I don't usually quote people to counterpoint because it adds a bit of aggression to the discussion, but I just wanted to point out that... this is purely opinion on your part.
Furthermore, on Freud vs Jung... I dont intend to follow either one's groundwork for psychology too closely. If you want to learn new stuff, you need to think new ideas, and that's exactly what I am trying to achieve.
I also feel like I should be commenting on your statement about proving if God exists via the scientific method. I won't go into it any more after this, though. Simply, if it was proven that God existed via scientific method, then his purpose should easily come along with the proof. Now that I've just said that, it makes me laugh a little. So, WHO'S God are we going to end up proving exists? I could go on and on about the impracticalities, but I just want to state that your assumptions about what would happen if this were to take place are, again, just speculation and not based off of any precidents.
