""Does that mean you have faith that there is a god, and I have faith that there is no god, so we both have faith and therefore we are both right?""

Thats a straw man argument, and you know it. Both of us are equally entitled to our beliefs. That does not make either, neither, or both of our beliefs true.

My point was, and still is, that since we cannot KNOW that there is or is not a God, it is by definition UNSCIENTIFIC to flatly state that either is the truth.

So for scientists to say "There is no God", is to throw away all the scientific principles on which they base their claim to knowledge.

Equally, all I am entitled to say is "I believe there is a God". To go further would again be unscientific.


There is not, and cannot be, any objectively verifiable evidence either way.
