Hypothetical: God is disproved

[All Along The Watchtower]

What a strange question. I think it is pretty clear that, regardless of what you think of the Christian tradition, that God as described in Scripture is both the most universal being imaginable (to the extent that we can imagine God) - in the sense that nothing in the universe exists outside of God (and therefore, human beings can no more be in a universe outside of God's presence than fish can be in an ocean outside of the presence of water) and the most personal being imaginable (that whole Jesus thing, for example....). How does one "disprove" the universe - or more specifically, the universe and everything outside of it that we don't and can't know - or the personal subjective experiences of any individual human being? (That's a rhetorical question, BTW.)

The problem with the sort of Western atheists (who inevitably, worship at the altar of Science) who ask questions like this is that they can't accept that a lot - the vast majority, in fact - of what is "out there" is not only unknowable, but that it is perfectly rational behavior for people to speculate about and even believe in things that are not seen. That's what the religious call faith, and that faith is what gives religious individuals and communities a sense of trust, comfort, belonging, confidence, optimism, purpose, as well as cognitive and emotional closure. These are perfectly natural and normal things for human beings to desire: denying the spiritual longings, fears, hopes, and dreams of human beings is essentially denying a major part of human experience.
