I wrote this for an Atheist, Science will not find the answer for everything and to believe so would be great error. In fact, science cannot tell us philosophical truths, mathematical truths, logical truths, moral truths, ascetic truths, historical truths, metaphysical truths or divinely revealed truths. Science is limited, well to,... Science. Why anyone would place science on a pedestal as their God is beyond me. In fact, it is astonishing that people trust so much in "Science" when "Science" itself is NOT without error. How do you know that the "Science" being presented to you by the so called "Scientist" is itself absolutely true? Or do you have blind faith and trust in these "Scientist" of today? In fact, there is a bigger irony here coming from these Atheist Scientist who often claim to be intellectuals. They say, "Science is the only path to Truth." Really? Did you know that this statement is a philosophical one. So these dummies are using philosophy to posit a truth claim which says that philosophy does not lead to truth, it is self-refuting and an illogical belief. This just goes to show the biased presented today by people especially the majority of the scientific community (which as far as morals go, is highly influenced by Secular Social Agendas, as if "Science" could tell people what is Moral or Immoral in the first place, but indeed they would like people to believe so). In fact I will present a quote from a Scientist that shows just how far the philosophical bias spreads... Professor Richard Lewontin, a geneticist (and self-proclaimed Marxist), "‘Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the supernatural. We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism." "It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door."
