Earth - Proof of God?

[Cyberman]

Did you knock?(Did you repeat your effort)

Dozens if not hundreds of times over a period of years. I didn't seek God out of a desire to avoid divine retribution, I did so out of a desire to live righteously as God wanted.

This is the thing about these kinds of claims. They are presented as something testable - ask (or A/S/K, if you insist) and all will be revealed. When someone actually does as instructed and nothing happens, it's because they weren't sincere enough, or they gave up before getting an answer, or some other unjustified (since you weren't there) conclusion. But as CD said he repeated the experiment many, many times and with as much sincerity as he felt motivated him; and yielded the same results every time.

To put it in plainer terms, imagine a friend gave you the 'phone number of a specially-trained counsellor/adviser who you are told will help you through some crisis in your life. This adviser, you are told, has already helped thousands of anonymous people sort their lives out with free and perfect advice and all you have to do is give him a call. Consequently, you ring the number and wait, but all you hear is the ringtone over and over again. You let it ring while you wait for an answer. Hours later you are still waiting for the call to be picked up. You hang up and check with your friend who assures you the number is completely correct and urges you to keep trying, so next day you try again. And the next. And the next. "Dozens if not hundreds of times over a period of years."

What is the most reasonable conclusion that can be drawn from the experiment: your friend was lying to you; the adviser is in the office but for reasons of his own refuses to answer the 'phone; he's in the office but for reasons of his own cannot answer the 'phone; the adviser is not there.
