Re: Can you look at religion scientifically, and still believe God exists? - July 20th 2009, 05:50 PM

Simply put, there is no proof. Honestly, for many things in life, you will end up being very disappointed if you want undeniable proof. And, as a Christian, I really don't have a problem with that. As soon as the Christian faith is proved empirically true, it would really cease to be faith in my mind.

As far as miracles, I do believe that they occur nowadays. Though, I don't think that miracles have to occur outside of the laws of science (Although I think they can and do). The plagues brought down on Egypt in Exodus, for example, are an instance where I think a miracle was actually ordinary things with extraordinary timing and intensity.

If you are looking for irrefutable proof, I don't think that you will get much from the Christian faith. I consider myself somewhat of an apologist (i.e. someone who will defend the faith), and I find my faith to be completely rational. Proven, no, but rational yes.
