I admire your attention to detail, but somehow I feel like this is legitimately possible. It just took all kinds of medical expertise, however misguided it may have been. -

Severed penises are not exactly my idea of a good time. -

Originally posted by GGG I've always likened it to discovering radiation. Doesn't mean it didn't exist before. There were symptoms and we looked, then science happened.
I imagine a god would come about in a similar fashion.
That is a wise way to look at it.
Symptoms of God's presence are not in short-supply. We just need a scientist with the right skill-set and tools/methodology to find the source of those symptoms. -

Maybe. I don't think I ever claim anything to the contrary.
Originally posted by PhD in Condom Mechanics Do you not understand how science works?
The theory is a model for explaining actual, empirical observations of behaviours in nature. That's the starting point, nobody just pulled QM out of their ass. Each correct prediction by a theory increases the likelihood of the theory being correct. QM is not any different.
We can't deductively prove anything, science is the realm of synthetic statements, we use statistics to bolster our confidence in theories; we can say through repeated experiments that we either have the right answer, or the alternative is that we are getting consistent results by luck on the order of winning the lottery 6 times in a row. If you want to cling to that alternative hypothesis then great, but the rest of us are fine with saying we have 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999% confidence in the explanation.
I don't think I've ever claimed to know reality with any greater precision than "99.9999999999999999999999999999999999%".
You might be mistaking me for someone else, or are just making wild assumptions for no good reason.
Originally posted by PhD in Condom Mechanics We observe actual effects in the world that are very accurately modelled as force carrier particles between interacting fields. It's not just made up out of someone's ass. Literally wtf are you babbling about?
And these scientific models have no basis in the history of philosophy?
All I was saying was that science has it's roots in philosophy.
What are you babbling about? -

Well, one could argue that he wasn't even all that far off, actually...
I mean, musical coherence holding it all together is kinda... beautiful, in it's own way. -

His answer is the universe and the world around you. You can choose to believe that it's all accident, the big bang just happened randomly and all that energy and elements have always been there.
I like to think the reason physics, time and space seem to function so well in tandem together is because they follow laws, and if you believe quantum univrse theory then there are an infinite combination of those laws existing at all times.
I believe God is a powerful extradimensional being that created all dimensions and has powers greater than any mortal can comprehend. It seems like a big mystery but it makes sense in a way if you just accept that you will never be able to truly comprehend how vast and complex reality is.
"God", in the sense of an all-powerful creator of the universe, could very-well exist, and that wouldn't conflict with my world-view.
But the anthropomorphic conception of God that most people hold to be reality, that's a whole other enchilada. -
