You have been explaining to all of us for many months now. Thanks just the same. And why don't you think scientists should look for God? Imagine the fame and glory of any scientist that could actually prove God's existence. It would be way better than finding a bunch of old bones!

Yes, I've made that point lots of times. But theoretically it shouldn't be possible to detect God, if He exists. So why should a scientist try?

On the other hand, it should be very much in the interest of religion to prove the existence of God in a scientific manner. Why aren't they trying? Unless they're afraid of discovering that He is merely a figment of their faithful mind.

My own opinion is that most religious people understand fully that they're worshiping a nonentity, but they're to scared to find out the truth.

Concluding that God doesn't exist is mighty unsettling. I know from experience. It's just that I found it impossible to fool myself any longer.
