Not at all. I fact you may have stumbled on the nexus of science V Religion. In terms of Language we have heat and cold. But in fact, there is only heat and degrees of heat. "Cold" as a scientific term doesnt exist. It is just a complete lack of heat, at absolute zero.
Similarly, a Vacuum in space is a complete absence of matter. A nothing. In both cases we feel the need to give this "nothing" a name and treat it as real. So it is with God. Scientists can demonstrate where God isnt, because other things are there. And the space where God can hide is getting smaller every year.

@whowasthatmaskedman right without any measuring instruments - I would like for someone to prove to me that heat or cold exists.

@MarmeeMarch How about we stick your dangly bits in the freezer your head in a microwave and place both feet in ice buckets and both hands in a deep fryer? Nothing personal. This is science at work. 😉

@whowasthatmaskedman no you cant have any device that produces hot or cold - just tell me using your words and prove it.

@MarmeeMarch The point of science is that we can observe using instruments, Calculate and measure . And repeat the experiment. Simply because "something " is there.

@whowasthatmaskedman nothing is there - cold is not a thing neither is heat -

@MarmeeMarch Sheldon Cooper would have a field day with you. Heat is an energetic force. It is either present or not.

@whowasthatmaskedman Right - and thank you for acknowledging the existence of God or a force. I mean 2000 years ago they knew about heat but they did not say it was an energetic force.

@MarmeeMarch Yes. Science has pushed God back out of floods, fires, lightening, Eclipses and a whole heap of stuff those ignorant peasants didnt understand. There are still more ignorant peasants out there though.

@whowasthatmaskedman got that right
