I have been pondering my own existence lately and I have come to the conclusion I am a Christian Agnostic. That is, I believe in God, but I realize there is no way of proving one way or other His/Her/Its existence, scientifically. Whenever a proof pops up, another turns up as well disproving the existence of God. And I am fine with that, An all-powerful being could erase His own evidence quite handily. And some feel that is deceitful and in a way it is, but I think it shows how much this being ( If they exist )cares for us. Lets say we had absolute incontrovertible evidence that God exists. Like a street address "Second Star to the Right, and striate on till morning." The only plus side I can think of is that it would put the worlds space program in hyperspeed. But other then that we would be always wining and bitching, asking God to do stuff. Okay we do that anyway, But suppose He/Her It DID those things? How would we learn anything? It would be the worst case of breaking the Prime Directive EVER. Yes I realize there is so much suffering in the world and breaks my heart, but these were brought on by our mistakes it is we who must learn how to fix them. I think God works in both small extraordinary ways ,but mostly very ordinary HUMAN ways. To quote Futuramas God/Spaceprobe, "If you do things right, people won't know you've done anything at all."
In conclusion, I have faith God exists, but as an act of trust to a poor screwed up wonderful humanity, he has made sure we must find things out for ourselves. As well I am sure that I am unsure scientifically. Otherwise how could it be called faith?Just like I have faith that mankind will work many of its problems out, even though I have seen unfortunately little evidence. In my doubts I find strength, and the conviction to carry on.
