Atheistic Dogma- Scientific Fundamentalism
RE: Atheistic Dogma- Scientific Fundamentalism
(September 18, 2014 at 2:19 pm)Jacob(smooth) Wrote: Short version, you need to make a lot more effort to close the gap between "not impossible" and "worth considering".

I am the only person who determines for me what is worth considering and I have determined that. If you have not been convinced of it, that's fine. I have only been explaining what makes it worth considering for me. You, however, are not me, wherefore you may need something else to sway you toward it being 'worth considering'.

I have no issue with that, you can consider anything you want. As can I.

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?".

Please see my previous responses regarding this. I'm not interested in continuing to discuss it with anyone but Rhythm.
