logical positivism one does not apply to theology/christianity that would be positivism.
two unless you are in 1930s germany logical positivism is not a legitimate scientific world view or philosophy any more..
logical positivism was a movement that falsifiability and philosophy of science (which all modern science revolves around) obliterated the false philosophy of logical positivism in like the 1930s/1950s. The science of the 3rd reich which made the arians the master races was due to the gaps in knowledge logical positivism created. which was why popper narrowed the field of science. LP's logical positivism/ists encompassed the philosophy of science into all disciplines which again allowed the corruption of science and evolutionary bigotry, because popper narrowed the field/reach of scientific study science became what it is today. A pure field of potentially unbiased study.
Philosophy of science[edit]
Upon the global defeat of Nazism, and the removal from philosophy of rivals for radical reform—Marburg neo-Kantianism, Husserlian phenomenology, Heidegger's "existential hermeneutics"—and while hosted in the climate of American pragmatism and commonsense empiricism, the neopositivists shed much of their earlier, revolutionary zeal.[1] No longer crusading to revise traditional philosophy into a new scientific philosophy, they became respectable members of a new philosophy subdiscipline, philosophy of science.[1] Receiving support from Ernest Nagel, logical empiricists were especially influential in the social sciences.[24]
In short popper and his philosophy of science obliterated you LP. No one of any legitmate scientific back ground or understanding is working off the LP philosophy.
stop phoning this in. eat your crow and hursh yourself.
