I think that's what science has taught metaphysics. We make up models that we can
comprehend and it they are good at explaining things and predicting things and they are
consilient with our other models then we provisionally adopt them, and that's the best we
can do. They may be right, be we can't know that.

proceeded from the mouth of God. Perhaps he should have said that truth was a provisional
reification of the most useful model."
