Really? Would you care to explain to everyone how mathematics is a system that has absoloutely no evidence behind it and is therefore an assumption? I'm sure we'd be riveted to hear your explaination.
Or how about how intuition and instinct is more important than rational, critical thinking and technological progress?
Could you also give us some insight into how the human mind and science are in any kind of conflict whatsoever?
Perhaps while you're at it you can explain how the horse and cart was a more efficent way of transport than the automobile and how your tin foil hat protects you from mind control.
Go on, enlighten us and convince us you haven't pushed yourself into a corner where your intellectual credibility will die a cold, lonely death before it had any chance for the slightest acknowledgement. :-)
When did I say it has no evidence? You sure you're in the thread you think you are?
I said mathematical propositions cannot be scientifically proven. Numbers don't exist in the physical world to be observed, tested, experimented on. (1) In fact, if numbers truly do exist, they violate the very physicalist paradigm of science that suggests that everything that exists is physical, because numbers are not physical. (2)
If you believe that scientific exploration is the only way to discover truth, mathematics and logic are just scientific assumptions. (3)
The only way for you to escape the problem of assuming mathematics and logic is to acknowledge that science and materialism does not account for all of reality.
Go on. Now it's your turn to enlighten us.
