I have faith in the scientific process AND our ability to grasp the complex.

I feel that if the universe has non metaphysical origins, we will eventually come to understand how it occurred. it may take a very long time. It may happen after we evolve into something else. But if it was a "natural" phenomenon, we will eventually prove it.

AND if it was a natural phenomenon, then there is no need for "supernatural" beings, (a god). So I also think that proving that the universe has a "natural" origin also proves there is no god.

I believe there are only two ways to prove the existence of god:

1) to prove that the universe did not come about from a natural process, and/or...
2) god reveals herself to us

I think it will be much more difficult to prove that the universe did not come about from natural causes (as opposed to proving that it did come from natural causes). I'll have to give this one some more thought.........
