Ruse Flashcards
How does R refute P’s “R’s definition of sci as repeatable/law governed is wrong”
Yes BBang is unique, but components that make up unique phenomena give us a close enough picture (meteor strike dinosaurs)
How does R describe methodological naturalism? (mn) how isn’t mn atheistic?
mn= working philosophy of scitist, assumes universe is lawful and we can understand these laws without a causal God. mn does not answer the question of god’s existence alone.
R refuting P’s “there is no law only regularity”
Even if those regularities came to be known as results of deist, theological, or other philosophical presuppositions, they work, and therefore are compatible with mn
R refute P’s objection that sci definition is not exclusive but still must include mn?
Evo sci has become a full p over time, but its failings do not disprove mn. It works.
R refutes P’s objection of a mere definition of sci excluding God:
Sci does not include mn by R’s definition; neither was R’s definition intended rigorously. Sci, when judged by sci standards, includes mn
R countering sci stop
P presupposes theism and ignores the sci data when he says that current paradigms are fruitless
R refutes P’s “Augustinian sci” idea
Asci takes the legitimacy of nsci for granted by co-opting “sci”. McMullin says Asci presupposes a faith that only is enabled by grace, and it is dangerous if Asci is taken as legitimately and universally as nsci.
