So, God is now a person that can't be measured
I never said god was a person. I mean, maybe god is a person, maybe god is a jelly fish. I don't fucking know, no one does.
This obviously would mean that prayer is bullshit, right?
I don't know if prayer is bullshit or not. Maybe it is, nobody knows. Many people think prayer works, but they don't really know. They just believe it works, because they have faith.
How do you measure a realms of existence (more than one!) using the scientific method?
I didn't realize you were talking about multiple realms... what evidence do you have that there is more than one realm of existence? I only have evidence for one, the one in which we apparently exist. Do you have evidence of other realms of existence? Please share this evidence!!
Didn't we already cover this?
I did, did you?
is belief required for, say, the 3rd law of thermodynamics?
Are there not real, repeatable tests to demonstrate entropy within our realm of existence?
Further, are you conflating theory and hypothesis like most christians and flat-earthers do?
Nope.

I'm not. you brought that one up:
Hence, why I asked how to measure multiple realms of existence.
Then how do you explain this:
?
That looks like the conflation of theory and hypothesis to me. Theories have evidence, and have been tested.
Unfortunately, this means I'm gonna have to end the conversation, cos it's early morning, and I need to head to Church in 6 hours. Have a good morning/night/whatever.

God, by definition, is supernatural, and would therefore exist outside our reality, in a "realm" that cannot be experienced from within our reality. So maybe there's another realm, maybe not, I don't know. That's the whole point though: no one can know about anything that is not within our realm of existence, including whether or not there are other realms outside/separate from our own.
Call it whatever you want. They are both examples of people who believe without evidence, and thus depend on faith.
Some theories, yes, others, no.
Ok. Well, this was fun while it lasted.
Have fun with that. For the record, I have nothing against anyone who practices religion, except for Jews, muslims, and satanists, because their religions promote immorality. I don't practice religion though, because I don't have faith, because I require evidence to support belief. And no, I don't think that morality requires religion or faith.
You too, and sleep well :)
