Perhaps you misunderstand my earlier post. I'm saying that it is not scientific to postulate that God Exists, that the scientific approach would be that God does NOT exist, until such time as the evidence shows otherwise.
Ok, yes I believe I did misunderstand what you were originally getting at. I definitely agree with what you are stating here.

And as such, I assume you would therefore agree with the second part of my post where I said:

It seems to me that people tend to prefer to believe what they want to be real or true, despite evidence to the contrary.

When what you believe is refuted by evidence, you are faced with a choice.

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!
