If GOD himself walked among us and showed us all things would that be scientific evidence?

Question

I like scientific evidence but some claims seem to fall short.

Answer 1

Some believe he/she already has. That is if one believes in the Farther(God), Son(Jesus) and the Holy ghost(Divine Spirit). The Holy Trinity as it were. In this respect Jesus was not only the son of God, but God and the Holy Ghost. As Saint Patrick once explained to the People of Ireland. Think of the Holy Trinity as a three leaf clover. The three leaves joining to one stem. Three separate leaves, but in essence really being one plant(metaphoric symbolism).
That being said, if one does not believe Jesus is all of the above. Then if God himself/herself walked among us and showed us all things and the truth of it all and so on. I think or feel this would be indisputable proof of not only Gods existence, but the abilities and miracles there in. Of coarse this would make things extremely easy. Faith has never been easy. It is more of a trial. In which if one remains faithful through all the scepticism and scientific analysis. Then ones reward is everlasting life in the Kingdom of Heaven. But even if God did as you suggest there would always be scientist who would not believe. Also would make it their life's goal to disprove. So in essence really no different then things are now. No matter what one does. Some Scientist minds will never be changed or people for that matter. I think a better question would be, why do people of Religion or Science feel they always have to convert people to their way of thinking? Why can we all agree to disagree.
Peace!!! Love!!! Happiness to all!!!

Answer 2

Sometimes science takes a little faith too. The important thing is to never stop searching for the answer.

God telling us wouldn't be scientific evidence. That would just be God telling us. Then there wouldn't be a need for science anymore. And that would be sad. Besides God gave us these brains. He wants us to use them not sit around and argue.

Answer 3

It's really a trick question. If the sky was red, would tomatoes be a different color? It's impossible to answer because it's based on premises that are unreal.

My feeling is that God couldn't show us 'all things' because 'all things' are way beyond our understanding. I mean, imagine God showing up in 2000 BC and trying to explain sub-atomic particles and electronics to people.

But if God could explain it to us in a way that we could understand, in a way consistant with what we already know, then yes, it would be science. Until then it's not science, it's -faith-. Nothing wrong with faith, but faith and science both have their place, and they don't substitute for one another very well.

Answer 4

I am not sure he would be able to communicate with us logically. Just read what kind of scientific evidence he wrote in one of his holy books: “And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink. And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.”

Answer 5

HE could do that. But that would be like parents doing their kids' homework. It would be correct but they wouldn't learn what they are supposed to learn by themselves!

We don't have enough evidence because we are still in the process of finding things out.

Answer 6

Of course. Science deals with observable entities. If God were to suddenly become an observable entity in the manner you describe above, it would be just as relevant to science as any other observable entity.

Answer 7

How would you know it's a benevolent god showing you the truth and not a powerful deceiver?

Answer 8

If it was replicatable and published in a reputable and peer-reviewed journal, probably.

Answer 9

When that actually happens, I'll let you know.
