Mr JoeStalin 1,980 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 The OP says "nothing can exist outside the universe". Well there are so many things that science can't explain and who are you to decide that there is 'nothing outside the universe'. Link to post Share on other sites

Science acknowledges what it can't explain, rather than addressing it with a "goddidit" handwave. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

TDP992 80 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) Depends on the god claim. Some are falsifiable, some aren't. For example, the literalistic view of god the christian god? That's falsifiable. If the god you believed in had to have flooded the entire planet to wipe out all human life but one family and then ordered said family to repopulate the world via incest sex, then that god DOES NOT exist and cannot exist. The one thing I can say about unfalsefiable god claims though, is that because I can't prove anything, there's no rational reason to believe in one. Which leads up to where we currently stand. ALL god/supernatural claims thus fitting into one of 2 categories ONLY. 1 Claims that have been tested and shown to be false. 2 Claims that can't be tested and are therefore useless. There is no 3rd category of 'claims that have been tested and shown to be true. If there were, god would be taught in science class. Edited February 14 by TDP992 Link to post Share on other sites
