Physics is the business of making testable and predictive hypotheses about how the world works. God is something else, apparently.

But what the heck, if others choose to believe in God, so be it. All I would say to the believers is this: You believe in your God, allow others to believe in theirs. You chose your path to your God, allow others to choose theirs.
Those who do not believe in God are unlikely to bother trying to disprove something they do not believe exists!

The sooner we get rid of superstition, the sooner the world will be fit for intelligent life.
Starts from tomorrow, I am going to pretend I understand QM.
If people ask, I'll tell them to read some text book and learn some math first.How do you think? Pete.
not to "understand" quantum mechanics but to know how to use it. I.e. all students of quantum mechanics are told to stop asking questions about what's "really" going on.Superstition?

Since I believe God, alan wants to get rid me asap, will you protect me?
Even if a non-believer scientist were to embark on a quest to disprove God, they could be biased and in the event of them claiming to have disproved God's existence, would certainly be accused of bias. I could set out in search of the Pigmy Tortoise, at just 7mm long, the smallest tortoise ever to have existed. Just because I don't find it does not necessarily mean it does not exist. It may just mean I didn't look in the right places or hard enough. By the way, before you ask, no, the Pigmy Tortoise does not exist........... Or does it???
To those who kill in the name of God/Allah, I ask, are you not, by your own definition, committing the greatest blasphemy of them all?
