Suppose I related to you a conclusion that I hold, but you enumerated reasons for considering it unreasonable/implausible. I could then reply to you:
#1 Your ignorance and incredulity is not a (good) argument
#2 Put down the pipe
#3 Chapters and verses please
Would you be satisifed by my reply? Is that kind of reply appropriate?
Look, there are only so many reasonable options available, metaphysically speaking, in terms of defining and explaining reality. Why go with in an implausible one? The reductionistic hides behind the barrier of, "We don't know the answer yet but we hope to find out eventually, until then you have no right to settle on a plausible view."
Really? These guys can't even postulate a First Mover - it is in fact a logically incoherent concept in a domino effect - but they expect me to give them endless time to scientifically "figure this out". Isn't it more reasonable for me to postulate a First Mover, one that DOES make sense, namely free will?
