Why is the scientific method so overrated?

it is a fine idol for "atheists" who desperately seek some form of an absolute to fill the void made by rejecting God

modern science fetishists are basically priests of the machine

You are retarded

There are these two guys sitting
together in a bar in the remote Alaskan wilderness. One of the guys is religious, the other is an atheist, and the two are arguing about the existence of God with that special intensity that comes after about the fourth beer. And the atheist says:
"Look, it's not like I don't have actual reasons for not believing in God. It's not like I haven't ever experimented with the whole God and prayer thing. Just last month I got caught away from the camp in that terrible blizzard, and I was totally lost and I couldn't see a thing, and it was fifty below, and so I tried it: I fell to my knees in the snow and cried out 'Oh, God, if there is a God, I'm lost in this blizzard, and I'm gonna die if you don't help me.'"
And now, in the bar, the religious guy looks at the atheist all puzzled. "Well then you must believe now," he says, "After all, here you are, alive."
The atheist just rolls his eyes. "No, man, all that was was a couple Eskimos happened to come wandering by and showed me the way back to camp." - david foster wallace.

I don't think you know what "logic" is, or could really detail the scientific method.

When you create a better way of developing knowledge that forms the basis for new technology and medicine, get back to us.

>Who defines whats logic? Who said its not all God's plan? How can you prove the non existing cat exists? How can you prove not everything is a product of my imagination? And then there is the kikes, the aliens. Who said that reality has to be either subjective or objective? Who said that medicine or engineering actually made our lives better? Why the fuck are you here?

I have acquired an enlightnent that you haven't and that is the fact that the problem is not what a school of thought says, because, within its own logic, arguments will inevitably lead to the same end, the same conclusion, because they're being directed by that schools methods. The problem is, which school is the right one. Look at the rules if the game not at the match itself. Philosophies spawn from feelings and science is no different. You won't get what I'm saying because you're too dumb to realize that yourself so it doesn't even matter

But what you're describing isn't the scientific method. The scientific method is about determining something is the norm by producing a repeatable result.

Did you know that Inuits have over 50 words for how David Foster Wallace is a cunt. They have over 60 for their joy at his suicide.
