  Given that evidence, the priest came up with the theory.What evidence? Do you even know how science works? It goes theroy -----> evidence supporting theory, not evidence for supporting theory----->thoery.  WHich, by the way, has a hell of a lot more evidence than a "soul."You, dont understand the concept of soul. Soul cant be proven by science, because its the only non biological part of your body. But if you dont beleive in it, fine. I dont have to justify my beleif to everyone. Tell me, how is a soul not different than a unicorn? Can you disprove to me the existances of unicrons and faries and leprechauns? If they existed, we would have been able to see them on this planet, the simplest argument comes to my mind.

I thought you were talking this mathematically speaking. Mathematically speaking, thesim (beleif in a superior being, because only a superior being could have created something as complex and impressive as universe) is more likely to be correct than atheism, be that superior being God, or a deity of some other concept.



I don't want to get involved in all your arguments, but there are some points that need to be clarified becaue they are just plain wrong.

1. No, you can't have a scientific theory without some evidence, be it mathematical models or hard data.

It actually goes 1) Hypothesis to 2) Evidence supporting hypothesis to 3) Scientific theory.

Between step 2 & 3 is a lot of discussion, and usually some work from other groups, repeating experiments, critcisms, possible faults in the work, alternative explainations etc. before it can be considerred an accepted scientific theory.

2) Your argument about unicorns, fairys etc. is actually exactly what Vlad was talking about. You can't "observe" god either. Just because you haven't observed them doesn't mean you can disprove their existence otherwise the same could be said of god.

3) I'd like to see your mathematical calculations to show how theism is more correct than atheism. I personally wouldn't know where to start either way.
