"We believe in science (the universe came into existence 13.7 billion years ago and if you can't re-create/test something it doesn't exist)."
Wouldn't there be a number of things that we know exist but that we cannot re-create?
- camuel 9y agoI think by "something" he means "phenomenon" and by "re-creating" he means "observing". So I think he is saying: if it is claimed that phenomenon X exists but there is no way to ever observe it for entity Y then X doesn't exists for Y. But I'm not sure, it's my interpretation. The write-up resonates with me but I can see it as a bit ambiguous and inviting many incompatible interpretations. Proper treatment of the subject in a book format would be great.
