Using science? How do we use science to test a transcendental subject?
That's the whole problem of your premise, it uses an inadequate method.
Hi Frodo. I've already answered these points. I reject your view that I'm using the scientific method to disprove god. Just induction from scientific endeavour in the natural world and deduction for a supposed supernatural realm. Where have I relied on science to refute the purely supernatural realm? All I said the supernatural realm cannot Logically contain the necessary type of energy to ensure omnipotence in the natural world. Also that the material world requires material energy for action. So which premise is wrong? If my reasonoing is flawed you should be able to point it out without saying the "whole thing is wrong?" And if you re-read my response I make the same point as you, that if I was purely relying on science the premise would have been really simple, ie god does not exist because the immaterial doesn't exist (which is also true) ;-) So you need to demonstrate where I am relying on science to disprove the supernatural. Alternatively you could sketch out how a supernatural being could dynamically act in our natural world.
