As a peice of objective evidence of a god/s existence you would have thought this experiment was right up there. It is certainly superior to any of the subjective experiences we are told about on here every day.
This is a very OLD experiment (some 20 years or more) if I am not mistaken.
So where does that leave us, where these pathetic arguments from personal expereince always leave us. As soon as this hide and seek god has the lens of science is overlaid; there is an awkward silence, zip, nothing at all, empty heavens. We are then told that we cannot detect the supernatural, which not only presupposes a supernatural but also is demonstrabely false as miracles apparently occur daily...as they only effect the natural world they are detectable by science using natural methods. Only when tested they turn out to be....unsurprisingly nothing unusal, stunts, frauds, wish thinking. But the chrsitian who cuts his finger on a tin of cat food and prays for the pain to go away, still thinks it was god when the pain goes away. I wonder what the poor ba$tards who die every day in natural disasters and are equally devout think...oh no wait they are the lucky ones aren't they...?
