Religion/god is just wishful thinking.

Well, that's sort of my point. It's a combination of many things, but in the end it comes down to presupposition; you believe god exists, and so you're willing to see signs of his existence where there are none. It's confirmation bias; there's no objective evidence, just "we know god exists in belief."

And, as I pointed out, the difference is that the things involved in science are demonstrable. Your god is not.

Quote:I never referred to a person who's written an autobiography as trying to teach existence, existence is assumed. I said that the person is telling others who he is. What is hideously malformed is your thought process, thinking you can turn around what I've stated into what you want it to read.

My whole issue was pointing out that your knowledge of god comes from nothing but your own preconceived biases, while these other things do not. Seriously, how are you not getting this?

Quote:I did not say anything about existence that is assumed, I said received knowledge from to learn about what the thing might be or how it functions. You seem to have the same problem Esquilax does.
As for those scientist they presupposed dark matter exists in order to study it, as a matter of fact they still do, presuppose dark matter.

Can you demonstrate that your knowledge of god corresponds to something real? Yeah, I thought not...
