What would satisfy you beyond the shadow of a doubt that belief in a higher form of Being was justified?

If a burning bush spoke directly to you, would you believe that bush was God?

If a spaceship landed on the White House lawn, would you believe in extraterrestrials? If they told you that they were our Gods, would you believe them?

If a voice entered your head and claimed to be the Great Spirit choosing you to represent it to humanity, would you believe it?

If your Great Grandmother appeared in a vision and said she was happy in heaven, would you believe it?

If your frying pan exploded the morning breakfast all over the ceiling into a detailed essay on how time began and warned of an earthquake in ten seconds and then an earthquake actually took place, would you believe that was proof of a God being?

What in the world (or beyond it) could possibly prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that an intelligent Being beyond our comprehension actually existed?

To those who base their disbelief upon arguments of evil and suffering, this hypothetical allows the Higher Power Being to explain that evil and suffering are not what they appear, and those who endure them are actually in a much better place than anyone not enduring them. Arguments that require Earth to be like Heaven are invalid because THIS AIN’T HEAVEN, and if it was, we’ve only demonstrated our ability to butcher it throughout history.

Can anything be proven? Does science set out to prove what is responsible or to INFER IT and then prove what isn’t responsible?
