The fact is that 'type theory' and claims that "Whatever knowledge is attainable, must be attained by scientific methods; and what science cannot discover, mankind cannot know", are categories of knowledge not given unto telescopes. That is, his claim is self-discrediting.


Seems fairly obvious to me what Jamest says here;

The two statements "Whatever knowledge is attainable, must be attained by scientific methods" and "what science cannot discover, mankind cannot know" can not be attained by scientific knowledge.
Therefore according to the statements, if the statements are correct, they can not be known because they can not be attained by scientific knowledge. The position is either wrong or self refuting.
