god is actually a Philosophy term, a hypothesis.

it is very scientific.

scientists had found very difficult to explain the world. why the world exist? why are we here?"
Science/ Scientists have developed a very extensive explaination of the world and HOW it exists.

WHY is a personal choice for those that wish to philosophize. It has nothing to do with REALITY.

However any claims to an answer CAN be approached via the Scientific Method.

a "theory" of god is made to explain verything more easily
and since the concept of a 3rd party external agent, a GOD, violates Ockham's Razor, it can be tossed out easily.

Quote:
(just like other theories). everything seems to make sense w/ god.
NOTHING makes SENSE when you interject an external non-causal agent.

Quote:
science is made for us to understand the world better.
Science is used to not only UNDERSTAND, but even more importantly to PREDICT.

Quote:
while god is one of them that let us understand the world better.
Inserting a god into the equation STOPS all predictablity. It VIOLATES the very nature of Science.

Science helps us understand what will happen when a series of events/ causes are combined. Inserting a god requires ignoring ALL external causation with such nonsens as "god works in mysterious ways". Or any of the other garbage used to excuse events that happen contrary to wishes of those claiming a godly intervention.

Belief in a god requires the intentional rejection of Science and the Scientific Method.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
