could the scientific method be used to prove or disprove the existence of God?

[coloumb]

Yes, but only if you follow rules of a time machine:

[1] You can't exit the time machine
[2] Your not visible to anyone wherever you appear [this prevents you from interacting with anything]
[3] It's not portable and will always appear well enough above the ground to prevent you from teleporting inside a rock for example.
[4] You can go back in time, but you can't change anything - you can only observe
[5] You can come back from the past, but only up to the same time when you time machine left - this prevents you from knowing what the future is.
[6] Time Machine can withstand the effects of being in "space" - but not for more than 24 hours [this is in case you go back before the Earth was formed]
[7] You can't video tape or record anything, but you can draw/write down. People will just have to trust you.

Therefore - you could go back in time and find out if anything in the bible was real or if it was just an interpretation of what one or many people saw, remembered, or stories that were passed down through generations [I recently watched Penn and Teller B.S. about the bible on Youtube]. You could also see how/when the Earth was formed, the moon, planets, etc.

so there..yes science will prove that God was just a magician who had a gift for talking the talk.

If any gods did exist, then it should be provable using the scientific method under many circumstances.

However, since there is no evidence of any sort to suggest the existence of any gods, it should simply just be assumed that gods are probably not there.

This is the best answer really. Just ask yourself if a god is necessary given current scientific knowledge. It is increasingly apparent that there is no need for Him for things to be as they are. Why then, do we continue to force him into the equation? It's obviously to serve our own purposes rather than to learn anything real about the world.

It's sad that you believe Satan's lies about man not needing God.

Good thing some of us Christians have experience God's touch personally so no amount of BS lies is gonna work.

Sadly many that fall themselves Christians don't have a faith like that.

So who is Satan speaking through? The people who spend their lives rigorously seeking out knowledge about the real universe, or the people who think they already had that knowledge for no verifiable reason?

I think as we discover more truths about science we will learn more about the existence of God. I doubt it will ever completely prove God's existence.

What does science need to reveal to prove or disprove?

What does God need to reveal? Many people will say they have proof via experience but I doubt that will ever satisfy somebody looking to disprove his existence via science. They want something you can touch/see or reproducible in a lab.

So, show me on the doll where god touched you? D: :hmm:

FYI, I'm giggling at myself and playing with the monitor.

So, this god guy, does he have soft hands?

you can't explain it!

 

[1prophet]

I want to see this Christian method of proving God's existance.

The type of proof most people are looking for

“But Elijah replied to the captain, ‘If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and destroy you and your fifty men!’ Then fire fell from heaven and killed them all.”

Is that what you call it, a monitor?

Yeah, named after the lizard, it's vicious.

The Bible already has a test to find true God, why not just use that?

Get two bulls for us. Let them choose one for themselves, and let them cut it into pieces and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. I will prepare the other bull and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD. The god who answers by fire--he is God." Then all the people said, "What you say is good."

I like the test of, "if I were born in country[X] would I have had every fair opportunity to come to know god[Y]."

Run that through for every combination, and the ones that come up with yes for an answer, I will be willing to take a second look at.

Unfortunately that test fails for every major religion I know of. Not quite fair to tell some Iranian they are going to hell because they werent lucky enough to grow up in a christian family, or even a country that encouraged freedom of religion.
