Believers & Unbelievers Are Idiots

Name: Anonymous 2008-06-29 0:30

Allow me to elaborate. It is completely impossible for anyone to really know if God exists or not. It is for this reason that anyone who claims that God does not exist is a complete idiot, and the same goes for those who claim God does exist. Atheists claim to be intellectually superior to religious people, but in reality, atheists are exactly the same as they are, only instead of having blind faith in the existence of a higher power, they have blind faith in the nonexistence of a higher power.

I think you misunderstand the term "unfalsifiable". Falsifiable means that the there is a hypothetical situation in which such a statement can be proven false, basically, a counter example to said statement. Yes in fact the statement

1+1 = 2

is falsafiable ! All you need to do is find any situation where

1 + 1 =/= 2

though this is basically impossible.

unfalsifiable is not the same thing as "always true". Unfalsifiable basically means "cannot be tested for truth value"

I can make pairs of things for all eternity as a way of testing 1 + 1 = 2, the point is that very fact that it is testable is what makes it falsifiable.

The concept of god is unfalsifiable by both scientific definition and religious definition. It is not a theory, it is not a hypothesis, it is dogma. By definiton, dogma is any idea considered to be always true, in no way falsifiable, not even hypothetically.

The religous idea of god is dogma, if you ask any religious person of great faith, they will tell you that you can never disprove god's existence, even hypothetically. Thus to a scientist, the concept of god is irrelevant
