What would be evidence enough for you to say, "yes religions or spiritual teaching is true" or " yes now i understand God do exist"
What is those evidence? And how do you think they would prove spiritual teaching more then it already does?
I had a long post typed out, but I deleted it because I had a revelation: I don't think that the evidence to establish God could possibly exist.
Maybe I'm wrong, but here's my thought process:
It's simple enough to say what it would take: enough evidence that a worldview that includes God is more consistent with reality than any other worldview. In practice, though, what would that mean?
- the idea of God already has a number of logical problems that require theists to do mental gymnastics and invent stopgaps to address those problems.
- because of these problems, it would be difficult - or perhaps impossible - for theistic worldviews to become the most reasonable worldview just by piling more evidence on. God is so far behind that it seems like he could never catch up.
- establishing God isn't just a matter of refuting some other godless worldview, because there are uncountably many godless worldviews.
So I can think of many ways that my own personal worldview as it stands right now could be refuted, but I can't think of anything I'd encounter where accepting God would be the best way to address the disconnect between my worldview and reality.
IOW, I can think of plenty of situations where I might see something and say
"I can't reconcile that with my skeptical worldview! I'll have to abandon my beliefs or accept a new belief to address it. I guess I'll have to accept that magic (or time travel, or aliens, or spirits, etc.) is real."
... but whatever new thing I accept, whether it's magic, time travel, aliens, or spirits, is going to be easier to swallow than magic, time travel, aliens AND spirits, all of which I'd have to accept in order to believe in one particular magical, time-travelling alien spirit (i.e. God).
So imagine me in the position that I do agree that my worldview is missing something, so I accept that magic is real. What could I possibly see or experience that couldn't be explained by magic? Why would I ever see that would convince me that materialism AND magic together aren't enough to explain what we experience? What need would we have to make the leap to God?
