There are two sorts of proofs: proof of facts and proof of theories. Because the objectives behind these proofs differ in legal and scientific work, the specific procedures for proving facts and
theories also differ.
Fresno and others want scientific proof and throw out the very real Proof in Law.
Karl Popper once wrote that "In the empirical sciences, which alone can furnish us with information about the world we live in, proofs do not occur, if we mean by 'proof' an argument which establishes once and for ever the truth of a theory".

The fact that quantum physics doesn't seem to follow what we understand to be the laws of the universe demonstrates how little we actually know. I don't see it as proof of god though, merely the current limits of our understanding.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

The original post states there is no proof that God exists. When I asked what proof would be accepted I was told scientific method (although Fresno did allow mathematical proof)
I want to know what other types of proof are accepted by society other than scientific method. Even that requires some philosophy.

Canadians are burning down Catholic churches because they're fucking pissed about what's come to be more than 1,000 unmarked graves of indigenous children at residential schools across the country. Now, I'm no soothsayer but how the shit is the Catholic Church still a thing? Not only do they have some really crazy cult-ish type of stuff going on, they've had the pedophilia priest issue for what seems like forever, and now they're accused of more atrocities in dealing with indigenous children dating back to the 1830s.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.
