There are many things in nature which science does not directly measure. Einstein's GToR to name one. Evolution to name another. But there are many many others. In fact, I suspect most things are indirectly measured. We believe they are right though because of the indirect measurements and logic and reason; because it makes sense. I am not doing anything differently here.
His null hypothesis was requiring evidence he knows he cannot measure. He literally said that direct measurement was necessary for him to change his mind. That is a null hypothesis.
I on the other hand say that I can indirectly measure God's existence and that logic and reason tell me that it makes perfect sense. Such that it requires less of a leap in logic for me to hold my beliefs than his leap in logic to hold his beliefs.
Absolutely. I follow what you are saying. I am also following what he is saying and doing by using a null hypothesis. Some have no interest in expanding their horizons into philosophy, metaphysics, spirituality--or even logic. I find it somewhat bemusing at how intent and how much effort some spend in creating for themselves a limiting environment in which they do not have to face even the idea of God.
You are one of the explorers who launch into these other arenas where some fear to tread. Letting go of that which is solid and measurable can be terrifying. Also freeing.
