What are your thoughts?

Hi @Belac Enrobso
I find that proof of God depends on agreeing on definitions and believing based on faith these describe or point to the same Source.
I find the real factor in deciding proof or not is forgiveness or unforgiveness.
As long as people can forgive differences between groups
then views of God can be reconciled, whether theist or nontheist.
And as long as people cannot forgive conflicts
this will also correlate with inability to resolve conflicts,
even between people of the same groups or beliefs.
I believe statistics can show this pattern of
correlating forgiveness with reconciling views of God
and correlating unforgiveness with inability to resolve conflicts.
and that these patterns repeat regardless what religions people are.
Some other factors I would add to the proof process
1. proving spiritual healing overcomes mental and physical ills
can show the impact of forgiveness on healing and reconciliation
2. proving that spiritual healing and forgiveness applied to
solving political and economic problems also provides proof
that forgiveness correlates with problem solving
so this eliminates the issue of people lacking faith that it works
