Isn't that what science is for?I really have a hard time understanding you by the way. Lol. Philosophy will use science and take a leap of faith to attempt to answer existential questions.
Alot of people might suspect that you're spooling up some god of the gaps - but...personally, I don't know if it fits when you have to carve the hole yourself.
That's what it means, for example, to prove something?
That's a wonderful bit of voluntary information about how you see things - but do you think that philosophy and justified belief depend on sound premises, or that science is a way of generating those premises which either do, or should, inform us? Is there any problem, for example, in you or your hypothetical theist having gotten the relationship between life and the universe not just wrong, but entirely backwards..on the facts?
Does that have any effect on some belief which depends on that misunderstanding?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
