SDF, "Wherever our knowledge ends, that is where god is. That is called "An argument in ignorance". "

God is not there. You are looking in the wrong place if you are looking for him there.

Science can only study our physical universe. If there is another place that exist outside it, with possible matter govern by different physical laws, then our science can not see it.

If you limit yourself to science, you limit yourself to our physical universe and you canâ€™t see beyond it.
