“Because it is” I just demonstrated how it is not via the fact that current theories can later be falsified with new observations. Secondly science fails to empirically prove or explain intuitive/moral truths, so if you believe only with evidence you have a problem justifying your belief in the most basic intuitive truths.
Science not giving you philosiphical answers, spirituality or morality, all doesnt diminish its veracity on the natural world and natural processes.
It being a self improving system is one of the pros not a con” yeah maybe when it comes to understanding how the observable world works but not when it comes to realities that can’t be experimented on. Again science is inherently capped because it relies on dealing with empirical data and the observable world.
Exactly, so it changing with new information and better understanding is good and is what makes it a good method
You are right about realities that cant be experimented on. Doesnt mean people should be expected to believe in extraordinary god claims.

you’re going to be consistent you should also do away with believing in love, justice, evil, honesty and so on since they cannot be proven with empirical evidence. I’m basically trying to show you how utterly baseless it is to deny God’s existence with such a contradictory worldview.
Now moving on the question you asked, the belief in God is actually an innate intuition, one found in virtually every corner of the world, even young Japanese kids as young as 4 or 5 believe in God according to studies such as the “Children see the world as it is designed” study which showcased that kids in Japan believe in God as the originator/creator of the universe.
Were they indoctrinated already? We know Japan is like borderline atheist with some lingering Shintoism, with Shintoism not having any sort of creator in their theology
The same applies to moral views based in religion, due to different covenants and abrogation.
The impossibility of having any evidence either way doesnt mean accepting gods existence isnt baseless as well.
And even if there is such an intuition in humans, views about god vary alot in different cultures. This and the philosophical arguments then at best show the existence of some supernatural entity that started the universe that we cant really know anything about. Compared to that, specific god claims of the various religions are a stretch.
Also mind you that i still dont deny the existence of any supernatural entity or supernaturality. Im still not a materialist, nor do i subsribe to hard/strong atheism.
