You are of course correct. My ancedotal evidence of God's existance is based upon my belief. It does not prove nor does it disprove God's Existance to anyone besides myself.Originally Posted by Haruchai

To support Redleg, I should point you, Quietus, to an axiom long held by scientists:
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
In scientific terms, the existence of God is a hypothesis. We have no testable evidence that He exists, nor do we have any that He does not. Because we cannot disprove the hypothesis, it remains a valid, if scientifically useless, idea - an unproven and currently unprovable hypothesis.
Once again, religionists would do better not to try to apply logic and scientific method to 'prove' their faith, and scientists should leave off trying to 'disprove' people's beliefs. The realms of thought use different parameters.
O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean
