Quote of the Day
On the other hand, the scientific method can’t disprove the “God hypothesis” because many points of Christian faith couldn’t possibly leave scientifically analyzable evidence even if true. For instance, if Jesus Christ truly rose from the dead and ascended into heaven, what kind of material evidence could a scientist reasonably ask for? By definition, there would be no body anyway! Unless and until we can go back in time with a video camera to chronicle the events of 30 AD, Science can neither verify nor falsify the point; it can only shrug and answer honestly, “I don’t know;” to claim “absence of evidence is evidence of absence” is to commit an ad ignorantiam fallacy, since we have no independent, objective grounds for presuming such claims false.
