Science shouldn't exist for its own sake, but it should exist as a servant for the sake of the government which best serves the people. As the United States is the best government and as our Founding Fathers established it on a natural law, then our nation should seperate itself from Europe and the rest of the world by developing its own metaphysical science. This shouldn't be done because of a conclusion of sophisticated truths, but because of the certain philosphical truths our Founders declared. This is rather paradoxical. As it isn't possible to know the absolute Truth as such an entity is the unapproachable Almighty Himself, one can narrow down to certain truths. But these truths are not a sophisticated this and / or that conclusion, but a certain philosopical conclusion which reduces bipartisanly beyond the mind to be interpreted by the collective soul, conscience or heart.
In helping seperate ourselves from all outside tyranny, we need to consider the epistemological conclusions made by Immanuel Kant, with him being the father of epistemology. Immanuel Kant claimed that each individual person is born hard wired, religiously speaking, so they view the outward noumenal (reality) in a unique phenomenal way. Therefore, based on our original hard wired view, we all interpret reality differently.
Socrates differed in his opinion of what is truely going on, however. He claimed every individual is born with a soul that once knew everything equally, but lost the information disproportionally depending on the amount of trauma it suffered during birth. So, Socrates never condescended to explain anything to a person's mind, but he thought of himself as a midwife philosopher serving their soul to help it "recollect" what it once knew.
I tend to side with Socrates on this matter.
While the claim is made that the mind can never truly perceive the truth of the noumenal world in how such a reality actually exists outside of our minds, we can comprehend that it is divided into two inward and outward realms. So, the reason our minds interpret the noumenal world differently is actually dependent on the degree they are burdened, distracted, and injured inwardly from perceiving the outward realm.
In other words, a cell in the womb of an animal is crushed and fetal. In order to begin its journey towards life, it has to be gently enticed. There is an anologous relationship between animals and plants in this regards. A plant seed in the ground is crushed and fetal. In order to begin its journey towards life, it has to be gently enticed by light.
Indeed, the need for water just confuses matters. Whether or not water is made available for the processes to work doesn't change the Truth. In other words, water is not the end, but a means to an end.
It is here that we can challenge the conclusion of evolution. Contrary to opinion, the purpose of life is not to think and reproduce, but is to see God and to see Him better. If so, then that means every part of organic and inorganic substance and force exists either as a sense organ or was once a sense organ now in the state of rudimentation.
In other words, our fingers, hands, and arms were once sense organs that are now in a state of rudimentation for the purpose of aiding our senses in seeing God better. Likewise, every part of our brains that work in unison to function were once sense organs that are now in a state of rudimentation for the purpose of aiding our senses in seeing God better.
Please, don't lose focus here.
The conclusion is this: Every part of existence whether it be organic or inorganic, along with every part of our bodies is either made up of sense organs, or is made up of sense organs in the state of rudimentation.
The end isn't to think and to reproduce as these are means to an end. The ultimate end is to see God better.
