>>>Why do you assume God and/or supernatural is not testable? And every scientific inquiry must start with ideas. What is your definition of "nature"?

Prove me wrong. Show me a testable hypothesis about God, or ID, or creation science.

God and the supernatural are absolutely testable in my view. The problem is that every single known test produces results indistinguishable from those characteristic of a phenomenon which does not exist. So, rather than accept the self-evident, it's considered preferable to just pretend that God is not testable.

I am not a scientist. That is the point. Why can't scientists try to figure it out? Doesn't science try to find answers to questions?
