"In short, if it can’t be touched, seen under a microscope, measured, counted, weighed, or otherwise sensed, then it doesn’t exist, meaning that the immaterial or metaphysical realm does not exist."

This is where the article jumps the shark. If it can't be touched, seen under a microscope, etc. does not mean it doesn't exist. If scientists are looking for something, and can't fine it it often can mean there is evidence to suspect something exists but it hasn't been discovered yet. Therefore the quest continues to find ways to quantify it in order to show that it in fact does exist and can be proven. Only after proof can be shown that there is no evidence to support something is it declared that something doesn't exist. Science is very methodical that way.

Funny how these little details get ignored in order to be sure a point is made.

DaG..This is where the article jumps the shark. If it can’t be touched, seen under a microscope, etc. does not mean it doesn’t exist.

Irish..And until so-called ‘scientists’ can find ways of empirically determining that man’s imagination and dreams do in fact exist, we must take their word that they do not, and are in fact merely illusions caused by brain secretions? The sheer absurdity of evolutionary humanism knows no bounds.
