"The New Atheists are back — and dumber than ever"

(December 26, 2015 at 6:22 pm)robvalue Wrote: It's kind of tautological. If something is a way of reliably gaining knowledge, it is science. Science is what works. Science is not some fixed set of tools, it is entirely dynamic.

If all these other BS methods actually produced any results, they would also be science.

Thank you, Rob. Exactly this. Theists keep talking about these alternative methods outside of empirical science to gain knowledge about reality, but no one is ever able to explain:

1. What exactly these methods are (other than the general "it's philosophy!") or-

2. What this knowledge is that they have gained, and how they are convinced that it is true.

Sure, It is easy to say "there are things in this world that lie outside of science," when you don't have to actually detail or articulate what they are.

Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Wiser words were never spoken.
