Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.
RE: Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.
I've heard some people say they want to "test their faith", but then their idea of a test is requesting we disprove an unfalsifiable proposition. So they have made themselves feel better that there is some way they could be "proved wrong", without having to worry about it actually being possible. This displays either a lack of understanding of how claims work, or ruthless dishonesty. The more times the first option is explained, the less reason I have to think that is the problem.

So I'll say again, a claim is worthless unless there is some actual way it can be reasonably demonstrated to be wrong. Otherwise, it is just mere unsupported speculation. If it can't be demonstrated to be wrong, it also cannot be demonstrated to be right, since the direct opposite claim is also unfalsifiable. So by admission, the person making the claim is making an arbitrary choice. It's nothing more than a guess on a multiple choice paper. And just because it's a guess, that does not mean it is 50/50. Just because we don't know if something is true or not, it does not mean it's as likely as not to be true. For example, I just rolled a die. Did I get a 6? You don't know if I got a six, do its 50/50 right? What's that? We use what we know about the world to assign probabilities? There you go.
