Some of the audible differences in

No, all of them.


Rather a sweeping generalization, the sweepingness of
which gets to the heart of the philosophy of science, and its
fundamental difference from religion.


Prove me wrong with a working example.

More specifically, no such statement can be made in
science, but is often made in religion.


No, it is not a sweeping generalization in the context that it is stated.

Science is *not* a method of hammering down loose nails;
it's a process for discovering which nails might be loose.


That's true, but how is it relevant to the discussion at hand?

Thanks, as always,
