Quote:You make many assertions..alot of which are completely unhinged.Quote:I posit that you can't know what it feels like to hold a cup of hot chocolate, because you haven't answered that question and can only talk around it. True or false?Well, I can verbalize an answer to that question, and you can choose to accept it or discard it. If you want me to prove that drinking hot chocolate is really as I say it is, my best bet is to try and get you to have the same experience, and see if you recognize in your experience the things I was trying to verbalize.
If you still reject it, then I have to walk away.
Your analogy is a poor one, however, because my reason for saying science can't answer certain kinds of questions isn't that it hasn't. It's that I know some things about reality, and about what science is, and I can see that there's a fundamental disconnect.
Now, I've also asserted that there's no good EVIDENCE that Science can answer other kinds of questions, because it hasn't answered similar questions before. This is a response to the positive claim that science is the best (or only) tool for answering some kinds of questions: you'll have to supply evidence that this assertion is true.
Nevertheless. I'm going to go ahead with the rule of hasn't = can't, note that you still haven't answered the question and are only talking around it, therefore you have given just as much "EVIDENCE" that you cannot know and do not know what it feels like to hold a cup of hot chocolate as there is for any of your own claims about some specific means of empirical investigation.
Should I simply walk away from you and your many equivalent assertions?
