Modal Argument: The Mind is Not the Brain

Okie dokie then ..

She was a bit too rough on you.

But she is right, scientism isn't a meaningless insult. It is a pejorative, but it indicates a real belief system that is prevalent in atheist communities.

The question mark in my post meant that I didn't get her point, if she had one other than to call me a jackass. She's not very eloquent.

You claim with fervor that "scientism is a real belief system." Obviously there aren't many scientism churches around, so the idea is not common socially, I mean, If I were to ask the average man on the street what it meant, they wouldn't likely know, would they?

I have read the dictionary definition of scientism, and it seems silly to me, as I believe we all use the generic scientific rules of discovery every day without even noticing it. So evidently I don't get the point that you and apophenia are so passionate about.

Could you please explain the tenants and adherent draw that I don't see in this discussion. Are there really people who call themselves Scientivists that don't mean it in a generic support of real science? Well other than trolls of course..
