"The philosopher Karl Popper argued that scientific beliefs must be falsifiable: there must be some experiment you can perform that puts your beliefs to the test. A belief which cannot be criticised cannot be falsified, and so cannot be science. The silencing of critics is an anathema to science: a scientist must subject their ideas to the severest scrutiny and must welcome the scrutiny of others. The reward is that the greatest discoveries in science arise when we admit that what we once believed is wrong."

"It is not possible, in process metaphysics, to conceive divine activity as a "supernatural" intervention into the "natural" order of events. Process theists usually regard the distinction between the supernatural and the natural as a by-product of the doctrine of creation ex nihilo. In process thought, there is no such thing as a realm of the natural in contrast to that which is supernatural"

Metaphysical studies generally seek to explain inherent or universal elements of reality which are not easily discovered or experienced in our everyday life. As such, it is concerned with explaining the features of reality that exist beyond the physical world and our immediate senses.
