What other cause do you have in mind? Also please read my reply to jamalrob.

But I've only applied scientific principles. Does this mean science too is flawed?
February 02, 2017 at 13:06
Thank you. No, the certainty in my proof is at par with the certainty of science. Not more and also, not less.
February 02, 2017 at 13:02
However I don't see how one can be justified in ignoring it for science but not in the case of god.
February 02, 2017 at 12:50
Thank you for taking the time to reply. My humble observation follows: The central two statements being discussed here are statements in deductive log...

February 02, 2017 at 12:33
Let me clear up the matter. My reasoning, in complete agreement with the scientific method, is as follows... If god exists there should be observable,...
February 02, 2017 at 12:31
''Measurable'' simply requires a unit of measurement and we can count how many people pray, how many times we pray, etc. ''Scientific'' means one must...
February 02, 2017 at 12:18
You're right BUT... One has to measure these, you say, properties. The only way you can do that is by observing effects of these properties on instrum...
February 02, 2017 at 12:09
Measurable effects of God: 1. How many people pray? 2. How many times do people pray? 3. How many people avoid a certain kind of food item? 4. How man...
February 02, 2017 at 09:13
Then you should agree that... Mass, volume, charge, velocity, etc. are evidence for the mere belief of electrons, protons, neutrons, in fact the whole...

Scientists used instruments to detect physical evidence of the ether. Had they found any, they would've affirmed the existence of ether. There's plent...

LIFE is a joke. Philosophy helps to understand the joke
February 02, 2017 at 08:18
Please consider the following very closely. 1. Sometime in the 1900's electromagnetism was discovered. The next question was the medium in which EM wa...

Hi. Can you please explain how you used math on this paradox. I can't find it. Only if you have the time ofcourse.
February 02, 2017 at 07:44
Well, you seem to say that there's an equivalence between ''god exists'' and ''god doesn't'' as evidenced by you claiming that a lack of god can also ...
February 02, 2017 at 07:09
How do you provide evidence for the existence of something?
February 02, 2017 at 06:01
OK. Thanks
February 02, 2017 at 05:58
Kindly provide me your method of proving that something exists or not.
February 02, 2017 at 05:14
Then please tell me in what way one could provide evidence/proof that an entity exists?
February 02, 2017 at 05:06
Perhaps justice is more than just a redressal mechanism in the sense that it involves more than the individuals concerned. We have to also factor in t...

Although I understand (to a certain extent) why vengeance is immoral I still can't shake off my intuition that it is actually a very fair scheme.
February 02, 2017 at 04:53
Please read my replies to the other members
February 02, 2017 at 03:11
You're right. Well, since my reasoning is unmistakably scientific do you agree with me that science is not entirely correct in its methods and princip...
February 02, 2017 at 03:10
My position, repeating for the nth time, is that my reasoning is based firmly on the scientific principle that existence is a function of observable e...
February 02, 2017 at 03:07
Thanks for your informative post. But how do you explain the move away from the principle an eye for an eye (as modern justice has)? Is there somethin...
February 02, 2017 at 02:33
Find replace all instances of ''proof'' with ''evidence''. My post still makes sense. A single or even many, excepting ALL, cannot provide evidence (y...
February 01, 2017 at 13:50
My humble opinion on the matter. My logic is a bit rusty so bear with me These two logically equivalent statements are UNIVERSAL statements meaning th...
February 01, 2017 at 11:53
Ask this question to science. I'm simply following the scientific principle that for something to exist it must have observable effects. In addition t...
February 01, 2017 at 11:30
Good point. Thanks. However it follows that you also accept, given your stance, that atoms, chemical reactions, physical laws are also simply beliefs
February 01, 2017 at 11:18
Thank you very much for the clear response. I guess I've been sloppy with my terms. However, it's not a fatal flaw in my argument.
February 01, 2017 at 11:02
please read my reply to Chany
February 01, 2017 at 10:59
I'm simply adhering to a scientific principle viz. existence is a function of observable effects. To repeat, a stone exists by virtue of its effects o...
February 01, 2017 at 10:57
Briefly, my point is the application of the scientific principle on existence when applied to god leads us, clearly, to affirm god's existence. We can...
January 23, 2017 at 16:21
I'm not claiming anything. Science makes the claim that for something to exist its effects must be detectable, measurable and clearly god(s) does have...
January 23, 2017 at 16:16
What do you do with empirical claims?
January 23, 2017 at 16:04
Ether or better I declare the existence of a particle ''foolon'' that has no mass, no charge and cannot be detected by any known scientific instrument...
January 23, 2017 at 16:03
Where's the error?
January 23, 2017 at 15:44
:) Where's the error in my reasoning?
January 23, 2017 at 15:43
All of them. I'm not a mathematician but to speak mathematically if there's no problem with the soundness of the main theorem I care not for the corol...
January 23, 2017 at 14:57
Let me try to explain. I can't do it better than this so please try to understand my point of view. People observed the universe and all its wonders. ...
January 23, 2017 at 14:21
Your argument sounds very similar to Chany's. However, as I presented my argument we've already moved beyond the hypotheses construction phase. To cla...
January 23, 2017 at 13:51
How does it matter?
January 23, 2017 at 13:13
I take a stone, weigh it and measure its dimensions or throw it at a window. There is an effect - the scale moves, the window shatters. I don't need a...
January 23, 2017 at 12:58
I'm giving you all scientific proof of God(s) existence.
January 23, 2017 at 11:52
Can you explain yourself? Your last post seems to suggest that there's no hope for us and we'redoomed toconfusion. Yet in the quote above you say we o...
January 23, 2017 at 09:52
I may be wrong but it appears to me that scientific objectivity rests on multiple experiments showing the same result. This is puzzling. Each experime...
January 23, 2017 at 09:30
Thanks. I had a good laugh. However, despite how funny the cartoon is I couldn't help but feel both sad and scared at 1. The obvious cruelty of god in...
January 23, 2017 at 09:10
I agree. Justice makes no sense outside of a social context. However...a teleological question arises. What difference (teleologically) is there betwe...
January 23, 2017 at 07:27
In that case, we could all be living in our idiosynratic private ''worlds'' - completely different from each other. In this case how do we find common...
