some named [truth] expressed this idea: "nothing is beyond the reach of that which is scientifically knowable because we live in a comprehensible universe. All it takes is time"
do you agree or disagree with [truth], and please give a reason for your choice of an answer. no simple agree/disagree answers wanted w/o explanations. After all this is a philosophy board, yes?
There is no way whatever - on strictly scientific grounds - to evaluate or to invalidate any objective quest for knowledge, regardless of where it may lead or how it may preceed. Knowledge is knowledge. Truth is truth.
I believe that there is a limit to what we can learn.... for there are some things which are unreachable. We will never observer first hand what's on the edge of the universe for example. I firmly believe that there is no way to get there. Now, this shouldn't keep us from trying!

The best we can do with truth is probability.

I agree with truth but disagree with a comprehensive universe.
Because.........
I believe that what I
feel is truth, however, I don't expect it to be explained (comprehended). Even if you did explain it to me, I would never understand. For instance, I don't understand the bold part of your post. ??? <--- this is me. It doesn't seem to take much to do this to me.
