"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"
Qualia is another name for soul.
Subconscious is another name for god.
Scientists can’t measure qualia or the subconscious so they deny them.

Science, physics, or physicalism is a philosophy or faith where you believe everything is physical including mind and subconscious.
Some counter philosophies are Dualism, Subjectivism, Solipsism, and Empiricism as opposed to Rationalism.

Things that can be observed (and tested) to manifest in reality, do not require faith.
There is a difference between methodological naturalism and philosophical naturalism.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

science ignores the soul, because they want an answer(and if god exists...It is on mute). You can only test how diluded religious people seem.. and how stupid their books are.
I hate the bible. I love that do as thy whilst stuff.

Oh, great. Another one whose religion is just one big equivocation.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I can use Google too. However, one must know what these terms actually mean before you make yourself look stupid.
