Let's say that science proves that God exists

[Anymouse]

Here's a fun one…
Let's say that science proves the existence of God - A perfect logical proof (with evidence) that clearly states that the universe was created by a creator. Nothing more, nothing less...

What will happen to the people on earth?
What religion would they cling to?
Would there be world peace?

In the instant that (any) god is proven to exist through empirical evidence and repeatable testing, the belief ceases to be faith and becomes science.

The religious would be confused. Many are already confused by science and think it evil (though have no problem using its benefits).

Warfare is not dependent on religion; there are perfectly good secular reasons to invade another country and kill its inhabitants. Warfare in the name of religious belief would cease, of course, because religious belief would cease.

The vast majority of people on Earth go about their daily lives and routines as if they were atheists anyway. They are not monastic hermits that only spend their time in contemplative prayer. The actual amount of time devoted to religious faith out of a twenty-four hour day is vanishingly small. All that would happen to those folk is they would gain a few more minutes for something constructive.

For the fanatic that cannot be swayed anyway, any "proof" would be equally meaningless if it did not square with his fanaticism.

The religious do not need proof: they believe without evidence anyway. It is unlikely that much would change in religion.
