In ‘The Three Body Problem’, we see a prominent scholar and professor being publicly beaten by the communist party for not denying God’s existence. He goes on to say that ‘Science hasn’t provided any definitive answer’. So I’m curious, <title>.

    A definitive answer is impossible unless God makes itself known. There is no evidence for god and thus no scientific answer. God is a belief, belief is not scientific.

            People can be tricked is a simpler explanation. Magicians have entire shows where they trick the perceptions of hundreds to thousands every night. Letters and witnesses could just as easily be justified as aliens rather than god.

            No idea what you mean about “alive cardiac tissue on catholic hosts”.

              back then, they didnt have 4k resolution footage, so letters and archeological and literary sources are the some of the best proof we can get.

              also, back then, ink, a writing station, a quill were expensive and it was extremely hard to forge writing

              and alive human cardiac tissue was found growing on hosts in a catholic church

                They’re proof that people believed a thing happened. Its not proof the thing happened. Im not saying the letters are forgery, simply they don’t suffice as proof. Why haven’t they showed up in 4k to make the non-believers shut up and save them from hell?

                Ddg tells me that catholic hosts refers to communion wafers. Are you saying that there’s cardiac tissue in communion? What source do you have for that claim? Can I genome sequence or clone Jesus then?
