In the thread, which became the essay, Popper's "Systematic Observations," a new perspective on the genesis and growth of modern science was proposed. The nature of the perspective on the genesis of modern science lent itself to Berkeley-like evidence for the existence and presence of God. . . So I started a thread with the intention of putting forth that evidence. It went THUD.
So I'm back to the drawing board, moving slower, and more methodically, to establish the foundation, again, more clearly perhaps, hopefully, in the discussion of the genesis of the modern scientific-method, which, I believe, is the source for uncovering scientific evidence for the existence and presence of God.

. . . the greatest contribution of medievalism to the formation of the scientific movement [was] the inexpugnable belief that every detailed occurrence can be correlated with its antecedents in a perfectly definite manner, exemplifying general principles. Without this belief the incredible labours of scientists would be without hope. It is this instinctive conviction, vividly poised before the imagination, which is the motive power of research---that there is a secret, a secret which can be unveiled.
