Original Question

I answered this question that appeared on Quora https://www.quora.com/Do-you-believe-in-a-creator-Not-necessarily-the-same-thing-as-the-Christian-God-or-other-religions-equivalent-but-more-like-a-conscious-being-that-creates-the-laws-of-physics


Since it states within that it's an axiom, is it a subject for consideration here at all?


If so, on what basis, since it's probably just an opinion? What do you reply wrt to the ideas expressed under "if pressed..."


I look forward to thoughtful feedback.

Comments on Question

Hi Dr. Bill, would love to help, but not sure of the question. Can you clarify?

It is not an axiom and by claiming there is no test to refute it you are shifting the burden of proof to the non claimant who has no such burden. Actually an unsubstantiated claim which cannot be tested for is about as far from an axiom as you can get.


You said something towards the end about taking surcease; I don't understand what you mean by this, as surcease means to stop something.
