That intrigued me enough to click back several pages, looking for you making a point, and all I can find are page after page of you foaming at the mouth. Did you make an actual point somewhere?
My point is that materialism is not the belief system to end all belief systems, so people should act accordingly, and recognize that it is a model of reality - not the thing in itself.
I hope my words don't contract rabies by the time they reach you. :(
Rather, your inability to understand figure of speech suggests autism, or rank stupidity.
"recognize that it is a model of reality - not the thing in itself"
That's in no way an argument against atheism, or for theism, or for/against science. The fact that a map is not the terrain does not make the terrain supernatural.
TetzFiles, that was totally inappropriate. I can't believe you said that.
(It's probably Aspergers)!
It wasn't supposed to be an argument against atheism. It was barely a statement - a passing implication of fact. Materialism has had many holes poked in it by modern science, see; quantum physics, incompleteness theorem, infinity theorem, chaos theory, etc.
You call me stupid, mr I'm in a perpetual state of quotation? lulz
I know you're replying to me. ;D
He probably just hates himself, & is projecting said hate outward, towards me; the whimsical, unsuspecting internet user - hoping to hurt my feelings, so that I may, in tern, become a sad, hateful, disenchanted soul, as is he.
BUT, HARK!!! I am ever vigilant, & in a perpetual state of joy & amazement at the miraculous situation I find myself in, at this present moment in linear time, clothed with all the coincidences & circumstances that make up a human life!
Wooo!
*Joy*
XD

YouTube comments rarely thread properly. Unless you quote the person you're replying to, it looks to other readers as if your comments are directed at the video (which often nets you a backlash). You've been here longer than I have, have watched thousands of videos, and haven't figured that out. That's a pretty solid indication of low IQ.
This is the same kind of ass-backwards logic you see from Creationists, invoking science to reject science. *lol*
Science is not a body of facts, it's a PROCESS for vetting competing ideas to distinguish between those likely to be true and those likely to be false. That science has "poked holes" in something is an argument FOR science, not against it.
The water didn't help. 8o(
This does not mean science can ever find eternal moral truths. And there is no proof that there ever will be anything that can provide eternal moral truth. Morality is about negotiating often mutually exclusive claims on resources.
Ultimately, science hopes to get all of us to see the world in the most verifiable way. Unity of view.
