Chalmers‚ chapter 7:� The Limitations of Falsificationism Problems stemming from the logical situation (87) Recap: the �logical point� in favour of falsificationism over inductionism is that‚ while no finite number of observation sentences will prove a general claim‚ one single observation sentence will disprove it.� BUT: 1. 1.

The Number of Variables: The first limitation that we noticed in our regression model is the number of variables that we used. The more companies that you have to compare the greater the chance your model will be significant. We have found that

God cannot do things that require embodiment and God cannot do something that implies a moral fault
