else in the known universe. To Descartes simple arithmetic was constant and he always liked to work with mathematical formulas. Descartes therefore believed that science could be put onto a secure basis and even furthered the mathematical sciences with some theorems in geometry that still hold true today. (Kessler 322-327)
             I agree with Descartes that science could absolutely be put onto a secure basis, this would make it able to forward progression. Even Descartes who did not trust his senses all the time but still realized that there was a starting point for science. Once a basis is in place you can add it as a fundamental truth and use that to get more truths which are the progressions of science. The higher you get though, the more branches you can follow in this science that keeps on progressing. As long as you have the foundations there is no place to go but up or further along one of the branches. If Descartes were alive today I am sure he would feel that the bases for science have cau
