The questions about the errors of scientism are no longer even a matter of debate. The ontological presuppositions of scientific materialism are seriously flawed and cannot be demonstrated by the claimed scientific method. There is no empirical event which makes them true. They are the fantasies of warped, frustrated, little Victorian men who wanted to skip out from Anglican and Puritan church services to frequent brothels.

Give up while there is still time.

You sound like David Hume. This whining about a posteriori methods is tiresome. If you honestly believe that there is no reason whatsoever to trust induction then you cannot trust science or anything else that uses induction. You will not even be able to say that the world exists, as Descartes pointed out. All you will be left with is your a priori methods that require axioms, which are by definition accepted without proof. Since you cannot justify any of these axioms, by definition, you will never know which ones are correct. That is unless you pull the 'Faith' card. Then you can justify all of your axioms by God and win every argument that you choose to participate just by being 'faithful.'

Great.

well said.

From your last couple of posts..

“They who wanted to skip out from Anglican and Puritan church services to frequent brothels.”

“Quite a few of the most ardent Darwinists of the liberal secular humanist type are sexually maladjusted”

“Liberal sexual hangups are behind the hysteria for atheistic Darwinism.”

You seem to be quite obsessed with and hung up on sex...I am quite sure you do not have any evidence or proof for these really strange claims of yours...these are just things you have apparently just made up, because for whatever reason, you wish them to be true...and they all involve sex...quite interesting...
