When there is already a theory in books and same is believed by so many people who have experienced it spiritually.

And A few people try to come up with contradictory theory, Isn't it the duty of those putting contradictory theory to come up with proof regarding why they chose not to go well with the theory that has existed there since everlasting?

God is not a theory. God is a mere hypothesis. As such it has no standing in logic and contradicting it makes no burden on those contradicting it.

God is not a theory since there’s no way to test it.

@TheOrionbeltseeker if you’re going to present the god bullshit as an explanation of reality, you’re going to have to keep to scientific definitions and not some random list of synonyms. A hypothesis becomes an accepted theory once it has been tested repeatedly and never fails the test. Describe how you test your god hypothesis.

@redredred Calm down man. Let's not talk to each other as Bojos and be civilized human beings first and let the respect flow to and fro between us. God lies in the spiritual Realm. All his doings are in the spiritual realm and it can manifest in physical realm if you really need his help. There is a difference between need and greed.
@TheOrionbeltseeker To call something a "theory" means tests can be designed and performed.

"Now I’m going to discuss how we would look for a new law. In general, we look for a new law by the following process. First, we guess it (audience laughter), no, don’t laugh, that’s the truth. Then we compute the consequences of the guess, to see what, if this is right, if this law we guess is right, to see what it would imply and then we compare the computation results to nature or we say compare to experiment or experience, compare it directly with observations to see if it works.

If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It doesn’t make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are who made the guess, or what his name is … If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong. That’s all there is to it."

@TheOrionbeltseeker With all due respect your god silliness is a Bronze Age myth perpetrated by control freaks who realized that, if they could convince others that they spoke to the “spirit world”, they wouldn’t have to work for a living.
