  1. Science should be understood as a recursive computational program that is exploring reality.
  2. There are two primary components to this process: the methodology, and observations
  3. The initial seed rules of the methodology are all atheistic
  4. Then, observations are made, including of theistic methodology, as that's a thing in the universe
  5. If theistic claims or theistic methodology were defensible, they would be adopted into the set of verified observations, and some of the methodology would be pushed into the methodology section
  6. Then, future observations would be done, in part, by theistic methodology, e.g. prayer, reading of religious books, etc.
  7. This hasn't happened
  8. This hasn't happened because no observed theistic methodology or beliefs have been shown to be defensible
  9. An so science is additionally atheistic in its observation set
  10. Since I am making a universal claim, it would be quite easy to refute me, e.g. if Fen was interested
  11. You'd show me an example of theistic methodology used by science, or a theistic claim found to be defensible
  12. And then I'd have to update my model
  13. + innit 14:15:54
  14. Now, it is true that science has explored theistic methodology, but only via the atheistic methodology
  15. For example, a double-blind study done on prayer
  16. There's a hierarchy of methodologies in the methdological section, where some methodologies have precedence over others, based of historical performance
