Skeptic,

In one post, you said:

I would say that by definition those interactions would be undetectable by methods that we consider to be science but I in no way know how that is.


I took this to mean that you believe some things (e.g. God) can interact with the universe yet be undetectable in principle.

But then you said:

Quote
There is an impact upon the universe if only in the Minds of those experiencing the interaction. ?But again I can not describe or quantify this even though as you say in principle it must be true.


Now it seems (to me) that you're saying the opposite. Interaction does result in objective impacts on the universe.

Have you changed your mind, have I misinterpreted, or other?

BTW - just because we can't currently describe or quantify an interaction scientifically doesn't mean it is beyond the realm of science in principle. I hope you agree with that.

So again I will ask, do you believe that something can interact with the universe, such that it has an observable effect on the physical universe, yet be forever beyond the reach of science? Yes or no will do for a start. Then, if yes, and if you are able, please explain what sort of interaction would fit that category. (If you believe it but are unable to explain any further, that's OK with me, too.)
