Now, to prove that there is a God you would need to provide evidence that the impartial researcher could never refute, this has never been done, and never will be.
So evidence for God never will be proven? This topic is in a forum known as Bible Study. There are several ways to study the Bible.

You should have looked up 'objective'.
In this context it means: Uninfluenced by personal prejudices or emotions.
In what context? Bible Study? Some people who study the Bible are influenced by emotions and also by prejudices. Are you not prejudiced in regards to "proof?"

I trust the dictionary in regards to definition of concepts. The concept of a Bible study does not have to be empirical. It often can be biased one way or another. That is the heart of debate. Why should the Bible be judged based solely on some humans wisdom? Perhaps it is subjective. To some, it is objective as we believe in a literal King. To others, the literal king on the throne of their concepts, beliefs, and ideas about knowledge is themselves and collective human wisdom.

And I think that is precisely WHY Phatboy doesn't "trust" your views. He doesn't trust you to say what he wants to hear. If you look back on the thread you'll see that he refuses to check his apologetic sources at all. He won't even look up the Bible verses they refer to.
I may not agree with all of Brian or your views, but that hardly means I don't trust you as unique individuals with another perspective. To me, study of the Bible is based on Jesus Christ.

I respect Brian, but I won't acknowledge the wisdom of an atheist/agnostic "theologian." My whole point is that wisdom is not human originated.
Perhaps I was a bit too personal here, and if so, I apologize. I do respect you, Brian. I just argue and discuss ideas a bit too emotionally at times

Who would I check with?
