You’re not getting it — and it looks like you never will. “All law is essentially a science” is a non sequitur that has nothing to do with what I wrote: Religions assert supernatural claims for which no evidence is ever provided.

To consider a favorite example, Muslims believe that a certain horse sprouted wings and flew off to a magical land called Heaven. No law of any stripe will help you or anyone to support this claim. A flying horse is make-believe. It’s fantasy talk. (Hint: Horses don’t have wings and have never had wings; ergo, this claim made by Muslims is false.) Another: Parthenogenesis is not possible for Homo sapiens; ergo, Mary could not have produced a baby without first being inseminated. And yet millions of deluded believers will embrace this notion that Mary never had a penis inside her and instead became pregnant by a “divine” cause. Hilarious!
