Are you talking now PHILOSOPHY? I had written and published philosophy book after I discovered the real intelligence.In fact, I make no such accusation. At least one aspect of your definition of intelligence, I find intriguing. And also, I do not "know" that there is anything wrong with it; only that it seems to be incomplete. This too is not a problem. Science is always incomplete.
Are you familiar at all with a philosopher of science whose name is Karl Popper? He is very popular, particularly among the YEC. He has advanced the ideas of another philosopher (Hume) to propose that induction is not essential to science (which eliminates the use of most scientific instrumentation, and induction similar to the same induction from mathematics). While most scientists would insist that induction is essential, even critical, in order for science to advance, Popper instead proposes that the advancement of science is more analogous to the THEORY OF NATURAL SELECTION, which is to say, only theories that pass the most rigorous experiments and observations imaginable are retained as tested scientific fact.
But Popper is a 'philosopher of science', not a scientist. Nevertheless, both scientists and philosophers alike recognize that his demarcation of science from pseudoscience based on an analog of the theory of natural selection, is nothing less than a work of genius.
Even the best science we know will fail what I call "the 4-year old test of 'WHY?' after only a few layers. Pseudoscience will fail the 'WHY?' test much faster than science, because pseudoscience is not something you can scaffold or build on to investigate new science using the tools of old science. This breaks with both Popper and Hume, who were not scientists. I am. This is MY discovery. How do you like it so far? Do you follow?
You did not answer my question from the previous post: What is TRUTH? This is a test most philosophy, including yours, generally fails. Here too, there is no shame. Just answer it. It's not a trick question. What is it, or what do you believe it is?
Truth is reality.
Of course, I knew that science must be naturalistic but to say of natural selection is absurd.
Thus, if you agree that all science must deal with natural things, then, what principle does this natural thing exist? If natural thing is real, then, let us consider it X. Then, so that X could exist, what principle should any agent must use to let X to exist?
Answer me..
