Please Clarify
Interesting post, but it doesn't seem to address the question "Is God Dead or Alive?" or are you arguing that the question is scientifically irrelevant?
Your statement:
I question practical science’s insistence that things that actually happen leave evidence.
seems to be more of what your post is about and not really discussing whether God is dead or alive.
If you want to discuss that the question is scientifically irrelevant, then it needs to be made more obvious in the title and the opening paragraph and your concluding statements.
If you want to discuss whether "things that actually happen leave evidence" or not, then the title needs to reflect that intent.
Then you write:
have two more questions which might seem to stray from the subject but, to my mind, cannot be divorced from a belief derived from empirical experience and observable reality.
So I need clarification as to what you specifically want to discuss. Left as is, I can see this branching off in many directions.
Thanks

Re: Please Clarify
Thank you for the background. It helps me understand you a bit more, but doesn't really clarify your intent for the discussion you are proposing in Message 1.
Please address some of the questions I asked in Message 2.
I feel the topic has potential, but needs work.
You can edit the original message if you decide to make changes.
Thanks

Well this is considerably different than what you started with. All very good questions and each a possible topic.
There are a few topics still open concerning the existence of God which aren't too old.
Does God negate the need for his own existence?
Can the Christian God exist without the Bible?
Proofs of the existence of God The originator of this thread has not posted since July 2005
IF these threads do not give you the avenue you need, then the next step is to pick one of your questions and present your side of the argument.

Make Decision
Let me know when you decide on which question you wish to build your argument or if you still want to start a new topic.
Thanks AdminPD
