What would you accept as PROOF of a God?

[thaiboxerken]

Why is it that Dustin's "proofs of god" consist of fallacies and semantical arguments of the words "knowledge" "reality" "evidence" and "proof?"

In essence, it's a Cargo Cult proof. Dustin has duplicated the surface properties of proofs, so he has something that looks as much like a proof as a cleared stretch of dirt and a bamboo hut on stilts looks like a landing field. Of course, he's left out all the bits that actually matter, like logic and fact.

He's very hung up on appearances, as for example his appeal to dictionary entries as definitive formal statements.
