But creation/destruction of planets would require major scientific testing. And I suppose if some being appeared on Earth and told everyone if you pray to me for food/energy you will get it, that would be a big step in converting many. But also likely is the more fundamentalist parts of different religions would claim this is an evil spirit offering gifts for your soul.That argument has had little to no effect on people when they are hungry or suffering. Missionaries sent to foreign lands often faced that, but whenever they offered free food, medicine e.t.c, people had no trouble converting. After all, you cannot worry about good and evil on an empty stomach or a broken back.
Anyway, back in reality, no such proof has yet arrived so not much point in fantasizing about what might happen, unless you plan on petitioning to god on how to prove himself.
Well, I suppose I must also be honest and say I dont think God would ever want to prove himself by arriving here on Earth. I dont believe God requires our belief and also believe God is an infinite being trying to experience a limited existence through us. He doesnt want anything and doesnt interfere in anything --- just wants to experience all realms of existence.
I just wanted some opposing viewpoints on what would be god proof for others and what i got has been pretty vague. Still the chat has been interesting. I'm signing off now.
