Since when is FreeRepublic a site where people are asked to disprove God??? That's about as Liberal as it gets. No, I guess you could be asking me to disprove God for the sake of Communism, that would be a bit more Liberal, but seriously....

You are either incredibly stupid or you're a very persistent troll. I suspect the latter, judging from some earlier comments.

I never asked you nor anyone else to disprove God. I asked for a means by which God could, if this God does not exist, be falsified. That is, a test that would, given certain results, disprove the existence of God. This does not mean that those results would ever come about -- in fact, if God exists, then those results would never come about, but the criteria must be defined. If not, then God cannot be addressed in any way, shape or form by science.

Again, I am not asking for a test to prove that God does not exist. I am asking for a test that would, if God does not exist, show as much. If this God does exist, then this test could be performed over and over and the 'disprove' results would never come about.

FYI, when we talk about proof or disproof, we assume a definition of proof. You might think of a legal type of proof (beyond reasonable doubt) and the materialist likely assumes a laboratory proof. The question for the materialist is, would he hold his shaky theory to the same standard of proof as he demands for the existence of God?

There is also the problem of what the FR atheist will accept for proof. On one thread, a poster said he wouln't believe unless God Himself appeared before him and proved that He really was God and not a fake. No one can take such a position seriously. It is an act of not only intellectual suicide to hold such a position but open rebellion that lets the glands control the brain instead of the brain controlling the glands.

Finally, the existence of God is provable. The problem is not lack of evidence or proof for the existence of a Creator, the problem is most decidedly the closed mind of the skeptic who choses different and inconsistent standards of proof to suit his lifestyle.
