What if somebody invents a science which explains god...or some idea which until now was unthinkable and/or inexplainable?
What if this science presents some kind of proof that god exists?
Will you atheists then become believers ?

Of course,this works both ways...if science can PROVE to me that there is not god...I will become an atheist...
But I haven't seen any proof that will deny it's existence...
BTW I won't bite for the "there can't be such a thing,just because I can't see it"

I had to address the second part first. Based on your logic, you should currently believe in UFO's and Aliens and Flying Green Spaghetti Monsters since nobody has proven they don't exist.

This leads to the core of your question. It is a logical fallacy to appeal to the lack of proof of a negative in support of the existence of something. Proving a negative can't be done!

The fallacy takes this form:
[ X is true because there is no proof that X is false. ]*

As a matter of fact, our entire system of jurisprudence is based on avoiding this logical fallacy. You may know it in another form; innocent until proven guilty.

You have to offer proof of something first, otherwise, it doesn't necessarily exist.

If science brings indisputable proof of the existence of a higher being, then yes.
If someone invents a so called science to prove that this being exists, then no.

I will only accept that once it has been proven to be real but doesn't mean I will be quick to be a believer. For that to happen I would need god to be at my side from any possible point that I maybe at whenever he is proven or shows himself. Which could mean I could be in the worst state of condition, content, or even really happy and things are looking up. If he's really willing to help me with something that I can't do in my own terms or really struggling with.

As an Atheist, I am not so stubborn that I would not admit my mistake. Think of the opposite. If there was a science that proves God doesn't exist, would you abandon your faith? I think anyone in their right mind would change their point of view if presented with incontestable evidence.

No, I wouldn't become a believer. Because if the existance of God were proven, it would not require belief to know it was so.

Question for you - if the existance of God were scientifically proven, would believers resist it like they resist other science?

You clowns love this question, don't you? Amazing how you always get the same answers. You know, the ones that demonstrate the rational and open-minded thought processes of us atheists?

Keep looking for inconsistencies. We know how hard you'd like to find some to match those in your own fairy tale existence.

Not without absolute touch-and-see proof. So just leave the atheists alone. Don't try to save them. They will get their reward in due time.
Most will end up in Heaven with the rest of us, just for being good people. God isn't that mean.

Let me get this directly,you are asking questions of atheists and complaining after we reply? Would a while now not be greater spent complaining approximately the devout now not answering while you ask questions of them? Religion is backwards. I suppose eighteen is your lot kind of

Your question is convoluted.

You do not need to show me proof. If you can show me some good evidence (objective, verifiable, validatable) that supports the existence of any god, I will believe.

Go to it!

That will never happen. You cannot prove something that dos not exist. You may as well prove the existence of the purple people eater.
