HYPERLINK "http://biologos.org/blog/monopolizing-knowledge-part-1-science-and-scientism" http://biologos.org/blog/monopolizing-knowledge-part-1-science-and-scientism scientism Scientism is the belief that science is the only legitimate method of attaining the truth. According to scientism, only empirical concepts, ones that can be tested scientifically, can ever be considered truthful. As a result, all metaphysical contentions must be disregarded and invalidated. It should be noted, however, that the idea of scientism is fundamentally flawed due to the very nature of its ideals. It cannot be scientifically proven that science is the only means by which the truth is attainable, and therefore the view is, in a sense, self-destructive. Naturalized epistemologists, including Quine, have been accused of scientism when they explicitly or implicitly claim that epistemology can be replaced by scientific disciplines such as cognitive science. Many philosophers believe that a philosophical approach to epistemology which does not ignore the human condition and which does not approach knowledge reductionistically won't (and shouldn't) be eliminated.

Consequently the rigid logic of creation science is gaining in importance, enabling intelligent people to distinguish real science from atheistic secular junk science.

The Death of Science (or Scientism) - Full of facetious references to science, scientists, global warming, global climate change - there is no other goal [than commercial gain] worth having in a godless world - Science has abandoned its belief in God. - If you misread the entire foundation of the universe, believing all to be a result of chance, then youre going to have problems dealing with the pattern and order you actually find when your feet touch the ground. Science is showing the results of its crumbling foundation. - The fall of science is not grounded in technique, but rather belief. The only real antidote to the dark hordes of superstition has always been Judeo-Christian thought, not technique. Perhaps the world will learn this lesson before it plunges into another dark age.

Essentially a religion which preaches dogma and permits no dissent. - Scientism is a tool, useful to make political ideas carry the cachet of scientific fact. By draping their political theories in a cloud of scientific jargon, politicians can claim an unearned level ofrespectability and add weight to their ideas in order to confuse citizens and garner unwarranted support.

Three Views (Part 3-1) - This vid is based on a course taught by SisyphusRedeemer which uses BOOK: Theory and Reality: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Science by P. G. Smith - 3 (cooperating) views (plus more): 1) Empirical (experience) 2) Math (modeling) 3) Social structure (cooperation, n trust in others) - Science works. But, HOW does it work?... - role of empiricism: key element of how to know (by experience) - science is NOT purely guided by data n evidence. - history: Pettenkofer vs. Pasteurs germ theory of disease: Pett drank cholera infected water, but did NOT get sick, even tho it was truly the source of the outbreak. Lesson: simple empiricist picture is too simple. - The human mind actually participates in many ways in the construction of its understanding of the world. (5:50) - Galileo stated that math/numbers (math models) distinguish science from other ways of knowing, and account for its success. - Combine empiricism w/ math models to give more sophisticated, better view of science. - tension btwn reason and experience: seen as competitors - reason: Parmenides, Plato, Galileo, Descartes - experience: Heraclitus (Pre-Socratic), Aristotle (Platos student), Francis Bacon - a combo of both is best, but how to combine?... - consider that Darwins science required little to no math - the importance to science of social structure (If I have seen far, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants. ~Galileo) - peer review: keeps scientists honest; filters out kooks - The Scientific Revolution developed groups to police, control, check & coordinate scientific work. - Royal Society of London (Newton) - what to do when any combo of these views contradict (e.g. quantum: where empiricism and math seem to contradict)? Creates philosophical and scientific problems which r not easy to resolve.

