They told him to say I'm suffering from "guilt by association". Now try asking Joe what the hell that means. What guilt? Association with who?

This is evident in his book Mind and Cosmos. Read more here, here, and here.<br /><br />Nagel's rejection of materialism and evolution theory sounds very much like a typical religious view:<br />I find this view antecedently unbelievable — a heroic triumph of ideological theory over common sense. ... I would be willing to bet that the present right-thinking consensus will come to seem laughable in a generation or two. [Mind and Cosmos]<br /><br />that tell me more about you as a ideologue Haiti does Nagel there are no substantial argument your review, all the things you say announce to a ig argument from guilt by association, like creationists appeal to his book so h ehas to be wrong, you don't know what he said that they like.<br /><br />You are so ignorant of science and such an unscientific thinker you don't discuss a single principle he's wrong about, your whole argument is: if creationists like him he can't be scientific; that's not science that's a love letter to your ideology.Joseph Hinman (Metacrock)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957529748541493998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-221547022510742794.post-21530377277588028282017-05-24T21:54:21.177-07:002017-05-24T21:54:21.177-07:00comparing anagel to Chcikissheer stupdiity, taht j...comparing anagel to Chcikissheer stupdiity, taht just tome youarea moron, <br /><br />"Let's try a little experiment. The next time a theists espouses some Catholic belief, I should counter with "Well, Jack Chick disagrees with you, and he's a theist." How far do you think that argument would get me? Here's something theists might be interested to hear: Chick's beliefs have more in common with your theism than Nagel's have in common with my atheism. In fact, I'd venture to say that Nagel's beliefs have more in common with your theism than they have in common with my atheism."<br /><br />It's proof that you are merely brain washed because when you can't stand to really understand what you are opposing its pretty telling,Joseph Hinman (Metacrock)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957529748541493998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-221547022510742794.post-89218453074805332032017-05-24T21:51:36.946-07:002017-05-24T21:51:36.946-07:00you have not read Nagel, you do not know what hes ...you have not read Nagel, you do not know what hes ays,Your criticisms of him are nothing but regurgitation of things your cult leaders master shave told you to say,that is bust what it amounts to, you are just a dupe of a cult.

Nagel has found a comfortable niche for hims...Yes. Nagel has found a comfortable niche for himself in philosophy that, while describing himself an atheist, flirts bigtime, In his book Mind and Cosmos, that the emergence of life may be teleological, rather than materialist or mechanistic. But he equivocates on what this 'teleological purpose might be. Of course being an immaterialist and non-physicalist atheist, this is music to the ears of religionists as they battle an ever growing skeptical and unconvinced educated public who might otherwise think Nagel's perspective validates religious supernatural superstition. His central thesis, that neo-Darwinian principles that constitute today's working model of evolution, more particularly the research on consciousness is counterfactual to his notion of common sense. For me, it seems his common sense seems not all that common, given the reviews of his work across contemporary mainstream philosophy and science generally.Papalintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818630173726146048noreply@blogger.com
