The Ownership of Science

[Brian37]

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 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.

"Fine tuned for life" is the biggest joke argument theists make for the existence of a God. I once had a Jewish co worker who knew I was an atheist, and we were outside the pizza joint we worked at one night taking a break, and he was miffed that I didn't believe in a god, and he pointed to the clear nighttime sky and the pretty stars and said, "Isn't that proof that God exists?".  I responded, "Yea, it is so pretty. Ok, take a space shuttle up into orbit, take a space walk and take your helmet off, you'll find out how "fine tuned" the universe is for humans."
