Key word. Possible but not yet true.. Therefore, it is neither right nor wrong.

I said Agnostic view is always right because it claims nothing! No one can argue if you hold agnostic position in a debate. It is inconclusive. It is kind of like Schneider’s thought experiment. Is the cat dead or alive? We don’t know until the box is opened. I can write two books on it: one stating the cat is alive because of such and such. The other book will note reasons why the cat must be dead. Which book is correct and evident? Neither. God works the same way because we are trying to understand a power/force that is beyond us, unseen and unheard.

But that is not my position … I have made a decision … I have decided in this case due to other factors to side with the notion there is God, but also stated that He cannot be detected and provided evidence from our scripture that He cannot be detected. So long as this position remains possible then I cannot be said to be wrong … I am not being ambivalent like agnostics.

I disagree with the red part … I would choose to say “not yet provable either way” … But I am very much saying it is true … I have selected a position and for me things can be true despite not having to prove them to be true.

Science will not allow that, but philosophy does … And that is a draw back with science … That only when science allows a discovery only then it is said to be true … That is a problem because it does not entertain those aspects of reality that are outside our grasp.
