What do scientists say about existence?
#11
RE: What do scientists say about existence?
The simple truth is that the Universe is incomprehensible, maybe infinitely so. There's plenty of room for God, or a billion Gods.

But science isn't so much about what philosophically COULD be as about what is apparently so. It is apparent that there are planets, gravity, QM particles, etc., and not so apparent that there is a creative God.

Are there magical unicorns pulling the strings of our solar system from another dimension? Could be-- but unless there are observations we can make that make the idea of them important to us, there's not much point worrying about them.
