In a beyond falsifiability world view, where does the hypothesis of a supernatural god fit philosophically? I know you consider it a bad hypothesis, but it isn't a scientific one. The supernatural and gods are typically dispensed with as non scientific because they are non falsifiable. Is positing a god somehow less scientific than hypothesizing what is beyond the edge of the observable universe or inside a black hole?
Welcome to the March 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
