If God is pure spirit, how would science know anything about him purely on the basis of scientific method?
So I point out that you can't just assert something and then demand that we prove you wrong, and your response is to assert the same thing and demand that I prove you wrong?
Edited to add: Incidentally Randy, even if I were to accept your claim outright, that god cannot be tested and is unfalsifiable, the conclusion would not be that therefore there is no need to provide testable, falsifiable evidence for god. It would be that there is no good reason to believe in god. "Evidence is not possible," is not the same as "no evidence is needed." You are describing a failure state, not a special category where success is assumed.
Is it possible that science is not the proper discipline for proving that God does or does not exist?
