Rom: David's use of the word proof being roughly synonymous with corroborating evidence at some level of certainty, means by his lights he has proof for the existence of god. > > If David does not mean this then he should clarify his meaning of the word proof. I have tried to be fairly explicit in my use of the word. This in your view is overweighting.-I don't have absolute proof of God. No one can. What I use is Adler's proof beyond a reasonable doubt approach. I find the scientific evidence I have reviewed to overwhelming point to the existence of a greater power, presuming that the generally accepted findings are correct, but my mind will change if those scientific theories are modified enough. I go with the evidence as I see it.
