Why I Can't Disprove God with Science

Two bold claims open this course — there is no god, and there is a god. Using formal logic, the history of philosophy, and real empirical studies, this course explains why neither claim sits neatly inside scientific method. Topics include the argument from ignorance fallacy, god of the gaps, classical and modern arguments for divine existence, the only large rigorous prayer trial, agnosticism, the motte-and-bailey pattern, confirmation bias, and how to assign burden of proof correctly — ending with a quiz on classifying real statements.
