A Swiss Army knife approach in the scientific process seems proper. More comfortable now than before: Assume no — rather than add an assertion of a — prime mover. Lean against — instead of with — the sense of a singularity of cause and a cosmic telos. The universe seems too diffuse for this. The search for a first and sole cause is a simplistic endeavour in most manners, thus faulty in its searching: self-limiting. Work from the principle of, and see no base reason to, reject the unicity of reality — not necessarily ontological monism. Emergentist layers exhibit relative autonomy yet ultimately supervene on foundational strata. You should be skeptical of the superficial assertions of ‘ways of knowing,’ working with a bounded eliminative naturalism. There is value in a unified epistemological philosophical naturalism for approaching this unicity, then deriving a methodological pluralism as we see in most of the sciences today, proceeding forth into a principal of simulation for advanced scientific experimentation, extrapolation, and prediction.
