Ever listened to a debate about whether God exists or not? Such debates are, more often than not, heated and quite quickly become emotive contests. I say, you can’t use your thoughts about the negative as proof that something doesn’t exist. A true scientist will never say there’s no God for at least four reasons: 1. No branch of advanced science studies the question “is there a God?” There’s no funding for that. Our “proofs” or “disproofs” are therefore mere speculations, no different from those of primeval man. 2. Science is niche-area oriented, meaning a physicist focuses on a narrow area of physics, a chemist on a narrow area of chemistry, and so on. There’s no time to a serious scientist to study that question during their career, measured in Earth years. 3. Science is largely empirical, meaning that it is driven experimentally, in the context of points 1 and 2 above. How then does one design an experiment to detect “God”?
