How conveeeeeenient.
If love is an action then obviously we can classify certain observable behaviors as exhibiting "love". And yes, it's also an emotion, detectable (like JP said) on fMRI by measuring stimulant responses.

People began believing in gods because they didn't understand the natural universe and wanted to avoid repeating catastrophes, then we evolved into believers in "God" because we observed things happening that were NOT in the natural order that couldn't be explained. Some causality was at work, miracles seem to happen sometimes. The giants of our world are not just scientists and explorers, etc., but religious adepts as well. People like Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed etc. who grasped the truth when there was no science to explain ANYTHING. Scientists will get to the bottom of these so-called "spiritual" events of synchronicity eventually - not in any of our lifetimes - and we'll all understand what the great ones were really observing and trying to tell us. Everything is connected. We do live by faith, every belief has a causality link to reality. Jesus WAS a scientist. Every sacred text is someone's attempt at devising a perfect "proof."

Yes, science can prove natural things... for instance, the Earth is 4.54 billion years old, the galaxy is 12-15 billion years old, humans evolved over millions of years, the eye developed slowly over a span of at least 250,000 years, gravity is the force of attraction between objects, etc.
Science can not either prove or disprove the existence of god. What it can do is disprove the bible and other religious texts, it can also disprove many theological arguments and make the existence of god very unlikely. And if you apply simple logic as well, you can find that god is very much improbable... and any god would certainly not be the abrahamic one, and the bible would not be "his" word by any possible means.

Well I understand your point.
Yet we can see evidence of God from a scientific standpoint. Though we can not see proof. That is why science is limited to disprove or prove the exsistance of God.
But to say that "God does not have anything to do with Science"....well I think you a little off on that statement. Since um he created/designed the natural world and science is the observation of that world, I think he has SOMETHING to do with Science.

"For God's sake please understand that God is not a natural thing!!"
That's an interesting notion. By extrapolation, you state that a divine being allegedly responsible for the creation of all that was, is, and shall be...is an unnatural component of that selfsame creation. I wonder what those implications hold.
"God is a Spirit!!!"
Most assuredly! If a being capable of wielding such powers of creation does exist, then it would have to be of a supernatural nature...or simply transcended beyond all that we believe to be possible in the realm of the material.
"Just like the angels demons etc..."
As a practitioner of the Art, I second that angels and demons are also spiritual beings.
"Science is not compatible with spiritual beings!!"
Your reluctance--nay, your antipathy--for science prevents you from understanding its relationship to the spiritual world. Science is merely the study of observable phenomena with the intention of gaining knowledge and establishing laws of operation. Even spirits are bound to specific laws and boundaries over which they cannot step. Magicians have been aware of these laws for quite some time, and regularly employ them in their interaction with spiritual beings. So, in truth, spirits don't escape science at all--they just defy what modern science is currently willing to accept.
"So when people ask for scientific proof of God!! They don't have a clue what they're talking about!!"
Yes they do. These people are simply searching for concrete, observable evidence of such a being. Unlike those depicted in the Old Testament, we modern "folk" don't have miracles or overt displays of power to lend credibility to such a being's existence. We have not seen rivers converted to blood, nor have we seen first-born trends in the death of young men.
"Can Science prove faith, love, hate, etc...? I don't think so..."
I suppose it can't; it can only prove the observable manifestations of such emotions. Can we not observe the chemical indications of powerful affection? Is it impossible to observe the elevated heart rhythm, the presence of adrenaline in the bloodstream, the constriction of muscles in response to overwhelming anger when actively experiencing hatred?

Science can prove God.
DNA in the human genome is arranged into 24 distinct chromosomes--physically separate molecules that range in length from about 50 million to 250 million base pairs.
We are made in the imageo dei, the express image of God, We have the same DNA as the Most High.

Zero. That's what I've been telling you, and other believers. Science tells us a different story than the Bible does (which is where God is described). The decision people have to make is whether to believe things that have evidence, or to believe things that don't. God is an imaginary being, like Thor, Voldemort, and Darth Vader. None of those weirdos have anything to do with evidence.

I do agree with you in that to prove or disprove the existance of God is not possible. And actually there is not science that is out to prove whether he existes...
Now science and archology can shed some light on the events stated in the Bible, and creation.-vs-evolution, year that earth has existed etc....which does not have anything to do with god...the bible is a book written by men for men....

I agree. You keep god out of nature and I'll keep science out of god. I have no problem with god who exists on some other plane and never interferes with the natural world.
Any claimed or actual interference past or present (for example: creating, flooding, sending sons) makes the agreement null and void.

Science can prove faith, love, hope, etc (in other word, emotions) exist.
Use an fMRI machine.
Science can prove that theism is quite wrong though. You might want to delve into neuroscience for the proof. It's fairly simple, but you'll have to understand some of the higher level psychology, neurology, and computer science before you can quite grasp it.
That leaves only deism and atheism. Help yourself to some deism if you like.
But YHWH? Total myth, not a spirit, not anything.

You say love is an action? Show me in there any action besides sex.
Love is an emotion. Even were it an action, emotions and actions are all from the brain, and thus provable with an fMRI machine.

Scientists have desperate that Pluto does not meet the definition of a planet. that's all. there has been debate approximately that considering Pluto replaced into chanced on. a call replaced into finally made, that's all. this is exceedingly nit-choosy stuff to ask your self approximately. in case you somewhat need some thing to think of roughly then think of roughly this. In all of history, on each occasion technology and faith have disagreed, technology has continually became out to be good. extra you are the single lacking the factor. It replaced into in no way an thought that Pluto replaced right into a planet. It replaced into an basic designation. A consensus replaced into made on the definition of a planet and Pluto did no longer meet the standards. this is now no longer considered a planet. I have no thought why you spot that as a reason to toss technology aside. technology modifications definitions via time as info is presented in that require a metamorphosis in definition. you're in seek of any reason you are able to to attack technology. besides the indisputable fact that, this is a exceedingly stupid one to paintings with. Pluto is now no longer considered a planet. that may not in line with a metamorphosis in concept or that scientists have been incorrect approximately planets. It purely potential that Pluto replaced into no longer stunning categorised and now this is being fastened.
