: You've challenged us to prove the existence of God apart from belief. I'll reverse the challenge to you or to anyone else: Without using faith or testimony, prove that atoms exist.

What do you constitute as 'proof', Gotch?

As I've said before, there is no ultimate proof of anything; only falsifiability; you can prove A =/= !A in a logical framework, but you cannot prove that A == B.

If you are prepared to accept the standard scientific evidence as 'proof', then I can show you any number of images taken from scanning tunnelling microscopes; which will resolve distances small enough to show atomic lattices.

If you won't accept the standard scientific definition of 'proof', then what are your exact criteria?

Gideon.
