> Epistemological framework: What exactly are you discussing here? With questions that cannot be answered ... e.g. existence of God, origin of life and all its mechanisms, origin of the universe, nature of consciousness ... science can never come up with "the truth". Twenty-four-one-eleven: There is no hierarchy of approaches to such questions. Ergo David's theory of a UI is as valid as the atheist theory that everything can be explained by scientific materialism. Ergo it is also as valid as any theories (e.g. abiogenesis) derived from scientific materialism. However, since none of the theories can claim validity, it might be argued that the use of the word "valid" is invalid.
