Evidence that demands a verdict

[Ninurta]

MY decision (verdict) in the  matter means nothing at all in the long run, same as everyone else's.


this is a debate thread concerning an issue of scientific truth and what that truth points to

There is no scientific truth. Science does not deal in truth, that is the purview of philosophy. Science deals in observation, hypothesis,, more observation, theory, still more observation, and the potential for falsification. If a subject is not falsifiable, it is not within the realm of science. Religious matters are not subject to science, because they are neither verifiable, nor falsifiable, and do not lend themselves well to experimental repeatability. God does not say "ok, here's an experiment that anyone can do to verify - I'm open to poking, prodding, and will sit still for repeated experimentation".

Religious matters are matters of faith. When faith is verified, when it becomes objective fact (as opposed to subjective belief), then faith is utterly destroyed, as there is no longer any need for faith. Religion dies as soon as it is proven. There is no longer any need for religion, faith, or even salvation if it is a proven fact. Everyone then gets it, because none can deny it, and the work of Christ on the cross is brought to nought. There was no need for it if everyone can verify God for himself by simply mixing religion with science and doing a few experiments.

Is it your intent to destroy religion by verifying it as "fact" or "truth"? Do you mean to make your God falsifiable?
