By the way, that is the first time I have been called a "nouveau-empiricist troglodyte". I like that, is it yours or did you read it somewhere? I like originality, but since its a first for me I still give you points!
As far as I know, I made it up. The "troglodyte" part was just tossed in for fun and irony, since it's normally used against those of the Church.
And to be honest, it wasn't directed at you. I only read Dave's post, and didn't scroll up to see what he was responding to. It was intended more generally toward those who insist they are men of science and reason, but refuse to look into the fact behind the fable when it suits them not to.
