I'm shaking my head...i don't know what the original poster had in mind for this thread, but i know i wouldn't try to prove anything this way. the utility of this idea is to be a rough approximation of the way your mind might have to bend a bit to accomodate the idea of God. You don't have to keep it that way, and you're welcome to have a different experience of what it might mean...
But don't think that bringing the question down to a level of strict determinism is an intellectual victory. It is the path with the very least thinking one could possibly choose.
