If you could ...A central element of faith is doubt. If you could prove the existence of god, who would need faith? If you could be absolutely certain god was ready to send you to hell, then life wouldn't be much of a test, would it? It wouldn't have any room for free will.<BR/><BR/>If god wanted to be proven, he'd do it himself - and I'm certain he could do it in much more awesome ways than being defined as some god of the gaps. You can't "prove" the existence of god - and yet that's just what the ID crowd are saying - look, here's evidence that everything was created. Gotchya god!<BR/><BR/>If he exists, he's the SUPREME BEING. He doesn't get caught out, you can't snap a blurry photo of him like bigfoot. Puny human science will never and CAN NEVER prove or disprove or in any way define his existence. His fundamental nature means he is outside the boudaries of natural law, so how can science - the study of natural law - possibly find him, or indeed say anything about him at all?<BR/><BR/>By saying that they can scientifically prove the existence of god, ID people are calling god an idiot. They are blashpemers.<BR/><BR/>(Note that I'm an atheist, but that doesn't mean I can't dig a cool fictional character).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
