    Let’s say we reset everything today, wipe out everyone’s memory. God will be forgotten, science will still exist. People will figure out science sooner or later.

      If I’m being honest, I think people will figure out god too. All it is is a question.

      “Did someone do all this?”

      It’s a reasonable question. Easy to ask, hard to answer. Attempt to identify this variable “someone”, and people will eventually land on some kind of god.

        Yes, but the point is that every time god is “rediscovered”, the form of that god changes as does the scripture surrounding that new religion.

        Science, for the most part, wouldn’t diverge from our current understanding of it, because it is ultimately our understanding of the world and its fuctions.
