(I have a side theory that many of those who prefer the debate over discourse model are from the hard sciences rather than such disciplines as history or anthropology which deal with all the variability that human populations bring to any data set!). There is no need for a god, no data for the existence of a god and in fact the addition of a god throws the whole system off. So by definition this reality set can have no god.
I don't understand. Hard sciences have to do with the world at present. God has to do with the origins/purpose of the universe. How does God's creating the hard sciences "throw the whole system off"?
