Hare Krishna

[Mister Agenda]

This, is not a scientific statement. This is what you believe. I'm sure you really really sincerely believe it from the bottom of your heart, too. And I'm sure the gods of science really appreciate your faith and devotion.

I guess there is nothing new in theology, the Hare Krishnas sound just like the Pentecostals in the end: they know deep down that faith isn't a good reason to believe anything, and the only way they can level the field is to accuse you of also holding your belief on faith, even while typing on a computer screen made possible by what you believe in: testing ideas to destruction, the opposite of faith.

Great, so why not stick with that? Science can't talk about God. So why try?

Science can't talk about an unfalsifiable God, which is why all versions of God are now unfalsifiable. Same thing happened to leprechauns. And just because science doesn't have much to say about a God that can't be verifiably detected and never does anything that can be verifiably detected doesn't mean we can't talk about it philosophically. For instance, we might ask what good reason is there to believe that a God that can't be verifiably detected and never does anything that can be verifiably detected exists? And we might note in absence to a good answer for that question, it is reasonable to place God in the infinite category of things that can be imagined to exist but probably do not.

You're comparing apples and oranges, dude. More like apples with the source of you, me, your consciousness, your perceptions, your weights, your ideas about experiments and science and truth and everything. You want God to fit in your little hand, but He doesn't. You may be one of His experiments, He doesn't have to show up for any of yours.

If he exists, he's not just not showing up. He's hiding.
