So, basically you're pissy because these scientists didn't immediately accept the unevidenced concept of a soul and work from that assumption, with no evidence? Your problem here is that these scientists did science and worked from the evidence, rather than engaging in the brand of mystical bullshit you engage in? Thinking

Quote:I hope people appreciate science, but I wish people were more conversant with some of the philosophical disciplines, such as the basic uses and function of logic and logical categories in our speaking and writing. It is really frustrating to see the mass ignorance that seems to coat nearly all of society like a wet blanket.

So your entire point is that you're frustrated that scientists aren't philosophers? Or that they'd prefer to do science, rather than wiffling on about things they can't detect?
