RE: What would it take to prove the existence of a God?

Freethinker, I love your passion! And I agree with you, it should be about proof. But again, as with what sanctus said, I think that most 'proof' is subjective.

You once were challenged to 'prove' you loved your mother. Your 'proof' was the testimony of your actions at her deathbed. While I am NOT disputing your love for your mother, I don't think you offered objective 'proof'. Yes, you were a good son. Yes, you did what most would. Yes, that is a way to demonstrate love. But that doesn't 'prove' love. Maybe you were putting on a show for the people watching, in case her will was in question and you could point to these people and say "Wasnt I a loving son? Don't I deserve her assets?" Do you see what I mean?

There is really now way to objectively 'prove' love, just as there is no way for me to objectively 'prove' God. I can disprove some aspects of scientific theory, or at least justify my opinion of them with what constitutes 'proof' to me, but that still does not offer 'proof' of God.
