There are no exceptions, it's a definition. Conclusions can only be drawn from the definition. By definition, if it had not been observed it did not exist. This is a very simple concept to grasp. Example. Confining the Universe to a solid box. There may or may not be a ball inside of the box. I don't know, I haven't yet observed it. Nor has anyone else. It does not exist. I open the box, ALAS! a ball! It does exist. Understand? This ties into quantum theory, if you're aware. Schrodinger's cat experiment. |
Okay, I can rewire my brain to understand existence as what you defined it as. It is not the word I use when I say "nothing disproves that God exists", it is not the same word as the one you use. The word I use does not imply that "no observation = no (?)existence(?)".
-> My question then would be, what is the term used to say it's there but we haven't observed it yet?
I've heard of Shrodinger's cat experiment, and read about it a while ago, do you think I should read more about it to understand better?
