This paper discusses the tension between holism and atomism in proving legal causation. It argues that while Daubert requires courts to analyze scientific evidence individually, the warrant of scientific theories relies on considering all evidence together in a holistic manner. The paper examines this tension and how courts can maintain scientific validity while meeting the atomistic standards of Daubert. It aims to resolve conflicts between holism in science and atomism in law.
