" Kauffman argues that our modern scientific paradigm -- reductionism -- breaks down once we try to explain biology and human culture. And this has left us flailing in a sea of meaninglessness. So how do we steer clear of this empty void?"
This is pure Catholic apologia. The argument is nonsense. There is no evidence of void or creation that has to be filled with intuitive supposition.
Determinism is an invention. Scientific inquiry is not based on hypotheses but on testing hypotheses without presumptions of reality.
Complexity is simply the inability to understand. It is not a premise for the existence of a reality beyond understanding.
When will scientists accept their responsibility to test the assumptions of belief itself as a physiologic process, rather than a source of knowledge based on 'feel right' epiphany?
