The Ownership of Science

[GaryAnderson]

Yes it’s about who “owns” science. Do you have any problems with philosophers using science to answer existential questions?

We seem to be changing the subject.

When it comes to existential questions, people usually answer them for themselves. Like "What's your purpose in life?" - it's not up to Francis Fukuyama or Deepak Chopra or Pope Francis to answer but everyone for themselves individually.

But people WILL use some scientific facts to answer existential questions. This is the point. Do you have any problems with anyone doing this or no?

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.

I bet you have a really hard time understanding alot of things, given your comments in thread.  Is that what you think philosophy is all about?  Taking leaps of faith - that's how it's done?

That's what it means, for example, to prove something?

Yes that’s exactly what it means! Michio Kaku says that there’s a multiverse. Nick Bostrom, says that we live in a simulated reality.
Theists say that God created the universe because it’s fine-tuned for life.
