Scientism & Philosophical Arguments

[Esquilax]

That said, if you choose to believe that reality is intelligible and that the intellect is reliable, then it is reasonable to apply the Principle of Sufficient Reason and ask the following questions. Why is reality intelligible and what makes people capable of reason? But of course, these are questions someone ideologically committed to atheism dares not ask.

I think a far better question is: why should reality not be intelligible without a god, and why should evolved people operating in an environment that confers advantages for reasoned reactions to stimuli not be able to reason? But of course, these are questions that nobody ideologically committed to theism dare ask, instead they just presuppose them as already having been answered, coincidentally in ways that align with their own worldview. I've never yet seen a theist adequately explain why they think these things would be excluded by atheism.

Esquilax, it's amazing how you can be condescending while insulting someone for being condescending.

Meh. "No, you are!" is the lowest form of response.
