"In the United States, healthcare contributes very little to the economy (it’s not even on the above pie chart!), but it makes up a very large percentage of the government’s budget (26%!). "

I'm just stopped right there. Oh. My.

You are definitely right, it's not impossible. One way or another we have to get to a future of hope rather than despair. I love your spirit. We need that.

What I mean by a scientific and provable God is a God that operates under laws that can be proved. Most religions do not believe such a God exists. They believe that material law is the last word, which means that in the long run it's mostly doom and gloom for humanity, at least in the scope of a human lifetime. There's a lot I could say on this, but I don't think this is the forum. But what Jesus did, for example, in his healing works and overcoming of death, was not perform one-off miracles but demonstrate divine laws that are still active and can be proved. To me that's the most reliable route to the kind of future you envision. (It's what I'm trying to explore on my own Substack site, at the moment through fiction.)
