Are the assumptions of science justified?

[The Pixie]

please read my article this will explain it all.

http://religiousapriori.blogspot.com/20 ... of-st.html
there is a tendency on the part of a ,lot of people to just assume their biases and so qssert people do x because it is their prejudice that one should do X. Ton of atheists with whom I have argued have just asserted religious experienced are different because they think since they are subjective they have to be different,But we need to test these assumptions,

I will read the article, but remember this is specifically about drawing bold and necessary predictions, and then testing those predictions. A quick search for "predict" finds "predictor" in terms of primitive man using intuition and also with regards to people erroneously seeing faces and agency, but nothing that would support your claims.

those studies are no different than any other social science research. Id any study on human behavior is scientific those are, They have the same potential for diverse outcomes as any notifier,l It' ludicrous to pretend there's no distinction between positive or negative outcomes from an experience. we could predict that rape has psychologically devastating results for it;s victims, Then test to see if rape victims demonstrate such effect,then you could say that predicts the fro both alternatives, but does it? psychological devastation,or getting over it are those the same?

take out "rape" and put in "mystical experience" the difference in remaining a heroine addict or getting off, re those the same?

You are fighting a straw man. The argument is not about whether mystical experiences can be/are beneficial, it is whether they come from God.

I assume you mean the claim that social science research makes predilections? that's because t;s so elementary they are not going to reiterate ab out it, if you can't understand that prediction is automatically included inductive methods then you don't even understand the basics of research.

In validating Stace Hood was predicting that their experiences conform to Stqaces theory
