Think and Reason is offering $1,000,000 if you can prove that God exists. There are conditions attached. But they do say: "All you have to do is prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that God exists. It is really that easy!"
Is there really this money sitting waiting?
Supposing I said I was God - and prove I exist (should be easy) - is the money mine?

"Modeling appears to be an extension of the same function as storytelling"
In much the same way that house-building is an extension of the act of putting rocks in piles. You might as well claim that mathematics is also just storytelling, since both frequently use pencils and paper.
Nearly all scientific hypotheses are expressed nowadays as mathematical models. The basis of the modern scientific method is falsifiability, which usually comes from making a testable prediction based on the current evidence and a speculative formal description of the effect to be tested. Hence a hypothesis will typically express an observable phenomenon in terms of a variable parameter that may or may not be controllable.
This is a model. It's not a story, or an expression of "inner" or "outer" realities, it is a simple, testable expression of a tentative scientific explanation of a set of phenomena.
And this is also frequently the weakness of scientific studies of religion/spirituality. The hypotheses that can be formed and tested are usually trivial or weak. In the recent example I linked to earlier, the hypothesis under test was that very religious people, who think of God as a real being, will use the same areas of the brain while praying that they do when talking to another individual. In other words, people who claim to think God is real often really do think God is real, and will talk (pray) to him like they would another real person.
Mildly interesting, yes. Ground-breaking, er, no. |

Some people will say answered prayer is the proof of God. But the skeptic has had no prayers answered. He doesn't believe that anybody ELSE has
I could give you the proof. History can give you the proof. Archaeology can proof it.
The existence of God can be scientifically proven. But prophecy is the real PROOF of God.
If One, in the Bible, speaking and claiming to be God, can make prophecies and tell what is going to happen in the future to nations, to cities, to empires, then if it actually happens in every case, and without a miss, you'll know that was a real God speaking. But prophecy is a taunting challenge that the skeptic dares not accept!

I am the author of "The Lottery Code" which was
published for FREE on the Internet on December 23,
2010.
If you doubt that God speaks to people IN OUR TIME,
now you can read my book, "The Lottery Code", and
judge for yourself.
It is available as a FREE download from Website:

But be warned, you will be fundamentally changed
by this book.
God bless you |

Prove God? Simple:
1.) The wave-function of the universe is self-collapsing. (true by definition)
2.) Self-collapsing wave-functions are minds. (Sir Roger Penrose's quantum mind model, Orch-OR)
Therefore the wave-function of the universe is a mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj8UdHuP5l8
And if you are curious to see that this mind also has all of the properties we would normally associate with God look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee2jtmhyO8Q  |

God definitely exists because who else would create the earth, your eyes, water and the whole universe |

In order, gravitational coalescence, evolution, oxidation and quantum fluctuation. |
