Keith: Could you please tell me what conditions would have to occur in
order to
falsify a materialistic worldview? This is the question I've been
asking all along and as of yet have not received an answer from any
proponent of materialism. Any help you can provide will be
appreciated. Thanks.
If I understand your definitions correctly a materialistic worldview is
based on science (hypotheses and theories based on observations and
natural laws) to explain, as well as we can, the universe around us. If
such theories or hypotheses are found incomplete or inconsistent they are
changed, updated or dropped in favour of new ideas, hypotheses and
theories. As such the materialistic worldview can be falsified. For
instance the idea that the sun rotated around the earth was found
inconsistent with the data and the worldview of our solar system was
adapted to take into consideration our new findings.
If I am incorrect about these definitions, could you provide me with your
definition of materalistic worldview.
