Scientific method proves order cannot exist w/o intelligence

[Zen Badger]

Sorry, but logic doesn't work like that. If an argument is based on an assumption you can't just say "well, until the assumption is proven, we'll assume it is true".

What you have to admit, is that science assumes materialism in order to work, and on that assumption the entirety of science stands. Assumptions aren't good places to stand upon...

Ok, let us take this to a real life basis.

I work as a heavy diesel mechanic.

The vehicles in my working day have a 24 volt electrical system.

The alternators in these vehicles(buses in fact) charge at 27.5 volts (plus or minus)

Now I put my multimeter across the battery terminals while the bus is running

and the multimeter only shows 24 volts.

So from this I conclude that the alternator is not charging properly.

Now by your criteria I am only assuming that this is the case.

So what should I do????
