Thank you for your two “proofs” Will, but the challenge did specify that the prize would “be awarded to the first Christian, knowledgeable or otherwise” to submit a qualifying proof. While it might be difficult to challenge the true beliefs of a total stranger, I think your earlier writings, along with no indication of a conversion would render you ineligible to claim the prize were one or both of your proofs were to withstand scrutiny.

On quick review, I find both built on what I consider unsound assumptions, however I’ll leave a more detailed analysis to others unless none is forthcoming. I do note with interest that in your second proof you recognized the implicit necessity in the challenge of (at least an attempt at) proving the existence of a deity rather than assuming one into existence.
