DHW: Amazingly for someone who claims never to imagine what God might think, you tell us that he preprogrammed all the innovations and complex lifestyles 3.7 billion years ago for the purpose of creating humans (but you've now decided he didn't dabble), and you know that “God likes to hide. He tests. He cannot be tested.” (“Falsifiability”, 19 December at 00.53) But we mustn't ask ourselves what he might have done before he created this universe.
> -Hrmm, but the concept of God, at least from my perspective, is falsifiable. Both by science, Archaeology, and Philosophy. I am not going to hijack this thread derailing into that statement, but yes, there is a means to falsify god, and ironically, God provides the means to falsify him.
