An Empirical Theory Of God

[quatona]

Yes. About 85 percent of the planet labels themselves a "theist". Only about 4% of the planet label themselves an "atheist". The overall "consensus" of human beings is that "God exists".

Seeing that everyone has the freedom to define "God" as they wish that´s not really surprising.

Don't atheists have the freedom to "lack belief" in God and define that lack of belief anyway they want?

Whether it's surprising or not, it is in fact the human "consensus" on this particular topic.

Now if only truth were a democracy, we'd be set.

BTW, there is quite a difference between a consensus of people on any subject and a consensus on experts in a field for which there is evidence to discuss.

What makes anyone an "expert" on God exactly? I think most folks would consider Jesus to be an "expert" on this topic. He certainly believed in God.
