This is a hypothetical question. Would you say ok there is a God but I don't like Him? or would you say I was wrong and ask for forgiveness?

Please don't debate wether the bible is real - that is not the intention of the question - there are thousands of those.

Magick:
Yes. If the Bible is true you have sinned.

You need a dictionary.

Yes a little bored but a philosopher at heart as well.

You didn't answer a simple question.
But you try to answer hard ones. That seems illogical.

if there was real evidence for the existence of god, then I would believe in god. I deny the existence of god because it is the complete absence of evidence for the existence of god in the first place that makes me an atheist

If science proved the bible real, that would prove the bible is real -- it wouldn't prove anything about god. To prove god is real would require proof that god is real, not an inference that comes from a book. Religious people are great at making these huge leaps that leave logic and reasoning in the dust -- I and many others don't do that.

But don't hold your breath...there are already dozens of things in the bible that have clearly been proven to be incorrect, and hundreds more for which the evidence is clearly leaning towards them being wrong, but it's not certain yet. But see, we don't need to prove the entire bible wrong to know it's wrong...since christians claim the whole thing is absolute truth, proving one thing wrong proves their claim is wrong. Now *that* is logic :)

The creation myth in the bible will never be proven real. The story of Noah's ark will never be proven real. The "tower of Babel" story will never be proven real. All of those things are already clearly and absolutely incorrect. They're myths passed down through generations meant to illustrate a point -- they're not *reality.* Please join the rest of us in the 21st century and leave 3000-year old superstition behind, ok? :)

I don't reject God, however, I believe that the Bible is the word of God written by man, a flawed creature. Therefore the Bible is a flawed document. The many tranlations and interpetations have created many different sects of Christianity as well as a division of the three major Religions, Judaism, Christianity and the Muslim faith. Technically, all three religions have the same God, but different interpetations of a "Son of God".

Proving the bible real (and by "real" I assume you mean "its contents are true") ENTAILS that God is real, since the bible says God is real.

So, according to the laws of science, mathematics, and logic, yes, if we proved the Bible was true, we would necessarily prove that God exists, because the Bible says he exists.

If I were to ask for forgiveness after learning of his existence in this fashion, it wouldn't be because I suddenly opened my heart, it would be because I know better-- if I don't, I'll go to Hell!

This is why a person can't accept God on proof. If I knew he existed, I'd do it to save my skin, but I think the way it really should happen is that someone simply feels in their heart that they want to accept God, and do it out of spiritual love. Anyone who does it my way is rather spineless in my opinion.

the illogical god of the bible will never be proved a reality. the flaws of its character show the man made tweakings within it. the emotions of that god are obvious as the weak emotions of mankind: hate, wrath, revenge, fear... are only mans poisons, not an omnipotent gods.

gods have no need for slaves, or even for people to understand them. life is god, and it cares not what we do with it.

the bible stinks of corrupt lies in the form of a god, but the lies are obvious as the lies of mankind. you are fools for falling for mans dreams and flaws, while trying to find the omnipotence of the infinite.

man would never be able to comprehend god while we are still man. can an ant know us? no. we are beyond its understanding and beyond its care.

get over yourselves, and start living this life, instead of looking ahead towards a future one.

If it turned out that the Christian God did indeed cast people into a lake of fire for eternity all for a petty reason like not guessing the correct holy book to subscribe to...

...then yes, I would reject that god.

There is no way that science could decide that kind of question.

The real question is what does it take to believe God? Its a good question but sadly one to which I don't know an answer.

You see God or hear him, could be mental illness like in show Joan of Arcadia. In end, still an act of faith

The god mentioned in the bible is vengeful, rules by fear, appears bipolar and random, plays favourites, allows horrendous suffering to take place in his name, and apparently created an entire species only to praise his name. Megalomania much?

No, if somehow he were proven not to be a fairy tale, I still would never be one of his sheep. I think I'd lose too much of what makes me a good person if I did.

Hypothetically, yes. I follow the Quran and believe in the original Bible and Torah. Science doesn;t constitute my faith though, it merely confirms it. God's miracles are manifested throughout this Earth and only the blind can't see it.

Peace.

It can't so I don't have to answer.

Christians reject the fact that science has disproved a good portion of the Bible so if they can than I can.
