Levin and Ghins on the “no miracle” argument and naturalism
On the basis of Levin’s claim that truth is not a scientific explanatory factor, Michel Ghins argues that the “no miracle” argument (NMA) is not scientific, therefore scientific realism is not a scientific hypothesis, and naturalism is wrong. I argue that there are genuine senses of ‘scientific’ and ‘explanation’ in which truth can yield scientific explanations. Hence, the NMA can be considered scientific in the sense that it hinges on a scientific explanation, it follows a typically scientific inferential pattern (IBE), and it is based on an empirical fact (the success of science). Scientific realism, in turn, is scientific in the sense that it is supported both by a meta-level scientific argument (the NMA), and by first level scientific arguments through semantic ascent and generalization. However, both the NMA and scientific realism are not
purely
scientific, since they go beyond properly scientific concerns, and require additional philosophical reasoning. In turn, naturalism is correct in the sense that philosophy is
continuous
with science,
partly
based on it, and potentially equally well warranted. Beside denying the
scientific nature
of the NMA, Ghins raises some objections to its
cogency
, to which I reply in the final section.

Rotella Gallery Presents: Michael Levin
About The Rotella Gallery In 2012, Robert Rotella opened the doors of the first Rotella Gallery at the Palazzo in Las Vegas, Nevada. With another Gallery in Soho, New York opening the following fall of 2013, Robert Rotella had a clear mission for what Rotella Gallery was going to represent. A photographer since youth, Rotella cultivated a passion for photography over a lifetime and craved to see it respected among the fine art community, he envisioned an art space strictly dedicated to the craft for photographers to share and sell their work. Rotella desired to showcase the artists he met in the field and, as a fellow photographer, to give them the freedom that other galleries did not necessarily provide. The gallery would focus on limited edition, collectible works and over the years has developed to manage most of the production and framing of each piece giving the artists creative liberties over their collections.

401 contributions a victim of pandemic at some companies
Eric Paley, leader of Nixon Peabody LLP's Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation team, was not surprised when he started receiving calls from companies on the issue, especially at the onset of the pandemic. Michael Levin, area senior vice president, investment advisor representative and retirement plan consultant with Arthur J. Gallagher, agrees that the cuts to 401(k) contributions were seen more in some industries than in others. Since the contribution is a standard part of many companies' employee benefits plan, Lohouse believes workers would be unhappy if the contributions were cut and the move may even give people an excuse to find another job where the benefits are better.
