Ok I see now. Speculating about physical phenomena that we could never discover them through science sounds way too much like speculating about God. I just don't see the point.

Well Kant almost agrees with this. He thinks the point of such speculation is to establish the limits of what we can know, and then not waste time venturing beyond those limits. He was a Theist like nearly everybody else of his time though. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Also saying something could be true doesn't technically count as speculation. Unless you want to count pretty much every claim as speculation.
Saying it is likely to be true would be speculation.
Claiming the Seahawks could win the Superbowl this year isn't speculation, but claiming they probably will is.
