No, I said that the belief should be discarded if it was in conflict with a scientific fact. A supernatural cause is not in conflict with scientific fact. I am sorry if you did not anticipate this and took my three sentences to be the sum total of all thoughts on the matter.
As I have explained, made up stuff is not in conflict with science, its fiction .... When you claim made up stuff is fact, it is then in conflict with science. Again science isn't in conflict with with myths and Woo it doesn't even recognize it.
If any one wants to offer myths and woo as fact its for the claimant to offer empirical evidence before its even considered .... there is zero proof for any supernatural event .... deal with that first
For the last time, evidence is not what is being discussed. Philosophy is the topic. Philosophy of Science and Philosophy of Religion.
