"I laid it out plainly enough for any honest person to see and carefully qualified my position, by citing hostile sources that agreed with what I put forward. "Hard core Scientism leads directly to Nihilist conclusions about life's most important questions." http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=28213828 " Yes, I find that quote in the link you provide above. But that link is just your own words. How is that a hostile source? "it should be also clear that were materialism correct, the world would be without purpose and our life without meaning. Morality, which must assume free will, and thus responsibility for immoral acts, would be a delusion." hawaii.edu Again, a meaningless misdirection. Not one single instance of the word scientism OR nihilism in that link. You play games, buster; and that is of no value to me. Maybe to somebody else?? You introduce a tortuous colon into every discussion and the outcome is just what one would expect. Your attempt to link scientism as a necessary precursor to any forms of nihilism failed. And your (not so subtle) linkage of science and scientism ( the view that science has pre-eminent authority and value) also failed. One can be a scientist and not clutch scientism. And one can subscribe to scientism without in any way, shape,or form endorsing nihilism. Stop wasting time with your foolish attacks.
