Now come on. I was just following your rules.
You gutted my argument and only chose the pieces to which you wanted to respond. That's no way to proceed. I'm still waiting for you to respond to my...

You misunderstand the point. The point is not that the scientific method is unreliable. It's clearly reliable. There is no reason that a theist would need to argue that point. It's not like science...

I already answered this point for you previously. But you chose to concentrate on misquoting me rather than attempting to engage with my response.

I have not sought to divorce logic and mathematics from the process of scientific inquiry and discovery. At any point.
Here's one. We only know about the big bang because of theoretical physics...

Nope, I'm not limiting the scientific method to observation. With that red herring that you invented out of the way, perhaps you'll have a go at just answering the original question.

Right, but think about it the other way. Without the empirical observation it isn't the naturalistic scientific method.

So he paraphrased me correctly apart from the bit where he didn't?
It's a bullshit misquote. It's presented as what I said. And it isn't what I said

It simply was a misquote. No amount of misdirection on your part can change that. You attributed words to me (you wrote thomastwo:) that I did not use. Misquote.

Well natural science is based on empiricism. Read Popper or any text book on the philosophy of science. An unnatural science would be based on rationalism. Like math and logic.

Are you sure you stand corrected? Let me know if you mean "a field of knowledge" when you say science or if you mean natural science.
And frankly you weren't called on an assertion. What happened is...

I think the word science is pretty self-explanatory. Or look in a dictionary if you don't know. Do you know what I mean by "dictionary"?
