What can't science explain?
Science can't explain why we should accept the axioms of mathematical logic, science can't explain which ethical choice is best, science can't explain why it's correct and science can't explain things which are beyond empirical inquiry.

The placebo effect can by explained quite easily. Miracles don't exist.

Re: 回复: Re: 回复: Re: Does God exist?

1. Define miracle; how do you know its miraculous and not coincidence

2. I'm fairly almost 100% certain science can explain the placebo effect, I shall check up or someone can confirm it for me.

edit: I was right, google it

Nope, science can explain both of these things pretty well. 'Miracles' are nothing miraculous, there always turns out upon investigation that there was something else at play, if you think not and you could offer up proof you would win a million dollars.

Did you guys know that the earth is flat and merely accelerating towards the sun at 9.8m/s^2?

Re: 回复: Re: 回复: Re: Does God exist?

Yeah actually come to think of it I don't know why I entertained the idea for one second that the placebo effect couldn't be explained scientifically, it's pretty simple.

Putting that one down to a hangover.

But yes, do explain how you know that something is a miracle? I'm interested to see the logic behind that one.

The weather is a figment of sciences imagination. G-d created the miracle of the whether.

"And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth."

It's all in genesis seriously. I think genesis has surpassed Ezeikiel 23:17 as my favourite part of the bible.

Yes I do! Pretty funny, on another forum someone brought this up and it was calculated that if this were true within a year the earth would be moving at the speed of light.

Weh, as much as I hope that's true, I highly doubt it.

Yes but I mean, explain it. If they happen, there must be documented examples. I want to know if there has ever been anything specific which has happened which cannot be explained by any other means than divine intervention.

It's a big ask, but if you really think miracles happen, it's up to you to convince us.

No they haven't. If you have proof that someone has been miraculously healed then you should forward it to the Australian Skeptics association and if it is accepted and proven you may win $10,000. There is also a $1M prize in america which would probably accept the results of an Australian Skeptics challenge. The 'healers' of the world are charlatans and to be quite honest they sicken me with their hurtful deceptions.
