Re: [asa] Anti-Creationist Psychobabble On the Web

No, Burgy, all you're talking about now is 'non-supernaturalism.' Your negative does not lead to a positive. Read a bit of Popper, Lakatos and Feyerabend (mid- to late-20th century philosophy of sciene) to convince yourself of this. Thomas Kuhn will just re-Americanize you and not multilateralise you instead. What's better for the world?
 
Is it possible to think more retro-dictively than what you've just expressed?!

'Ascribe nothing to the gods' - and thank Greek thought for nothing in the Christian tradition either?

Methodological Naturalism can be traced back as far as Epictetus, who
phrased it as "Ascribe nothing to the gods" when he was discussing
investigations of nature.
