There are many truths which are simply outside the reach of the scientific method

No. Your wishful thinking isn't truth. Your God is a grownup Santa Claus.

That’s the best you’ve got? No logical empirical argument? No scientific conclusion? Just a poorly contrived insult? Pathetic.

I declared outright that there are many “truths” which are necessarily outside the reach of the scientific method ... including the existence or non-existence of God (among other things). Certainly that God either exists, or doesn’t, is a “truth”. Certainly what existed before time is a “truth”. Certainly the circumstances under which life was created constitutes a “truth”.

That these “truths” are entirely out of the reach of the scientific method is entirely indisputable. There is simply no way the scientific method can even speak to these truths one way or the other.

And the best retort your infinitely-capable mind can come up with is “Santa Claus”? Very clever.
