Reply To: What is Mechanism (Philosophy)?

[peter]

Newtonian mechanics make way for relativity. Gravity waves are a natural phenomenon which are not subject to Newtonian rules. The second definition works, as far as it goes. Ultimately, all biological processes can be taken down to the first subatomic level, including memory and religious rapture, recently brain-mapped. Neither of which preclude the possibility of a SUPERnatural overseer or two, which by definition are outside the scope of science, which only studies natural phenomena. The a priori argument for the existance of God is independent of mechanistic theory.
