When a few friends and I go up against 300 Amonites and we are victorious, that would be proof.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a ball gag actually. She's tired of running the show and wants someone to take control. |
Ok, so Shaun requires a lopsided military victory. Easy enough, Gulf War I. Over 30,000 Iraqi casualties versus about 145 US casualties. Congrats Shaun, you are now a believer.
Jim, however requires a reversal of the laws of physics.... |
OK, I think I answered this "proof" question before, but I will have a go at it again. I don't remember what I said initially, but maybe this will be a more refined answer. :)
Jim's "proof" might be accomplished by a highly evolved, advanced being or group of beings, which I would not define as "God". BTW, I put the odds of the existence of ludicrously advanced beings much higher than a supernatural deity. Though, their "powers" might appear magic to us just as our technology might appear magic to Cro-Magnon man. Proof of an Abrahamic God would have to be specific, IMO. I think a series of very detailed prophecies which came true, indisputably, as described would probably do it - these prophecies would be communicated to me by direct brain input - telepathy. That's how "He" works sometimes, yes? :) When I think about that answer, I guess anything defined as "God" could probably do the same, not just the Abrahamic God. I'm also assuming the lowly, highly-evolved beings would not have the ability to predict the future. I think the personal telepathic communication of detailed prophecies which later indisputably came true would most likely make me a believer. Of course, no one would believe me, so I would write the prophecies down after they happened and then tell everyone the true story . . . and everyone would think I was crazy. And then, a few thousand years later . . . :D My 2¢ Now bring on the "gotchas". :) Best, |
Hrm, interesting. So you would have to have direct communication and be a prophet for a God you do not believe in...
Another case of direct communication as proof for you. Ok, I can accept that. So again, can we stop asking people to "prove" to you (you being the group you) that God exists since the only thing you would accept as proof is if God directly spoke to you and made you a prophet? |
I think it would be great if he/she/it would just reveal itself. But, if according to certain texts and their certain interpretations, when this happens it will already be too late for poor souls like me.
Rick, that was just one example of proof I would accept personally. I am sure there are others I could think up that would be satisfactory. I think if there is a God, it could do without the burden and absurdity of religion, but that's just my opinion. I think such a God would want us to question its existence, learn by observing this world with the tools we have been provided and be good just because it's the right thing to do. You did get where I was going with my post, yes? Good night to you - I must turn off my internets. :) |
