The Null Hypothesis
#11
RE: The Null Hypothesis
The god hypothesis is a null hypothesis that has been around for at least 10.000 years (probably much longer) and it certainly deserves a prize for stickyness and morphing capabilities (sounds a lot nicer than its resemblance to rubberlike features, but boils down to the same). The reason for this stickyness being that the god hypothesis is not subjected to evidence based research but to the null hypothesis of epistemic methodology: belief. Nowadays every falsifiable aspect of god that ever used to be part of religious dogma has been erased.

Yes, gods do have their own evolutionary process, only gods with unfalsifiable definition have survived, it's called 'survival of the fuzziest'.
