Conclusive proof of God

[Aoi Magi]

1. An infinite being would have to make a finite manifestation. This alone would cause some people to be unconvinced.
- Which he supposedly did all the time as per the bible.


2. Some would say that Jesus already made this manifestation but he is no longer accepted as proof since we only have written records of this. So this being would have to be with us eternally.
- He is no longer accepted because of a lack of evidence of his existence. Those "written records" are what lead people to disbelieve him in the first place due to all the inaccuracy, contradictions and errors.


3. I'm sure there are even believers who would claim that this being is actually the Devil(or evil spirit) trying to gain believers for himself.
- Believers already believe in whatever they believe, and are irrelevant in this context.


4. What form could this manifestation take since different religions have different concepts of God's form?
- The one which is the real one. He should be trying to show the truth not validate a particular religion.


5. Would any "miracle" that seemed supernatural be accepted as such or required to to be tested until it fit natural laws when it would no longer be supernatural? Maybe God would be seen as an expert illusionist not explaining his tricks?
- A "miracle" is something which is beyond the possibilities of nature. If there is a natural explanation, then there is no room for a supernatural.

6. My guess is that a definite proof such as this would cause the fanatical believer to lash out against the skeptics for their disbelief. Proof of God is like tug-of-war where neither side has definite proof so cannot pull the other over to his side. Would God be willing to be responsible for such activity? Ofcourse, I suppose he could use his omnipotence to protect those at risk.
- Disbelief is not a "side", it is a neutral position, so think of the skeptics as the audience of your tug-of-war, and the involved parties will be the different groups of religious followers, as it is they who actually hold the belief.
