report discusses what scientific realism is and how it applies to
what Hilary Putnam defined in 1975 as the “no miracles” argument.
The argument, also referred to as the “ultimate argument” is
thought of as the primary philosophical argument in favor of
scientific realism. Traditional scientific realism presents very
singular opinions regarding scientific hypotheses, theoretical
entities, and scientific understanding: theories in, at least,
mature sciences are typically and for the most part true.

presents very singular opinions regarding scientific hypotheses, theoretical entities, and scientific understanding: theories in, at least, mature sciences are typically and for the most part true. "The theoretical terms those
theories contain typically refer to entities that exist independent of us as observers and conceivers, even if those entities are unobservable; and scientific knowledge is to a large extent cumulative
