Atheistic Dogma- Scientific Fundamentalism

[Jackalope]

So, from my research, I think future revelations in genetics and in quantum physics will increase our understanding of the nature of consciousness and the role it plays in our reality. Call me optimistic. You can stick with 'no way Jose' and assume we (or you Rhythm) already know everything there is to know about it, but I think that's a bit presumptuous.

....and you still are strawmanning what you're reading. With few exceptions, what you are *not* hearing is "no way Jose" or "we know everything already" but rather that your speculation that the answer will be found in quantum physics or genetics is just that: *speculation*, and forming positive beliefs about same is *unjustified*.

I've known Rhythm for years, and I can't recall a single instance where he claimed to know everything about anything. So far, the only argument I've seen you advance to support your speculation is a pure argument from ignorance (paraphrasing, "we don't know what it is, therefore it could be X"). Well, no shit. It could be, but until you advance beyond to what is possible to what is probable, the vast majority of us are going to respond with "so, what?".
