Yes, it is. Those are sciences.

Biology, chemistry, physics, etc. at any point in the past, present, or future.

is; amounts to

Anonymousa set of ... propositions.

a list of claims; a list of statements that are proposed as true

Anonymousaccepted or at least seriously entertained

agreed to; believed—or if not completely believed, then considered in a serious way; almost believed; considered probably true

This is a less used meaning of "entertain". If you entertain a thought, you keep it in mind; you think about it; you consider it; you wonder about it.
