If we have a definition of God given to us that gives location and properties would there be any problem to verify through science that there is an actual existence of God? I do not mean where God is defined as an abstract(God is love)but as an entity? with characteristics that allow us to make statements of the abilities God supposedly possesses.
For instance,God is,as far as I can tell, accepted as having created the universe.The ability to do so necessarily leads to the question by which means did he accomplish this.It seems to me ,also, that the accepted answer is through supernatural means.Here we have the crux of the problem,I believe,in that a definition of supernatural is not forthcoming that would suffice to offer any way for someone to have gleaned Gods' existence.Merriam webster defines supernatural as
Main Entry: supernatural
Pronunciation: "s-p&r-'na-ch&-r&l, -'nach-r&l
Function: adjective
Etymology: Medieval Latin supernaturalis, from Latin super- + natura nature
Date: 15th century
1 : of or relating to an order of existence beyond the visible observable universe; especially : of or relating to God or a god, demigod, spirit, or devil
2 a : departing from what is usual or normal especially so as to appear to transcend the laws of nature b : attributed to an invisible agent (as a ghost or spirit)
Since supernatural relates to those items that are beyond laws of nature they would,I assume,not be amenable to the five senses or to any means of detection that was subject to the laws of nature.So God performed the act of creating a universe which,by definition,God is beyond.How do we account for this? Is there no evidence of the act of creation?How would we recognise it if we came across it? What biases must we overcome in order to arrive at a clear and unambiguous
acceptance of God as real? Now we have books written by men that give differing versions of history that point to a God but that none can define.Does this follow any pattern of logic?What good is it to say that we cannot disprove the existence of something because we haven't looked everywhere when what we are looking for,by definition, would not be locatable in the first place?
These are just rambling thoughts and I am sure that more the learned than me will be able to poke holes in them but this is how we learn best.
