Jimbojones: /* Problem of Evil */

==Mathematical proof==

A mathematical proof is a step-by-step demonstration of the truth or falsity of a mathematical theorem.
Proofs build on [[axiom | axioms]], which are statements that are assumed to be true without proof,
as well as previously-proved [[theorem | theorems]].

Several types of proofs are widely used, such as [[proof by contradiction | proof by contradiction]]
and [[proof by induction | proof by induction]]. Proofs that rely only on certain simple forms of reasoning
are sometimes called [[elementary proof | elementary proofs]].

[[Andrew Schlafly | Andrew Schlafly]] cited the lack of a Wikipedia page on "elementary proof" as
proof of [[Examples_of_Bias_in_Wikipedia | bias in Wikipedia]]. Ironically, at that time Conservapedia did not even have a page on "proof".

==Scientific proof==

Science is the tool of the devil. All branches of science are satan's horns.

==Biblical proof==

God is the [[creation|creator]] of the universe. He is [[omnipotence|omnipotent]], [[omniscience|omnicent]] and [[omnipresence|omnipresent]]. The proof[http://www.parentalguide.com/Documents/Bible_Desk/proof_bible_true.htm] of this and all other things can be found in the [[Bible]].

==Problem of Evil==

Without editing the previous article, I must challenge its assertions:

Omniscience - Infinite knowledge

Omnipotence - Infinite power

Omnipresence - The property of transcending the boundries of space and time

Evil - The antithesis of good

If one follows the new testament and asserts God is benevolent (all-good)...

Why does evil exist in the world?

God's omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresense, or goodness must be suspect, unless one accepts that evil does not exist.

==Scientific proof==

Unlike the [[theorem | theorems]] of [[mathematics | mathematics]], [[science | science]] does not seek to prove that its [[theory | theories]] are true. Instead, the [[scientific method | scientific method]] seeks to check whether the predictions implied by a theory are observed in nature. Therefore, as philosopher of science [[Karl Popper | Karl Popper]] argued, science can only hope to show that a theory is false. But scientists recognize that science ''can never prove'' that a theory is true. Therefore scientists never claim that their theories are [[fact | facts]]. Instead, science searches for theories that are not disproved by currently-known experimental observations. Insofar as theories are consistent with nature, they may serve as a guide to improve [[technology | technology]].
