And how do you propose scientists measure these?

Do you suppose the world, the universe, consists only of things which can be measured, coyoteman?

How would we go about "measuring" you, for instance?

OK, how do you propose that scientists [identify, verify, record, catalogue, evaluate -- choose one] these?

How would we go about "measuring" [an individual human], for instance?

Start with a fairly large blender. Set to "liquefy." Pour into equally large container. Ascertain quantity in terms of weight, fluid ounces etc. Conduct measurement in environment that prohibits evaporation of contents. If desired, subject result to experimental processes that may reconstitute contents without the use of intelligence or design. If all else fails, try the microwave.

Well, at least that's one "scientific" way to do it.

i.e. if you can't measure it, it don't exist..

Interesting concept.. The Shultz syndrome.. "I see nothing, know nothing, do NOTHING".. when it comes to things I don't know and can't prove, exists.. LoL..

Indeed - a mere description doesn't cut the mustard. It's not a matter of what he looks like, but what he "is".

And how do we measure pain/pleasure, love/hate, joy/sorrow just to name a few qualia?
