    Though to be fair quantum theory states that there is a possibility that my friends could turn into Jessica Alba triplets

    Until such time as they do. The principal of locality etc being what it is you cant automatically dismiss the possibility of the existence of God simply because the possibility exists that said influence is occurring beyond observable range. Point being that assuming such a Deity exists it would be impossible to detect the influence of said Deity upon the universe until such time as that Deity chose to reveal itself.

    And please note I am not trying to convince you that God exists, just that any any discussion on the subject inevitably ends in a stalemate (at least so far in human history).

    And so back to my beer I go - until or unless it gets turned into Whiskey, although I have to say I would probably prefer good bourbon of that was in the offing. (Which is another topic for debate :smile:.)

    Then it’s not a scientific theory, it’s a delusion.

    No it is a theory. It is a possible and reasonable explanation for observable phenomena.

    Any physicist who claims he can prove that the law of identity and causality are myths and not fact is a quack. These two laws are as immutable as the law of gravity, and the laws of motion. Furthermore, whatever it is they claim they saw that violates those laws only shows they need to put on their thinking caps, and think again.

    A pencil in a glass of water doesn't bend, no matter what perception occurs, however, by applying the laws of identity and causality, a thinking man can discover that it's the light the water is bending, not the pencil. Though I'm confident it fooled many of primitive minds into believing in magic.

    In any argument between faith and reason, faith’s final argument is “the gun”, i.e., force. As in, the Spanish Inquisition, the Salem Witch trials, and the attack on the Twin Towers. That’s because faith doesn’t require proof, just belief.

    As to the question of a Deity’s existence, atheism neither confirms nor denies. It simply means without belief.

    However, a mystical entity that can rewrite the nature of universe does not exist, accept in the minds of the true believers.

    Human body is very flawed because we’re not built from the ground up

    nature has tinkered with what it has
