This is why I prefer the ethos of science. It also emphasises doubt and limitations and fallibility but is optimistic & productive. It doesn't wallow smugly & obscurely in the gaps of knowledge & flaws of perception but seeks to reduce them & clarify as much as it can.https://twitter.com/existentialcoms/status/929439428929503232 …

Brilliant and important however he posits a straw man when he says,"it has been said ..." leaving it to seem that philosophy/religion routinely makes that claim.

I don't think 'It has been said' indicates 'It is routinely said.'

What about historical, legal/evidentiary & behavioral data. The Gospel I believe is informed by these & hard science

Yes, that is what I meant by applying scientific methods more widely than the subject of the natural sciences. The gospel is weak on this tho.
