| JWeinCom said: Oh absolutely. 100% proof? Probably not. But there could be enough proof that it would be stupid to think otherwise. For example... If the laws of physics were consistently violated in the favor of one particular religious group. If someone claiming to be god came to Earth and was able to do things that completely defied known laws (like morphing a dog into an elephant, levitating everyone on Earth simultaneously etc. If tomorrow, all wars and conflict ended. If we woke up tomorrow and Pokemon were real. If Half Life 3 releases. If everyone simultaneously heard the same identical message in their minds saying "yo watup. I'm god. Here's what I need you to do from now on. There are literally millions and millions of ways an omnipotent god who wanted people to know about his existence could prove it. Instead he used the "tell people about it in a book that contains unverifiable information" method. If there is a god, he's a rather poor communicator. |
If any of those things happened and someone was claiming he was able to do it because he was Jesus or God or whatever....people would just say he was the devil.
Seriously, when some book from 2000 years says Jesus walks on water and that's a proof that he's divine, modern day people believe the divinity. When Chris Angel walks on water and does it right in front of hundreds of people (although he doesn't make claims of divinity), people say "we know its a trick" at best and "its devil magic" at worst. So which is it? Defying physical laws is a proof that you're divine or not? If it makes you a devil, why does everyone bow to Jesus? It could have just as easil been a "trick" back then.
"Oh, the devil is a powerful being. He's meant to deceive you". So, both Jesus and the devil can allow things to walk on water? How do you know which is which, then? Why do you deny direct evidence but accept a book from thousands of years ago?
