I think for many, the core of their worldview assumes things like physicalism and they use that to judge whether some hypothesis/theory/view is falsifiable or not (but not physicalism).
I can only speak for myself; at the heart of my reality are the conservation laws; when those go, by my own reasonable lights & judgment, I am done with physicialism, scientism and atheism. Anything beyond that, in my opinion, would constitue religion.
This will be my last post for this thread; I really have nothing more to say on this subject. Besides, the House GOP thread is way too much fun!!
Fair enough, though would've liked to know when do you determine when conservation laws are no longer the case. I probably need to read back a bit to see what else you were saying.
