Incorrect. Science is a methodology. Systematic observation, hypothesis, experimentation, and falsification within the natural world. It doesn’t “demand evidence” for every possible question, nor does it claim to address metaphysics, ultimate origins, or why the universe is intelligible/mathematical at all. It works precisely because the universe follows discoverable, consistent laws. Many of the greatest scientists (Newton, Kepler, Maxwell, Faraday, Mendel, even modern ones like Francis Collins) saw no conflict between that ordered reality and a rational Creator. Science describes how; it doesn’t dictate why or rule out agency behind the laws. The “science vs. God” framing is a false dichotomy. Science assumes uniformity of nature and the reliability of reason which are things theism explains better than pure materialism (why should blind matter produce minds that can do math and science?). Faith isn’t “belief without evidence” it’s trust based on cumulative reasons, philosophy, personal experience, and the very existence of a comprehensible cosmos. If evidence appeared for God tomorrow, science wouldn’t collapse. We’d study the new data. But science can’t prove a negative on God by design. Conflating methodological naturalism with philosophical atheism is exactly the ignorance I was pointing at.

Oh, really? So now you suddenly care about the Albanian people? The same Albanian people whose institutions, public services and digital infrastructure were the target of a cyberterror campaign that aimed to cripple an entire country, and which international investigations have traced back to actors linked to and supported by your regime. We know those fingerprints all too well. We know the methods. We know the threats. And we know that what has driven your hostility toward Albania has never been Zionism, nor any other convenient slogan of your despicable propaganda. It is your hostility toward freedom itself. You cannot forgive Albania for doing what Albanians do: opening their doors to people fleeing persecution. You cannot forgive Albania for giving shelter to Iranian men and women whom you sought to silence through intimidation, imprisonment and death simply because they dare to think differently, speak differently or dream differently. But we are Albanians. We do not abandon people who knock on our door seeking protection from oppression. We did not do so when Jews fleeing Nazi persecution needed refuge. We became the only country in Europe with more Jews after World War II than before it. And we will not let down the Iranians who seek safety from intimidation, persecution or assassination. Nor will we yield to your desperate and relentless cyberattacks. After your major assault, we built a resilient, state-of-the-art cyber shield that has made Albania far stronger and far better prepared to confront your desperate cyberattacks that continue with no success. You are free to use the privileges of open societies to spread your false narratives, your shameless accusations and your brutal threats. But as we Albanians learned from fifty years of darkness under our atheocratic dictatorship, propaganda can conceal the truth, distort the truth and postpone the truth, but it can never bury the truth not even under the weight of a medieval theocracy like yours. Your regime can hack networks, imprison critics, censor voices, threaten opponents, bully neighbours and manufacture endless excuses for its failures. But it cannot escape reality forever. Regimes built on fear, censorship, repression and the crushing of dissent may endure for a time, but history is merciless toward those who wage war against their own people's freedom and prosperity. The Iranian people deserve freedom. They deserve dignity. They deserve the right to speak without fear. And Albania will never apologize, never retreat and never be intimidated for standing on the side of those values. So keep manipulating and deceiving whoever in the colourful West is willing to fall for your falsehoods. But you will never make Albanians enemies of peoples - whether Jews, Arabs or Americans. Because what they share, and what you fear, is the very things you have denied your own nation for far too long: Great hopes, big dreams and the determination to live free, to seek peace and to relentlessly build prosperity🇦🇱🤝🇮🇱🤝🇦🇪🤝🇶🇦🤝🇸🇦🤝🇺🇸

I can give you WAY MORE than one piece of evidence that Christmas is heavily influenced by paganism. First of all.. Micchael says "December 25th was not a MAJOR HOLIDAY, until the Christians started using it". This is false. In the Calendar of Filocalus, the "Birthday of the Invincible God" Sol is attributed THIRTY Chariot Races. The MOST of any Holiday on the entire 12 month calendar. This is BEFORE Christmas was a liturgical date on the Christian Liturgical Calendar. So the exact OPPOSITE is true here. CHRISTMAS was not a MAJOR CHRISTIAN HOLIDAY until AFTER PAGANS celebrated Sol Invictus Birthday. Let's set this up for Mid-December.
