But that's up to the people and not for you to decide. And the truth in science of today might be the woowoo of tomorrow. You only have to look at the history of science to conclude that. If some discipline uses woowoo, it's science — Hillary
I don't need your SCIgod to know physics... The true gods already informed me about the stuff they used.. Sounds very attractive though, and the price is good! Better than the 4 dollar our friend Carroll asks to ask him a question of which you're not even sure of answer! I knew what I would choose for my money! :halo: — Hillary
Can you not distinguish between science that turns out to be wrong and complete woo woo that started off as woo woo and always will be woo woo? — universeness
You have invented a space in-between scientific hypotheses, which have been accepted as 'possible' within the scientific community and complete woo woo BS. Is this where your polytheism lives? — universeness
If you want to join the SCIgod chosen then don't blaspheme!

You are of the Orga and the Mathaphys.

Humans are flexible in their beliefs : If it "works", it doesn't matter if it's real. For example, the number "Zero" refers to that which does not exist. But the gap-filler symbol (0) of emptiness has been found to be very useful in higher math (higher than fingers & toes). Likewise, imaginary numbers are non-existent in any physical sense, yet again ivory tower mathematicians find them to be necessary or inevitable for their abstract purposes. Even Potential, as defined by Aristotle, is non-existent but powerful. Imagine the power of un-actualized Omnipotential.What I'd like to know is how a theist can retain belief in a nonphysical being (God) and still have a coherent definition of nonexistence. — Agent Smith
: Don't tell Hillary this as I think I can probably get a lifetime subscription out of him for the SCIgodians. I would normally only reveal this to my most trusted upper circle of the SCIgodian leadership structure but SCI has nothing to do with the word science.

Of course. But many scientists can't and will stick to the woo woo no matter what — Hillary
You mean the woo woo of many worlds? — Hillary
They can suck my eternal di... oops! :lol: — Hillary
And I don't wanna get lost in the dark eternally! — Hillary
What awaits me in that case? Eternal awareness in the light with a lot of input? — Hillary

Terrence Deacon has coined a new term for non-existence. He uses "absence" & "absential" to refer to a state that has not-yet been realized or actualized. It is especially apt for describing human intentions. His definition of causal non-existence does not specifically refer to a god, but you can see the resemblance in a deity who exists in some sense, but is not physically there or anywhere. — Gnomon
In the vast majority of those cases, the science community is correct but sometimes they are wrong — universeness
The multiverse theory is not woo woo, it has many advocates amongst established cosmologists — universeness
Careful sinner! Lest you shall reap the whirlwind and be damned by your own utterances. — universeness
Choose wisely Mr Physics man :death: — universeness
Any causal reference to the god posit as an original source for the Universe has so far, had no evidential support AT ALL except ancient and modern hearsay and the wishful thinking of humans who are simply terrified because they don't know why they are and they fear oblivion after death because they think they may be in some way, still aware of time passing. — universeness
But if the gods posit is posited after the scientific attempt has proven useless, inadequate, meaningless, without reason, and improvable just the same, the posit is justified. — Hillary
A defeatist viewpoint! We cant answer the big questions yet after much effort so let's just surrender to the woo woo god posit. No way! — universeness
The point is, I can answer that question. And the gods even helped me answering it! Pascal wagered, I am sure — Hillary
Give me one then! — Hillary
I already have, many times. A ToE based on String theory/Mtheory and the first cause was a mindless, meaningless spark that no longer has any existence. This is much more likely for me than your 6D manifold — universeness
Why the ToE of strings is more likely? If you understand it, it offers no clue to dark energy. — Hillary
Says you, from the distant fringes of the scientific community.String theory is a fantasy even worse than gods. — Hillary
From nowhere! Same as your fictitious god(s)Not to speak of a mindless spark. Where the hell did a mindless spark came from? — Hillary
