I wrote it out to you earlier today . . .

No you didn't. I've been waiting in vain to see you scientifically test your claim that "science can only observe natural phenomena." All you've done is reassert your belief over and over again as if it is "fact." If you cannot test this claim, then it is scientifically useless.

The statement "science can only observe natural phenomena" is a philosphical one. It is one you adopt, and one you think should be enforced by law in public schools.

How can one investigate God?

By doing science.

"No you didn't."

Yes I did:(post 473)

"No it isn't. It's a fact. It's tested every time someone tries to introduce a non-natural, non-observable subject into science. Since these subjects can't be tested, and testing is a fundamental part of what science is, the proposition that science can only observe natural phenomena is supported each time this happens."



"I've been waiting in vain to see you scientifically test your claim that "science can only observe natural phenomena."

It's not a scientific test, it's a metaphysical reality. Science doesn't deal with the untestable subjects in the same way that theology doesn't deal with microbial reproduction.


'How can one investigate God'

"By doing science."

That's the gay jeans argument yet again. If that's the best you have, you have nothing.

Now again:

How do you investigate God? Be specific.
