Intresting, there is nothing like comparing apples to peanutbutter. If
you want us to accept your having some knowledge of western philosophy and
of theology, you must first critique the several flaws in your logic and
the presuppisitions on which they stand. For an intresting book that
touches on the topic of both science and human will:
"How we Believe"
M. Shermer
Quoted message said:There exists a fundamental incompatibility between the free will
concept of the human psyche assumed by classical Western morality and
the determinism demanded by science. The basic issue remains
inescapable. If our actions are not up to us, then we have no moral
responsibility for them. The fundamental flaw of the scientific
worldview is, thus, its failure to explain how free will must be
subject to causality and, yet, remain free. The classical Western
worldview of morality, values, and virtues says that humans are
different from other animals precisely because man can rise above his
base and carnal desires with his free will.Science says that individuals should blame everything on their
biology, molecules, genetics, and their use of prescription
medication. So, where is man's Free Will?My first challenge is for any science person is to rationally explain
how the scientific worldview can account for FREE WILL, which just so
happens to have been the basis of the Western system of Justice in
America for the last 200 years. Please explain how free will must be
subject to causality and, yet, remain free without making a public
fool out of yourself. The facts are that no rational explanation can
be provided by the scientific worldview. Ergo, the scientific
worldview is fundamentally defective.Prior to and during the 19th century, the human psyche was a direct
reference to the existence of the soul. Today, it primarily means the
mind, or mental faculty, of a person; directly due to the corrupting
influence of the scientific worldview upon Western society.Science goes way beyond attacking alternative medicine. It ultimately
places a direct attack upon the Christian faith and its belief in the
physical existence of the soul. Determinists suggests that our health
is merely a choice between scientific biomedicine and anti-science
alternative medicine. I am arguing, however, that the real choice is
between scientific determinism and classical Western morality, values,
and virtues.My next challenge for any science person is to rationally explain how
the scientific worldview does not directly attack all Judeo-Christian
religious beliefs, especially but not limited to beliefs in the
physical existence of the human soul (both before and after death), or
at least 50 percent of the population of the United States who hold to
these religious, and last but not least the Republican political party
which openly claims that America was founded upon the Christian Faith
and its belief in the physical existence of the human soul. The facts
are, no simple rational explanation can be provided. Ergo, the
scientific worldview is fundamentally defective.
