I am amazed at how many high-calibre scientists are out to demonstrate that science disproves the existence of God. This amazes me because in general all science students learn at least a little bit of philosophy of science. One of the most basic principles in philosophy of science is that of falsifiability. A statement is falsifiable if there is an observation (either experimental or logical) that can demonstrate that the statement is false. For example, the statement “all cats are black” can easily be disproven by finding a cat that is not black. Similarly, the statement “parallel straight lines meet at some point” is false by definition. However, statements such as “this cat ought to be black” are unfalsifiable because it is impossible to demonstrate what something ought to be. Another example of an unfalsifiable statement is “if I had been born in Nigeria, I would be two meters tall”. These statements are unscientific because they are unfalsifiable. Science cannot tell us anything about them. It can neither prove them nor disprove them. However, an unfalsifiable statement may be true. For example, “mothers ought to love their children” is unfalsifiable and unscientific, but may be true nonetheless. The existence of God is unfalsifiable. Therefore, science cannot tell us anything about it. Claiming that this is not so is demonstrating a profound ignorance of what science is and is not. Please share your thoughts on the matter.
Sorry sir.. But you are wrong...
What you state here is called "Argument of ignorance"...
If that was the case.. every one who had an idea in his head would be considered as a developer of a scientific theory...
I cannot say: There are green monsters with 20 eyes in their forehead! I SAW ONE!
This will not make this statement true just because no one can prove it is false!
It will however can be stated as possible....
Now...
Lets talk a bit about possibility...
possibility is stating there is a chance of something to be true..
Incomes.. probability!
some one can be possible but not very probable.. like green monsters with 20 eyes...
but if i were to say.. i saw a Hugh crocodile with 3 eyes!!!
this claim even if not proven.. have a much higher probability to be true then a green monster with 20 eyes.
both claims are a possibility... but one of them is much more probable..
if i were to say "I Saw a Hugh crocodile"..
No one will doubt this statement.. because past knowledge and past evidence makes the probability of this statement very high!!!
yet it still doesn't mean its true!!!!
So yes...
we have two theories:
A big bang created the universe : its only a possibility! but with very high probability (based on enormous amount of evidence)
or
An Immortal, invisible all powerful intelligent being created the universe...
It is possible.. but the probability for that is close to 0! there is not even one small proof that makes this statement probability better!
Not even one!!!!
