That is, if your god exists, then one can devise a scientific method by which he could be proven, because things that exist leave evidence, and those things that don't are not only indistinguishable from things that don't exist, they are equally as ineffectual.
You, however, cry out "oh no, god's not a science thing, it's metaphysics!" as if that's a cover for your complete and utter, millenia long lack of evidence. It's you who claimed god is beyond the reach of science, not I: my initial post here explicitly stated my position.
I have never disputed that science addresses physical reality. I'm the one defending that here, but I'm glad to have you on board.
But then you contradict yourself in your second sentence. It's like you don't understand what we're talking about.
So which is it to be? Does science cover the physical only or also the metaphysical? You don't get to redefine god. Which is a shame because without that idea you'd be home dry. Damn reality for getting in the way huh!
As you're joining with the extraordinary claims, please explain how good should be explainable by science. All you have to do is provide a logically justifiable example. if what you claim is true, this should be a very simple exercise. I look forward to your answer.
