    Position Science
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between science and the concept of God, particularly a creator of the universe. It emphasizes that science does not take a position on God, as it does not engage with supernatural claims. The consensus is that without scientific evidence for God's existence, science cannot address the question of God's nature or existence. The conversation suggests that if a creator exists, it may be irrelevant to scientific inquiry, advocating for a focus on enjoying life rather than worrying about the existence of God.

There is no position on God in science. Science doesn't deal with the supernatural.

My view on it is that if something like that does exist, his existence is the equivalent of his nonexistence. Meaning, enjoy life and stop worrying about this stuff.

It would be more accurate to say that since we have no scientific evidence for the existence of God, science can't even address the question. If we say that God is supernatural, then we are assigning definitions. Since we don't have any scientific evidence, we can't make statements as to the potential nature of a God.

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
