Animism

Post by Jonesboy » Sat Dec 24, 2011 3:39 am

The religion of the atheist is the religion of the Church. That religion is animism.

Science is animism. Science says that objects are an antecedently given domain, already individuated, and waiting to be described.

See the problem here - from science's own statement? ? it first offers animism, then a contradiction? See it? Of course you don't. That is why you need me.

"Science says that objects are an antecedently given domain, already individuated, and waiting to be described."

What's that in English?
"A philosopher is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there. A theologian is the man who finds it." ~ H. L. Mencken

"We ain't a sharp species. We kill each other over arguments about what happens when you die, then fail to see the fucking irony in that."

"It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism while the wolf remains of a different opinion."

Here it is, from the Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy -
".... the phenomenon of language relativity ... has led many philosophers, including Geach, to the view that ideology creates ontology. There is no antecedently given domain of objects, already individuated, and waiting to be described. Instead, theories carve up the world in various ways, rendering some things noticeably distinct and others indiscernible, depending on a theories' descriptive resources. "

Where does "science" claim otherwise? Who is this "science"? Is there a "science" outside of the scientists? Find a scientists who says X and I will find you one who says ~X. OP defunct from its basic premise. :biggrin:

"Science" doesn't say anything. Scientists do. Fallacy of Composition.

One. I never said scinece says anything or nothing.
Two. Why are you agreeing with me?

No. You are my mate you are. Like me, you are a black man finding his way in a recalcritive bend in the cistern. It's the cistern man. That's what the bros problem.

True, you didn't say "scinece" says anything, but you did say "science" does. Hope it's not rude to quote you in the OP: "Science says that objects are ..."

Two. Why are you agreeing with me?
I'm on a mission from God. And you have nice tits.
No. You are my mate you are. Like me, you are a black man finding his way in a recalcritive bend in the cistern. It's the cistern man. That's what the bros problem.
I'm a black woman, though. Not sure if that's a problem...

Then, we are agreed that as long as we get our facts straight we needn't listen to them.
