\nmisguided materialist view and our of a faith in science that he wants
\nto have answer more than it can answer. Dr. Anthony Rizzi who is a
\nphysicist writes in his outstanding book
\nScience Before Science: A Guide to Thinking in the 21st Century<\/a>
\ntunnel vision that
\nscientists often develop in their empiro-metric view of the world.
\n For them philosophy is not a science at all though they live
\nby philosophy of scientism. Out of ignorance they don’t know
\nthat modern science grew out of Christianity and that it was clergy and
\nCatholic layman that were behind so many discoveries that further
\ndeveloped the scientific method. They forget that it is
\nbecause of our non-material intellect that we can even do science to
\ninvestigate the material world in the first place.<\/p>\n
Since Mr. Myers has so little appreciation
\nof Catholics since we are so stupid and he is so superior I though was
\nwould someone as stupid as myself do to get back at Mr. Myers for this
\ndesecration. I though hey “An eye for an eye” and all of
\nthat. So what might a biology professor like P.Z. Myers hold
\nsacred? I though obviously a microscope since without it his
\nfield would not have gone very far. So I asked my readers if
\nsomebody could provide me with a microscope and one person slipped me
\none<\/p>\n
To show that this device has no power of Science did not prevent me from doing any By the way I do highly recommend Last week biology professor P.Z. Myers desecrated the Eucharist by first piercing it with a rusty nail (well we pierced Jesus with a nail before) and then tossed it in…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-punditry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2477"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2477\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nits own without a non-material intellect I first pierced it with a
\nrusty nail, and then desecrated it with holy water since obviously a
\npractice such as that offends scientism. I then tossed it in
\nthe trash with a banana peel.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\nof this and the microscope and every other tool is just a construct of
\nour immaterial intellects. So free yourself from scientism
\nThe scientific method is itself a being of reason and not
\nprovable
\nby the scientific method. The
\nempiro-metric method while quite useful for studying the
\nintelligibility of the world comes short when it come to ontology.
\nOntological question are aided by these branches of science but the
\nempiro-metric view can’t be used to prove ontological questions.
\n The three layers of abstraction Metaphysical, Mathematica,
\nand Physica are not at odds to each other and we need to return to the
\nview that theology is the queen of the sciences, though this does not
\nchange the importance of the other sciences. Faith vs.
\nscience is a silly debate when there is not a “versus” only an “and.”<\/p>\n
