A Scientific Inquiry into God

The philosopher Karl Popper came up with the black swan example. You can test the hypothesis that 'all swans are white'. Just keep on looking until you find one which isn't. In fact, as it turns out there are black ones, so so much about the hypothesis. 

A God debate is meaningless since the construct of the universe that you perceive mentally has been established  as a multiple equilibrium outcome. Believe in the randomness of the universe and your separation from everyone and you will be proven right, believe in Oneness and the idea that the universe is a learning device established just for you to bring you home and you will be right too. The point is that everything that you perceive goes through your mind. You are the creator of the world around you and you have the choice to just decide which world exists in 'reality'.

If you discuss with someone whether  -1 or 1 is the solution to the problem 1 = X times X, you will both discover that both solutions quality. The person who zooms in on -1 cannot criticize the one who picks 1 instead. The God hypothesis has to be lived and only you will know whether eventually a black swan shows up which will then induce you to go with the atheism hypothesis instead.

Many spiritual searchers ask how exactly does one get the faith to start looking for God? You know how a scientist tests a hypothesis, she starts with the assumption that the hypothesis is correct, looks at everything through these lenses and then dismisses the hypothesis when the evidence doesn't line up. So how exactly can one make the existence of God and the prevalence of Oneness a working hypothesis and truly believe in it until proven otherwise? A couple of ways. The religious way would be to study the examples of the historic Sons and Daughters who have walked this earth. If you are convinced that their experience has been real, you will trust that you can achieve the same. And then there is the way of the Tao, which has been my journey. The metaphysical world stretches out a hand towards you and the more you reposition yourself to the Source, the deeper and stronger this divine connection becomes.

 I have seen the Tao, but my word counts as much as the one of the atheist who claims that God is nothing but a mental delusion. This is your scientific inquiry. Give the God hypothesis a shot, and my claim is that the metaphysical evidence will soon present itself with overwhelming clarity.
