Yes, so does mathematics, music, love and truth. All of which are manifested by consciousness.Science exists without man ever discovering any of it.Science is manifested by consciousness, Hollie. You can't get around the human element.The same can’t be said about science. Science relies on a hypothesis, testing and evaluation of evidence to reach conclusions. Accepting culturally appropriate gods due to tradition and because those are the gods you inherited is like wearing a hand-me-down wardrobe.The same can be said about science. Or have you custom assembled your science? And then you custom assembled God so that you did not have to bother with God? Kind of like custom assembling a wardrobe so one doesn't have to bother with ironing...?I wouldn’t accept the idea that one unthinkingly inherits the gods commonly associated with their familial / geographic location.
