Believe me, I've read enough of your posts to know how happy you are to remain incorrect.

Quote:My proposition is that artifacts of our reality suggests the existence of God(or more accurately a supernatural element). How does that proposition appeal to ignorance? It doesn't.
Saying "science can never explain this," certainly does appeal to ignorance.
Quote:It appeals to observations of quantum randomness. It appeals to the acceptance of a theorem which shows such observations cannot be explained by local physical hidden variables. We are not ignorant of either of these things.....both are accepted as facts of reality.
This, right there: "we can't explain it yet, therefore we never can," is top to bottom an argument from ignorance. And I guarantee you that no scientific conclusion worth its salt would make such a blanket generalization as "such observations cannot be explained," without adding the caveat that this doesn't mean "can never be explained," which is what you wanted us to take from this.
Hence, argument from ignorance.
