Debate:Is infinite regression ever valid as a form of reasoning, or acceptable as a way the universe works, or came to be? (view source)

On fallacies: The preeminent fallacy committed by typical science researchers today is the idea of methodological-naturalism, I.E., You can make no appeal to any causation beyond the boundaries of observable nature. That is implicitly a biased point-of-view, and is a fundamentally flawed agenda if the actual goal is the pursuit of truth no matter where it leads--ostensibly the sovereign goal of science research itself (I know, I know...I'm probably just a naive idealist :^). All other current reasoning errors in science and philosophy research stem from this basic issue.

:You have ignored my comments about infite regression applying to more than temporal explainations, and are not fully grasping the current scientific understanding on the topology of space/time, the origins of the universe, and the nature of causality. I don't think it's worth continuing a discussion on in-depth areas of science and philosophy without that understanding. [[User:Nematocyte|Nematocyte]] 11:22, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

Let us continue the discussion on whether the universe has an outside [[Does the universe include everything, or does something outside the universe exist?|here]]. I have already moved that content to the new debate topic. No offense meant, but a valid topic needs a forum of its own.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]] 11:43, 9 March 2007 (EST)
