The philosophy of mechanicalism, as you put it, was the connection of man to nature. Nature is mechanical. The aristotelian philosophy before this is what actually separated man from nature.

You keep mistakenly assuming Sam Harris is a member of booktalk. Or were you speaking in general(strawman) terms? You set up then attack straw men so often here ant that it must be trolling. Everyone else here can see it clear as day, as they've pointed out many times. What other websites are you visting or that get you all riled up against the evil scientism atheists that you feel the need to come here and vent?

We should try this whole cosmos discussion again, without an innocent comment being transmuted into rants against the onslaught of tyrannical scientism.
