There’s always a “saving device”, like the “Oort cloud”, to rescue an assumption / circular reasoning.
Thanks for your reply.
I’ve watched and studied this debate for many years, and have resolved it to the presupposition and the foundation of modern scientific inquiries.
Materialism/Naturalism et al, is the foundation for virtually all science.
I have watched as more and more theories invoke “meta-physics” in order to resolve the problems they themselves uncover.
They try to use reason and logic to explain why reason and logic are a material deconstruction of atoms and molecules.
It is a trap of predestination.
“My mind is and my thoughts are a function of the physical connections in my brain, these connections and thoughts are out of my control”. There is no free will and no free thought for that matter.
Yet they use this supposedly “evolved function” to explain how we evolved.
They want their mind to be free to explain why your mind is not free.
What does the Oort Cloud save us from?
Yes, the mysterious, undetectable “Oort cloud.”
