My problem with the theory of evolution is that it is born purely out of the scientific method which conveniently chooses to ignore, and in fact *must* ignore, any philosophical, mathematical, or other kinds of non-empirical facts or truths in the process of theory-making. And it does this despite absolutely depending upon certain philosophical and mathematical truths to have any kind of consistent methodology at all. In other words, the same philosophical and mathematical foundation upon which science is built is not permitted in the actually process of scientific theory-making. Hence, science is an incomplete methodology.

Please stop taking all medication and using all technology because that was all fruit of the scientific method. Actually just ask your doctor to switch you to a different medication, your current one isn't working.

Please stop having thoughts. Thoughts are non-empirical and therefore useless.

^^ See? I can say stupid things that don't make any sense, too.

Problem is - what he said made alot of sense. You just didn't understand/accept the hint Wink

When it comes to statements not making any sense , the first quote clearly beats everything. Science ignoring mathematics... now that's a new one *g*
If that was to be the case, you'd be living in some very unstable and asymetric housing construction and none of today's hightech would even exist. No vehicles, no large buildings, no digital communication, no computers whatsoever, no electricity, at best some leaking/unreliable water supply coming from a dirty river where poeple wash their clothing in and take a bath while dumping their feces into it (think Ganges river in India).

The more I read the irrational and sometimes completely nonsensical statements of people defending religion, the more they (unintentionally) make it clear that they have literally little or no education whatsoever. As religion/superstition often has a correlation (but no causation) with lack of education or show clear signs of intense brainwashing, this comes with little surprise.
Still, it's always amazing to watch how clueless these people sometimes act and "reason" (in big parentheses) in arguments.
This is the reason they often come along as if they were drug abusers or downright mentally retarded. They're likely not, but the effects of reducing/destroying a human's intellect are strikingly similar.

It would've made sense if I said that the scientific method was useless. But, I didn't. So, no, it makes no sense.

If you're going to jump in to defend someone, you shouldn't assume they understand what they're responding to.
