How does someone devise an experiment that proves or disproves that GOD exists?

From the article:

Consider someone who assumes that all existence is the work of a creator who speaks through the events of the world. He can follow that assumption down the road and decide whether God seems to be keeping his side of the bargain. Many of us live like this and feel that with time our trust in him has been affirmed. There’s no scientific argument for this way of drawing meaning from experience. But there’s no way science could disprove it either, because it is outside the scope of scientific inquiry.

There is no "God Meter" ... you can't stick the probes in the ground and measure the divinity ... you can't point the telescope at the sky and see Him. OTOH, you can look at the elements of the physical world and see them as His handiwork in them, with His signature written prominently upon them. But that's theology, not physics.

No such experiment CAN exist. Re-stating Gödel's First Incompleteness Theorem in this context would say that in order to absolutely prove or disprove the existence of God, you would have to do so from the context of a being/system greater than God. In other words, to prove or disprove the existence of God, you have to believe that an even higher authority exists.

This is why faith is critical to the process.

Well, you could commit suicide and find out, but you’d never be able to report back to the rest of us with your findings.
