Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76.
RE: Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76.
What's the point in saying something like "You need faith because God is unfalsifiable" and at the same time saying something like "Life and existence is evidence of God"? You don't need faith if you have evidence, and obviously life cannot be evidence of God, that's what it means for something to be unfalsfiable: Outside the realm of science. If life was evidence of God, science would be capable at least in principle of showing it. Science is all about our best understanding of the natural world. So if science can't show nature as evidence of God, then nothing can show nature as evidence of God. The whole point about God being outside of the natural world and science is that it's literally impossible to have evidence of him. Evidence is empirical, and literally anything that God could do to show that he exists can have a natural explanation. Hence my example of a superpowerful alien pretending to be God. The whole problem with belief in God is that it's literally believing in something that by definition there can be no empirical evidence of. As soon as a supernatural entity outside of nature shows up in nature... it shows itself naturally in a way that has natural explanations. As soon as something supernatural shows itself in nature, there's no way we can tell it's still supernatural.
