What if science is not the proper method for determining things outside of the physical universe? Then we have to think in a different way, right? Love is not something that can be studied appropriately with science, nor is Justice or beauty, right? So why don’t you admit that science has its limitations? Great for inventing nuclear power; bad for answering how the universe began.
Love can, and has been studied by science. It is caused by various chemicals in the brain. ( Interestingly, some of the same chemicals are found in chocolate). As for beauty, there is a fairly popular theory that beauty is based on the positions of your facial features relative to one another ( the golden ratio).
Science is an infinitely better way of studying the universe than just attributing it all to a magical being that contradicts itself.
Quote:There are lots of observations made of sub-atomic particles that we just can’t seem to figure out. We make up theories to do so. But those theories start becoming even more bizarre than the observations. Dark matter, dark energy, string theory, multiverses. And we don’t have to go to quantum mechanics for that; we still have no idea how one body of mass attracts another body of mass across the vacuum of space. So, we just accept gravity for what it is. We cannot understand how a person can have a dream and then see the elements of that dream upon waking (precognition). It happens all the time; it’s been happening forever, but all we can do from a scientific perspective is pretend it doesn’t happen.
Quantum theories beyond the standard model, are a lot like the Bible: You can find anything you are looking for in them. But logic is not defeated. It may appear something pops in and out of existence for no reason, but we know intuitively that’s not really possible.
All of these theories, however weird they may seem to you, are come to by the scientific method. Science has given us a lot more of worth than religion has. The very screen you are reading this on is a by product of experiments trying to find out about electrons.
Also, there are many theories as to why gravity exists, the most popular saying that it is caused by the exchange of sub-atomic particles called gravitons.
