I mean. Again. We're pattern seeking creatures that like having answers. We developed a method that updates based on new information, replication and peer review. I provided one hypothesis that I'm not even wedded to. I just think its an interesting idea. If you have alternative explanations or ideas I'm open to them, whether they can be tested or not. It's just my preferred method since it's more likely to provide meaningful results in my day to day life.
Yeah I agree, im not against science either. Its a very useful tool and without it, we would not be able to do much.
I just think there is also the aspect of the soul, and spirituality, which makes us human beings. Without that, we are just animals. And science says we are just animals. I dont think so. I actually fully believe we are much more than that. But this comes from my own intuition, and I can never give any evidence for that.
Yeah, we have to draw from presuppositions somewhere no matter what. I presuppose that you are a separate agent from me, aware of your own existence and all that, but I can't definitively prove it. Can you describe what the distinction is for you that makes us "more" than "just" animals?
