Bubba - I suggest you go back and look at your posts. You continually brought up God from post one. And any time I strayed it was in direct response to one of your questions or comments.

In one final attempt to explain it to you. When someone talks about God with me, I understand them to be talking about what I call the singularity that is all the infinite possibilities in existance. The wording is different, but the meaning is the same. THe problem is most people are caught up in the words and the meaning gets lost. Just as when someone talks of the Great Spirit or the Zen void. The problem is that when I use my words they don't mean anything to say a Catholic. In the case of something like God, the best and closest example I can come up with is an emotion. We all know what love is. We understand it. We feel it. But to explain it......that is the hard part. We have come to a group concensus to call the feeling love (in english). When it comes to those great big things beyond us but that we all know and understand we still haven't come to an agreement of what to call it. That's all. Try to get past the words to the meaning and you'll see what I am saying.

Now, to try and find you the answer you want.
What would you consider proof? Without knowing what you will accept and what you won't I can't find the proof you want. In other words, what language do you want it in? Visual evidence? Scientific method that comes to a hard conclusion?
I'm asking since the fact that almost all religions tell similar stories is not enough for you (when it comes to that end of things) I would need to know what you would consider proof.
I'm not being sarcastic. I'm being completley serious. But I am going to tell you that if you don't know what you will accept as proof then you are unlikely to accept any answer. And then you will have to do what I suggested earlier and go have your religious experience or epiphany or solve that theoretical equasion and come back and explain it to us. I mentioned it before and you didn't like the answer. Sometimes there are things that you just know but to explain it......
Ever done tech support? Some people just don't get it no matter how many times or in how many ways you go over it.
