The purpose of science is to confirm materialism. So scientists find evidence that supports materialism. If not, they must just keep looking.<BR/><BR/>For example, when intelligent design theorist Michael Behe pointed out evidence against unguided Darwinian evolution in Darwin's Black Box, Richard Dawkins, a materialist, said Behe should just keep looking until he finds a materialist explanation. But Behe disagreed because the problems he was finding were fundamental, like the hard problem of consciousness. They signaled that something was wrong with the materialist approach. <BR/>From <A HREF="http://www.thedesignoflife.net/blog/Issues-in-science-The-mindbody-problem--why-is-it-a-problem/View/Default.aspx" REL="nofollow">The Mind-Body Problem</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-4845009971767712702008-03-19T14:33:00.000-07:002008-03-19T14:33:00.000-07:00On Good Friday we remember "Greater love hath no m...On Good Friday we remember "Greater love hath no man than this, that he would lay down his life for his friends"<BR/><BR/>There is no peace to be had with the forces of darkness; they must be recognised for what they are and overcome.
