It is a belief not an absolute, it cannot be tested. If it can, please show me how.
Your statement is itself an absolute.
What do you mean by "absolute"? Seriously. I think we must all be using the terms very differently. I would have thought many "absolutes" could not be tested, while my experience and study of the natural sciences leads me to conclude that every statement made has an implied "as far as we now know" attached to it -- which to me means it is very UNabsolute and provisional.
Do you mean to say it can't be tested BECAUSE it is a belief? Golly, we're going to have to find another forum to keep this conversation going!
Tell me this: Do you think you are RIGHT in believing that there are absolutes in the natural sciences. Does being right matter somehow? Do you think we theists are wrong when we say the things we do and do you think (or believe) our being wrong matters?
And if you hold that it does matter to be right or wrong, is that a belief or an absolute? It seems to me, that many of the most important things have to be believed and cannot be known the way we "know" say Newton's First Law. That my child loves me and that it is desperately important that she love me seems to me to be a good bet, but unknowable.
