No you totaly misunderstand what falsifiability means. I am consistent its not my fault if you dont get it. Falsifiability doesnt apply to god. It doesnt mean that god doesnt exist because he is not falsifiable IT JUST MEANS ITS NOT SCIENTIFIC. Not everything that cant be falsified is wrong. Evolution for example CANT be practically falsified but is still right.

Now you say: " You said if something is unfalsifiable its not scientific"

Yes I said that and in 99% of all cases its true but if lot of things back up your theory it will be sooner or later regarded mainstream.

But even when there is no sign that your theory is right and its unfalsifiable it still doesnt mean its wrong. But scientists cant work with it because there is nothing to work on.

Religion didnt invent god its the same as saying the first human who used fire invented fire. Besides even tens of thousends of years ago humans buried their dead instead of leting them lie were they died. So long before there was any religion people had some sense of afterlife and probably god. God is a fundamental question. Everywere where there is intelligent life there is the question how did it all start.

To the article i could pick other ones but the point was the survey not the article. Scientists are less inclined to believe in god that doesnt mean they cant because it would be unscientific.

Lets recap falsifiability doesnt determin if something is wrong or right. Meaning something unfalsifiable can still be right. What it does determin is if scientists can work with it or not. Unless the concept is backed up by things that indicate its correct (like fossils). Even without indication a theory could still be right.

Thus scientist never say: "God is not real from a scientific standpoint" Because it would be stupid to say that there is nothing to back that claim up. And there never will be. Thus Scientists are allowed to believe in god without discrediting science.

Hopefully this was clear enough this time. I am practically saying the same thing over and over again. Besides do you think I dont know what I am talking about ? Do you think I would bring this stuff up when I am not sure that I am right ?
