did it”  — hasn’t led to much new knowledge, afaik.
