Wrong again. Scientific tests, aka 'experiments', test the validity of hypotheses under specific conditions, and part of any hypothesis is the recognition that different conditions may produce different outcomes.

Yes, and those hypotheses are constructed with terms that have definitions.

It looks like you are trying to say something but what you typed in not really clear.
That's the problem with responding with a cell phone. What I'm saying is scientific hypotheses are constructed with terms that have definitions. When you test a hypothesis, those definitions come into play.

Of course. However, science does not, and cannot, provide the definitions. So, when you say that something is harmful, you aren't using science, you are using a pre determined definition of harm and then testing to see if what has already been defined is present. This is not a semantic argument. When people try to use "science" to define moral terms, disaster results.
It's called faith for a reason...no proof required.
Faith is hoping you were indoctrinated correctly.
“Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.” (The Law, p.6) Frederic Bastiat

I've been exploring different religious and philosophical ideas lately, and I would love to hear your thoughts on what convinces you that God exists. As someone who hasn't yet been convinced by arguments for the existence of God, I'm hoping to learn more about what draws others to belief in a higher power.
I don't necessarily doubt the possibility of such a being, but I also don't know how one could be proven or dis-proven definitively. That's why I'd like to hear from some of you who do believe in God - what is it about your experience or understanding of the world that makes you believe there is a God?
Of course, I'm open to hearing from people who don't believe in God as well. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Life.
No scientific explanation for living organisms is remotely viable.
I'll assume (hope) that you don't actually find this to be any convincing evidence of the presence of God. "God of the gaps" justifications for god are awful gambles. Science has made every "gap" that used to be filled by god shrink enormously over the past few centuries. More importantly - and more to the OP's question - if you find "evidence" of god in any current gap in science, that's not faith.
OP - I doubt you'll find any convincing proof of god's existence. But if you could, faith wouldn't be a thing, so perhaps that is as it is supposed to be.

The thread title is "What's your best >>>evidence<<< for the existence of God". Nobody asked for proof, and certainly not "convincing proof " (I'm not sure how proof is not convincing) .
You can't give any of us proof that you are a scientist. There may be overwhelming evidence that you are a scientist but, not proof. Unless we are talking mathematics, there is no proof.
A strong piece of evidence in biology is bacterial flagellum. But no, it is not proof.
As science got better, it allowed us to discover bacterial flagellum. The more scientist know, the more evidence is found for a designer.
Scientist don't like to admit that they are not filling gaps but creating mor gaps and providing more evidence.

There is no "convincing proof" of anything depending on the person being "convinced." There are those for whom the evidence for the moon landing is insufficient.

That's why I'd like to hear from some of you who do believe in God - what is it about your experience or understanding of the world that makes you believe there is a God?
Of course, I'm open to hearing from people who don't believe in God as well. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Life.
No scientific explanation for living organisms is remotely viable.
I'll assume (hope) that you don't actually find this to be any convincing evidence of the presence of God. "God of the gaps" justifications for god are awful gambles. Science has made every "gap" that used to be filled by god shrink enormously over the past few centuries. More importantly - and more to the OP's question - if you find "evidence" of god in any current gap in science, that's not faith.
OP - I doubt you'll find any convincing proof of god's existence. But if you could, faith wouldn't be a thing, so perhaps that is as it is supposed to be.
The thread title is "What's your best >>>evidence<<< for the existence of God". Nobody asked for proof, and certainly not "convincing proof " (I'm not sure how proof is not convincing) .
You can't give any of us proof that you are a scientist. There may be overwhelming evidence that you are a scientist but, not proof. Unless we are talking mathematics, there is no proof.
A strong piece of evidence in biology is bacterial flagellum. But no, it is not proof.
As science got better, it allowed us to discover bacterial flagellum. The more scientist know, the more evidence is found for a designer.
Scientist don't like to admit that they are not filling gaps but creating mor gaps and providing more evidence.
Science is not finding evidence of design. If it were there would be peer reviewed journals publishing and testing such evidence. There is not.
Videos are not peer reviewed FWIW..
“Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.” (The Law, p.6) Frederic Bastiat
I've been exploring different religious and philosophical ideas lately, and I would love to hear your thoughts on what convinces you that God exists. As someone who hasn't yet been convinced by arguments for the existence of God, I'm hoping to learn more about what draws others to belief in a higher power.
I don't necessarily doubt the possibility of such a being, but I also don't know how one could be proven or dis-proven definitively.

There is no "convincing proof" of anything depending on the person being "convinced." There are those for whom the evidence for the moon landing is insufficient.
Have a member of the family who believes the moon landings were all a fake.
Another who believed the nazi death camps were all staged by the British and Russian military.
Then there are those who still insist Trump was a paid agent of Putin .

And those that still insist Trump is looking out for them.
