On the very root of Materialism.

RE: On the very root of Materialism.
(July 25, 2011 at 6:34 am)Descartes Wrote: This view, however, is self-contradictory. Because it sets a condition for the validity of any calim that it has to be scientific while this condition itself is not scientific. There is no scientific evidence proving the idea of science as the only true means of human knowledge, It is merely a belief that can be jstified by philosophical propositions, exactly like belief in God!

Wrong on every level. Science is a tool, a method for which we use to look deep into the unknown, with observation, testability and verification. It functions on principles. I think you're only attacking science because science does not support your beliefs. All I can say is....get used to it.

Now to flood the thread with some reason.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
