Philosophy is a system of reasoning that is applied to Theology. Self correcting in that with more study and deeper reasoning prior mistakes get corrected. Like relativity correcting Newtonian laws. Einstein did that theoretically, with thought experiments. Lotsa new data. For example the considerations implied by the expanding universe (Lematre). You would say nothing new since Aristotle's day?
But we have new radiotelescopes, and even the Hubble adding data everyday.
And we are still conducting experiments to prove and refine Einstein's theories, and make them accepted as laws.
New data adds weight to one theory, and sometimes proves another to be wrong.
Philosophy and or religion have a bunch of guys sitting around refining opinions. But really, how do we know the opinion espoused today is any more valid than that of Plato, Socrates, or Pythagarus.
Where is the data?
Not long ago it was taught that God wanted those guilty of sodomy or incest stoned to death in the village square.
Today, we are taught God's love is all inclusive, sodomites are welcomed into the congregation.
There has been no new data added. No enlightening discoveries which negate the interpretations of just 300 years ago.
But the teachings change to refect prevalent attitudes of the population.
Is that correction? Or diversion?
I have posted on several threads the question; what if the Bible authors had a Hubble and someone to explain what they were looking at?
Even just a Hubble photo would have changed what they wrote.
