Why atheism always has a burden of proof
|
So... yay, I guess god is a scientifically provable hypothesis in the end. So, where's them peer reviewed studies that reveal this?

No because God can't be physically observed therefore you can't physically detect or test his existence via the scientific method. It seems to be difficult to get this point across but that's how it is. You can't have a burden of proof for something that can't by it's nature ever be proven.

You can't be fucking serious?!? Speaking in tongues?!?! Absolute nonsense. Its been proven that it is bs. They use different sounds and words to mean the same things and then you ask them to repeat what they said and they use different sounds to mean the same things. And there are some people that claim it is a language lol

Though you can also see it as a prayer technique, you'll scramble your routine brain circuity/functioning and alter your conscious state in a meditative form which will bring you into a state of greater awareness of Gods presence. But the language itself is essentially gibberish I'll agree with you on that point, there's no real structure to it.

I already posted the picture of it, that's all you can do scientifically.

All those pictures show is what part of the brain is most active when they are speaking in tongues. That is not proof of an altered state of consciousness

That is not proof of an altered state of consciousness It's proof that whatever they're doing is having a physical observable effect of some kind. It's not proof of a heightened awareness of God as that's beyond what science can study.
