Has the positivist transcended the mystic objectively?

I presume you mean effectively ignored them. When Kant transcendentalizes reason he must be doing something like that. But Leibniz would say to him, what transcends your transcendent reason?

This is not a joke, I've read this same thing over and over on this forum: who or what came before the Bang Bang? And then the grand touché, who or what came before God? The Greeks knew something was eternal and they weren't afraid to call it divine. That was in the good ol' days before science shrunk down into deophobia with its preferred perceptions and constant refuge in logical antitheses.

This is not a joke…

Oh, I know… (I wish it was) – How does one respond to a question of, “What created the creator of time, space, matter, and life? --- (I really don’t require an answer here because I don’t know how long I can stop time or how much nothing weighs)
