Dear Eveline,

The atheist say there is no God. Put in this way, it is for them a positive statement. So it is their job to "prove" their assertion, right? According to the Test of Hypothesis, the Null Hypothesis should be "There is no God" because this is the statement you hope will be wrong when you do your test. The Alternative Hypothesis will of course be "There is a God".

Yah, I have very quickly run through parts of the Proving of God thesis. It is actually Multivariate Statistics involving Factor Analysis. It involves a lot of Matrix Algebra and hence the Egenvectors. The problem is not the mathematics but how you interprete the results. I am sure God has nothing to do with it, especially the gravity causes God part. The matrices are mostly covariance and correlation matrices.

Just a simple example in Univariate Statistics. You can easily get a positive correlation coefficeint between the number of people eating ice-creams and the number of people going to Woodbridge Hospital. But you cannot conclude from the positive correlation that eating ice-creams causes mental illness. So statistics in the hands of a non-statistician, even if they are scientists, can be wrongly interpreted.

Bye Bye:-
