Like what? God? Heaven? Valhalla? Reincarnation? Miracles? Rebirth? Karma? Levitation? Astral projection? Quantum entanglement? Quantum Tunneling? The Higg's Boson? Special Relativity? Here's a tidbit for you: there is absolutely no reason to assume inertial mass and gravitation mass are the same thing according to the standard model, but it's a commonly held belief. I have a master's degree in Physics and I can tell you there's a fine line between science and philosophy. What is 'true'? I don't know. I know electrons aren't hard sphere's that orbit neuclei but it's a handy model to help us understand. I know the conservation of Energy law isn't correct when we look at quantum field theory but it's a handy model to help us understand. I don't believe the Bible was inspired by any god but some people do, and it IS a handy model to help us understand. Truth? Who is to say Solipsism isn't truth... so why should I even be having this discussion? Well, because I believe solipsism is not true despite the complete lack of evidence against it. Why? I don't know, it's just what I believe. Just remember, nothing can ever be 'proven' and even in the canki sutta the Buddha taught that EVERYTHING begins with faith.
A lot to cover here lol
Theistic God has been pracitcaly disproved
Deistic God hasnt and never can be, although good arguments against
Reincarnation and Rebirth cant be disproved and i would say cant be proved either
Kamma, do you mean buddhist or hindu or jainism?
Levitation you cant prove or disprove but can only go by rationality and logical thinking and so i would say the probability is low
Quantum entanglement? Quantum Tunneling? The Higg's Boson? Special Relativity?
this is science but im aware of the point your trying to make. While im not a scientist and only have laymans understanding isnt there a difference since these things the result of educated guess based on scientific evidence?

But you dont live your life by it, you dont take it as divine word and define what is moral or amoral in terms of it
I don't believe the Bible was inspired by any god but some people do, and it IS a handy model to help us understand
understand what, when it comes to explaining things the bible is usualy wrong (evolution, age of earth, adam and eve and genetics etc)
I don't know, it's just what I believe. Just remember, nothing can ever be 'proven' and even in the canki sutta the Buddha taught that EVERYTHING begins with faith
There is blind faith and rational faith
Just remember, nothing can ever be 'proven'
I agree, we can only go on what is more logicaly probable
I completely disagree, as I already said I believe the cause of these things is human nature.
but religious belief adds more danger because its irrational. For example those people who flew the planes into the twin towers did so because the
had faith in allah, same for suicide bombers for the most part. The community that helps spread aids is completely from faith, sunni killing shia, catholic killing protestant and so on. The most dangerous of all, the belief in the end of days. the faith that the end of the world brings a better paradise and that it should be ushered in as soon as possible
Science has had to fight religion for most of history inorder to impove things for manking, if religon had its way we would all still be sat in the bronze age
