Quote from: "Mental_Gear"Wait, sorry, disregard that. I misread Ant's post.
lol. I just find an argument about the existence of St Ajora more interesting than one about the existence of "god".
Also, religious protip:
Do not try to disprove a scientific theory in order to prove your belief. There are two problems with that:
1. Disproving that theory, or literally any scientific principle, doesn't make your belief any more true. That's a false dichotomy. There would still be more possibilities, including, but not limited to, the beliefs of other systems.
2. One of the main tenets of science is peer review. The whole scientific culture thrives on everyone trying to prove everyone else wrong, and when that fails, they go with the best answer until there's more information, at which point the new information is checked against all previous relevant knowledge (again). Ergo, if you've made science your enemy and go about trying to disprove it, you're merely making your opponent stronger. Don't cast haste on Wiegraf.
