I am not questioning the efficacy of the assumptions which science make. Also for my question the success of science as a method of relating to the universe is irrelevant. I want a answer why the assumptions which science makes are so efficacious. Who are what makes these good assumptions? I am asking a meta-scientific question and I consider at best a tautology the answer that these are good assumptions because they work. Now if Bill Tannenbaum is telling me there are some questions which I may ask and some which I may not, this sounds like some religions of which I have heard.
