I believe that there are metaphysical aspects of reality and unfalsifiable truths science and mathematics will never be able to prove.

I've mentioned them before and they're semi-related, in a broad sense:
I believe the Congressional baseball game shooting was likely intended to benefit Trump.
I believe it's likely that the Russian government has knowingly promoted interracial cuck porn, in some capacity.
I think our model of cosmology is likely way more wrong than we think. I LOVE it when we get new data that challenges our accepted notions, which is why I'm loving all the "how are these ancient galaxies so big" stuff coming out of Webb.
My running theory is that what we call the universe is an inverse version of what we would consider to be the real universe, were we not stuck in this crummy inverted one.
What we know about the age of the human species, and other life, the earth, the universe etc. depends on so many guesses that we know essentially nothing.
Specifically, I think that elements and materials may have changed some of their properties and behaviour at some time in the past.
We do not know that. Most people just assume they have remained constant at all times. And we build quite many of our guesses on this assumption.
If, for example, C14 has changed it's disintegration rate at some time, then quite many of our guesses would be very wrong.
I don't think it's documented as happening to an element, but some compounds have changed their properties due to disappearing polymorphs.
The reason John Mulaney got divorced was that after getting off cocaine he realized that he did actually want kids but Anna didn't
The reason for the common cold being so prevalent in cold weather is because of the cold.
My theory is that cold temperatures best suit the incubation of the germs. You are especially susceptible at night, when you can't control your breath enough to keep your nose/nostrils warm. Warm face/nose at night = you won't catch a cold.
I'm absolutely convinced of this theory. I've tested ways to keep my face/nose warm at night, and it seems to test very solidly (and I get sick very very easily). Once my room gets too chilly, I'll inevitably wake up with a cold.
EDIT: let me have the smallest conspiracy theory in the world, thank you.
Does being religious count?
I'm going to ask you to limit it to more material claims if thats ok ☺️
