Claim, posit, however you establish a position. Lets not argue semantics.



This is my whole point, really. If there is something that is a real entity in existence, that comes anywhere near the definition most people have for "god", and there is evidence for it, will "scientists" accept it?

The answer is of course. There are many deistic scientists. However, picking a world view that matches your inclinations is at the same time so normal, and so hypocritical. Humans are NOT logical. We are emotional and subjective. Then we find a world view that supports it. That doesn't make it, true, though.

If we are looking for truth, we should keep an open mind. An open mind doesn't mean being ready to overthrow traditional opinions, it means being ready to overthrow traditional opnions, fringe opinions, any opinions. Maybe an open mind means being able to see the validity in a traditional opinion, or see a "traditional" opinion in a different way. It should mean evaluating an issue in a way that considers all relevant information.

I was an atheist until God made itself known to me.
