Title: shallow presentation of science and limits of knowledge
Review: I did not like this book much because it presented a shallow view on scientific knowledge. He presents numerous viewpoints of others to support his viewpoints, but all this shows is that some people agree. His arguments are easily refuted. For example the whole thrust of his book is that knowledge is limited. But this isn't true. Philosophers have long known that something cannot come from nothing. Reality is eternal. It has no beginning nor end. It is infinite. Knowledge which is our interpretation of reality is also infinite. There cannot be an end to knowledge. The universe, one scientist said, is not only strange, it is stranger than we can imagine. No doubt. Horgan does not consider this, or other skeptical arguments. We are left with a biased viewpoint, that leads nowhere. Scientists, are not at the end of knowledge, but barely scraping the surface of infinite knowledge. Science may run out of money, but it can never run out of knowledge.
