    Perhaps, but I honestly believe that a deity's existence will never be proven.

    What is more likely to happen, however, is that a being claiming to be a god may make an appearance one day. As it will turn out, though, the being will be nothing more than a highly evolved alien species with particular powers derived from higher brain functions.

    Same here, it is very unlikely. But since I consider myself an agnost I won't say never.

    You, like most humans, are hung up on what you "believe", instead of what really is.
    It has been mathematically proven that there is a god. It's also been mathematically proven that there isn't a god. Which only shows that humans aren't very good at math.
    But everything that exists is a mathematical equation. You are the sum of the equation that makes you, you.

    False. If that were a true statement, everyone would believe without question.

    Also, if it was a true statement, every mathematician would believe in a higher power. Obviously, they all do not.

    Theory of relativity and quantum theory don't get along very well. If you try to somehow put them together, somewhere along the line you get an infinite sum of infinities as a result.

    Some people have decided that this is the mathematical proof of god's existence rather than at least one of those two theories being incomplete.

    The theory is so ridiculous, one might as well claim it is the mathematical proof of unicorns and whatever other unproven concepts one wishes added to the formula.

    Sure, why not. It's infinity. It could be anything.
    I bet it's an infinite number of gods ;).

    That is one of the fundamental problems with theism. Cannot explain it? It must automatically be God, then.

    I've never before heard that the definition of god is: sum of infinite number of infinities.

    However it is the one I like the most. A nice equation. Yes, I can call it god, no problem ;)

    Clearly, which does not make it any more real due to your conviction.

    Well, the mathematicians say it's real...or way past real...;)

    PS: I'm talking about infinity.

    I guarantee there is not one respectable and reputable mathematician who believes that math proves God's existence.

    In that you are wrong. Even mathematically you are wrong here. Let's say there are 20 million mathematicians worldwide and about 0.000.... oh never mind.

    "If" everyone new the truth, they wouldn't "believe", they would "know". See what I mean about focusing on what you "believe"?

    Semantics. Clearly, everyone still does not know, thus making your assertion false.

    I added a PS to my previous post. I was talking about infinity.

    BWAH HA HA! Sure, like your "beliefs" are what's true. Kinda like all the religious fanatics that say that it's THEIR "beliefs" that are true. You are no different than them. Tunnel vision. Your obstinate behavior makes it pointless to continue.

    Considering the lack of evidence proving God's existence, I am very confident in stating that my belief in very true. After all, one does not believe that unicorns are real when there is no evidence of their existence.

    When one makes an extraordinary claim that something exists when there is no proof of its existence, then it is that person's beliefs which is under intense scrutinization.
