Epistemology

It is possible to study God using the methods of natural science or natural inquiry

The methods of natural science and natural inquiry are not limited to reductionist experimental studies.

Our methodology is holistic and emergent

Our use of natural inquiry might include

  • Secondary research - literature review and use of findings made by others
  • Third person - observation, experiment of people and things outside ourselves
  • Second person research - observation and experiment of ourselves in community
  • First person research - self observation
