(8,040 posts)in the business of proving shit. That's math. You can say science is about collecting evidence to support hypothesis, or you can even say it's in the business of making observations on the natural world.
And the secret is it's ALL the natural world. It's just divided into things we have good evidence for and "know" and stuff we don't know yet. Despite the almost continual insistence by theists that god can not be proven (how the fuck do you even pretend to know that????) , there is nothing about the idea of god that makes it any more special than any other idea.
The only reason theists keep telling us we can't study god or "prove" god exists is because they can't accept that he/she/it doesn't exist. Something that big and all-encompassing? You'd think we would have at least some evidence if it's existence was real. But so far, most explanations are easier, simpler and make more sense without a god. And that's because god most likely doesn't exist anywhere but your brain.
