Downbeat: completely irrelevant. My response is to a line of thought that science is not based on assumptions.
No one here is claiming, "and therefore God". God has nothing to do with it; indeed, I included "God" in my non comprehensive list of axioms people must assume to be true in order for the world to function depending on their worldview. "God" is an assumption; it is an axiom one must accept in order for anything else to make sense. Just like the Big Bang. people assume it to be true and then prove everything else based on that assumption and other evidence.
But the initial assumption cannot be proven.
Epimethean: same response. No one here is claiming, "and therefore God". You persist in making things up simply to attack them. Attributing words to me simply so you can discredit them is intellectually dishonest.
