<< Belief in God is a faith based notion not a hard facts based issue. Based on arguments like these, attempting to prove God is a fool's errand.>> Exactly, it is a fools errand to try and prove God based on hard facts as there are none. There are none because he doesn't exist. So smart people make up rationalizations for this problem. Like taking an allegorical interpretation of the bible, when the literal stuff was disproven. We can figure out how old the universe is and all agree with it and if there were a god we would see some evidence and there is none. But people always make up stuff! 10,000 religions says so and countless myths. And Tillich and Kirkegaard are both Christain's. And very good at explaining why no proof is not important. What do you think they would say? Good lord. "God does not exist, he is eternal. If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe." Kirkegaard. "God does not exist, He is the Ground of existence." Tillich According to these philosophers, existence is the hard proof of God. However, those with no faith are bound to struggle with alternative explanations, which never seem to pan out.
