Watch all you can from David Berlinski.

Berlinski received his Ph.D. in philosophy from Princeton University and was later a postdoctoral fellow in mathematics and molecular biology at Columbia University. He has authored works on systems analysis, differential topology, theoretical biology, analytic philosophy, and the philosophy of mathematics, as well as three novels. He has also taught philosophy, mathematics and English at Stanford, Rutgers, the City University of New York and the Université de Paris. In addition, he has held research fellowships at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria and the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques. He lives in Paris.

There is so much more.

It’s up to you.

His last line is the clincher. “These points need to be examined and they never are, never are.”

That is exactly the point I was making in the post. It is a false theory that science will defend to the death.

Sorry, I had to be a host to visitors for a bit. I am impressed with the frank approach of David Berlinski as I watched the “you tube” you presented. You and he are on the same path I was/am on.
It seems reasonable that philosophers should cross paths with the sciences since “it” predated them (Aristotle being the first). Since Kant and the “categorical imperative” there have been distinctions between reason and empiricism that don’t float. If your desire for the truth is the emperative then you ultimately reach a conclusion that God is and that He rewards those who seek the truth (Him).
