The second advantage claimed for naturalism is that it is equivalent to rationality, because it assumes a model of reality in which all events are in principle accessible to scientific investigation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Evolutionary naturalism takes the inherent limitations of science and turns them into a devastating philosophical weapon: because science is our only real way of knowing anything, what science cannot know cannot be real.
Naturalism teaches one of the most important things in this world. There is only this life, so live wonderfully and meaningfully.
I don't bill myself as an atheist but as a naturalist. Naturalism is a belief system. A lot of scientists bristle at that. We all have to believe we can find the truth. Evidence is my guide. I rely on observation, experimentation and verification.
It is a great advantage for a system of philosophy to be substantially true.
The great advantage of being human is that we can employ rational thought and resolve to change our circumstances.
Better understanding of the natural world not only enhances all of us as human beings, but can also be harnessed for the better good, leading to improved health and quality of life.
Far from being demeaning to human spiritual values, scientific rationalism is the crowning glory of the human spirit.
I find the science behind major natural events almost more interesting than the way in which those same events wreak their effects on human society.
Some theists in evolutionary science acquiesce to these tacit rules and retain a personal faith while accepting a thoroughly naturalistic picture of physical reality.
Human beliefs, like all other natural growths, elude the barrier of systems.
