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. |
In fact, it's one of the most logical and consistent part (or one of the best tricks) of the Bible. If God proved in a efficient and clear way Its existence, there would not be free will for faith. And this free will is fundamental. In fact, a confusing and unprovable Bible even make sense from this point of view. But anyway, what is the topic about, God as a concept, or God as described in the Bible (or an equivalent) ?

How would there not be free will? Knowing there is a god does not mean you have to obey him. Adam, Eve, and Satan certainly knew there was a god, but that didn't mean they didn't have the free will to define him.
