"You're a Materialist/Naturalist"
#10
RE: "You're a Materialist/Naturalist"
Ben Davis - What I'm trying to show is that even if we consider the Supernatural as a hypothesis, we cannot possibly find any evidence to support it so it is pointless trying to posit it as an explanation for a phenomenon.

I say you need to omniscient because:
Let's imagine we see a new phenomenon. Unless we have a complete understanding of the laws of the universe we cannot know it is not following one of these laws. There is no way to know that you know every single law of the universe unless you are omniscient (possibly, but anyway we haven't gotten to this stage yet so it doesn't really matter).


Theists claim that we discount the supernatural and claim it definitely does not exist. I disagree with this.
