Someone using methodological materialism may or may not ascribe to Philosophical Materialism.


But, he's bound to it either way. The application of it.... Both are dependent only on matter. The philosophy does obviously define acceptable applications (measurable matter) within methods.

I guess it's no wonder the idea of a flat earth held us in suspension for so long when you figure materialism into the picture. How do ideas fit into there?

... Some atheists don't put the human race up as the ultimate creatures. They still make their own decisions as individuals.


I guess you are saying then that they, as individuals, are not human. Hmm.... interesting.

Since you don't interpret the Bible, what is the method that God uses to tell you that you are doing the right thing or wrong thing.


The bible gives us a pretty good idea of what God approves of and what he doesn't. You are right in one aspect, not a good idea to interpret too much. Personal interpretations have been known to get lots of people into lots of trouble.

God speaks to us in many different ways. some see his awesomeness in a pretty sunset, some in the vastness and workings of the universe, many see his work simply in the face of their newborn child.

He sent his son so that we might have a relationship with him. Many have experienced that as well.

He cannot be measured.
