Don't believe in God? Why not?

Fine. I'll play.

I understand why you don't really want to argue... but for me, GT has become damn boring, so I kinda need this. Nobody is going to prove anything to anybody, but we can always argue for the hell of it.

The scientific method is a way of investigating the universe. It goes like this:

1. Observe some aspect of the universe.
2. Invent a tentative description, called a hypothesis, that is consistent with what you have observed.
3. Use the hypothesis to make predictions.
4. Test those predictions by experiments or further observations and modify the hypothesis in the light of your results.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until there are no discrepancies between theory and experiment and/or observation.

No, I have not gone to Church and prayed the correct way. And before you jump on me, I don't believe that anything I may or may not feel while praying is a result of God. I attribute feelings to hormones and synapses firing in my head.

Anyway, I don't believe in God because I only believe in what can be proven through the scientific method.

Ugh... if you haven't experimented with somthing yourself, how can you prove somthing?

You have a hypotesis.... you've made predictions, but you haven't tested them. 2 out of 4 steps.

Now, tell me again, why don't you believe in God?
