Agnostic: a person who holds neither of two opposing positions on a topic. I have never said that there is or that there is not a god. I am saying I want to see proof before I commit myself one way or the other.

But you have already displayed confused reasoning with regard to the reality of thoughts, so we are asking into which context you want this 'proof' to fit. There is the very strict frame of Physics reference, there is the less rigorous frame of behavior reference, and there is the supposed nebulous spiritual frame of reference.

To illustrate, check out what Jesus told Phillip in John's Gospel, Chapter fourteen, regarding the inability of the disciple to be 'shown the father God'. That was, for all practical purposes a Physics lesson, explaining that dimensionally God is so much greater than His created Universe that the complete vision of The Father is an impossibility for Phillip. What Jesus offers to Phillip is the most Phillip can 'know' of God, of God's nature.

If you seek a proof in the reference frame of a Physics experiment or equation, you will never have such a solution to hang your faith upon. However, the Bible informs us that God rewards those who diligently seek Him. Does it make sense to you to keep seeking that which is impossible to find, while rejecting the reward that is achievable/receivable?

Ok, Tom.



John 20:29
Jesus said unto him, “Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed. Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed.”
