it 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 - I'm sure you know how to use Google, do your own research. That article I linked for you will give you lots of material to research.
The point is that there are plenty scientists who are researching morality using the tools of science.
For you to dismiss that as "scientism" is nothing but a cheap insult. What are you afraid of? Roman Catholic dogma and superstition is not the arbiter of the limits of science. You lost that argument centuries ago.

Morality is a philosophical subject not a scientific subject.That is only your subjective opinion.

If somewhere somebody exists who thinks that science can tell us whether we ought to prefer chocolate ice cream or pistachio then that theoretical dullard is guilty of "scientism".
On the other hand, science can inform us about objective morality and consciousness is probably nothing more than a function of the brain.
That does not make Harris and Dennet guilty of "scientism". To sustain that accusation you have the burden of proof to show the evidence that they are wrong.
P.S. Go fuck yourself with your accusations of trolling SBF.

Yes
Perhaps
Absolutely not
my 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..
They surface very occasionally and then disappear again.

In that four year old thread Terry was illustrating how theists are easily satisfied with anything that seems to support their beliefs. It is not a defense of the ontological argument - quite the opposite.
with the chances of war breaking out on the korean peninsula rapidly rising, i wonder if jehovah will save his people in seoul if kim jong-un decides to nukes it?
or will their deaths just be written off by the governing body's writing department as another case of "time and unforeseen occurrence"?.
while you might think that i'm being flippant or trivial here, i'm being quite serious.
China's antics in the South China Sea are perhaps the next biggest threat to world peace.

I would be happy to do so on a different thread.
This one is about your persistent accusations of so-called "scientism".

Nuclear war in Korea is not impossible or even unlikely.
North Korea may be the biggest threat to world peace at this time. They must not be allowed to have viable nuclear weapons. How do you stop them?
