Will God Survive Science

Quote: FrGamble

science is another way to arrive at truth even though it is limited to the observable and testable natural world in ways reason and philosophy are not.

There are philosophical truths? Really?
Name one. Not 10, or 6, name just
one. (we've done this before and you
failed miserably)

You must deal with incredibly ignorant
people a lot, you are always running
this silly game of saying nonsense
things and acting surprised when you
get challenged. Like 'science is another
way to arrive at truth" Science is the
ONLY way to truth, reason and philosophy
are too squishy and squashy to ever arrive
at anything concrete.

Science is the ONLY way to truth.

Quote: FrGamble

you claim that there is no God because you cannot prove it to be false.

Never said that, never thought that.
Why would I say there is no god
because I can't prove it to be false.
That makes zero sense, it's a
meaningless sentence. You have no
argument for your silly god and it's
obviously driving you nuts. Life is
tough when you have to back up
what you claim with evidence.

Opps, I meant to say that "you claim that there is no God because I cannot prove it to be false." Sorry about the confusion.

Do you deny that you say "there is no God because I cannot prove it to be true"? That might be a good place to start and it is something you have said numerous times. It is straight from the definition of argument from ignorance.

Life is tough when you have to back up what you claim with evidence, but it is what makes life worth living and the pursuit of truth so darn exciting!

That's not a philosophical truth. It's a
statement of fact. Just like last time,
you don't even know what philosophical
truth is. Has it ever occurred to you that
you're always confused because you deal
in nothing but smoke and mirrors? You
say nothing that can be nailed down, you
run and hide from real questions, and
obfuscate like crazy whenever possible.
The ignorant will think you're wise, the
intelligent will think you're wasting
their time with hot air.

Selling a religion has never been harder
than it is now. You can no longer shut
up the naysayers with threats and
violence. You must now depend on logic
and reason, and your Church is fresh
out of both. Always has been..

There's no evidence for a gods existence. You
have nothing to do with it.

Okay then, you say "there is no God because no one can prove there is." Does that pretty much sum up your atheism?

Bro, I can tell when you are getting upset, relax. All I'm saying is that if you claim science is the only way to truth you are making a non-scientific statement. How can you test the theory that only science can arrive at truth? What experiment will you run? What will you be observing? If you makes you feel any better the philosophical idea that gives rise to philosophical statements like you made is wrong.

Why do you always change my words?

"There is no evidence for a gods existence."

You got some evidence, produce it. And
I mean besides hearsay, or '3 billion people
can't be wrong'. Sure they can. Easily.

Not just theology, but it would be a tiresome exercise to have people claiming that something exists because I can't prove definitively that it doesn't.
