quote: ORIGINAL: drmark quote: Your use of the word "lay" implies that scientists are some kind of clergy. That's the real problem, today. It's not that science is taught as such, but that it's taught in the place of religion. And real old-time religion, too. Complete with a priesthood that acts as an intercessor between us mere "lay people" and the deep mysteries that only the ...

quote: ORIGINAL: drmark quote: Only science. My way of thinking and viewing the world is purely based on science. Then methodological naturalism is your religion, cd2009, whether you wish to acknowledge it or not! Ok, if the words 'methodological naturalism' = the word for 'science' in your description then you are trying to use it to incorporate the use of the word 'religion' ...

"WHAT supernatural causes?!?!? You keep parroting this phrase without EVER giving an example. Show me something supernatural and I'll accept it exists. Don't and I won't." You are using circular reasoning again. You have not shown anything to be natural, and hence I only conclude that you are imagining that it is natural. Also, I already showed you evidence that there is a unobservable ...

Kyle Basements: To which I responded with the obvious - Since undersea vents show conclusively that the Earth's crust is far from fully oxidized, there are plenty of reduced elements to suck up all oxygen and then some. So it should be obvious even to you that an atmosphere lacking any free oxygen would be unable to fully oxidize any carbon introduced into it. I know you wanted to make an ...
