What one thing would disprove Christianity to you?
RE: What one thing would disprove Christianity to you?

That might be a fine practice in discovering how things work but science has never discovered a solution natural or supernatural why things work. Scientific laws are in the "why" category. Not only has a "why" never been found, but hundreds of philosophers have argued why it can never be found (it requires ending the chain of efficient causes as we know it--a logical fallacy). So why don't we move into the realm of philosophy for answers rather than holding out for the improbable?
So you propose an ultimate answer for the "why" question.... god, the immaterial conscious entity... which is a logical fallacy, if I read you right. Tongue

Why do people ask such questions as "why things work"?
Sometimes, although a question is correctly formulated, that doesn't mean that the question makes sense, nor that it has an answer.
A "why" question, as opposed to a "how" one, assumes some intent for the action... Intent requires some consciousness. How can there be such an intent if a consciousness is missing? If there's no intent, then the "why" question makes no sense.
