Black cat in a dark room – and the Role of Science
The Black Cat Analogy
Philosophy is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat.
Metaphysics is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn’t there.
Theology is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn’t there and shouting “I found it”.
SCIENCE is like being in a dark room and looking for the switch.......
The light will reveal the cat.......
.......If there is one
Using the cat/light analogy, I know what a cat looks like in the light. Scientists can tell us exactly where the light switch is and how to turn it on, then they can then tell us whether the animal in the corner is in fact a cat......
