(May 15, 2023 at 2:47 pm)Kingpin Wrote: No just that science in and of itself does not lead one to a worldview one way or another.  Some are theists, others atheist, agnostic etc.  Science and theism don't compete unlike Stephen Hawking's view that one must choose between science and God.

Science contradicts much of the theist worldview - so much so that any god must hide in the gaps of our knowledge.

A scientist can be a theist one of two ways
  1. Massive cognitive dissonance
  2. Creating an unfalsifiable version of God.
The first is a form of insanity IMO, and unfalsifiable theories have no predictive value.  Well I guess the pragmatic value is psychological -- a hope of heaven, despite no evidence for it.
