The existence of God and Science

At the core of the God debate there are 3 possible beliefs:

1. There is no God.
2. There is a God.
3. Don't know.

Science can't positively demonstrate that there is a God and also can't demonstrate positively there is no God. Both #1 and #2 above are undemonstrable by science. Therefore neither position is "scientific".

The only belief system about God that is scientific is the agnostic position. Stephen Hawking professes to be an agnostic. He he says he can't prove or disprove the existence of God therefore he doesn't know.

You either believe in God or you don't or you don't know one way or the other. A belief is a personal choice and this choice can't be defended, either way, by science.

Many people of science do not believe in God because the existence can't be proven. Incorrectly, they say this position is "scientific" and belief in God is "unscientific". Because neither position can be defended by science, neither position is "scientific".

Ain't no science in a belief, just your own brain and life experiences.
