Absent evidence I can replace 'God' in your statements above with The Man from Atlantis, Sasquatch, or the Easter Bunny and the argument remains the same. You give us absolutely no reason to accept your claim other than we can't prove it to be false. This is why some of us have been so adamant in labeling your claim 'an appeal to ignorance'.
The Man from Atlantis, Sasquatch, or the Easter Bunny, if they existed, would all qualify as hidden, local, physical variables. Consider this argument.
Premise 1. Quantum mechanics is true.
Premise 2. Bell's Theorem is true.
Premise 3. Many worlds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is false.
Premise 4. If our reality is dependent on a supernatural element, then we should observe events which cannot be explained scientifically.
Premise 5. We observe events for which it is virtually impossible to explain scientifically.
Conclusion: Therefore our reality is dependent on a supernatural element.
Where is the fallacy in this argument?
If our reality is dependent on a supernatural element, doesn't that make the God hypothesis more likely than it would have been otherwise?
1. Assumption
2. Assumption
3. Weak assumption
4. Meaningless sentence dependent upon undefined word. If the sentence had meaning, it would still be a mere hollow assertion.
5. Inability to explain it now does not mean it is not explicable in principle. This is the argument from ignorance.
Any more bullshit?
