"If one takes it that the Resurrection actually took place, then it is as much a fact as that a peach tree bears fruit."

Since I'm a Roman Catholic, I obviously agree. But the point is that such truths are not part of nor provable by science--they are outside the realm of science. You can prove the existence of God by reason (as the Catholic church teaches), but NOT by means of any known scientific test or method. If you come up with one, I guarantee you'll win the Nobel.

I think the "scientific" test is to DISPROVE the theory of God. One of the objectives of many evolutionists has been exactly that. What they come up with are many objections, but not proof of them. St. Thomas did not "prove" the existence of God: he only showed that the concept was reasonable, not contrary toi the laws of logic. Darwin did not prove evolution; he only showed that it was reasonable. But his original theory is not as grand and all emcompassing as that of Dawkins et a; whose are trying to set up a counter-theology based on the assumption that "science" is all that we can know.
