The empirical method Options

[sikdragon]

I don't like the empirical method. why? because basically it says that everything humans can't explain doesn't exist. If that isn't closed minded then I don't know what is. By using the empirical method your mind does not exist. We all know that isn't true. Every living person has a mind regardless of it's health.

No im not saying emericists are closed minded. Never did I say that. I said that the way people use it to disprove God's existance are more than close minded.

Okay, then explain how it is close-minded to use it to go about disproving God, and I will try to answer... even though I'm not much of an empiricist (or at least I don't think so).

And the hypothetical situation was uninspiredfae gave sikdragon an invisible box. Key word hypothetical.

I? Give you an invisible box? Why on earth would... never mind.

Lets say I'm a 5 year old who gave you an invisible box and ask you to play with me and being the gracious person that you are, you agreed.

After the game I ask that you give the invisible box back to me... and you show me your hand, palm flat.

I look at you and say ask, where's my box?

You say, it's right here in my palm.

What? I don't see it!

You insisted that you're handing the box to me as you speak.

I cry and said that you stole my box for yourself since it holds a wealth much akin to a king's ransom.


Now then, what would you do?

To make this clearer, the situation is that you have no box because it is imaginary, but I (a 5 year old) insisted that I handed you a box and you stole it...
