Oh no, I'm an atheist. I was just arguing the fact that sometimes in science, you can't always rely on empirical evidence to complete or validate a theory. Maybe someone can argue the existence of god given our examples, however I am not qualified to do so.

  • If we take 'theory' to mean scientific theory, then I'd say by definition they'd based on empirical evidence. But I agree that plenty of truths, such as those in metaphysics and ethics, are not based on empirical evidence, but on pure reason or what have you (and that seems to be what you were getting at).
