Prof. Richard Feynman Admits the Scientific Method is Formally Fallacious
LINK TO ORIGINAL VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Gu3gfe1hsQ In this video Drake demonstrates, out of the mouth of one of their own scientists, that the scientific method is all based upon the fallacy of induction, as the conclusion is never necessitated from the premises (and thus is always invalid), and also commits the formal fallacy of affirming the consequent (if A, then B. B, therefore A. If this is true, then that is true. That is true, therefore this is true. The problem is that B does not justify itself but you justified it with the assumption A as the only possible explanation when there could be another correct answer; assumption A being one possibility out of an infinite number, thus reducing your probability of knowledge to 0%), thus collapsing all of scientific inquiry or any materialist or atheist worldview. The proof for Yah's existence is that without Him one could not prove anything. Proof requires logic. Unless one can account for the laws of logic, the proof ends in an infinite regress of "how do you know that?" If you cannot account for the laws of logic (which are abstract, invariant, and universal), you cannot prove anything. Due to causality also being unable to be established outside of revelation (due to the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy, or "after this, therefore because of this"), this is proof of God by way of impossibility of the contrary and reduction ad absurdum (all other attempts at knowledge being impossible and reducing to the absurd), as for any knowledge to be possible it requires revelation from God and valid deduction (and thus necessitated conclusions) therefrom.
