Like stuff about god and the universe. If you can't confirm or deny something, should it be discarded?

In the year 500, people thought you could never answer questions like "what causes disease," "how do birds fly," "how does the sun revolve around the earth," etc.
Today these questions are easily answered.
If we stop asking questions that we feel are impossible to answer, we will never know the answers to them.

No, just because you can't confirm it doesn't mean you should discard it. That would be humanity being a little arrogant, I think. I think it is good to discuss things we can't answer. It helps us to know that we are not the only ones who feel that way and it helps to know that others are seeking the same things as we do.

NO!
If Einstein had thought this way he would have never discovered the theory of relativity. As a matter of fact we would have never made ANY scientific advances EVER!
Who says the existence of God can neither be scientifically confirmed or denied?! Maybe we just haven't progressed to that point scientifically. It's no reason to stop trying.

It's not useless. Everyone should form some sort of beliefs. I think the mysteries of life intrigue us all and it's fun trying to answer them, and here arguments for other answers.

No. Philosophy and religion are great subjects for discussion. Just look at R&S!

I don't know, but I love to argue with people. That's why I wear a mask and have such a high opinion of myself. I consider myself to be a super hero. My parents are slacker hippies who are almost always stoned.

No. The journey is the destination.
