Oh and one last thing, lets suspend man's current ability to prove something, and just say it could be proven...

I know that doesn't pass philosophical or scientific muster, but I don't want this to turn into an argument about what can not be proven and what can...I am just curious what people feel is important to be proven...

Like i said, purely a question...

Sorry. So many people use spelling and grammar as a real basis for attacking intellect it's hard to tell when someone is joking. Good to know you're just kidding though.

No apology needed.t happens to the best of us

Now, apropos to this board and the topic..
I would like to be able to prove gods do not exist so that people would realize and children would be raised with the idea that they alone are responsible for what they do and how they do it.
So that they would take both the blame and the credit.
The ramifications of this are myriad.

You think that rabid theist will take notice of the evidence that proves the non-existence of gods if you had it?

They ignore all evidence now, what makes you think they'll suddenly start taking notice of evidence?

Is it possible to prove a thing beyond anyone's ability to doubt? Proof and theory are somewhat interchangeable, since there is more than one way of looking at things.

That when you're dead you're really dead. I mean come on to believe that takes a lot of faith to believe which is just like those religious folks who believe their fairytales. Hell everybody got a fairytale they want to believe is true without a lick of proof.
