(5,763 posts)Purgatory, for instance, is also an old, well-established concept.
Only well-established for true believers. That is, if you accept the rest of the system, objectification is a snap, I'm sure.
Soft-sciences are full of debatable concepts, things that aren't scientifically established, or that are supported by fatally flawed studies or experiments, that, in fact, have all the the scientific validity of tarot cards. Accepting the concepts without question can be socially harmful. I point to Satanic Ritual Abuse as an example. There are others: such as the fact that the only Nobel Prize ever given for psychiatry was for the frontal lobotomy.
You simply can't put objectification next to evolution, gravitation or relativity. It's just not at that level of credibility.
Old does not equate to more valid. People believed the solar system was geocentric for 1500 years. To me, an old concept is medieval.
I didn't know my posts were difficult for you to read. I thank you for your patience, then. Sincerely.
