In a nutshell, my concerns are:
- The assumption of materialism/physicalism.
- That scientific inquiry includes such things as the economic law of supply and demand, for example.
- That the subjective experience of consciousness is merely an illusion, or merely the process and functioning of the neural network of the brain, or merely an emergent property.
- That a spirit being simply can't interact with the physical. Yes it can, there is a way.
- That things showing purpose (teleonomy and teleology) in fact, have only the illusion of purpose.
- Whether information embedded in physical systems require a non-physical source.
- That the universe just is, for no reason.
- That any biological systems can arise randomly. It is merely assumed they do.
