I was challenged by a humanities Proffie to answer this.
want to take a stab at it?
the principle of relying chiefly on experiment is indissolubly linked to the growing conviction that nature is the creation of an all-powerful God acting of his own free will. Why is (or isnÂ’t) this so? -

how come humanities proffy asking question that is seemingly related to science?Originally posted by ben1xy:better? -
If Science asks a question and has no answer, she has to ask Philosophy, which is in fact a discipline of Art.

oh yah! i remember, the conversation started on why there was a relationship with the immense economic growth of Protestant-based countries after the reformation period.Originally posted by Icemoon:how come humanities proffy asking question that is seemingly related to science?
then somehow it moved towards more theological, then religion vs science... then finally that question that the proffie asked. -

If they can read garbled logic in the Bible, I am sure they can identify with SIS when they call his logic garbled too.Originally posted by Icemoon:Haha .. theodicy is something you cannot avoid.
maybe he tried to package his argument in such a way nobody can understand . I suppose the laity (sp?) don't read his book during his time.
unlike now .. you write anything in EH pple like SIS can shoot you down immediately.
