I apolgize in advance if this is a repeat post, Lets say that you awake tomorrow to find out that the existence of a god has be proven ( lets assume for the sake of the sceniro that god's existence has actually been proven and it isn't just a false claim) would you change the way you are living your life? (also assume that god's "plan ,or whatever you want to call it, is unknown to us)

Not the way Im living, cuz I am living my ive in a good manner (as not having a god doesnt imply that one is a vandal with no morlas or values), but I would obviously change the way I think about god itself and the way I see things.

The mere proof of the existence of a supreme being, without any insight into his or her or its personality or "plan", would in no way change the way I'm living my life. On what basis could it possibly make a difference?

That's quite a big jump. Can you tell me how we would "know" that it's a "god" and not some super evolved alien from another planet? Would we verify this "proof" with the other god whose existence we've proven?

I believe that the existence of a true "god" can't be proven to a society, it has to be proven to each individual individually, and that's one thing Christians might say is so beautiful about the whole thing. So essentially what you're asking me, is "Let's say you, Mr. NotConvinced, wake up tomorrow and believe in the existence of a god?"

Well....if this were the case I could most certainly end up changing my life, and logically I don't know what I might end up doing as I see it virtually impossible for the assumption case to happen in the first place.

Based on what I've said, the adapted version of the question might be...."Say you wake up tomorrow and the existence of a god has been proven to 80% of the worlds' population, how would you react? Would you have a greater tendency to believe?"

To that I'd have to say.....Maybe.
