Voting on the Existence of God

In summary, the conversation is discussing the idea of voting on the existence of God and how it is ultimately meaningless as the majority vote does not determine reality. The example of the cosmological constant in theoretical physics is used to illustrate how experts can be influenced by their own biases and limited knowledge. Ultimately, voting on the existence of God or any other aspect of reality is futile.

I won't vote because a vote about the nature of reality means absolutely nothing. If everyone agrees God is . . . that doesn't mean God is. Everyone votes science is . . . that doesn't mean science is.

I was watching a special today on how regretably the idea of a cosmological constant was allowed into theoretical physics. If you took a vote when everybody wanted the universe to be static, guess what the answer would have been; take a vote now and you get different results.

Right now we have no idea what we don't know, and so the experts are "convinced" the universe has to be or can't possibly be certain ways. Take a vote and mostly what you get is people's unsupportable opinions and biases.
