Science, faith, and theists

[Ben Davis]

I sense we might be at the end of this particular line of conversation, so I shall leave it there unless anyone does chip in with ideas of specific experiments.

...erm, my post, Michael?

Sure, the prima facie evidence (not proof) of a creator is that there is something rather than nothing.

That's a shoddy first-pass analysis. If this is representative of your standard of evidence, you're not even going to get your supposition off the ground. 2 main points here:

1. You've shifted the goalposts from 'god' to 'creator' (remember, your statement is 'God exists'). Further, because yours is a specific Catholic god, your evidence would need to account for discrete, defined attributes of that god.

2. That's not evidence for a creator, just for existence. For it to be evidence of a creator, you would need to demonstrate 2 things:
i. that application of design (a.k.a. creation) is necessary for existence
ii. that design was applied

1) Everything that has a beginning has a cause
2) The universe has a beginning
ergo
The universe has a cause.

So the cosmological argument is your next piece of 'evidence'? That's not evidence, it's not even a coherent argument.

Remember all that Ben wanted was some evidence to support a hypothesis. That has duly been supplied

None of your 'evidence' supports any hypothesis let alone yours. Please, try again.

We can't help you with suggestions for experiments until you address these points.
