Did Dawkins and Tyson say that and what are the implications.

The hypothesis of god can and has been tested.

Test 1.

Facts assigned to god, were they supernatural.

Begining of the world-Not supernatural.
The variety of animals-Not supernatural

(at this point I got bored but you can see my point)

OK explain how something can come into existence from nothing if that's natural explained by natural law. the points you put all extend from my first something so therefore can at best be seen as a natural extention of a supernatural cause.

We know perfectly well how the world formed and can see planet formation around other star systems.

Test 2

Claims for the time scales mentioned in the bible and so "divinely inspired"are widely inaccurate.

Not every Christian believes in taking the Bible in isolation as Word for Word written by God and literally correct in every place. For the majority of Christians the position is more complicated than that but still an Inspired collection of books.

So they ignore what the bible says ,the only thing that supposedly describes god coz they don't agree with some parts.
This does not make my critique any less valid.

Test 3

The efficacy of prayer.

Now this is an interesting one because it is the one area that god™ is supposed to still interact currently with the world.

So does prayer work......No it does not and it has been tested scientifically.

So can god be tested scientifically?
Yes.
Does the test show positive signs of god existence?
No.

the theology of prayer is much more complicated than the simplistic attempt at a supposed unbiased test. For a start they should have all been told they were being prayed for or none told in order to be a fair test. but the only test that matters for me is my own test and it works for me and from what i've seen upto 85% of Americans beleive it works for them

but if you want to look at the results in test then at least be like this guy who looking at a test that says the opposite to above doesn't just assume the test results are accurate and actually dissects it. If he an atheist unhappy that the result went for prayer was completely fair on your test I wonder would it even stand up for him.

In honesty if I were an Atheist I would not deny prayer works but rather ask why it works. There are plenty of "Natural explanations" around for why so accepting prayer works does not require you to beleive in GOD.

Prayer does not work dude.
