Yep.

And the right of Individuals to do so is one of the reasons why our founders wisely protected the 1st with the 2nd.

How does someone devise an experiment that proves or disproves that GOD exists?

Thanks for posting.

The left pro-science narrative is in fact anti-science.

Science is about how. Religion is about why. The latter is the higher pursuit.

It pisses me off that people defended his work by saying it was “just fiction”. It is NOT “pure fiction”. Something is “just fiction” if it is understood as purely fictional. But in the case of the “Di Vinci Code” it imitated historical fiction in which the reader expects the historical setting to be accurate although the reader understands that fictional particulars are added within that historical setting. The reader does not expect that foundational truths of history are altered...this contract was broken in “The DiVinci Code”. Thus it is not “pure fiction”. It is a lie.

“To me, the idea that physics could prove that the God of Abraham is not the creator and ruler of the world reflects a serious misunderstanding — of both the scientific method and the function of the biblical text.”

It’s refreshing to hear a scientist who doesn’t engage in the fallacy of “scientism” and properly understands epistemology.

Anyone remember the Celestine Prophecy novel from a few years back? Some believed it so much, it was often sold in the nonfiction isle of the book stores.

One who bought the DaVinci Code, hook, line, sinker was my worthless brother-in-law (If you know him he probably owes you money). He got all his info from TV “documentary” programs on the subject.
