I'm not familiar with your co worker's argument, so I can't say.
Quote:"Metaphisical" is a fucking bullshit superstitious word. It is nothing more than retrofiting after the fact.
Your statement here can't be proved by empirical evidence. Therefore this statement falls into the field of metaphysics.
You're showing us that you have strong beliefs concerning which metaphysical position is correct. If you believe, for instance, that science is the best or even the only way to know what's true about the world, this is a metaphysical position.
Let me cut to the chase.
NOBODY, NOBODY, AND I MEAN NOBODY in any part of the world in antiquity had any inclination as to what modern science today has proven. I am so fucking sick, of all parties involved, and I have seen all sorts from Christian, to Jewish, to Hindu, to Buddism to Muslim ect ect and MORE, all of them look back in time after the fact and claim they had insight and special knowlege to confirm "they" were reading into the future. NO THEY WERE NOT!
