That's just about semantics. By that definition you pretty much have to be agnostic about everything where there is no direct proof, including elves, Santa Claus, dinosaurs in Congo, alien abductions and the tooth fairy. I can state the world will disappear in 10 years and nobody should be able to refute my claim but has to stay agnostic until 10 years have passed.
I am sure believing in a god is even less consistent with the scientific method that atheism is.
- hota_mazi 8y agoAtheism is an answer to a question. It has exactly nothing to do with the scientific the method in much the same way that "What is your favorite ice cream?" has nothing to do with the scientific method. Belief in god, on the other hand, is making a claim, and as such, can be verified by the scientific method. It has been, actually, and belief in god is by definition disproven by the scientific method.
