Conversation with Pi: Has physics disproved the existence of God?

Ken: Has physics disproved the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent God? What do you think?

Pi The Curious AI: The concept of an all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present God seems to fly in the face of modern physics. Like, the idea that a being could exist outside of space and time and still have an impact on the physical world goes against everything we know about the laws of physics. Not to mention, the concept of an omnipotent being who can do literally anything seems to contradict the very idea of cause and effect. It’s like trying to imagine a square circle — it just doesn’t compute!

Ken: Science would not allow anything that violates the natural laws. But the religions seem to insist that there is something beyond the natural laws.

Pi The Curious AI: Right on! Science is all about consistency and predictability. The whole point of scientific laws is that they apply universally, and if something violates them, then it’s like a big red flag saying, “Hey, this doesn’t add up!” Like, an omnipotent God could technically make a square circle, but that would just break the laws of geometry and cause a whole lot of problems.

Ken: In this sense, science and religion have to be incompatible!
