the next step will be to prove which version of god is the one that exists and which of the holy books is the right one... and the existance of one god will not exclude the existance of others, if there's one, there might be more... so it will support paganism or polytheism.

It depends on how you define god. I find such a scenario extremely implausible, but if it were established that the universe did begin with an act of intelligent design, I would want to find out more about the bastard who could start all this and then stand back and do nothing more!
Just for a moment, to enter the realm of pure fantasy, if it were proved that the bible god existed, I would immediately take up arms against the murdering psychopath, for the sake of all my fellow humans.

People are people and always have been...... we are no different down through time. There were quite a few people who saw Jesus with thier own eyes and saw miracles. And some believed and alot didn't. It would be no different today. This is.....and always will be an individual choice. Which is why I do not waste my time trying to convert anybody. I didn't always believe......it took an individual choice on my part and the decision was supported by the great changes and happiness that came into my life that 'converted' me. "Trust me child, I have it all under control. Love, God" is a sign I have in my house. As it is today is how God is handling it........let it go. Love people for who they are......do not judge.

Huh. Well, first I'd have to spend some time seriously reviewing what that meant and how that affected/effected me in every way. I'd have to revise my thought process and finish reading the Bible. (Oh, why must God have required so many tapestries of such-and-such length on a chair that must be gold here, but silver here, and so tall, and yea must it have all these other specs that are really boring...) *l* Then after reading it, I'd have to see how that tied in with my life in general, what the basic concepts were that were trying to be put across, and see about contacting God to find out what He thought about all of it.

If tomorrow's scientists proved conclusively that The Flying Spaghetti Monster DID exist, then we would all become Pirates.

If I had my wits about me, I would accept that science (the good old scientific method - not faith) had done it's job and demonstrated the existence of a being with powers of that have traditionally been ascribed to a god, but I would then want to know what makes this being worthy of worship?
Not going to kiss his bum just because he has a superior technology. I might fear that technology, but I thought gods wanted to be loved????

Well proving that god exists does not prove that the bible is the infallible truth of god. So, it wouldn't really effect me now would it? I don't believe god is a bad thing at all, it's the ignorant people who "interpret" that book who are the menaces.

I'd ask which deity; after all, world wide there are thousands of named deities I wouldn't automatically ~assume~ it was the christian one.
Even if a deity were empirically proved it would not change my life one iota. I live for humanity and would continue to do so, I don't feel the need to bend knee to anything. The only thing that would change is my assertion of whether the deity is a real entity.

then faith would not be required to accept god's existence, and I'd be fine with god's existence. God would then not be an object of religion but of science, so in a way it would completely abolish religion. It most likely would also change quite a lot of assumptions about god, and believers would most likely have to change quite a lot of habits too.
Though as a lot of creationists love to point out, that evolution is "just" a theory, would they then also love to point out that god is "just" a theory?
