How Social Science Research Methods Might Provide Scientific Evidence for The Existence of God

Abstract

Much publicity has been given to attempts to discredit a belief in God on the grounds that such a belief does not sit well with scientific thinking in the physical and biological sciences. The present article seeks to argue that this stance overlooks the contribution of scientific methodologies in social science research. The article focuses on the methods of triangulation and of case study for establishing the validity and reliability of evidence in social research and concludes that the case study approach is valid for providing empirical scientific evidence for the existence of God.
