I have found proof there is a God, and I am glad to share it.
-
I would cry!
-
Alright, I admit it THERE IS A GOD - I SAW HIM WITH MY OWN TWO EYES. and i don't lie, so dats gotta be proof enough for yall

"You want the TRUTH? You want the TRUTH? You can't HANDLE the truth!" : ))

g'day Binary j, Thank you for your question. I would tell the world. However, I would not expect everyone to believe me. It is a difficult thing to prove. Regards
-
I'd keep it to myself. I bet anyone who would really need to see it would deny it to the end anyway.
-
If I found out that God did not exist, I would pretend that God exists and I would still love the Bible, because I'd rather live the way genuine believers do than do those who pretend to be atheists in order to jusify their sin.
-
I actually think that this is a really good question. Where did you find it? Lol just kidding binary. Hmm. Well, I am a seeker of truth. I believe that though I may not tell the world, I would tell those who I came into contact with who seemed open enough to examine the merits of my argument. I would not waste my time shouting it from the rooftops, because I believe that this would be an act of futility, and my evidence would only be manipulated and used by those trying to better position themselves to accomplish their agendas. So in short, I would not tell the world, but I would not keep it a secret either. Peace.
-
Hmm ye i would tell people, but then others would say i made it up or would want 2 see for themselves it was true. People need something or someone 2 believe in i guess.
-
Oh I would keep my mouth shut. I would be assassinated if I came out with something like that.
-
It wouldn't matter. The ones who want to believe it, will. Those who choose to disbelieve it, will. Exactly like now.
-
What a great question! Assuming that definitive proof did exist, however unlikely that may be, then I would on the one hand feel a duty to tell the world, as I feel sorry for the millions of people whose lives are adversely touched by the religions who claim to the mouthpieces of this "god", but on the other hand, I would feel sorry as some people cling to their belief in "god" because it's about all they have. On balance, as this would probably fall under the heading of a scientific discovery (or is that non-discovery), I think the world should have a right to know.

If that is what was absolutely proven, beyond all possible doubt, then I would spread the truth faster than the plague. ... like Buddha said, "No one person can ever change the truth, but the truth, once learned, can and will change the person." ... in the meantime, like they say at S.E.T.I., "The absence of proof is not the same as the proof of absence."
-
i would say nothing. hope is a gift and i couldnt take that from someone.

I don't think I would hide it. The truth is important, and I'm always trying to make sure I know it. If I found proof(if that was even possible) that God did not exist, I certainly wouldn't hide it. I'm no moron, hiding something like that would be stupid. But I don't think there is a way to prove God doesn't exist. I mean, atheists have been at it for hundreds of years, and they are still thinking of little (if any) even slightly convincing arguments. All the highest intellectual minds from every time period have believed in at least "a higher Being." My point being; if someone found something so significant and impossible as proof against God's existence, hiding it should be unthinkable.
-
With all of the major advancements in science an event as large as finding definitive proof that God didn't exist, would have been found by now and broadcast to the world. Not to worry though, it hasn't been done and something tells me that it won't happen anytime soon.
-
Silly me, I would tell the world. Something like that is too important to hide! It would put the onus on us to be good because that's what is actually in all our best interest, and not to kill one another over whether Jesus, Muhammad, Elohim, Gautama, Vishnu, Krishna, Joseph Smith or L. Ron Hubbard... delivered the message of the one true God. But I'd fully expect the reaction Galileo got from the Church to his revaluation that the earth was NOT the center of the solar system -- and I'd expect it from every religion represented by the names in the list above and the elipsis following it.
-
I would probably tell everyone, or tell one person that I know would spread it =)
-
I wouldn't keep information that important to myself, I'd tell a few people and probably e-mail 60 minutes. My guess is so many people wouldn't listen or refuse to believe the facts. People have died for their beliefs and will continue to do so no matter what you present to the contrary. The folks that do have the capacity to understand facts and truths will then be free to observe and live their lives for what they really are.
-
Being doing that for a looooooooooooooooong time...
-
If there was definitive proof that God didn't exist, the world would already beware of it. I'm still waiting for the proof.
-
After I finaly pulled myself together I would share it with the world. However, I belive this "proof" can never be found because it dosen't exist.
-
I would never find such a thing because I have no need to go looking for it. I choose God, and that choice has served me well.
-
people have found "difinitive proof" that god doesn't exist for many years and have been prophesying that god doesn't exist and some people believe them. If i found such evidence i would tell someone but i wouldn't go around yelling and church-goers that there is no god.
-
hide in truth let people believe what they want
-
Question is invaild :) I did not underscore it anyway :)
-
They would never believe me anyway, I'm sure they'd say I was just trying to push my views onto them.
-
something like that... i'd have to say something....
-
i'd hide. nothing worse than taking a persons hope away.
-
I'll tell u right now- there is no god. case closed.
