What kind of experiments can we do to test the existence of god / gods?

No fruitcake bible answers please.

And miracles don't qualify as something that can be tracked and repeated.

Update:

Yes number 2.7. We're working on season 5 at the moment. It will premiere around June or July next year.

Vince has already begun season 6 scripts, but I'm not sure if that will air at all. He wants to give it a perfect ending. You know originally it was rumored that season 4 would be the last, but who knows. We don't even know ourselves how the story goes until we get the script for the next ep.

Update 2:

@Neat Guy - You didn't get the part about no bible answers did ya.

Update 3:

@Rob - Am I seeing this correctly? Logic? pffff.

    Why Everything in this universe is so perfect. Y earth have all the elements which a living organism needed? Y earth is exact distance from sun to get proper temperature for living conditions? Y there is ozone layer on earth? all planets have gravitational force buy y dont have?(some have more or some have less), Is this a coincidence that all substance combine together in exact ratio and make human body which thinks?? Do u really think all those who trust on god are mad ?? ...

    Do u know how oxygen, nitrogen, and all other gases, metals and salts form in universe and what is the probability of getting these in exact ratio and at same place?? There are count less logical facts which prove the existence of god.Take example of every famous scientist of history all say one like einstien, newton, hawking, darwin...as much as i read i tends towards god. if u read everyone's biography in detail. Everything is not a coincidence dear.... i just make u count the things of formations, the world of million is not running by people its running by a supreme power.

    Now You ask question if god exist y cant we see him or he help us?

    the reason is he does'nt see the things by the way u think. our soul is permanent and it changes body like we changes clothes. y cant we see it? have u ever seen more than 3 dimentions but in actual its 11 dimentional world according to new discoveries.

    Why do you worry without cause?

    Whom do you fear without reason?

    Who can kill you?

    The soul is neither born, nor does it die.

    Whatever happened, happened for the good;

    Whatever is happening, is happening for the good;

    Whatever will happen, will also happen for the good only.

    You need not have any regrets for the past.

    You need not worry for the future.

    The present is happening ...

    What did you lose that you cry about?

    What did you bring with you,

    Which you think you have lost?

    What did you produce,

    Which you think got destroyed?

    You did not bring anything,

    whatever you have, you received from here.

    Whatever you have given, you have given only here.

    Whatever you took, you took from God.

    Whatever you gave, you gave to Him.

    You came empty handed, you will leave empty handed.

    What is yours today,

    Belonged to someone else yesterday, and

    Will belong to someone else the day after tomorrow.

    You are mistakenly enjoying the thought that this is yours.

    It is this false happiness that is the cause of your sorrows.

    Change is the law of the universe.

    What you think of as death, is indeed life.

    In one instance you can be a millionaire, and

    in the other instance you can be steeped in poverty.

    Yours and mine, big and small

    erase these ideas from your mind.

    Then everything is yours and you belong to everyone.

    This body is not yours, neither are you of the body.

    The body is made of fire, water, air, earth, and

    ether, and will disappear into these elements.

    But the soul is permanent—so who are you?

    Dedicate your being to God.

    He is the one to be ultimately relied upon.

    Those who know of his support are forever

    free from fear, worry and sorrow.

    Whatever you do, do it as a dedication to God.

    This will bring you the tremendous experience of joy and life-freedom forever.

    Einstein came up with an equation e=mc^2. If we designate e° as the initial energy in the universe, m° as the initial mass of the universe and assume the mass of the universe is not zero we can rearrange this equation to be e°/m°=c^2. As far as we know, "c," the speed of light is a constant, but we also know mass is constantly converted to energy as the universe ages. We have a problem. The equation on one side says the ratio of energy to mass in the universe is constant, but we know it is not. A solution comes from recursive mathematical operations, if you take the ratio of energy to mass in the universe at a short period of time after the initial reading and average it with the initial reading and do this recursively, the result converges on the initial reading if the change is small.

