I was just about positive you wouldn't admit your assertion was metaphysical, because if it is, according to the statement itself, it's "not real." You can't measure it, you can't use it to make predictions, you can't prove it, and there's no evidence for it. It's fine to believe it if it pleases you, but it isn't a scientific statement
You didn't realize it was metaphysical, did you? Ooooooooopsie! The rest of the post was irrelevant bullshit where classical theism is concerned. But this howler was too good to pass up, especially since your whole ignorant argument falls apart without it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientism http://edwardfeser.blogspot.com/search?q=scientism http://edwardfeser.blogspot.com/search?q=scientism ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : Is that it? No argument whatsoever? But then you didn't have one going in to the discussion so why would you have one at the end. Business as usual. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote : (snip all kinds of nonsense) You do realize this is a metaphysical, not a scientific, statement, do you not? So the only way it isn't in conflict with science is because it isn't measurable. And if it isn't measurable it isn't real.
