Oh my!!! Thus these "yelpers" — methodological materialists, a/k/a/ "MMs" — just keep on "yelping!" Their logical position is self-contradictory and thus perilous; but they just don't seem to care or want to notice.
Good grief, I just loved "the publicity condition" the yelpers would impose on us — NOT!!!
I'm sorry, but I just suspect that people who think the way the MMs do are totally out of their minds. They are psychiatric patients — or ought to be.
Plus their behavior kind of reminds me of a turkey house: initial conditions are quiet; but then, one turkey starts yelling — and sets off the entire turkey community within earshot to do likewise, as if in total panic.
Result: NOISE. Nothing means anything in this scenario. It is just turkeys "communicating" with each other....
Better stop for now. Thank you ever so much for writing, dear Heartlander!
For someone who’s supposedly above materialism, you seem curiously fixated on material theory.
Thank you so much for all of your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
“Apologists for MM provide a number of supporting rationales. It is claimed that design: is objectionably unobservable, violates a ‘publicity’ condition on scientific evidence, precludes general, law-based explanation, is a ‘science stopper’, is an argument from ignorance, fails to provide a mechanism, is ‘intractable’, is not ‘controllable’, is empirically sterile, makes no practical difference to science, and, in any case, has been decisively refuted.”
Spirited: These are the brazen lies of con-artists-—men who hate God and blame Him for the evils of this world. It is not that design does not exist, everyone can see that it does, but that unscrupulous, intellectually arrogant self- worshippers manipulate our perception of reality (mind control) in order to force us to exist in a false reality void of morality, truth, meaning and purpose.
In the former Soviet Union such people had the absolute power over life and death that permitted them to force their false reality onto everyone else. Here in America, anyone who poses a threat to the power they exert through imposition of false reality is mercilessly whipped with the help of our compliant media with a cat ‘o nine of cruel ridicule, mockery, and accusations of hatred, intolerance and insanity in order to cause other people to shun them.
In the Soviet Union, truth-tellers were killed. Here they must be destroyed via psychological terror.
