Atheism Undermines Knowledge

[Neo-Scholastic]

No one is excluding the "mental phenomena," as you call it. We are simply saying that the lack of understanding of a natural explanation for these phenomena does not mean that we need to leap to a supernatural one.

Current scientific methods absolutely do exclude certain parts of reality: formal cause, intentionality, and qualia for a start. And that is okay, except science is not the only field of human inquiry take for example linguistics and semiotics. Personally, I think the Cartesean divide has outlived its purpose. It is now being used to keep these two realms apart. The worship of Science, with a capital 'S', actually thwarts progress in bridging that divide. Have all the fun you want ridiculing my position as the search for elves and fairies. It doesn't matter, because what I'm making a serious inquiry into the nature and operation of qualitative values.
