The conversation is over.
John_Mann will continue to ignore my repeated statements about scientific evidence being just one of many types of knowledge and throw around the same vacuous insult over and over.

147Scientism - Nothing But a Childish Insult?
by cofty init is not uncommon for theists to accuse rational people on this forum of "scientism".. in my opinion it is nothing but a cheap shot from those who know they lack evidence for their beliefs.
if something like "scientism" actually does exist then i have never encountered it.. here is part of an exchange from another thread - i have brought it here as it was off-topic.... scientism = claim of scientific method being universal and the only valid method of knowledge.
followers of scientism always demand scientific evidence to anything.

My suggestion to you is only specify the type of evidence when you're talking about the concept of God.
Don't say only evidence but qualify it by saying scientific evidence, testimonial evidence, physical evidence, forensic evidence, logical proof, etc..I will consider ANY sort of evidence - as I have told you repeatedly.
But considering your position is very easy to imply you are talking about scientific evidence
There is your error right there!
Scientific evidence for god's actions in the physical world would be just one example.
I have never changed my position on this which is what makes your repeated childish insults so pathetic. Is it that you refuse to read what I write or you are just too arrogant to bother?

In this very thread some people admitted to be followers of scientism.
That's a lie .
Quote and link please.

I have never specified any limits on what evidence you might want to offer.
This thread is not about whether or not you have evidence for God or what sort of evidence that might be.
This thread is about your baseless accusations of "scientism". So far you have failed to withdraw it or support it.

So you think you know what I mean even though I have explicitly stated the exact opposite multiple times.
Further conversation with you is literally impossible.

Bollocks! You have used scientism as an insult dozens of times in recent weeks. You even refer to it as a cult. How many examples would you like me to paste here as proof?
I have never demanded scientific proof of God I just challenge you to provide evidence. You constantly twist that into scientism. Go and read my OP again.
Since Christians insist that God acts in the physical world - as you have - it is perfectly reasonable to ask for evidence.
This thread is full of examples of the sort of things that might equate with scientism. I have not recognized any as positions I would agree with. Your work is all ahead of you.

Interesting but none of this justifies John_Mann's frequent and unjustified use of "scientism" as an insult in this forum.

I am deeply suspicious of a lot of what people label as metaphysics but I am nowhere close to being guilty of "scientism".

I think his distinction between absolute morality, provisional morality and relative morality was very useful.
