thus you are stating that if GOD is unobservable, science would say he does not exist and is false.
No! Now listen very carefully. If something is unobservable (in all ways) science says nothing about it. Nothing at all. The process of science can't say it exists or not. Having "no comment" on somethings existance is
not the same as saying it doesn't exist.
let us say absolute truth is the fundenmental truth of all the universe, it's laws, and its constants. I will call it A.
Either A = God or A= Science
I can't tell what you could possible mean about a "fundamental truth" in the scientific sense. You are constructing another false dichotomy. Science can say many,
possibly true things about the universe none of which have anything to do with God. Some of them maybe pretty "fundamental" (whatever that does mean) but all are subject to further research and may prove to not be so "fundamental" after all. In fact, that's happened a lot. So perhaps there isn't any "fundamental" truths in science. (even things like conservation of energy had to be changed less than a century after being formulated).
You are putting forward a false dichotomy. A dangerous one. If you insist that only one of "science" or "god" can be correct then as evidence mounts more and more people will pick the one with evidence. However, most believers aren't so foolish and believe in a more interesting God than you do.
Your whole last paragraph is based on the wrong idea that not observing something known (defined) to be not observable disproves it. It doesn't!
Let's try an analogy. Einstein's special theory of relativity says we should always experience time dilation if we travel. It predicts the exact amount that we should experience. We calculate how much you should experience driving to the store and back. We use wristwatches to check the result. We do NOT observe time dilation.
Have we disproved special relativity? Of course not. We didn't expect to observe the dilation.
You have described God as being unobservable. Given that, when we don't observe Him have we disproved Him? Of course not.
If you say that God doesn't exist if the earth is more than 6,000 years old you have supplied an observation that can be made. I make the necessary observations. The earth is much more than 6,000 years old by any measures that I can reasonably make. {i}Now[/i] [b]you've/b supplied a God which is disprovable and disproven. That's up to you, not scientists.
Common sense isn't
