Religious Apologists: Science Can Do It, Why Can't You?

Science, which is from the Latin for "knowledge", has universally-accepted methods that provide reliable, verifiable data. If there is enough supporting objective evidence for a claim, it is provisionally accepted as being probably true (comports with reality). In other words, scientists working in the appropriate fields form a consensus on the matter until such time as better evidence is available to modify the findings.

What do religious apologists have to equal such consensus? Philosophical and theological opinion is all over the place. It is more than time for religious apologists to comply with the "Put up or Shut Up Challenge" (H/T David Madison):

  • "Please tell us where we can find reliable, verifiable data about God, and all devout theists must agree: “Yes, this is where the reliable, verifiable data can be found.”

Choose how you look at reality wisely. Yes, it is a binary choice.
