Maybe along with all the other research you've been doing, you might want to add how easy it is to fool the human mind and our senses.
Are you able to admit that it is possible that your personal experiences are probably not accurate?
Quote:Also, have we asked these scientists their opinion? I haven't personally, but from what I've heard, somewhere between 7 and 15% of NAS members believe in a personal god. I don't know about how many consider the possibility of ID beyond that.
Almost none believe in ID.
"according to a 2003 Cornell survey of leading scientists in the field of evolution, 87% deny existence of god, 88% disbelieve in life after death, and 90% reject idea that evolution directed toward “ultimate purpose.”
Quote:Nope, it's not. Forming a theory about a subject without firm evidence is exactly what we're doing. Not impossible at all.
What I was referring to as possibly impossible to speculate, is what evidence may be found in the future. Of course there will be new evidence in all scientific fields discovered in the future. How are we able to know what it will be?
None of what you are doing is 'forming a theory'. What you are doing is forming hypothesis, at best.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
