I think I'm starting to get what you are driving at. If it wasn't wrong for Thomas -- a disciple of all people -- to require physical proof how can it be wrong when we today require physical proof? Well maybe it's not.
But then, if physical proof can't be found today, does that mean God won't hold it against us if we don't believe what can't be physically proven?

But much that's important to humans can't be scientifically proven. Much of religion can't be empirically proven. But history proves that religion is important to humans. Religion came before science. Religion came before the invention of the written language even.
Lack of scientific proof won't kill religion. I think humans prefer religion over empirical proof. Humans seem to love a rich fantasy life. And maybe it's a way to stay young at heart. Who knows? Humans are basically crazy.
