What proof do we really have that there is a heaven and a god?

Answer 1

There is no proof. The ideas of heaven and hell were invented as a means to control the mass population. People beleive what their parents have taught them, and years later, it is very difficult to shed ourselves of these false beliefs. Try reading a book titled "The four agreements"

Answer 2

Well, proof is subjective. I can hold a picture up of Heaven with God sitting there on a throne and even if it were a legitimate picture from heaven, you could say, well, that isnt real.

Jesus said that some people wouldn't believe even if someone were raised from the dead. That is just the nature of some people.

We cannot even prove that as individuals, we exist. The reason being that anyone could say, well, that is mass hysteria, that didnt really happen, it was trick photography, someone issued a bogus social security number. You see my point?

Looking for proof over spiritual matters makes it even harder. You just have to ask yourself a few questions like, okay, if we are just a series of chemical reactions, how did love get involved? Have a child and look at them and wonder, how could such a selfless love for this child come to be? Evolution? Chemicals? Nope, because bottom line is that even bearing children is not logical, it costs money, it is tiresome, it stresses you out - yet people do it! Why? Because of love. Love is the only proof that God exists and it is the only proof to explain all the crazy things we as human beings do - commit to one person, have children, risk our lives to save someone else, etc.....

Next question is - so where did it come from and how come so many of us agree on what an expression of love is.. we value life, we outlaw murder...why? because love comes from the same source for everyone - God. That is the only proof we get but it is strong enough that we dont need no stinking picture from heaven.

Answer 3

The proof for each individual is personal. I can look at my life and see times where God has intervened in an impossible situation.

I talk to God on a regular basis. I know He hears my prayers because He answers them. He has asked me to have faith in those things which I cannot see and since He's been faithful in all of His other promises to me, why should I expect Him not to be in any others?

The counter to that would be, 'what proof do we really have that there ISN'T a heaven and a God?" Even if I were to go through my entire life and find out in the end that I was wrong - what did I really lose?

Answer 4

OK, first of all God. Look around you at all the beautiful creation. Do you honestly think that this beauty could have happend by ACCIDENT? NO WAY! God created it isn't it obvious that there has to be a God? Some people don't believe there is a heaven its one of those things you just have to believe by faith! I mean we wouldn't be able to exist if there wasn't a loving God in Heaven that provides the rain and the sunshine and the food that we grow and raise. God provides everything for us. Life not be possible if there was not a God. We don't have proof but it hasn't been disproved. So you just have to believe by faith!
Oh and yes the Bible was WRITTEN by men but God put the words into their minds so that they could write it! YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE BY FAITH! We don't have proof that God is real and we probably never will until the end of time! Its all about Faith and thats why people believe in God and how they do it. by FAITH!

Answer 5

Solid evidence will always be disputed between christians and science. If you don't want to be part of the debate and still have questions like this one, maybe you should learn about other religions and the billions of people in the world that do not believe in either heaven or god.

Answer 6

A bible, and our existence, but most of it is just belief, you know religion? Thats why we believe we have a heaven and a god but really the only proof people have to show for it is our existence and a bible.

Answer 7

There really isn't any proof that everyone is going to accept. There are people who belive in heaven and a god, but it is a belief, not a true concrete fact.

Answer 8

If you asked, " How do we know that Indiana exists " wouldn't a person from Indiana, who came to you to tell that there is an Indiana, who has lived there all their life, be proof enough? To make this simple, God sent His Son to earth to tell us that He exists and that He dwells in heaven. So the next question is "How do we know Jesus Christ came from God?"

Answer 9

Heaven... There is an afterlife. From philosophers, religionists, scientists...more and more information of the continuity of life and how it makes sense to reasonable, rational people is being examined ongoing.

God... Look at the wonders of earth! The order and even the chaos of all living things and it certainly makes one wonder whose hand is behind this intelligent design.

Answer 10

You're going to get a lot of really bad answers to this question such as: "God can't be unproven, so that means he must exist." "We exist so there must be a God." "Some old book tells me so." "God answers my prayers." "My life is good, so there must be a God." "I can feel God, so I know he exists!" "I've seen God, so I know he exists!" "My mom's brother's cousin's friend's grandma had an out-of-body experience, so that's how I know God exists."

Although some of these answers might offer evidence to the individual who claims them, none of these answers offer universal evidence or proof. There is no proof of a God, period. This is why I have chosen atheism. As Carl Sagan said, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."
