    Not to mention the several postulates that you have to assume before you can even begin to begin the process of logical reasoning.
    Namely boring things like trusting your sensory perception on the world.

    This is especially the theory of knowledge. Because it can be impossible to prove many times to be true (as opposed to reasonable), you can suggest everything is an opinion/belief.

    Well it doesnt matter if god exists or not. People behave like he exists, follow his
    rules etc. and therefore it works without god. If god exists the believers execute
    his commands. If god doesnt exists they also execute his commands and fill the
    vacuum of a none existend god. A pyramid system with inflexible rules doesnt
    need a leader cause everything the guy on top needs to do is represent. If the
    leader, like god, is not visible at all its particularly easy to represent without existing
    at all.

    Get out of your stupid metaphysical crap and back into the real world.
    Who cares if physics is all some big mass belief system, at least it fuckin' works.

    In your country that is true as well. I know, I've been there. That doesn't mean I judge you, your country, or your people on that, simply that they exist does not mean that I either have to like them nor that their fellow countrymen are the same.

    You must have me confused with someone else. I never suggested any of that. Even if someone was to take knowledge (justified belief that is true) is impossible, that doesn't mean physics (or science in general) is a belief system like an ideology or religion. Belief just means opinion; it says nothing about the thought or evidence behind it. A belief ranges from a mere impression to a comprehensive scientific theory. The word "belief" seems to scare people because it is informally used too much to refer to "religion".

    2. u dont liek the outcome, since it doesnt really allow you to flame creationism.
    3. ???
    4. RAEG

    well at least thats not very uncommon within the various religions. u might want to start a holy war - i heard thats not so unusual either if someone "insult" your god(s) :cool: ^^

    Being stupid and metaphysical has nothing to do with science.
    It's just being "WHOA MAN THE UNIVERSE IS LIKE A SPOON LOOK AT MY HANDS THEY'RE HUGE"

    Science is methodology, metaphysical garbage is idiots speculating rubbish in forums.

    cmon my troll was way better, dont just reply with the same shit you did before.
    even if its a drag, you cant just neglect parts and redefine science for yourself ...
    epistemology is no "metaphysical crap" - its exactly what you ask creationists to abide to, why should you be excepted then? :rolleyes:

    Metaphysics is infinitely more fun than science.

    How quaint, Blizzerd gets so sensitive when people question his long held beliefs.

    sanity can only be measured accurately and unbiased by comparing a persons trust levels into things that have ether been proven trustworthy, or untrustworthy

    be it a preacher or a guy in a lab coat

    if it tells you something that ends up being true and testable, and you stick to it you get positive points, if you abandon it you get negative points

    if it ends up being un-testable or untrue, and you stick to it you get negative points, if you abandon it you get positive points

    the more positive points, the more mentally sane

    Sanity is somewhat useless as a word, considering it is best defined as 'like me or close enough'.

    Science lets you post on these forums.
    Metaphysics is the content you're posting in this thread.
