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.

John_Mann uses the "scientism" insult for the explicit purpose of shutting down dialogue.

UK Memorial attendances up this year?!
by Isambard Crater inmy congregation had around 25 more people at the memorial last night than last year, and the two other congregations i have family in all experienced a similar increase in about 25 more people present.
umm, i'm surprised, having thought this year would see a memorial decline again.
and i'm kind of disappointed..

I don't think the governing body care about memorial attendance as much as they care about the amount of money they are putting in the contribution box.

Sour Grapes I'm really sorry to hear about your illness. Do you have any treatment options left?
If I had still been a believer when I was diagnosed I would have found it more difficult to accept the unfairness of it. Everything you have said in your OP is spot-on.

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.

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?

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.
