“Any notion not capable of being tested is not science”.
Over and over I see this assertion and never ever any offer as to why it holds true for somethings while things like
scientific study of prayer...
string theory...
multiverse theory...
global warming...
evolution/materialistic origins...
get a complete free pass.
Double standards anyone?
You can hypothesize...but with out a test to see if it is reality vs. wild speculation, it can not be distinguished from wild speculation.
Scientific study of prayer-if you assert that prayer heals disease, you can do a test of that, compared to alternative treatments, or even between Amoth-Sog and Cthulu. Alas, some tests leave you unable to reject the null hypothesis, and you end up learning nothing.
