Is there a need for scientific proof for God?
The problem is that those hardcore evolutionists does not want to confess that their brain has limitations!
When you see a building, you does not need an evidence that it was built by someone..When you see a foot track in the beach, then you do not need an evidence that someone was there!
When you see this whole universe working perfectly..why you need a lab test to believe someone is behind…

World of science looks at a new design on life's creatorJENNY HOPE in London10sep05A NEW theory on the beginnings of life has divided educators - but not along the lines you might think.Intelligent Design Theory - which claims to have evidence life was at least partly the work of a designer - is causing controversy across the world.
Criticised as a way of "sneaking" creationism into science, the theory has attracted the support of United States President George W Bush.
On the other side, scientists including Professor Paul Davies have compared it to "fairies and flat-Earth" theories.
Already, schools overseas - and some in the eastern states - have incorporated it into their curriculums.
Intelligent Design has yet to be taught in a South Australian school - but argument over its merit is running hot.
Independent schools - usually thought to be conservative - say Intelligent Design theory could be used as a tool for developing critical thinking.
The SA Science Teachers Association, meanwhile, has come down with an unapologetically hard-line stance.
"Intelligent Design is simply a belief," executive officer Bob Geary said.
"As beliefs are not measurable, testable nor evidence-based, they can't be considered part of science.
"Therefore, it is not appropriate for inclusion in any science course or science textbook." More than 14 million websites tackle both sides of the Intelligent Design debate.
Supporters claim life is so complex, it must have been the work of a directing intelligence.
They argue scientific evidence, gleaned from DNA, cellular machines and mathematical formula, supports their claims.
Critics, however, claim the theory simply fills gaps in current evolutionary theory with "speculative beliefs". They call the idea "God of the gaps".
Association of Independent Schools SA executive director Gary LeDuff said that the theory was an issue for most of the state's 97 non-government schools.
"Our schools have not had the opportunity to seriously consider whether they would incorporate this approach into their curriculums," he said.
He said schools taught both evolution and creationism in the hope students would come to their own conclusions about life.
"Even if it was introduced, it would be to encourage students to examine it along with the other two theories on life," he said.
"Christian schools would usually be seen as conservative but they want to give students the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills and make their own decisions."
The Science Teachers Association, meanwhile, has drafted an official, four-paragraph position on Intelligent Design.
It concedes the theory may have a place in religious studies, or as a "contrast" to evolution.
"As it is not possible to set up an experiment to test Intelligent Design, it cannot have any status as a scientific theory," the document says.
