I have no idea what just happened but let me finish.
You cannot prove that something DOES NOT exist. No matter what you believe you cannot prove that the other is truly wrong in this case. The best you can say is that it has never been witnessed or repeated. The god question has existed as long as people have been around to ask questions be it 6000 years or millions of years. If you believe in something then you think its real. There is no way around that. That is why the biggest, smartest, most articulate scientist in the world can argue all they want but they cannot say with absolute certainty that god does not exist. Can't be proven.
I myself think simply this. I do not believe in a god. However, I couldn't tell you why things like "miracles" happen. Or what happens after death. Or who created the universe if it wasn't a "BIG BANG". But at the same time I can also say that there is no proof anywhere that the god you believe in is the right one. You can believe in God, Allah, Jupiter, Ares, Isis, Shango, etc. There is nothing that says you are right and the others are wrong. I think once people get that through their heads then a lot will be settled. Believe in what you want just don't tread on me.
