Scientific Method is useless in religion?

[Thief]

Just a note on chances. If something doesn't exist then it doesn't exist. It isn't about chances of one in a billion or one in 10^9999^9999. It either is or isn't. And such a thing isn't calculable in mathmatical probability.

if you're waiting for proof in this life....you'll bee waiting until the last hour

no photo, no fingerprint. no equation and no repeatable experiment

all you can do is think about it

I think the odds are good and favorable......a few will find their way out of this world

Odds are incalculable in the sense you are trying to use. Its a baseless argument.

so don't use math as a base.....
use your head

Did. Still isn't an argument with a basis in anything other than wishful thinking.

are you....your own handiwork?

and you think the complexity of your chemistry is an accident

I think I came about by the current scientific explanations. As they are based on evidence.

science does not yet understand the relationship of spirit and body

science does not yet understand the relationship of spirit and body

And religion/spiritualism has yet to understand literally anything. All we know is based in empirical study.

no intuition for you then

no intuition for you then

Intuition is instinctive judgement calls based off of gathered information. It isn't supernatural.

[McBell]

in matters of spirit.....

Lets cut the bull **** and get straight to meat, shall we?

In matters of spirit...
You can make up whatever nonsense you want.
And that is exactly what everyone who goes on about spirit does.
Sure they honestly believe their made up nonsense, but that does not stop it from being made up nonsense.

It is much likened to all the claims about god...
Sure people disagree, but just like with "spirit" there is no proving any of it.

so get out your science book and reassure yourself....

an object at rest will remain at rest

the universe did not 'self' create
it did not set it's self into motion

Sprit first

Of course, there's an Almighty...

...his name is Mighty Mouse!!!

Gee...he has passing resemblance to YmirGF.

You say "use your head," but that really only means try to use your reason. But you have no "reason," you only have what you want.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride, goes the old saying. And if wanting to live forever could make it happen, then we all would. Yet, so far as we've ever been able to tell so far, everybody born up until about 100 years ago has -- in very point of fact -- died. And we've heard nothing more from them since.

Using my head....

i didn't make up the laws of motion.....
and it stands to reason...
an object at rest will remain at rest.....until...
Someone moves it

As its name suggests it is useful in science only. It has not been designed for religion. Right? Please

It would depend upon the specific claims you wished to examine. If you are asserting that there is a god which interferes with reality, then you should be able to measure those actions. For instance, you can examine claims of faith healers, or of rates of prayer fulfillment, etc. measured against chance. It is interesting to note that faith healers never present actual medical documents before or after their "healing" to substantiate them...........
