Re: Dennett / Ruse Tiff Continues

<<Science does not ever say that something occurred only through
natural means. >>

When science offers an "explanation", what other meaning is there
besides "this is sufficient to explain phenomonon X"?

<<Any/all/none of those could be the way things are.>>

It could be, but there is no evidence to suggest it. Why believe it?

<<Ah, such moral and intellectual superiority. Oh well.>>

Hmmm...ad hominem. Substitute for no counter-argument or
counter-evidence?
