We went off on a tangent there, I suspect we've already bored everyone else in this thread to death ;)
I want to close with the observation that whether you're aware of it or not, you're talking about supernatural claims that have been postulated without any scientific evidence.
To make this distinction between the words metaphysical and supernatural feels a bit similar to fundamentalist Christians who assert that they're not religious - a phenomenon which I suspect happens for the same reasons: because they believe their faith represents the "truth" about the universe, it doesn't count as a religion. But to everyone else, it still does.
- mkempe 11y agoAre you claiming there is no evidence for the concept of causality? and that any discussion of existence or identity is the province of faith, not reason? If some people replace metaphysics with religous idiocy, that does not invalidate the field as such -- the same applies to all fields of rational inquiry, from physics to psychology. I subscribe to the evidence of the senses, logic, and science. If you think any discourse about such topics belongs to the supernatural and religious, that's your problem, not mine.
