skeptic: something is not true just because it can't be proven.
faith belief: it's true just because the possibilty of it being true has not been dis-proven. |
I agree: God/oneness or the soul can't be proven by (materialistic) science. If we think we can (e.g. by quantum physics which derives from the materialistic view) we have to deal with the fact that everything that is proven may be falsified a few years later. If we claim god or the soul can be proven by manifestations in the materialistic world, he/she/it may be disproven too in this falsification process. We should not even think about proving it. This only leads to discussions like: "If we can prove that Jesus did not exist, we have the right to question christianity at all." on a higher, yet equally narrow-minded level.
I believe god and the soul must be experienced. And this deep experience can't be disproven by words or thoughts or quantum physics.
