How convenient that gods exist outside of physics and reality, and are unable to be observed with the senses. Unfalsifiable and invisible. People call that insanity until you slap the word "religious" in front of "belief".

This is literally the foundation of Science itself lol

oh no it's not real until we find it, until then we're not sure!

Non answers are not good enough for me
So you would have explained diseases as god's wrath in olden days because medical knowledge was limited?

Not having the answers is what drives us to find the answers. God is a copout and it's such arrogance that people can't just say " I don't know".

you dont seem to understand that most knowledge you have is predicated not on physics or the scientific method, but on assumptions about reality in the first place

you have no way of proving w/ a scientific experiment that you are not in The Matrix. And so many other things. Have you ever seen it?

Anyway, God is not the only concept or subject which has to be approached from another angle

Attributing things to God is not saying "we're not sure". I would criticize anyone who took an unsubstantiated scientific theory and lived their life as if it was fact.

You have no way to prove you are in the Matrix either. In fact, why would a creator even allow its creation to become aware of such? Could we even comprehend it?

If we're going to live as if anything might be true, then what even is truth? Everybody should just do whatever the hell they want since reality is arbitrary and a matter of faith.

Nothing has to be approached from a different angle. Cause and effect and experimentation are all we need. I don't make assumption unless you're going to say something really enlightened like "We assume we aren't going to trip and float into the sky everyday"

God cannot be proven or disproven. That's why it's called faith. I find it comical how people can argue and say believing in a god is "stupid" or they act like they can prove it's impossible such a thing exists. Such arrogance is just raw stupidity.

Faith makes the world better for a lot of people that believe, who are you to mock them? Again, it cannot be proven/disproven, believers have every right to have their views respected. As do non-believers. Period.

Personally I have pretty heavy faith, I've had crazy events unfold that are nearly impossible to be coincidence. Anecdotal proof at best, yes, I know.

Just 5 days ago you were posting about Hunter Bidens laptop and him being a pedo. Stop. You have a reputation.
The only reason you're even making that comparison is because it suits your style, you like starting things for no reason other than getting a kick out of it.

But it's ok, at the end of the day though, I honestly don't really care. That drama is beneath me. Tag me as whatever you want, it ultimately does not matter to me.

Unfalsifiable claims are faulty ones. God is faulty.

your entire worldview as you admitted is self contradictory

because you claim science is the only way to obtain knowledge, but then acknowledged you dont have any real knowledge despite science

so you should really rectify that before telling anyone else what is or isnt faulty

belief doesn't enter into the equation. the concept of a deity or deities as defined by pretty much every major religion which has existed is incongruous with our current scientific understanding of the universe, and has been for quite awhile now.

what exactly is incongruous w/ the modern views on God and how we understand the universe today?

"If science is so great, then prove we aren't in the Matrix" is not the gotcha you think it is. Conspiracy theories make lots of unfalsifiable claims. They aren't onto something because someone else says "I don't know". You don't just get to fill holes with whatever the heck you want because you're impatient and want your answers to be correct.

The contention was that the scientific method answers one category of questions but not all categories of questions. In other words Scientism is not an argument against people's beliefs.

I also made a positive case for god(s) in post #40

Everything can be explained with science and no, I'm not retracting the above. All I'm saying is an illogical belief isn't more valid just because it's nicer or more popular. I wake up every day and get along with believers. I just would be honest if I debated them. People do illogical things everyday and I'd go crazy trying to police it. My life experience has informed me there is a positive benefit to me and others by making that choice.

A floating God in the sky -- I can't solve that out for you because when I imagine God I don't imagine that kinda stuff

But I can imagine a burning bush though, maybe even a person inside a whales mouth -- that some guy walked on water? If he imbued some magical form of energy to do it I guess I can believe it

Like exactly what sorta proof am I supposed to have here?

There's nothing with a discernable will or requiring reverence. So for all practical purposes, absolutely no god. From a theoretical standpoint, it's silly to rule out the possibility but it's also impossible to prove a negative.
