Appreciate the help in getting an important point clear in class today. There may indeed be such a thing as Truth, but if so it has to be found through some process other than science. Science, as per discussion today (and elsewhere) is not capable of determining Truth. It is limited to providing effective summaries of existing observations that in turn motivate new observations.

It is worth adding that science is equally limited in its ability to prove the non-existence of either "mind" or "spirit" as entities independent of the brain. What it might do is to provide alternative ways of accounting for the observations that are being summarized by dualistic stories that use either of those terms.
