> You have said on this thread (28 January at 01.38): "Physics trumps metaphysics any day of the week. Scientific Materialism is RELIABLE." Does it? Is it? Are all the factors, faculties, emotions, decisions that you regard as most important in your personal life based on scientific materialism? -Scientific materialism is reliable until the next better theory arrives. A theory is only a workable conjecture, based on the best present evidence at hand. Metaphysical theories are exactly the same, realiable until the next better theory arrives, based on the best present evidence at hand. How and why are two sides of the same coin, not separate magesteria! That makes my theory of a universal intelligence just as valid as theories from sc. mat.
