Sure, you can make claims, but that's not a scientific claim. It's wrong with respect to the facts. The universe isn't you shaped, you're universe shaped. Are you trying to convince these people that it's not possible for a religious belief to be supported by scientific facts?
What do you need this to be true to contend about the sacred, about what's set apart and forbidden? Let's start there? I bet there's a way to establish that without making a counterfactual statement your only premise.
Dude, these are claims made using science. They can’t be proven. So basically you don’t want anybody to make claims using science. Fair enough.
That’s not how science works - NO scientific statements are ever proved. Proofs are restricted to mathematics and logical arguments.
