Is there evidence of God?

Question

Does anything exist today that we can say hasn't always existed in some form or another? A novel creation?

Answer 1

No evidence of God, this is the point. It's about belief despite there being no proof.

I don't believe in God but I don't think that even if there was one anyone could prove the existence..

Using the human body as 'evidence' is just farcical - yes, it did happen through evolution - look at all the mistakes along the way! Look at all the barren planets and planetless suns if you want proof that life isn't premeditated - it takes a lot of chances to come together to create life, not a 'creator'.

Besides, if there is a creator I don't think much of 'his' design - bit faulty. Too prone to disease, accident and mental disorder.

YES I BELIEVE DARWIN as do most sane people. It's ludicrous to expect people actually to believe that some creator built a world in seven days - here we have actual proof, not stories, of what happened. Besides, for those of you who seem to think that the world was made by God, who made God? You're question (which you seem to think is so unanswerable) about 'do you think you just popped into being' should be turned to 'God' - so 'God' just popped into being, hmmm? The earth developed by itself - it was not created.

Answer 2

Yes, critical thought exists for a fairly short time, just some 5000 years (which is truly nothing) and evidence og God is plenty in scientific world, but it's not the old man with a beard who asks you to follow him blindly or a spirit telling you its okay to kill people if they dont share you believes... its just a force responsible for equillibrium and the recent experiments show how well balanced our universe is... if you look for it, there is a reason why all major scientists believe in God more the older they get

Answer 3

He who says "I need proof" will experience the reality of "needing" (thus lacking) proof. I take the existence of God as a definition thing: I define God as that-which-created-the-Universe; therefore, of course he must exist, because the Universe is observably present and fully created. Or mostly created, at least.

If you want proof that what we assume to be reality is very illusory, I know just the thing: look into the movie (or the book) titled "What the BLEEP do we know!?". If you want proof of God's existence, close your eyes and feel the breeze on your skin.

Answer 4

Evidence of God is in the Bible. Two, look around you and see the supreme deity at work. Nothing is an accident. They came into being through an intellectual being that controls their existence.

Answer 5

It is impossible for humans to unequivocally provide the scientific method's version of proof either that God exists or does not exist. So if a scientist or "expert" says that they can prove that God does not exist, that one is expressing their personal bias. The truth is, no one was there when things came to be, and direct observance with our senses is a basic part of the scientific method.

However, the preponderance of evidence is that there is a Creator.

A while ago, a responder named "truth" outlined six evidences of God, and why they are compelling. I agree with them because they make sense.

1-GENETICS...The molecular information of genes instructs cells in how to function and reproduce. Containing the 3-billion-letter code inside our cells (of four recurring letters, or chemicals actually, the names of which start with these letters), it's a virtual library of instruction manuals for assembling and operating all the cells of the body.

A few years ago, one of the world's most famous atheists, Professor Anthony Flew, came to the conclusion that God exists based on DNA evidence.
... there is no logical explanation as to how this incredibly extensive, exquisite code inside the cell could exist without a supremely intelligent Being having designed it. Microsoft founder Bill Gates noted, “DNA is like a software program, only much more complex than anything we've ever devised” ( The Road Ahead , 1996, p. 228).

It is absurd to think that nobody designed such a complex code—that it is simply a result of time, chance and mutation.

2- ORIGIN... If things have an origin, they first needed an originator . The greatest question in philosophy is: Why does something exist instead of nothing ? Philosophers don't really have an adequate answer. But there is a principle in nature that points to the answer—everything with a beginning has a cause , and there are no known exceptions to this rule. Physics and astronomy have established that it had a beginning. For instance, it can be shown that the universe is presently expanding outward from an initial point. So if everything with a beginning has a cause, and if the universe has a beginning, then it must also have a cause that created it—the First Cause.

Moreover, everything that is caused to exist is brought about by something superior to itself. Therefore, something greater than the universe must have brought it into existence. This is a strong proof that a Creator exists and who has to be greater than time and space to have created time and space and therefore does not have to have a beginning or cause in the first place.

3- DESIGN-Everything that has a specific and complex design has a designer . For instance, a building is designed by an architect. No amount of time, chance and unthinking natural processes can produce a building. In a similar way, we see the exquisite designs of things around us.

Key illustration: the earth. The fact that so many of the planet's features had to be just right for complex life to exist indicates that a designer was at work. The combination and interworking of such features are far too complex for them to be the product of mere chance.

For instance, for the earth to have life, it had to be just the right size—8,000 miles in diameter. If it were 9,500 miles in diameter, scientists have concluded it would double the weight of the air. Then there would be so much oxygen turning into water that it would cover the entire earth. None of the continents would have appeared, so there would be no land-based life—including us.

The earth is just the right distance from the sun—93 million miles. If it were just 5 percent farther out from the sun, the earth would be too cold and mostly covered with ice. But if it were just a bit closer to the sun, it would be unbearably hot and the polar ice caps would melt, flooding the coasts.

The earth also needs the right rotational speed. If it were just a little faster, the earth would not be warmed enough, freezing much of the surface. But if it were slower, the heat would be oppressive.

