Evidence-based Worldview

Postby Alex on 04 May 2009 11:31

I propose building our worldveiw by the method of Evidence-based Worldview.

There are many things we as human beings do not know.

For something we do not know, the appropriate position to take is "I do not know, go and find out".

For something we do not know, "faith" is an inappropriate position to take, although sometimes we are forced to take this position in some situations. "Faith" is just another word for firmly believing a guesswork.

Evidence is repeatable human experience. The criterion of repeatability excludes myths, miracle claims, and individual personal subjective experience.

The Evidence-based Worldview is the basis of Naturalism, Humanism, Agnosticism, Atheism, etc.



我提倡以「證據為本世界觀」的方法建構世界觀。

我們作為人,知識有限,有很多事物,我們是不知道的。

對不知道的事物,適當的立場是「我不知道,要找答案」。

對不知道的事物,「信心」是不適當的立場,雖然有時我們在某些情況下被逼採取這立場。「信心」只是確信一個猜測的代名詞。

「證據」指可以重複的人類經驗。「可重複性」這個標準,排除神話、神蹟聲稱、及個人主觀經驗。

「證據為本世界觀」是自然主義、人文主義、不可知論、無神論等的基礎。

We need new ways to talk about "belief" and "unbelief". We need a realistic and loving liberal religion that even an Atheist can love. ---Rev Brian Covell, www.thirdunitarianchurch.org
