DON'T
KNOW WHAT
FUNCTION IT FULFILLS,
WHY NOT JUST DISCARD IT?
The history of science is replete with abandoned concepts & theories!
For instance, early modern scientists who tried to account for the movements of light
postulated the existence of a substance called ether, which supposedly fills the entire universe?
Light was thought to be waves of ether! However, scientists failed to find any empirical evidence
for the existence of ether, whereas they did come up with alternative & better theories of light!
Consequently, they threw ether into the dustbin of science.

Similarly, for thousands of years humans have been using God to explain numerous
natural phenomena? What causes lightning to strike if not God? What makes the rain fall? God!
How did life on earth begin? God did it! Over the last few centuries scientists have not discovered
any empirical evidence for God's existence, while they did find much more detailed explanations for
lightning strikes, rain & the origins of life! Consequently, with the exception of a few subfields of
philosophy, no article in any peer-review scientific journal takes God's existence seriously! Historians
don't argue that the Allies won the Second World War because God was on their side; economists
don't blame God for the 1929 economic crisis; & geologists don't invoke "HIS WILL" to explain
tectonic plate movements. The same fate has befallen the soul.
