[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Science can’t prove or disprove God.

That’s mainstream philosophy of science, not religion.

Science studies natural phenomena.

God, by definition, is a metaphysical claim, not a testable object.

No scientific proof that God exists
No scientific proof that God does not exist
No experiment that can settle it either way

That’s because God is a metaphysical claim, not a physical object inside the universe that can be measured.

God definitely exists” → faith statement

God definitely does not exist” → also a belief statement

Both go beyond what can be proven.

The most intellectually honest positions acknowledge uncertainty.[/quote]

No.

“There is insufficient evidence to believe a god exists, so I do not believe one exists” is both factually correct and intellectually honest, yet it is absolute.[/quote]

That’s a valid personal conclusion from empirical standards, but calling it absolute about reality goes beyond what science can claim.

[b]Your statement is absolute about your belief, not about reality. It’s an honest agnostic-atheist position based on empirical standards, but science itself doesn’t adjudicate metaphysical existence claims—so it doesn’t “settle” the question either way.[/b][/quote]
