Where do you believe that God has specified that, for example, some form of life won’t be found on say Europa.My apologies, I wrongly assumed you was non religious.
Yes I would reconsider my faith. But I trust the Lord 100% so know life will never be found outside our planet.
So why do people still die in hospitals?A doctor prescribes an antibiotic having already seen its actions on many patients and these actions of the drug are directly observable under microscope.
Many realities are not observable or measurable by scientific method. Example, silenceThe effects of Lazarus being raised from the dead are not observable or measurable by scientific method.
Ok, so people still succumb even when tested drugs with observable positive effects are administered. This explains why both the doctor and the patient have faith in the tested drug.Why do people die in hospitals? For many reasons. This question is vague.
So is the absence of sound waves real?Silence is the absence of sound waves.
There’s nothing supernatural about that.
Where are these words of God that says such a thing is not possible?Anyone who trusts Gods words (which is the Bible) would know Earth was created first. To believe life is on other planets is in conflict with Gods word.
May I ask how old you are, Noose?So is the absence of sound waves real?
Sure, you may ask.May I ask how old you are, Noose?
Do you have evidence of how the Big Bang happened by natural causes?No, that slight of hand does not change the fact that faith is hoping for something you have not seen before. The evidence of things unseen.
No to the first. Yes to the second, though the evidence is indicative, not complete.Do you have evidence of how the Big Bang happened by natural causes?
Do have evidence of how abiogenesis happened through natural causes?
And as I already addressed this point, the difference is the reasons for why it fails are observable by scientific method. We have naturalistic causes for why drugs and treatments are never 100% effective. It can be observed that a particular infection is resistant to a given antibiotic, for example.Ok, so people still succumb even when tested drugs with observable positive effects are administered. This explains why both the doctor and the patient have faith in the tested drug.
drugs and treatments are never 100% effective.
Doesn’t matter. The hope someone has when they take a tested drug that they will get cured is the same hope someone has when they pray. The effects might be observable in one case and not the other but the hope is same.Can you observe under a microscope a prayer for healing that didn’t get answered? No. And since the faith that undergirded that prayer is not measurable, but yet it is a requirement for a successful response, that remains a fundamental difference to a science based approach to recovery from disease.
But is silence an objective reality or is it imagined?If it’s observable, measurable, reviewable, testable
Yes it matters. You are confusing motivation with methodology. Faith and science-based medicine are different responses/ methodologies to the drive to live.Doesn’t matter.

Nope.Yes it matters. You are confusing motivation with methodology. Faith and science-based medicine are different responses/ methodologies to the drive to live.
No, you redefined silence but i would still ask, is the absence of sound a reality or is it imagined?I already explained that silence is the absence of sound waves.
So silence is measurable?!An absence of sound waves, such as in airless environments like space, is observable and measurable (zero waves). However you experience the phenomenon, that’s all it is.
No, I used the only definition of silence I’m familiar with. You may argue philosophical definitions to your heart’s content. But it doesn’t mean anything to me when it’s simply the absence of sound waves.No, you redefined silence but i would still ask, is the absence of sound a reality or is it imagined?
