So you can show Physical Tangible evidence of God?

I can certainly show physical tangible evidence that human beings have been reporting to have a relationship with God since the dawn of recorded human civilization. Every culture on Earth has a word for God in their vocabulary and usually a "Holy Book" describing the relationship between God and man.

I can also provide evidence that human beings report meeting their creator during near death experiences. Nobody ever claimed to meet a string theory during a near death experience. :)

So no to what I asked though.
No Physical Tangible Evidence of God.

After all We have people that claim to see Fairies, Lepercons, Ghost, UFOs, Ect. Are you saying that they are all real also because people have written about them?

That is correct; no physical tangible evidence for God.

Jesus was the 'physical tangible evidence for God', as stated here:
John 1:18 said:
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
And He took that evidence with Him when He ascended back to Heaven.
After all We have people that claim to see Fairies, Lepercons, Ghost, UFOs, Ect. Are you saying that they are all real also because people have written about them?
I will count those as real, if they pass my Boolean Logic:

  1. How does the Bible mention them?
  2. How does science mention them?
Depending on the answers, is how I make my determination.

Ok, clueless Brit tiem, but isn't Albuquerque in New Mexico? Therefore you can't take a photo of a man with a wooden leg in Albuquerque, TX as there's no such place?

Although AV's answer is correct also ;)

As a Texan I'm a bit embarassed that it took a Brit to point that out.

Good eye brother!

And I am certain your answer is correct, you can't take a picture of a man with a wooden leg in a town that doesn't exist. (Even if you could take a picture of a man using a wooden leg.)

3. What two U.S. states comprise the northern, southern, eastern, and westernmost states?

(Only two states cover all four points!)

Ok Avvet it's been long enough... lol answer the question your driving me crazy...

Part of me says, Florida (southern/eastern) and Alaska (northern/western) but that ignores hawaii which is obviously our westernmost state....

You're killing me man.

It's Alaska & Hawaii

Hawaii Being the Most Southern State.
Alaska Being the Most Northern, Eastern & Western State.

Could you please define "physical tangible evidence" for me and explain how that applies to say "string theory" and "dark energy" theory?

After all We have people that claim to see Fairies, Lepercons, Ghost, UFOs, Ect. Are you saying that they are all real also because people have written about them?

No, not at all. People write about string theory and dark energy theory and all kinds of things. Actually, I'm sure "UFO's" (as in unidentified flying objects) do in fact "exist" and are "unidentified". That does not mean I believe that they are from another planet mind you, just that I'm sure people have seen "real things" in the sky that they could not personally identify.

So just writing about something isn't evidence, so then we can ignore your claim about reports of meting their creator during near death experiences also, after all they have the same amount of evidence as Fairies, lepercons, ghost ect.


Physical Tangible Evidence would be something that can be tested(Easily Or Hard) in a Lab setting preferably by anyone with the proper skills and they would get the same results.
Example Measuring the amount of energy imparted to an electron by a photon
Measuring the casimir effect
Measuring the Spin of a Photon.
Measuring the results of a collision in a super collider showing the different quarks and parts of a neutron as it breaks up into its constituent parts.

If you're asking for the same Evidence shown for String Theory as God, and You state God exist, surly you can provide the same Evidence for God as you're requesting for string theory right?

String theory relies upon the existence of *MULTIPLE* extra dimensions. What evidence is there that there are extra dimensions?
String theory posits extra dimensions. The existence of these extra dimensions is therefore supported by whatever evidence supports string theory.

Define "evidence". I never heard a human being claim to have a relationship with a string before.
Ah, the old "It's not a religion, it's a relationship!" chestnut. Haven't heard that one in a while...

I can certainly show physical tangible evidence that human beings have been reporting to have a relationship with God since the dawn of recorded human civilization. Every culture on Earth has a word for God in their vocabulary and usually a "Holy Book" describing the relationship between God and man.
Which is neither disputed nor relevant. Do you have any evidence that God exists? I could cite endless books on fairies, but that hardly evidences their existence.

I can also provide evidence that human beings report meeting their creator during near death experiences. Nobody ever claimed to meet a string theory during a near death experience. :)
Near death experiences hardly qualify as evidence. The brain is dying, and you want to trust that it can still accurately record information? Talk about faith...

There's a reason why eye-witness accounts aren't used in science. They're unreliable, inconsistent, void of detail, and easily manipulated. The human mind is a wonderful thing, but it's far too good at making things up.

I suppose I am defining it to mean that it must have some physical, tangible effect on me (or some human being).

The bottom line here is that there is a lot more evidence of God than for extra dimensions of space/time.
Such as?

For what it's worth, I would like to keep this a physics thread. We can debate the existence of God elsewhere, but let's not derail the thread.

How many strings are they in the theory? And how many strings do you have to pull to make it work? :)

From my Limited understanding there is two types of strings, Open & Closed loop strings.

The Aleutian Islands extend over the date line.

I suppose if you go by coordinates, it works. But it's not the Easternmost point in the true sense of the word: you can go East and find more land. Sneaky, is what it is.
