But wouldn’t a reasoned, rational proof or dis-proof of God’s existence be able to be spread far and wide, esp. on the internet? I’d doubt that it could be squelched so easily.
i believe there are plenty of rational points already out there that show the existance of God, all of the net and in the non-cyber world....and look where we are.....
Jesus raised the dead in front of people and some didn’t believe.
I am all for scientific inquiry but I don’t believe, sadly, that it will convince those who hate God.
If it was on the internet I think I'd be inclined to disbelieve it.... ;-)
The problem with the idea of proving the existence of God, is that you have to define the parameters of "proof," where God is concerned. What constitutes "proof," vs. a failure to prove God's existence?
Theologian Karl Barth discussed the difficulty of trying to "prove" the existence of a God that necessarily exists outside the universe as we sense it. It may not be possible.
God sorta gets around that difficulty, though, by means of the Holy Spirit, Who operates on each of us directly. God has proved His existence to me in that way -- but that's really just anecdotal evidence, which lies outside the scientific realm.
