Hi Gilberto,
>The idea is that in order for a theory or a statement to be
meaningful, it has to be falsifiable.....If you can't really do that,
meaningful, it has to be falsifiable.....If you can't really do that,
so the argument goes, what you are saying ultimately has
no meaning or content<
This criterion may useful in the field of science, which is
the process of observation, forming hypotheses,
then testing them by more observation. But in the realm
of spiritual reality, this principle is not always helpful.
For example, the existence of God is not falsifiable because
there are no conditions under which God would not exist.
The same could be said for the human soul. Thus, to say
God exists, or human beings have souls, is not falsifiable,
yet both statements have meaning.
