What I will say for you and Quentin is that for each individual
convert, the previous state was disproved. Since, its subjective,
why argue otherwise. If we want objective, then we must be able to
measure.
I agree, and that's why the theology of the numbers is *interesting*:
it is testable in the usual 3p sharable way. That theology contains
physics as a subpart.
What is subjective is the appreciation, or not, of the term
"theology", and that is subjective indeed, but it could also be
related to "strategy". My difference with Quentin is on that point.
But I have already hidden the wording "theology" for a long time, and
that strategy did not really worked, and so I come back to the usual
method of choosing word: using the word the most applied by those in
the fields or appreciating the subject.

They are proven false. People leave religions all the time. Often
for another one.
If they were proven false, what's your explanation of why the
catholic church still exists and has followers ? (or take your pick
at any current religion here on earth)
Cannabis danger have been debinked at the start, and since then, its
medical applications have been verified hundred thousand of times (I
can give the references), and yet most people and the states
continue the same "religion" with the dogma that cannabis is a
dangerous drug.
The explanation is that professional liars are good at their job,
and for some reason, this is easier on the fundamental matter, than
on technical matter. But it is the same human weakness---to find
comfort in local lies.

It isn't... QI is not worshipped, it is not a belief per se (you
can entertain the idea for an argument or a theory that's all) and
QI could in principle be proven false... A religion by being based
on faith cannot.

Who can tell me that quantum immortality is not religion.
BTW it is not dogma that I believe in.

Some religions may be, that doesn't mean they all are, however.
How do you relate science to beliefs about the world and reality?
Would you say science the collection of those beliefs, or the
method for developing the beliefs?
Science is a way to discover the world, nothing is certain, what
you believe now may be shown wrong tomorrow... that's not the case
with religion...
