hypothetically speaking, if God did exist, what evidence would prove his existence?
Answer Hello, May I say, Thomas, that I certainly enjoyed reading your ‘Summa Theologica’? On a serious note, it is good to have a questioner who has seriously reviewed previous answers given to questions. It means the questions forthcoming are more likely to be thoughtful, which yours are. Let’s take each one: 1) The difficulty with this question is that the answer assumes there is one indisputable definition for God, which there is not. Obviously, if the definition is changeable, no single answer can be given (For example, a Socinian deity, such as a good Christian friend of mine embraces, would have a much lower threshold for ‘proving its existence’ since the Socinian deity is neither omniscient, nor omnipotent) To fix ideas, the late populist philosopher Joseph Campbell (‘The Power of Myth’, Anchor Books, New York, p. 56) once observed: “God is an ambiguous word in our language because it appears to refer to something that is known” James Byrne (‘GOD’, Continuum Press, 2001, p. 151
