Immortality via Technology

This is why you don't comment on old threads. He has the "notify me" flag set. It doesn't matter what you say, he's just going to keep repeating himself. He doesn't know what empiricism or materialism or naturalism of epistemology really mean, but he has no problem telling some of the greatest minds in the world that they are the ones who are wrong. You can sound like you are doing science if can collect enough similar facts in your head then connect them. One requires only a slightly more amount of actual knowledge than James has to explain why he's wrong.
You're right, of course. I just didn't want him to get away with the (lying or, at best, pathetically erroneous) stunt of saying a lot of science-ish stuff and then saying "therefore"... Christianity is "selected" by all the science-ish stuff. Of course, this sort of BS would go over well with a niche market of Christians who want to try to make their religion compatible with a more realistic worldview. So we're probably just helping him market something by encouraging his canned responses.
