Let us make use of a watchmaker analogy. A scientist studies the inner workings of the watch itself, its gears, its hands, its very movements and ability to remain constant in these said movements. This is useful, of course, and through knowing the watch he can come to learn something of the Watchmaker. He can study how He brought the parts together, for instance. Not only that, but he can attempt to make predictions as to the movement of the watched based off of inferences made from past motion of the hands and gears. He can dissect the watch to its very core, and even reduce the watch’s function to that of its inner workings. This he can accomplish well, for he is comfortable with it. However, the scientist will not be able to grasp for what reason the watch was crafted, he will not uncover the mystery of the watch’s true function. He can understand something of the design, but not the purpose for which the watch was crafted.
That's a small piece of a paper I'm writing right now. I just felt like putting it in here right now. I know you didn't read it, but enjoy anyway.
