Scientific Knowledge? If there is no God?
#5
RE: Scientific Knowledge? If there is no God?
No science does not presuppose a god nor an ordered universe. It empirically gathers facts and organizes facts into theories which in turn allow predictions and applications of knowledge. All theories are tentative and falsifiable.

Science assumes a neutral stance to god and the supernatural, ie we will never be able to repeatably find the supernatural by definition. But this in turn has led to the development of philosophical naturalism which rejects the idea of god and the supernatural by inductive reasoning, in short the absence of evidence is enough evidence of absence.
