Date: 2023-07-04 11:43 am (UTC)I have read all the "New Atheists" and others (I do like pop science, myself) in order to understand their worldview, but never could fully take it to heart, probably expressly for the second reason you list. The argument seems to go "science works, therefore your consciousness is an epiphenomenal construct and its contents are meaningless." Which seems like a heckuva jump.
Speaking of jumps, I have a great affection for Saint Michael Archangel, who is both the patron saint of my dad's birthplace in the old country and just generally cool.
