Determinism is not a scientific viewpoint.
There is more to be said, So much more that I'm not sure where to start.

Originally posted by @apathistDo you mean determinism is not the only scientific viewpoint? Because as far as I can see it most certainly is a "scientific viewpoint". One that I use daily.

Originally posted by @kazetnagorraYikes! In a word, I'd say testable.
Define "scientific viewpoint."
Originally posted by @humyThat doesn't work, humy. If I said I don't accept horoscopes as scientific, you'd ask if anti-horoscopology would be scientific!
what does that mean?
And would it be true or false that
"Anti-determinism is not a scientific viewpoint"
and, if so, how so?
Originally posted by @apathistAbsolutely not, but scientists prefer the word stochastic.
Does science say that random events do not occur?

Science is about facts. Determinism is not a fact, it is an assumption.
What exactly do you use daily? Knowledge of cause and effect? Science is built on that.

Yes, the applied sciences depend on determinism to be useful. ...
Originally posted by @joe-shmoAdmit this please. You think chaos exists because of our ignorance. If we had enough information then the die roll is completely predictable.
...chaos....

Originally posted by @apathistNo, I wouldn't ask that. Determinism is a doctrine; horoscopes are not. Please don't be obtuse. Defined what you mean by "Determinism is not a scientific viewpoint" else, if not, you don't know what you are talking about.
That doesn't work, humy. If I said I don't accept horoscopes as scientific, you'd ask if anti-horoscopology would be scientific!
