You don't, however, see God until you die. How fucking convinient! Maybe you see the box when you die?

No, because that's silly .

The cardboard box is a material object; God isn't. God is a separate entity to the universe. God isn't a giant man with a long beard and a pair of sandals.

Says who, says who, and says who? Are you trying to define what God is now? Okay, the mental image most people have of him is man made, but who is to say what he, she or it is? It could well be a box. That's the crux of my argument. Science cannot disprove the existence of God, sure, but it cant disprove the existence of my box God either. It really shows up what a stupid theory it is, and one often put foward by religionists, to say that 'science cannot disprove the existence of God'.

Science cannot disprove the existence of virtually billions of other things we are capable of conjuring up in our imaginations either, yet this ill defined 'God' figure get's special treatment because throughout the course of human history we have been conditioned to accept him. Or her. Or box.

Who #1- Basic science. Its a fact that a cardboard box is a material object
Who #2/3- The definition of God. God is just 'there' in no physical form
