Belief Versus The Scientific Method

I'm not at all sure what this thread is about.When you are driving your car, you could close your eyes, pray and allow Jesus to guide you. But you don't do that. You look around to see where you are going and to avoid accidents. You depend on perception, rather than on faith.Science works in pretty much the same way as perception, except that it is more organized and more systematic. If you reject science, you might as well reject perception.

It seems to me that you have done a pretty good job of debunking your own view. We all channel our internal values. But why personify them?What's important is to recognize that we might be mistaken, and that we might need adjust our values accordingly.The willingness to admit that you could be mistaken -- I've always taken that to be part of Christian humility. But I don't see much of that humility when I look at American conservative Christianity.

Oh, wow.It's an exercise is carefully describing things in ways intended to fool the gullible.And you fell for it.

I'm glad you recognize at least that. I don't assume that he was lying. He could be mistaken but not actually lying. On such matters, I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. But he was presenting nonsense, and that's a socially irresponsible thing to do. I learned something from reading Dawkins: "The Extended Phenotype". But I have not read any of his atheist books, and I have no interested in reading them.I've watch a video or two by Richard Carrier. Yes, he comes across as having an axe to grind. I am not an admirer of Carrier.Dennett is different from the others. I often disagree with him. But he raises good questions. I think that makes him a pretty good philosopher. In your mind, perhaps. But there really isn't any such war. Well of course, that is not the concept of the Christian God. This is what I so often see from apologists. They make an argument for a generic god (could be any of a thousand gods), and then just assert that it must be the Christian god. Perhaps they don't know any better, but it is a terrible way of arguing.

Something that I can agree with.But then why do you repeatedly try to defend such ideas? Why not just keep it to yourself?

According to Michael Egnor, black holes are supernatural entities.
