I'm having a little trouble with the plausibility of science proving the existence of God, but okay -- I'll play.
As an atheist, if I found the evidence truly convincing, I guess I would become a follower of God, provided that God actually wanted followers and His/ Her rules actually made sense. I mean, if all I have to do is stop eating Jello and follow the golden rule, I'm in. If I have to sacrifice babies, I'm out. I don't care what the penalty is.
And, of course, should any evidence come up later to cast doubt on God's existence again, I'm going back to being an atheist.

If science proves there is a god, like good scientists must, they will have promulgated a clear definition of what they mean by the word "god." Then, depending on what definition they use, I will believe or not believe. Or perhaps I will find it true but trivial.
Actually, there are plenty of definitions of God which can be proven, at least by logic. But the relationship to that which is described in the Bible is rather remote. There are some good attempts at doing exactly that in "What the Bleep Do We Know?" and earlier books like "The Book on the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are" by Alan Watts and "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" by Gary Zukav.

I think the desire for direct worship is a human concept . I can't see any true god (or even a non-psychotic great world leader ) wanting people to 'worship them' Appreciate , say "Thank you , wave candles while he rocks out , ...sure . Would I follow this god ? First question I would ask is :"Why did he let life on earth here suffer for so long ?".
And I am sure science will someday discover SOMETHING they can define as "god" . Sagan said "God could be defined as all that exists inside of and outside of the known universe" OK by me . Someone else said "god" is dog spelled backwards . Also OK by me .

I think that if you believe there is only one God, then if you discovered the existence of a God who wants completely different things than you previously thought God wanted, you would have to conclude that you were mistaken about God's wishes, but not necessarily that you were worshiping the wrong God, because how can you worship the wrong one if there's only one?
And what if science proved that God really wants us to sacrifice babies in church while singing Beegees songs? I just don't think I could do that.

Take a look around you from where you sit. You will notice that everything in the room is ‘made’:
the walls, the upholstery, the ceiling, the chair where you sit, , the glass on the table and countless other details.
None of them happen to exist in your room of their own accord.
Even the simple loops of the carpet were made by someone: they did not appear spontaneously or by chance.
If, one day, somebody came forward and said that raw iron and coal came together to form steel by chance, which in turn constructed the Eiffel Tower again by chance, would not he and those who believed him be regarded as insane?
The claim of the theory of evolution, the unique method of denying the existence of God, is no different than this.
According to the theory, inorganic molecules formed amino acids by chance, amino acids formed proteins by chance, and finally proteins formed living creatures again by chance.
However, the probability of a living creature being formed by coincidence is less than the probability of the Eiffel Tower being formed in the same manner,
because even the simplest human cell is more sophisticated than any man-made structure in the world.
How is it possible to think that the balance in the world came about by coincidence when the extraordinary harmony of nature is observable even with the naked eye?
Therefore, there should be an owner of the balance visible everywhere from our body to the farthest corners of the inconceivably vast universe.
So, who is this Creator that ordained everything so subtly and created all?
He cannot be any material being present within the universe, because His must be a will that existed before the universe and created the universe thereupon.
The Almighty Creator is One Whom everything finds existence, yet Whose existence is without any beginning or end.
Religion teaches us the identity of our Creator Whose existence we discover with our reason.
Through what He has revealed to us as religion, we know that He is Allah, the Compassionate and the Merciful, Who created the heavens and the earth from nothing.
Just take for eg. the human cell, the dna's think about it. you can have an encyclpedia just on that
It is preposterous to claim that all these have come into existence by chance with no aim or purpose. No living being has come to exist through its own accord or effort. No coincidental happening can ever result in such complicated systems.
All of this evidence leads us to the conclusion that the universe works with a certain ‘consciousness’.
What, then, is the source of this consciousness?
Surely it is neither the living nor the non-living beings in it.
The existence and glory of Allah reveals itself in countless proofs in the universe.
In fact, there is not even a single man on the earth who will not accept this evident reality from the heart.
Yet they still deny it ‘in iniquity and arrogance though their souls are convinced thereof’ as stated in the Qur'an. (Surat an-Naml, 14)

i've got self belief it substitute into Albert E who pronounced that faith and technology have been headed on a collison course in direction of the certainty. i can't think of of one scientist who has proved the existence of the authentic God descibed interior the holy bible. are you able to? it truly is my summation. know-how from journey right here is data that God exist! on Sept 15 2005 we witnessed a cloud interior the sky supernaturally rework into an historical relic go. right here’s data from the bible: The cloud could properly be traced to God's excellent and actual visual attraction. And there substitute into the appreciate of the Lord appearing interior the cloud Exodus sixteen:10 The go that's the ability of God (1Cor a million:18). may be proved authentic and could bring about compliment, glory and honor while Jesus Christ is revealed(1Pt.a million:7). ok how authentic is a cloud you notice them accepted suitable, till one night one will become a go, Now you get carry of a few thing to paintings with. what's your accountability at this factor to share your testimony suitable. The journey substitute into an awaken of the middle and not something wanting organic uncooked hearth and brimstone! A snap shot of heaven! it is interior the verse “at that factor they are going to see the Son of guy coming in a cloud with ability and massive glory“.(Luke 21:27). and what extra desirable image than the go describes the ability of God. not is faith precis yet a substantial fact. The question remains what dose it mean?

For any being at this primitive stage of evolution with a limited amount of external and internal sensory perception it would be impossible.
If, some highly evolved beings were to suddenly comprehend or confront a higher existence they would probably cease to exist in this universe and transcend to a place even more complex.
