From the National Academy of Science...A hypothesis is a possible answer to a question about something that is observed. Scientists will determine if a hypothesis is accurate by comparing it to observations relevant to the question asked. If the observations and the hypothesis conflict, the hypothesis is rejected.


You cannot make observations about something supernatural or not based in reality. Therefore, you cannot inject religion, or the hand of a god, into a scientific observation.

The complexity of lifes processes are observed and explained with greater clarity and understanding every day, including the structure and action/interactions of proteins. A god never enters into the equation.

Religion lives outside the boundry of reality. It is fiction.

Nice to see you are starting to understand the scientific method. I don't think it is accurate to say religion is fiction because it lives outside the boundary of reality. All you are saying is it lives outside the boundary of reality.

But what is your definition of reality? Again from Wickipedia: Reality in everyday usage means "everything that exists". The term reality, in its widest sense, includes everything that is, whether it is observable, comprehensible, or self-contradictory by science, philosophy, or any other system of analysis. Reality in this sense may include both being and nothingness, whereas existence is often restricted to being (compare with nature).

I don't think God is bounded by anything. But that doesn't tell me he is fiction. It tells me He is omnipotent. Is there any scientific proof? Not any that I am aware of. If you have scientific proof God is omnipotent, then faith is removed.
