What other option provides a reliable method for determining truth?
How about a witness at a trial? Or do you believe anything based on a logical conclusion or a philosophical reason? Can science view anything in an abstract manner? How about love and hate? Are these just the results of chemical reactions in the brain or a mere physical reaction to a stimulus? Scientism reduces the whole human being and experience down to a chemical level because it can't grasp things like emotions or hope in any way other than a physical testing. According to science EVERYTHING we think, feel or do -everything we are- is a physical process. Everything about us is nothing but dirt in action. Sorry bout that. I guess my nonphysical side got carried away for a second.
