[PLUG-TALK] Re: Science only = nihilism.

[GLL]

: If you say yes, then you believe that things which can not be
: scientifically verified do not exist. [ ... ] If
: you only accept that which science can prove to exist actually does
: exist, then you are very limited when it comes to asking questions
: about what man's purpose is.

You also have no means of declaring right or wrong, or defining human rights 
of any sort, because the restraint from infringing upon another's rights 
comes from respect for others - something else that science cannot prove.

If you are abjectly curious about what it would feel and sound like to crack 
open another human being's skull with a bludgeon, and you are willing to 
exchange the aftermath of long incarceration in order to gain that experience 
personally, then science cannot stop you.

If you successfully embezzle zillions from a company retirement account, use 
money-laundering tricks, and flee beyond the reach of extradition or other 
punishment, science cannot explain why sipping Mai-Tais on a tropical island, 
bought with the accumulated savings of others, is wrong.
