The greatest debate known to man can never be solved [until the Day of The First Resurrection - see Revelation 20:4-7 (NIV)] because of the power of human perception:

 - you cannot bring visual evidence of God, unless if you accept that exhibit A is his creation; 

 - also on the flip side of the coin, you cannot bring visual evidence of Science and Philosophy that contradicts the existence of God.

Debate on Existence of God

Sorry for the "hit and run" approach on the section alongside this one - But there is no way that God can be proved. He was [existing/ living/ being] before He started creating, therefore the creation cannot observe God's [existence/ living/ being]. We can only receive glimpses and understanding of what He allows us to perceive and understand.

The rest, dear friends, is True knowledge is man must believe [I could not help but to wax philosophical there - SEE PHILOSOPHY SECTION]

 The Existence of the Soul

There is an argument that religion and science contradict each other, yet Einstein said that: 

Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe-a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble.

The blind men and the elephant:
A Hindu fable

by John Godfrey Saxe

(SEE PICTURE OPPOSITE)

It was six men of Indostan

To learning much inclined,

Who went to see the Elephant

(Though all of them were blind),

That each by observation

Might satisfy his mind.

The First approached the Elephant,

And happening to fall

Against his broad and sturdy side,

At once began to bawl:

"God bless me! but the Elephant

Is very like a wall!"

The Second, feeling of the tusk,

Cried, "Ho! what have we here

So very round and smooth and sharp?

To me 'tis mighty clear

This wonder of an Elephant

Is very like a spear!"

The Third approached the animal,

And happening to take

The squirming trunk within his hands,

Thus boldly up and spake:

"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant

Is very like a snake."

The Fourth reached out his eager hand,

And felt about the knee.

"What most this wondrous beast is like

Is mighty plain," quoth he;

"'Tis clear enough the Elephant

Is very like a tree!"

The Fifth who chanced to touch the ear,

Said: "E'en the blindest man

Can tell what this resembles most:

Deny the fact who can,

This marvel of an Elephant

Is very like a fan!"

The Sixth no sooner had begun

About the beast to grope,

Than, seizing on the swinging tail

That fell within his scope,

"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant

Is very like a rope!"

And so these men of Indostan

Disputed loud and long,

Each in his own opinion

Exceeding stiff and strong,

Though each was partly in the right,

And all were in the wrong!

So, oft in theologic wars,

The disputants, I ween,

Rail on in utter ignorance

Of what each other mean,

And prate about an Elephant

Not one of them has seen!
