“That is a lot of philosophical nonsense.”
Science is predicated upon philosophy. It does not surprise me that a follower of scientism would not know this.
Einstein: “I fully agree with you about the significance and educational value of methodology as well as history and philosophy of science. So many people today—and even professional scientists—seem to me like somebody who has seen thousands of trees but has never seen a forest. A knowledge of the historic and philosophical background gives that kind of independence from prejudices of his generation from which most scientists are suffering. This independence created by philosophical insight is—in my opinion—the mark of distinction between a mere artisan or specialist and a real seeker after truth.”
Einstein: “When I think about the ablest students whom I have encountered in my teaching, that is, those who distinguish themselves by their independence of judgment and not merely their quick-wittedness, I can affirm that they had a vigorous interest in epistemology.”
It’s not nonsense. It is important to know how to know.
And, as my tagline advises, you can’t learn this until you first realize you don’t know it yet. That’s the first step of learning.
This article was presenting a philosophical argument for creation. You dismissed it and my comments because you elevate science to something beyond its domain. Science will never provide you with truth.

You are digging your ignorance hole deeper. I have never seen anyone spend so many words explaining why they do not understand the first thing about a subject.
I suggest you cease before you find you are in China.
Really — as a fellow FReeper I urge you to stop. Else your words will be used to show just how little “right wingers” know about science.
Have a blessed day and I am done here
