I WISH to support Jim Lane's position (Stourbridge News, 25 September).
Not only does science not prove whether there is or is not a God, science is not even equipped to ask the question.
The repeatability of experiments is the fundamental assumption. In other words, it assumes that certain laws that scientists have discovered apply and have always applied.
If God acts, it is an unpredictable intervention in the universe beyond those laws.
Equally, science cannot examine the question of whether there is an intelligent designer behind scientific laws.
I believe that there is a God, but the question of his existence is a matter of faith.
An atheist is using faith to believe there is no God, just as much as I do to believe there is.
