Hypothetical: Scientists today have solved 3 of the worlds greatest mysteries. Today scientists discovered indisputable proof of the existence of God and Evolution and the Big Bang. Does this mean the end of Creation vs. Big Bang and Evolution vs. Intelligent Design?
If this really happened would the debate be over? Would Jerry Falwell, rest in pease, and James Dobson be satisfied?

Probably not. They would then argue over which belief system is used to determine the "facts," and would then attack said scientists in order to prove them wrong.

There is scientific proof for evolution and the big bang. The universe is still 14 billion years old.
There is no proof for the supernatural.
You do the math.
Falwell believed that the earth was 6,000 years old, despite the verified age of the earth at 4.5 billion years. He would never change his mind due to evidence. I'm an atheist, and I would. If someone could show me empirical evidence of a god and that religion were not the manifestation of a specific society and culture, then I would change my point of view. But they never have, and rely on saying "just believe in it" instead, like every other religion. It's unlikely that gods exist.

lol That'd be great! Sadly I think a lot of the involved parties are too invested in the argument for its own sake to stop arguing just because the answers were indisputably proven.

Absolutely not. Since religion relies on faith and not on proof, then any proof, even of god being real, would be insignificant to them, especially if that proof goes beside proof of the big bang and evolution.
Besides people are stubborn. Everybody would stick with their ideas, even if proof didn't exist for either one.

Seriously..I highly doubt there would ever be indisputable truth. And even if there was, they'd argue over how to worship the God, or exactly what the first phase of evolution was, etc.

No, because God could have orchestrated evolution to suit His purpose and He could have been the impetus for the Big Bang. There will never be an end to the debate so long as there are people alive to debate it.

I doubt they would. They's probably say that the findings were inconclusive or otherwise corrupt. The reason being that for either side, it would be far too great of a demand to ask either to admit that the other was right about anything.

I really think, in this case, there would be no such thing as indisputable proof. People who didn't want to believe it would find a way to explain it away, no matter how convoluted their reasoning was.

If there was scientific evidence of God's existence, I would stop arguing about it.
The question would then be: Is he a god worthy of devotion and worship....and from the looks of the Old Testament (and even much of the New Testament) the answer would be an emphatic NO!!!
For the sake of my son and future generations of humanity, I would take up the fight to overthrow the Tyrant of Heaven, and free those unjustly imprisoned in Hell...

Science *has* proven evolution and the big bang. It is only the uneducated few that think there is still a debate.
