Did it really take twenty minutes to write that? That comparison is nonsense, and I'm getting tired of hearing it. Accepted scientific definitions are based on observation and study. The process by which they are derived is open to study by anyone who cares to look at it and is able to understand it. These definitions exist because they have survived peer review and extensive challenges. If evidence emerges to support an alternative conclusion, the consensus definition changes. Reason was the only tool Descartes, Spinoza and Kant needed to arrive at a consensus God existed. Are you saying philosophy has arrived at an alternative conclusion? They wielded reason like a skilled fencer handles a sword. Few have skill in wielding or even holding that sword and if one lacks honesty it is impossible. Writing of course is a skill that anyone can learn the rudiments of. It may take faith to believe in Moses, Mohammed or Jesus but not God. There has been no new evidence to support a shift in this consensus and there never will be.
