How have you determined which questions science can’t answer? You have a crystal ball on hand?

What's the hurry?
Well, considering the hubris with which you condemn atheists for not being persuaded by them, I guess I assumed you had more of a handle, lol. So, if you aren’t sure you have them right, then you have no right to accuse atheists of being closed-minded when we say we aren’t convinced by them. Right?
Quote:Why should we take these arguments seriously if their premises rely on the empirical observations you said we couldn’t use to investigate god?
Quote:The premises may be reliable but not in themselves point to a God. The extrapolations from those premises may or may not point to a God, depending on if you find the argument persuasive or not.
No. That’s not what I asked. You asserted that empirical data could not be used to investigate god claims. Yet, most logical arguments for god rely on premises involving empirical observations about the universe. So...? Lol
Quote:What is this reliable, alternative method to science, of investigating god-claims, and how you know it’s reliable?
Quote:Traditionally, philosophers use logic based on premises that we are likely to agree on. I'm not sure if it's reliable or not. You seem to be sure it's not a reliable.
See above. Please and thank you. Why are you scared of stating your belief? You realize it’s obvious to everyone, right?
