science. Both are philosophical subjects that can only be understood
philosophically.
No they aren't. That is just another attempt to say that if you
haven't got religion (or whatever you call your monkey/addiction) you
can't understand religion.
I'm only pointing out the fact that intelligence and design can't be
studied or explained by science.
Both can be studied by science.
That's just your empty claim. There is no evidence to support that claim.
Post by defaultScience is the study of nature and behavior of natural things and the
knowledge that we obtain about them...
This includes the departments of learning and bodies of fact in
disciplines such as anthropology, archaeology, astronomy, biology,
botany, chemistry, cybernetics, geography, geology, mathematics,
medicine, physics, physiology, psychology, social science, sociology,
and zoology.
You seem to think that "science" is both limited and static, when
nothing could be further from the truth.
There is no "spiritual evidence" That's just made-up BS. Trying to
say that something that exists only in the imagination, and is
therefore outside the realm of scientific study is valid, but that's
not the same thing as making it REAL.
The spiritual evidence shown in my signature is never any imagination.
Of course it is. Define spiritual...
The spiritual is beyond the definition of human mind.
Then it exists only in the imagination.
Imagination still exists within the mind. It's not possible to imagine
that which is beyond the mind.
Oh I dunno, you do a pretty damn good job of it yourself.
Post by aaaPost by defaultPost by aaaPost by defaultPost by aaaPost by defaultMany authors write books of total fantasy, but that doesn't mean the
situations they write about are real. You wouldn't expect science to
study the "Lord of the Rings" for instance like it portrays real
people and situations. If science were to study it at all it would be
with how it affects the people who immerse themselves in the fantasy,
but not the fantasy itself.
That has nothing to do with the issue under discussion. Intelligence and
design have nothing to do with fantasy. They are still beyond the
comprehension and the study of science.
Only if you are an anti-academic, anti-science, Trump-loving, Luddite.
Blind denial.
You are no doubt totally unfamiliar with the work of messieurs Lewis
Terman, of Stanford University, and Alfred Binet, as well as many
others?
Design is not an abstract concept. I design things all the time. I
weigh the choices and make decisions on how to achieve machine designs
to do what I want. It could certainly be studied by an outside
observer - and my work is often studied and critiqued.
You still have no scientific method or standard to determine what design
actually is.
