> dhw:What would I accept as valid evidence? I suspect that BBella is right, and it would need a personal experience to convince me. The overriding impression that has emerged from all our discussions is that arguments relating to the existence and nature of God are based on subjective interpretation of whatever information is available to us. You have agreed that belief is a matter of faith, and yet you get frustrated when someone tells you that your subjectively interpreted "evidence" requires faith to be believed!-Your discussion and mine with Tony is frustrating. He thoroughly believes that what he considers evidence is 'real' truth. It isn't. It requires interpretation of ancient texts, based on hearsay, and then an interpretation of the future events which may or may not have been foretold. The Jews in exile certainly planned to get back to Jeruselem, and they expressed wishes for that event, and they did get back. So? We all wish for things that finally come true. You are right to ask for a scientific proof. That is what I am attempting to show.
