Duterte: I believe in God, but prove his existence – via a selfie

President Rodrigo Duterte says that he is neither agnostic nor atheist. He believes in God. But he has a challenge: if anyone can prove to him that God exists – by showing him a selfie with the Creator – he will resign. "By the way, I believe in one Supreme God, I've never said I do not believe in God, I'm not agnostic, I'm not an atheist, I happen to be a believing human being that there is a universal spirit somewhere that controls the universe, "he said at the opening of National Science and Technology Week Friday in Davao

. Yes, of course, there is God, "he added.

Duterte, however, said that he would like someone to introduce himself and say that he had gone to heaven and that he came down to earth to prove the existence of God

"You are doing this today, only one witness that there is a guy, a human being who has been able to speak to see God" he added. "Of the billions of people who were here [on earth] I just needed it.And if there is one, ladies and gentlemen, I will announce my resignation immediately."

The President also refuted the concept of original sin, which appeared because, as recounted in the Bible, Adam and Eve were banished from Eden to disobey God.
