Remarkably, Wasmann's "theistic theory of life," assuming divine intervention in the origin of the first organisms, admitted the possibility of a future demonstration of spontaneous generation and then a withdrawal of the assertion that "the acceptance of a personal Creator is a real postulate of science" (Wasmann 1910, p. 205).
Memorize and apply vocabulary, definitions, rules, formulas, read and recite proofs, axioms, postulates, laws of science and math.
But Planck himself, though fully aware that the Quantum Theory, in contrast to the Theory of Relativity, signified a complete break with classical physical theory, held it to be "essential for the healthy development of physics that among the postulates of this science we reckon, not merely the existence of law in general, but also the strictly causal character of this law".
This objection to Quine's criterion, then, is based on the Meinongian view that some things do not exist.[19] These things that do not exist typically are taken to include fictional entities, postulated entities of science, and all manner of intentional objects; sometimes (mere) possibilia, impossibilia, and various abstract entities are also included among the non-existent.

To that part of the educated classes, every success of science reinforced their certainty in a clockwork universe, justifying not just disagreement with, but dismissal of, any postulates that were not consistent with the prevailing metaphysics.
He followed, thereby, Kant's doctrine that pure, practical reason postulates the existence of God, but he tried to transform Kant's rational faith into a speculative knowledge on which he based both his theory of science and his ethics.
