RE: Bloody poll: would you worship a God whose existence was certain?

i like this question: it urges me to think "out of the box":
worship > a very old word from 1300 and on: weorðscipe (West Saxon) "condition of being worthy, dignity, glory, distinction, honor, renown," from weorð "worthy" (see worth) + -scipe (see -ship). Sense of "reverence paid to a supernatural or divine being" is first recorded c.1300. The original sense is preserved in the title worshipful "honorable" (c.1300).
Here it starts: Only from 1300 they talk about something "supernatural", not before.
If we go to Arabic/Hebrew they more talk about "bidda" (like our Dutch "bidden").
In every way we talk about to look up at something, greater than what we can understand.
Now the question is, what would we do if it "the existance was certain". I think that then we will understand "it/he/she" scientifically and that we had some science to have prooven it with dogma's.
So we could understand...
QED (quod erat demonstrandum, which was to be proven) it would be no longer possible to look up at it, or to worship it anymore.
The term from 1300 would have been susceptible to eradication...
No, i would not worship "a" God whose existence was certain.
[and now you can get crazy of me, "it" always was certain to me, only sometimes i cannot believe in "it"; this is NOT contradictory to the former]
