"Here you reveal exactly what I 've just spoken of -- you assume that science and the scientific method equates to , is synonymous with , materialism/mechanism . It most certainly is not . Nor is the accompanying assumption , i.e. , that any science which does not strictly adhere to materialust/mechanist assumptions , is not , and can not be , real science . Equally untrue ."
"And here you reveal your prediliction for reading what you want to see into the words of others . I described materialism embracing new forces and phenomena which have withstood the rigors of the scientific method . I explicitly described science as a methodology , not a philosophy . You are wrong about me , WW , and the longer you pretend otherwise , the more time you 're going to waste on strawmen and the more chances I 'm going to get to make your arguments look silly . It 's up to you . Argue with me , or argue with the person you want me to be ."
