I���m helping out at CrossExamined Instructor Academy this weekend, and Frank Turek played this great two-minute clip from a discussion between William Lane Craig and Peter Atkins, wherein Craig lists five rational beliefs that can���t be scientifically proven:
Logical and mathematical truths ��� science
presupposes logic and math.
Metaphysical truths ��� e.g., the idea that the external world is real.
Ethical truths ��� e.g., you can't prove by science that the Nazis were wrong to experiment on Jews.
Aesthetic truths ��� beauty can���t be scientifically proven.
Science itself ��� science can���t be justified by the scientific method.