    How does this help us? The ratio converges on the initial result as long as we keep adding energy and mass to the universe at the initial ratio. In fact, this is what we observe. At the edges of the observable universe, energy and mass appear to be being added at the initial ratio as the observable universe expands.

    We still have a problem; there is some deviation from the initial reading. Is this permissible? Yes, under the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle an observed reading can deviate from the actual reading in inverse proportion to the time period of observation, but we have an infinite period of time to do the observation, therefore the deviation has to converge on zero at some infinite time. Under the assumptions of this derivation, this means the universe has to keep expanding.

    What does all this have to do with God? Remember, we were doing averaging. In order for the energy and mass of the universe to be able to be averaged, every part of the universe must have some connection to the rest of the universe. In other words, the universe must act as a single entity. This sounds very much like the definition of God to me.

    First you have to define what you mean by "god"

    If by god you mean the creator - then we creations are the proof

    “God is not a being or an entity. God is the great positive force, the collective positive force of all that is. To call god an entity and especially to personify god is to limit the concept.” God is the universal consciousness. Everything is god. God is all there is. We are all part of god. All the universes combined are part of god.

    If you mean the "god" described in the bible then it is actually highly advanced aliens as described by Zecharia Sitchin.

    "Working from the same archaeological discoveries, artifacts, and recovered records as archaeologists and linguists have for two hundred years, Sitchin propounds – proves, in the opinion of this author -- that the Anunnaki (Sumerian: “those who came down from the heavens”; Old testament Hebrew, Anakeim, Nefilim, Elohim; Egyptian: Neter), an advanced civilization from the tenth planet in our solar system, splashed down in the Persian gulf area around 432,000 years ago, colonized the planet, with the purpose of obtaining large quantities of gold. Some 250,000 years ago, the recovered documents tell us, their lower echelon miners rebelled against the conditions in the mines and the Anunnaki directorate decided to create a creature to take their place. Enki, their chief scientist and Ninhursag their chief medical officer, after getting no satisfactory results splicing animal and Homo Erectus genes, merged their Anunnaki genes with that of Homo Erectus and produced us, Homo Sapiens, a genetically bicameral species, for their purposes as slaves. Because we were a hybrid, we could not procreate. The demand for us as workers became greater and we were genetically manipulated to reproduce. " http://www.world-mysteries.com/pex_2.htm

    Hi! I'm a pastor, but I'll refrain from "fruitcake"-isms. There are no experiments we can perform. The best/only test is logic. Given the evidence (real evidence, not just theories and scraps here and there), what makes the most sense? Use Ockham's Razor. What is the simplest answer? Go with that.

  • How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer.
  • The evidence is all around you

    Can we help it if you're not open-minded enough to see it?

    The Bible proves itself to anyone who sincerely reads it

    But if you dismiss something before you give it a chance, then how can you expect your question to be answered?

    You're not looking for answers that disagree with your preconceived point of view though, are you?

  • 9 years ago

    None.

    You may as well ask "what experiments can we devise to test the existence of Leprechauns?"

    Than again I did see an episode of Destination Truth on SciFi where they went to Ireland to investigate Leprechaun sightings.

    Creation and Conscience, to start with.

    Romans 1:18-20 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. (19) For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. (20) For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

    Supernatural ones...

    Make a bunch of claims based upon an ancient book of selected compiled stories...

    Then evaluate them by just how 'believable' they are...

    Then create different groups of followers based on the 'faith and beliefs' of those followers...

    Followers can then jump from one group to another as their 'faith and beliefs' lead them while proclaiming those of the other groups can proseed to areas of eternal torment for not following them...

    Simple... of. it's already been done? Sorry...

    IMHO

    I conducted an experiment with mathematical sequences using pen and paper and It turns out that God does in fact exist. In the minds of the delusional that is.

  • 9 years ago

    You can not. It's the nature of science itself. The link below is from an atheist site, so don't think it's "bible answers"