It also needs just the right atmosphere—78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen, the precise amounts to sustain complex life. The earth also has the correct tilt—23.5 degrees—allowing us to have the four seasons and twice as much arable soil as a different tilt angle would provide.

Even the moon is precisely the right size and distance from the earth for the tides to move the oceans around, keeping them clean and aerated. (To find more examples, read the book The Privileged Planet by Guillermo Gonzalez and Jay Richards, 2004.)

4-LAWS -Where did the laws of the universe come from? They're not matter or energy, but they govern how both operate. There is no intrinsic reason for the laws of nature to exist. In fact, these laws had to be created and in place when matter and energy appeared, or there would be total chaos. The laws of the universe require that a lawgiver calibrated them and set them into effect.

Key illustration: gravity. Without this force that causes mass to attract other objects, life could not exist. And the intensity of all the forces must be in precise ratios to one another.

The famous physicist Stephen Hawking stated: “The universe and the laws of physics seem to have been specifically designed for us. If any of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it could not exist: Either atoms would not be stable, or they wouldn't combine into molecules, or the stars wouldn't form the heavier elements, or the universe would collapse before life could develop, and so on” ( Austin American-Statesman , October 19, 1997).

5- LIFE- The law of biogenesis as taught in biology class states that only life can produce life.

You've probably heard the famous question: Which came first, the chicken or the egg? It's a real dilemma for an evolutionist to answer. An egg comes from a chicken, yet the chicken comes from an egg. How can there be one without the other?

To complicate matters even more, the chicken has to come from a fertilized egg that has the mixture of two different genetic strains from both its parents. So the problem of the origin of life and initial reproduction is still a mystery that evolutionary science cannot adequately answer.

Yet for someone who believes in special creation by a Creator, there is no dilemma here. First God made the male and female chickens, which produced the first fertilized egg—and the rest is history.

6 - SYMBIOSIS - When one living thing needs another different living thing to survive, it's called a symbiotic relationship.

A good example of this is the relationship between bees and flowers. The bees need the nectar from some types of flowers to feed, while these flowers need bees to pollinate them. Both depend on the other to exist and survive. The question for evolutionists is: How did these plants exist without the bees, and how did the bees exist without these plants?

Again, atheistic scientists are stumped. Theistic evolutionists are perplexed as well. Yet if you believe in a Creator who specially created the various forms of life on earth, the answer is simple— both were created at about the same time.

truth



These evidences do not relate to the personal discovery of our Creator, and that is a whole other reason to accept the reality of his existence. But these could make the materialistic minded or the atheist to rethink their position.

"If you search for him, he will let himself be found by you."

Answer 6

Many consider the existence of their God to be an obvious truth that no sane man could deny. I strongly disagree with this assumption not only because evidence for the existence of this presumably ubiquitous yet invisible God is lacking, but because the very nature Christians attribute to this God is self-contradictory.

It is taken for granted by Christians, as well as many atheists, that a universal negative cannot be proven. In this case, that universal negative is the statement that the Christian God does not exist. One would have to have omniscience, they say, in order to prove that anything does not exist. I disagree with this position, however, because omniscience is not needed in order to prove that a thing whose nature is a self-contradiction cannot, and therefore does not exist.

I do not need a complete knowledge of the universe to prove to you that cubic spheres do not exist. Such objects have mutually-exclusive attributes which would render their existence impossible. For example, a cube, by definition, has 8 corners, while a sphere has none. These properties are completely incompatible: they cannot be held simultaneously by the same object. It is my intent to show that the supposed properties of the Christian God Yahweh, like those of a cubic sphere, are incompatible, and by so doing, to show Yahweh's existence to be an impossibility.Before we can discuss the existence of a thing, we must define it. Christians have endowed their God with all of the following attributes: He is eternal, all-powerful, and created everything. He created all the laws of nature and can change anything by an act of will. He is all-good, all-loving, and perfectly just. He is a personal God who experiences all of the emotions a human does. He is all-knowing. He sees everything past and future.

God's creation was originally perfect, but humans, by disobeying him, brought imperfection into the world. Humans are evil and sinful, and must suffer in this world because of their sinfulness. God gives humans the opportunity to accept forgiveness for their sin, and all who do will be rewarded with eternal bliss in heaven, but while they are on earth, they must suffer for his sake. All humans who choose not to accept this forgiveness must go to hell and be tormented for eternity.

One Bible verse which Christians are fond of quoting says that atheists are fools. Who is the fool? The fool is the one who believes impossible things and calls them divine mystery.

Answer 7

Well is there any evidence that God doesn't exist? What on this planet has man really created? We can manipulate, and change, but we haven't really created anything. You ask if there is any evidence of God, well do you really need any?

Answer 8

Yes there is for me...I believe because without his presence I won't have the love of family and friends...I wouldn't be where I am today...You don't just exist by luck...Look around at all the earthly things that surround you.....He touch you and woke you to see the world and all it's glory....pick up a Bible and Read...Peace, Love and much Joy your way...Be Blessed

Answer 9

Hey excuse me?
This gigantic universe, excellent design of living creatures, is the definite evidence of god and creation

Answer 10

Religion is based on belief. Belief starts where science ends. Even so, there are clue to the existance of Jesus. Look in the Bible, although not everything is represented clearly there.
