faith not science

It only took "god" and "faith" 27 years to come up with a dna test to free him, isn't that awesome.

Hi OPY,
You phrased your thread wrong. It ought to be framed as reason OR faith. I know what you mean though. Kind of funny. The Christian position is that one cannot have science without faith. And thus all secular science is non-sense or non-science. Those that work, are stolen from Christianity under the secular name.
It's more of a game then anything else.

You mean yours right? I don't need faith to know that most cells have a wall, yours is quite obvious.. after all.

Hi Rob,
I am simply helping you to be a better athiest, since you kind of suck as an atheist. But yes, in terms of logic, you do need to have faith (Biblical faith) to know that cells have walls. If it is not in the Bible, then we are dealing with probability, and not knowledge.

Yes I'm aware of the difference in blind "biblical" faith and faith based on observation and experience though I don't consider the latter to be much faith at all. Observable action/reaction, repeatable results and experience through prior testing is not quite faith but reasoning and probable cause.
Faith that when I drop a rock it will hit the ground is not the same faith as dropping a rock and expecting it to float.

Hi Rob,
Um, not sure what you meant by that. Blind faith is Existialism, not Chrisitanity. That is more atheistic since Existialism is a denomination of atheism.
Observation and experimentation is never knowledge, since if you did the same things 51,745 times of an experiment, you do not KNOW if it will occur the 51746 time. Thus, both original and origin science is never knowledge, only probablility via a presupposition of an assumption.
But you're getting off track here.

Probable cause is not blind faith. As for the rest of what you are saying I can't really hear you past the Jeanful insight. It almost seems as if you are saying we don't really know how to produce electricity.

Hello,
You say I'm funny because you hit a brick wall and are now unconscious intellectually speaking. How can Christianity be blind faith, if the notion of blind faith is an invention of the 1800's via Kirkengarrd? He was pronounced as a heretic. Sarte came later and started another atheist denomination of Existialism. So you are confusing the history of philosophy.
Secular empiricism is blind faith, because you never know what will happen. If you did an experiment on blowing air in a car tire. And each time it worked. And you did it 1000 times. You do not know if it will blow air in a tire 1001 times. Thus, you do not know. You have to do the same thing for infinity to know.
Thus it is blind since secularists assume that is will happen via the uniformitarian theory. This happens ALL the time in geology and is a secular principle of geology. Even though the principle deals with the past, they also apply it to the future experiments.
So anyway, I am just trying to help you. Here are the 4 views.
Faith AND Reason (My position)
Reason And Faith (Empiricism) - You
Faith OR Reason (Mysticism)
Reason OR Faith (Rationalism)
There is no 5th view.

Would you have reason to believe the car tire would not air up if it had worked 1000 times? God is not demonstratable at all. You are much too deep into the philosophy pool with your rubber ducky. /squeak squeak
Discuss with common sense when dealing with my ilk if you please, I am simple and rather dim witted and happily so when it comes to deep philosophical bullshit..or have you the capacity to stoop from your pedestal to join someone in the lower plane of reality?

Hi Rob,
Since belief is not knowledge according to weak atheism, then you statement "reason to believe" is irrelavant. The issue is knowledge. While Christianity says belief is knowledge.
According to empiricism, which starts with particulars only, you can only go off of sense data. You assume blindly that it will occur again. It is blind since you are working inductively up a ladder with zero z priori thinking and zero presupposition.
Schilereieimacher said that knowledge is not objective, but only via passion. Perhaps this is more your cup of tea?
Yes, God is not demonstrable via empiricism, but God is via demonstration of argument verses substantiation. Meaning we work with what we know, not what we don't know.

You didn't follow through properly. When you turn the key to your car do you first ponder if it will start? Do you worry or just assume it will start from prior experience? One day when it doesn't start do you assume it will never start again or do you think maybe it's time to replace the battery? If your car has been running fine and every morning you break out in a sweat wondering if it will start with absolutely no reason to expect it wont, you may have a problem and it's not the car.

Hi Rob,
No I do not ponder when I turn my key. Well, sometimes I do. Anyway, the issue is not about pondering, it is about knowing. The key will start the car probably or not probably (if it's a Ford or GMC). If it's a toyota, it's very probable it will start. But probability is not knowledge, and that's the issue we're talking about.

So, you don't use empiricism to gain knowledge then Jean? do you just walk around muttering bible verses all day? How do you dress yourself in the morning? Is it written in Revelations that Jean shall wear the pink shirt with the yellow bandana hanging out of your jeans back pocket, on May 13th, 2011?
I think you probably use empiricism to pick out your clothing and apply your makeup, or whatever else you do in the mirror in the morning

Hi KTULA,
Logic does not apply to everything. It does not apply to jokes. And it does not apply to your favorite Ice Scream. It also does not apply to picking out clothing.
While I do use my senses since God created them, I do not use them for knowing, since this is non-Biblical. If I'm going to wear a yellow shirt is not empiricim.
Also, color is not empiricial per sa. Locke said they were 2nd attributes, and put them on the inferior category of reality.

Well, you either believe your sense, or you believe that god is the ultimate frame of reference for everything. And you're wrong, logic does apply to everything.
You should know that Jean. Colour is most definitely determined empirically, do you think your yellow shirt uses telepathy to give you that bit of information about itself? I think it uses photons at a frequency that equates with colour yellow.
So let me get this straight, you criticize empirical method but you believe logic doesn't apply to everything, and you think that colour information is gained telepathically... Jean, Jean, you talk about consistency.

So, what you are saying is that we can't know anything but your jeebus..
There are no absolutes, a purple unicorn with tarantula legs and a holy bible inlaid in it's forehead could crawl out of your ass but it's not really likely imo..I'm just sayin'.
edit: no you don't have to check your ass every morning now ..really, yea.

Hello,
Logic does not apply to everything, you are wrong. Please explain the logic via the difference between a pregnant woman and a light bulb in which you can unscrew a lightbulb.
One's favorite Ice Scream is outside the scope of logic.

Another conclussion on this is that if Jean is doing the same experiment as an atheist scientist, the atheist scientist doesn't know the results for a truth but Jean knows the result as a truth.
ROFLMAO. I gotta admit, I do find Jean to be very entertaining and funny. More entertaining than another thread where a certain theist proclaims that "It works for him".
However, it can only be one or two things. Either he really is as fanatic as he says (doubtful, in my opinion, ) and just enjoys attempts to get a rise out of us. Or, he is a devout Atheist that enjoys playing the role of POE. I almost suspect the latter, but empirical observation says it could be the former.
But, I look on the bright side of his posts. If he is really for real and talks to all of these people that he claims to have encountered, think of how many agnostics out there will become Atheists if he encounters them on the streets ?
Got to hand it to you Jean, as much fun as I have trying to annoy you, if you are truly as you say you are, think about ALL the Atheists that you have probably helped jump from the Agnostic position.
Probably helping the cause more than I, Dawkins, Penn and Teller, and the whole crew of "evil pagan apostates" could ever do. And I do admit to being a proud apostate.
