I am a man of science, rationale and logic. Show me scientific proof ( or any proof ) of God or that Bible is word of God and I will believe. You can pray to your God to talk to me and make me believer as his "word of God" just makes me shake head and laugh.
Catch 22 it seems.
God asks us to have faith in Him and test his word to get our answers.
What sort of test would it be if He gave us our answer and then we did what was asked?
It's not faith then, but knowledge. It's pretty easy to do what we know is the way to do something.
Also we don't learn anything about ourselves that way.
I believe we are here to figure out who we are, and learn how to be like Him while we are here.
If we refuse to do something until it's proven we won't progress, learn, or grow.
Also if everyone did nothing until they knew with scientific proof that something was the best/right thing to do, nobody would do anything.
You talk about scientific proof and being a man of science, and yet you refuse to apply those same methods to a belief in God.
Test out the "hypothesis/theory" (in your mind) of God by doing the things taught in the books claimed to be the word of God.
Observe, record, adjust, retest, rinse, repeat. (has to be sincere)
It's easy to sit and do nothing and say it's not true, it's a fairy tale, marginalize, and point the finger and laugh.
It's a little tougher to put your money where your mouth is and try the experiment in true 100% sincerity and honesty.
You say show me proof... but what you are really saying is I don't want to, you can't make me. That's cool, you decision.
