"Stalemate" is a generous term to apply to those who stubbornly cling to an unfalsifiable claim. An unfalsifiable claim is the weakest sort of claim there is. And by what metric do "philosophers and theologians" have any more insight to such a question than do you, me, or the entire scientific community?
Logic is science. The Queen of all vassal, empirical or physical science. Divorce physical science from logic and you have no science at all.
Falsifiability is not limited to test tubes and rulers. A logically absurd assumption does not become a "fact" because a clever salesman sells it.
And florid prose is a poor substitute for substance.
What "logically absurd assumption"? That god does not exist? that's not even an assumption; it's the rejection of a unsubstantiated assertion of the opposite. You speak so highly of logic, surely you know that a negative claim cannot be proven, but a positive claim can be disproven. So presenting an unfalsifiable positive claim and accusing those who reject it of arrogance is projection.
And neither of you have answered my question.