(followed by its moderate descendent logical empiricism) - but, decisively rejected by 1950s/1960s! - classical empiricism: idea that all knowledge comes from (and is justified by) sense experience: Barkley, Hume (Scottsman), John Locke. - was reaction to classical rationalism: knowledge comes from (and is justified by) pure reason, including metaphysical truths: Plato, Descartes - 1) How do you know?: answer must involve evidence thru some sort of experience. - 2) What are the limits of human knowledge?/What kind of instrument is the human mind? - Locke (father of British empiricism): attack on Innate Ideas. Locke asked, How do you back up your idea? - Stephen Pinker (anthropologically evidenced universal ideas: several hundred. Check into this) - Locke: Tabula Rasa (blank slate): only thru experience do we come to have ideas. - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: brain isolated in skull (from birth) from sensory input: does it have any thoughts? Leads to sensationalism and skepticism - Sensationalism and Skepticism: - traditional empiricism leads to forms of principled skepticism (:we cannot have any knowledge at all). - external world skepticism (can only know experience sensations, not the world itself). problem of the veil of ideas: we cant get outside our head to see the world as it really is. *This view would eviscerate science! Were no longer studying objective nature, were just studying patterns in our own subjective experience. - inductive skepticism (only have experience of past/present, so cannot know future will be like past). Relates to the problem of induction. The Rise of Logical Positivism (Part 4-2) - The Vienna Circle (primarily Germans n Austrians: group that founded logical positivism after WWI: interested in scientific developments, mathematical logic, n philosophy of language. Conta to German Idealism (e.g. Hegel, n Heidegger) - Place high premium on reason, clarity, n precision of language. - logical positivism and theory of language: analytic/synthetic distinction; and verifiability theory of meaning. 1) Analytic propositions (mathematics n pure logic. true or false in virtue of their meaning alone. about word: relations of ideas according to Hume) 2) Synthetic propositions (empirical and scientific. true or false in virtue of how the world is). - 2+2=4 is true by definition as a stipulation: invented to talk about things we do experience. A convention by a linguistic community - The Verifiability Theory of Meaning: e.g. What is blue; and Agua es azul. Both have the same meaning. The meaning of a sentence is how you verify it. If there is, in principle, no way to verify it then its meaningless (not even false, but beyond false!) Only statements that are testable have any meaning at all, thus experience is the only source of knowledge and meaning. - external world is meaningless, since this cannot be verified: there is only world. - observational statements vs. theoretical statements: - observation: how about augmented sensing (microscopes, etc.). what if we can only observe evidence of a thing? - Context of Discovery, Context of Justification: - It (relativity) was so beautiful it must be true ~Einstein - But the verification is more important than how it was discovered - positivists were solely interested in justification. The Fall of Logical Positivism (Part 4-3) - Problems w/ the Verifiability Theory of Meaning (much of language is meaningless) - downfall of logical positivism - poetry, ethics, theology arent verifiable - The Problem of Reflectivity: cant verify the Verifiability Theory of Meaning - ARTICLE: Two Dogmas Empiricism (W.V.O. Quine): a game changer, and is considered a classic of modern philosophy. Testing n meaning are holistic: when you test one idea you test all others connected to it. We can never test all our assumptions. - The First Dogma (of empiricism): The Analytic-Synthetic Distinction: Quine argued there is no scientific way to make sense of the analytic-synthetic distinction. web of beliefs - Euclidean geometry was analytically thought to be true. - The Law of Excluded Middle (violated by superposition as illustrated by Schrodingers Cat thought experiment). Demonstrates that the analytic belief can be changed or thrown out! (so they are NOT necessarily true by definition!) - Logical Empiricism and the Hidden Structure of the World: Scientific Realism, but logical positivism is obligated to deny this! Since all science can tell us about is out experiences. Logical empiricism was an attempt to deal with this problem: no hidden world. - logical positivism died the death of a thousand cuts - the lesson to be learned are the limitations of empiricism and a caution not to be over-confident.

BD: Well, youve already gotten it wrong. You shouldnt be looking for a Creator. Thats putting the conclusion before the evidence. What you should be doing is gathering evidence then seeing where that leads. - purpose => intention => emotion => opinion, and opinions can vary, and can change. - how do we make a comparative value judgment of the various forms of life? - God is not an idea, so it should be detectable, somehow. - humans are not necessarily better than other animals. - ones world is not entirely ruled by science: emotion plays a role (like, I like that movie). - God is a being, not just a feeling or impression, but a being that has interacted with the world.

The value of something is entirely based on opinion, therefore, its subjective and science isnt meant to measure it. VFX: The reason for painting it was not subjective.

VFX: But this excludes the possibility of other intelligences (e.g. transcendent minds, i.e. God). - COMMENT: You can tell the painting is painted, regardless of who or what painted it. The same is not true of the universe (i.e. we have nothing to compare it to). - If a/the Creator is unknown to one, why should the possibility be ruled out? -~ Atheists do not want there to be a God. ~VFX (( research this) RE: The Limitations of Science and "Scientism"  HYPERLINK "http://youtu.be/9lh2HMoyChI" http://youtu.be/9lh2HMoyChI - Just because the possibility of detecting a supernatural being may be outside the scope of science does not mean we should automatically assume one exists just outside the scope of our universe.
