(January 1, 2010 at 1:33 am)TruthWorthy Wrote: Ok, the proposition (or supposition) of "god exists" doesn't fit into any of the criteria of theory evaluation listed here:

Empirical validity
Parsimony
Comprehensiveness
Internal consistency
Testability
Usefulness
Acceptability
(Liebert, M., Spiegler, M., 1994., On making scientific theoretical construct evaluations Personality: themes and perspectives(7th Ed.). Brooks/Cole: USA)
For the last time:

"God exists" is a statement (proposition) in logic.
"God exists" is not a scientific statement.
"God exists" is not a scientific theory.

Why you expect a statement that isn't scientific to adhere to criteria on scientific theoretical construct evaluations is completely beyond me.

It's like saying a "cat" cannot exist because it doesn't adhere to the rigorous standards of building regulations. Absurd.
