What are the questions science can't answer?

[Moonstruck888]

If you are not interested in truth, and if you are not here to respect and understand other peoples ideas or world-views, then why are you here? What is your problem? Are you just trolling? I am surprised that you haven’t yet been banned.

I’m a scientist and you’re a philosopher. We have diametrically opposed views and always will…

Why should I respect your World view when you just plain take the **** out of mine?

I value science. Your world view is positivist materialist naturalism (a philosophical world view by the way). That is not science. Its a philosophy pretending to be science. Don’t get all up set now just because I’ve exposed it for the ridiculous philosophy that it is.

Sadly, the feeling is not mutual. When my atheism and your vanity has us meet with each other in hell, it shall be the worse for you.

You are indeed right; it will be worse for me.

However, since I believe in heaven, I may have a chance to skip hell and drag you with me to a more pleasant environment since I already found out the answer to the question science can’t answer. Besides my vanity, I am incredibly stubborn.

I could tell you that my girlfriend is the most beautiful woman in the World. You could tell me that your girlfriend is the most beautiful woman in the world. Both of us could be telling the truth with total sincerity.

False. Since the sentence “my girlfriend (wife, actually) is the most beautiful woman in the world” picks out ONE individual, the only way that your statement and mine could both be correct is if my wife is your girlfriend. Blegh! :nope:

It is true that you and I might both THINK that our girlfriends are most beautiful.

As long as science keeps increasing **the scope of human knowledge **and technology, I don’t really care if it discovers “truth” whatever that might mean.

What is your definition of knowledge? If a claim isn’t true, then how can you “know” it?

Under that definition of philosophy, I can see how it could be useful, but many of the philosophers on this forum seem so wrapped up in their own delusions of omniscience that they can’t see beyond their own truth tables.

Well, I’m not here to defend other philosophers on this forum, but only to defend Christian beliefs.

Amen.
