So how do we investigate for truth? How do we investigate for a metaphysical truth? Answer: The same way science examines...by First Principles, observation, philosophical considerations, induction, and application of a method or experiment.

Somebody ping me when they come up with the experiment that will test the existence of God.

I’ll raise you one.

Someone ping me when they come up with an experiment that will test the existence of love.

After all, for all those who reject being able to test for the supernatural (or extra natural), love is something that exists in this present world that all humans experience.

That ought to make it much easier to test for than God.

I will put you on the ping list. However, as I said we investigate Truth with the essentially the same forensic tools used by science, presuppositional acceptance of Uniformitarianism, First Principles, Observation, Induction. Man will never abductively prove the Existence of God. :However, we do see evidence of God. We have discussed those issues at great lenght over the past 15-18 years (i don' t know how long I have haunted FR) that I have been on Free Republic.

If one comes to God he must come in faith. If one comes to scientism he must come in faith.

Which God?..... A designer God, a perceived God, the christian God, a generic God; a nebulous God?

There could a thread on just what God is and/or isn’t..
The very term “God” has not been identified yet...
Mumbling the word God is done quite easily..

It could be “God” is still in the closet..
Unless the bible lore is true.. which seems to generate the very controversy..
When I look around I see a plethora of Gods..

If there is a God it may not be a He or a She it may be an “IT”..
What is... “IS”.... and what ain’t..... “AIN’T”...

The God “thing” maybe be Un-describable.. in language..
Tempting some primate to ignore the subject completely..
It makes their heads hurt.. dealing with it..
