"If we can't observe them, then they're fundamentally meaningless as explanations."

I'll keep that in mind durring my next quantum mechanics discussion.

Here's a question for you then: what would this world be like if everyone who now "answers to a higher authority" suddenly *realized* they only had themselves to think of?



"It might exist, but we cannot, with any degree of
certainty, claim to "know" that it exists."

Empirical Philosophy! How ya doin'?

I probably should have made an addendum about having observable effects.

That depends. Are you suggesting that most people of faith are sociopaths? Moreover, isn't this just an appeal to the consequences -- a logical fallacy?
