>>Most religions have not, in the main, been conclusively refuted
That's because most religions have as their central tenet a completely unfalsifiable claim: that there is a god.
- discoursism 9y agoThis is just what I said, but, yes, you are grasping the thrust of my comment.
- erikpukinskis 9y agoOne should remember that many unfalsifiable things are true. Zero falsified things are true (plus some false negative rate) Personally, I believe in God because it’s tautological. Saying there is a god is like saying half of children are above average. As soon as you reference a line in the universe, there is inevitably an ultimate point on it. Edit: I will add that I don’t think God is truly omnipotent. She is bound by the laws of physics, same as us, and will die with the universe. Perhaps sooner. But my article of faith is that she will long outlast me. If I’m wrong, and God dies on my watch, that’s a bridge I needn’t worry about til I get there.
