ROBERT SOLVES PHILOSOPHY


Robert, in a recent post said:
It is almost impossible to offer adequate proof to someone who has invested years into a belief. Only a life changing (or threatening) event may work. Even seeing ghosts or the Virgin Mary herself may not change the minds of these die hards. Often the commitment to the natural world is just too great as in the wealthy young man in the Gospel.
Ironically the very reasoning they use, or lack of it, is their undoing.
The Naturalist can not account for reasoning and rational thought. Their world is a result of probabilities and chance events, stimulus and response, survival or extinction. To admit reason, is to admit an outside source and admit supernaturalism!
I recalled what he said when  read the latest Corey Mohler cartoon:

Does Corey Mohler really know anything about science?
His cartoons remind me of something a lay person might invent thinking that if he uses enough 'big words' no one will question it.
Where as wot I wrote, though not really all my own, does need a refutation; else be accepted!
