There is nothing that supports in a scientific way the existence of a Supreme Being. I wish there were. It would make for a lot more believers.

Thought about this - and I tend to disagree. Those people would no longer be believers - they would be "knowers".

If the existence of God could be objectively proven, He would no longer be God - He would be a tyrant in possession of supernatural powers. Right now, it is a matter of free choice for a man whether to believe in God, or not - or, to have doubts.

If we *knew* for a fact that God exists, we would no longer be free - we would have no choice but to serve and obey. Since - at least in the Judeo-Christian tradition - God created man in His image and free, it appears that for God to reveal Himself in an evident manner would be inconsistent with His own nature.

Sorry for wandering off into a bit of home baked Theology... :)
