Atheism, Theism, Science & Philosophy

YES! It is unreasonalbe and therefore irrational, and so....

It seems as though you are using the word "irrational" in the pejorative sense as opposed to its philosophical meaning. Correct me if I am wrong.

You have a firm grasp of our disagreement. You are making unreasonable and therein irrational inferences.

These are all extremely complex philosophical issues.

In terms of the typical use of English language, with which we're communicating right now, I was simply stating that it is fundamentally inadequate in a number areas. One such example is: expressing real love to another person; music or other forms of art are much more appropriate. You could pejoratively label this as "irrational" or "unreasonable", but from my perspective this does not add any credibility to your argument. The British philosopher of language John Stuart Mill shared a similar opinion about the limits of reasoned language.

My basic point is this: I am certain that rationalism and the scientific method have limits in terms of accounting for the entirety of the human experience. Supplementation is required in a number of areas; I have provided some examples in some earlier replies.
