And technically it's an oxymoron. In order for something to be deemed as true, it must go threw a process of scientific explanation. However what is the meaning of scientific?
1. a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws: the mathematical sciences.
2. systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation.
3. any of the branches of natural or physical science.
4. systematized knowledge in general.
5. knowledge, as of facts or principles; knowledge gained by systematic study.
6. a particular branch of knowledge.
7. skill, esp. reflecting a precise application of facts or principles; proficiency.
According to science, something must be observable. Yet religion is not observable, nor test about. SInce this forum is dealing with the scientific study of religion, how can we scientifically study it? We would come to the same conclusions with religion as if we had done the scientific study of unicorns or the scientific study of dragon's or even the scientific study of religion which teaches that some all powerful sentient being created us so that 1/5th of the population can be their chosen. Neither of these actually exists. So how can we actually do a scientific study on something that has no possibility of existing in the first place?
We know things exist by testing them and then coming to a conclusion - The scientific way.
The religious way is by coming to a conclusion - sayings it a reality - and then scavenging for evidence for their belief.
How can we seriously take religion seriously?
