"In philosophical terms, “anti-realists” or “empiricists” understand science as investigating the properties of observable objects via experiments. Empirical theories are constrained by the experimental results. “Realists,” on the other hand, speculate more freely about the possible shape of the unobservable world, often designing mathematical explanations that cannot (yet) be tested.” - dhw: I would have thought that belief in a God who created the universe in order to produce humans, who designed the weaverbird's nest, and who hides behind a quantum wall, constituted untested and indeed untestable speculation rather than investigation of observable objects by experimentation, but whaddoIknow? - DAVID: My conclusions follow Adler. IMHO all the experimental evidence points to God. - You can follow whoever you like, but I still don't see how the above conclusions can possibly be tested by experiments.
