Ah, but you could dictate the method for the experiment itself; you evidently know the actions one must take to find the correct god, so you could lead others to that, I would think.

The problem I see is that you're intent on making your claim unfalsifiable: every time someone doesn't find precisely the thing you want them to find, you've got this ready made excuse of "they weren't sincere."

Well, that's great, but now your claim about god is officially drifting way beyond the scope of reason. It is actually possible to retract your claim so far that it becomes untenable, you know.

M-Theory of course Smile
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.

It seems that probability may be a part of the big picture. So mine will use the notion of "seeding"

Black holes are amazing accelerators. Every so often they will accelerate a particle to have the same energies of a universe like ours ... POOF, we are born.
