I don't think that was the question, science can describe the essential, and as a phenomena be included in the essential, but there is no absolutes in science, science produces interpretations that describes the essential, interpretations that can be challenged with new info or better models.

That invitation by Dawkins to jump is a strawman. You don't need a model of gravity as it is posited by physics to understand what would happen if you would jump. It is as a pronouncement more supportive of relativism.

He is a good thinker and a fine explorer of his time.

Quote:

"They were the first known Europeans to see the great ocean, which Magellan named Mar Pacifico, the Pacific Ocean, for its apparent peacefulness, a stark contrast to the dangerous waters of the strait from which he had just emerged."

In what ways are Socrates and Buddhism similar?





Socrates and Plato spoke of the importance of "knowing thyself". 

Buddhist teachers sometimes ask, "Do you know who you are?”

(yeah, yeah, yeah, there is no Self, but there is a self)

To find our true selves requires acceptance, and willingness to abandon perfectionism.
