Well, on this fine Friday, a bit of humor. This video clip was inspired by a friend that emailed me, explaining (among other things) that he didn’t trouble himself about scientific evidences for evolutionary origins because he’s not an empiricist, and doesn’t want to live in a world defined by empiricism. So, evidence isn’t high on the priority list, because evidence-based knowledge is, well… a sort of take or leave thing.
I really wish that denying the empirical was a valid option; that would sure be convenient. This is entirely untenable, obviously: the Bible itself supports the validity of empirical knowledge in both Testaments, the message was being typed from an electronic device of wonder, logical premises require external validation, etc. But some positions just don’t deserve a deconstruction, not where humor can cut to the chase.
It reminded me so much of Brian Regan’s lampoon of politicians. Consider the video below, but substitute the words: “I’m sorry, I’m not taking evidence today.”
Cheers!
