Ok, interesting tangent: How could God prove himself? Well... let's say he chose different methods according to the community/person. Maybe he would work through people we already trust/acknowledge as leaders... maybe we'd turn on the news and Kevin Rudd would be making a public announcement... and then we turn the channel and Queen Elizabeth is doing the same thing... and then on another channel Barrack Obama is on CNN I guess if the G20 leaders were all convinced then we'd all have to sit up and take notice. Then what?
Ok, i wouldn't be convinced by a public statement by any of these people, so a new method would be needed for me.

I know there is a word to describe it but i can't remember what it is, a person who needs to actually have evidence for something before they believe it. So nothing exists, unless i have concrete evidence for it existing. I am kinda on the edge of believing in that philosophy. People lie too often, or don;t hold require the same degree of 'proof' (as I), and so they may accept something without examining the evidence to the same degree as i would.
