origin as philosophy (Old Stuff #2)

"No matter what way you look at this singularity, you have exited science for philosophy."  G.L.Schroeder (Ph.D Nuclear Physicist/Cosmologist) states, "Events preceding the appearance of matter and space cannot be studied (by science)... Singularities cannot be treated by conventional math... in terms perceivable by humans, there is no solution.” Why is it important to understand that when you discuss the beginning of the universe (Origin) you have left the realm of science and entered the realm of philosophy? 

First, it is important to understand the limitations of science as I have heard many people tell me that they believe science will answer all their worldview questions. They have hitched their cart to science, but fail to realize science is successful only in answering the "how". The why or even the implications of the how are not discovered or answered by science. So when someone desires to base their worldview of Origin on science alone, they have planted their feet on only what can be known after the beginning. Please do not misunderstand me, I love science, because I do not believe it explains away God but rather it gives us a glimpse of his greatness and love. 

Second, once we have come to terms with the fact that the question of Origin is a philosophical question, we can listen to scientist claims of Origin from a more appropriate perspective. We can seek to understand their claims or theories not as fact, but as philosophy. We can then use our own mind to realize that the theory they are presenting has not and cannot be tested in a lab, but instead must be tested in the arena of the mind. We can use our own minds at this point as opposed to relying on scientist to do our critical thinking for us.
