It's comforting to know that God is at least as likely as an invisible pink unicorn. I'm glad we can establish that much!

There are surely blanks, and even errors in scientific calculators, but as the time goes by they will get explanation.
That is not the same with religion. People in faith do not have blanks or errors.

I never repeat myself and now i do it again Faith doesn't need scientific proof. All you need to do is believe and that's it.
That is not the same with sciences. All the blanks and errors need reassessment and more calculations. Not closing eyes.
Those who in faith believe there was a dude who could wake up people from the death. Those who rely on science know he had a defibrillator.

There was a couple who underwent fertility testing, and were said to not be able to have any children. The woman was 42 at the time, with a large fibroid tumor on her uterus. The levels were so low that they wouldn't even approve hormone shots, in vitro, or any of the other methods employed in these situations. The couple went to quite a number of top-flight specialst doctors in the field, always with the same result-"no kids, learn to live with that".

They went to a monastery where they had a piece of the Cross of Christ, and were blessed with it. Soon thereafter, they became pregnant and had a son!

"Coincidence! Surely a statistical anomaly!"


Yet, the couple again visits a monastery to ask for prayers for another child. The week they return home they discover they are again pregnant. The woman was now 44, do you think her scientifically measureable fertility levels had increased in the intervening two years? In addition, the woman never ovulated again after the birth of her second child.


Not just a story I read somewhere, because this is what happened to me and my wife, personally.


But, if you want to bank on the scientific knowledge available on the 4.6% of what is possibly observable, and diregard the fact that 95.4% is truly "unknown" in scientific terms, then, as you say, reassesment may be order!

No. The certain presence of dark matter is also observable through gravitational lensing.
