Supernatural and Atheism

[Jehanne]

In my opinion, some things are facts, and therefore, are beyond any (reasonable) doubt.  As Isaac Asimov stated,



Isaac Asimov - The Skeptical Inquirer, Vol. 14 No. 1, Fall 1989

Scientific theory is only of value if it accurately predicts something otherwise unknown.     To say the theory is fact merely because it seems to have worked as well as can be expected upon what is already known doesn’t exactly guaranty  its on-going value.     Whether the theory would work as well in a new place where one previously have not looked can and should always be doubted and then tested.      To assert that just because a theory worked in all cases hitherto tested therefore it is an all encompassing fact everywhere else as well is frequently the beginning of folly.

That our World is approximately 4.5 billion years old is a fact; such will never change, and it is unreasonable, in my opinion, to conclude otherwise.
