Yes!
How did we get the trees, the sun, stars, moon, food? It just didn't happen by chance.
Here's some Physical Scientific proof that God exists!
GEN.9:13 "I do set my bow in the cloud and it shall be for a token of a covenant between you and me and the earth."
ISN'T THERE A RAINBOW IN THE SKY AFTER THE RAIN STOPS?
What makes the planets all alligned together so they don't crash; it's very unique because scientists can't understand it!
What makes the seasons change? What makes a flower open and close? What makes the fish go back to spawn?
Here's just a some; many experts and scientists and other people can't explain why these things happen.
But isn't God unique on how he does things.
TO ME THIS IS PROOF!

Saying "absolute" makes just about anything in life non-existent. There are great doubts placed in many things and so to answer your question, totally honest, as a Christian, NO! There is no physical, scientific, absolute proof that God exists. But you have to remember that just because there isn't absolute proof, doesn't mean there isn't some sort of proof. It is also doesn't mean that God doesn't exist when you say there is no absolute proof. You are just saying that there is nothing to prove without doubt that God exists. And doubt is what makes faith so important.

Yes in the Bible there are references to several sites that are standing today, there is alot of agricultural proof and findings, that what is printed in the Bible is true, The original stone from the tabernacle that King Herod was building still lays there, Jesus said "that one stone would not lay upon another", there are other stones over the original, the mount of olives, the garden, Athens stands, Corinthians in the Bible, there is alot of proof.
The scripture in the museums matching exactly to that stated in the Bible,
I know that God exists, for me, because I have the holy spirit, I was an extreme alcoholic and could not quit, and after I gave my life to God, and accepted Jesus Christ as my savior, and asked for forgiveness, its amazing, everything about me has changed, I do not even crave a drink, its like the taste has been washed from my mouth, and I do not have the desire to do any of the things I did. Everyone has there personal testimony, and through faith, you can find God, cause he has been here all along, just waiting on you, to open the door.

This is a loaded question, and you know it.
You know perfectly well what the answer to this question is. You know that the answer is no.
You know that there's no way to prove God's existence through scientific means.
But why does everything always have to come down to science for people like you?
Folks like you seem to "worship" science. You revere it almost to the point of idolatry.
But science hasn't always been right about everything. It used to think that leeches were a good way to cure blood disorders. It took science thousands of years to figure out that the earth revolves around the sun. It's still trying to figure out how big the universe is.
And science used to think that human babies were actually formed inside of men -- who then "shot" the babies over to the woman during sex.
Science is a wonderful thing -- but unlike God, it isn't perfect. Science has gotten plenty of things wrong in history.
God's existence can't be proven by science -- but have you ever considered the possibility that this simply means that science cannot prove everything?
Ever stop to think that maybe this means science has shortcomings -- one of those shortcomings being that it cannot prove God exists? Ever think about that?

There is no "proof" that he exists other than the world around you. However, there is a lot of scientific facts out there that point to the fact that God can't NOT exist. Read "Case for a Creator" by Lee Strobel. Its a really good book.

Ever since the first known writings in 1300 (BCE) mans fear of the unknown eg. that which happens to one when one dies has been one of wonderment or even how the world worked. Religion in all forms were created to comfort this fear of the unknown and that of death. Early man ,and by this i mean people of early Rome, Greek, Egypt as well as others had many Gods and Goddesses to help them understand the workings of their time.Later Religion moved in the position of advisers to kings Helping them in their rule of their subjects. keeping people in line so to speak. The Church was given even more power thru the Inquisition killing those that did not conform to their beliefs in one God. The God we hear of today, This Power is still evident today, all one has to do is just look at the Pope and the Vatican if one tries to go against their way, that is to say something they don't agree with then it is denounced as harisy. I'm not saying Jesus did not exist and that he did not had 12 followers but that is about as far as it would go , He was no more then an early Gandhi. Even Manson had followers and they claimed he had great powers. there's some brain food for ya no pun intended. To answer your question is there proof? the answer is no. He like Zeus , or the Vikings Oden were made by man to explain that which man has yet to figure out, and to confort mans fear of death and dieing

Yes... but we really don't need proof... do we?
"Bang: The theory of Evolution of the Coca Cola Can"
Billions of years ago, a big bang produced a large rock. As the rock cooled, sweet brown liquid formed on it's surface. As time passed, aluminum formed itself into a can, a lid, and a tab. Millions of years later, red and white paint fell from the sky and formed itself into the words "Coca Cola... 12 fluid ounces."
Of course my theory is an insult to your intellect, because you know that if the Coca Cola can is made, there must be a maker. If it is designed, there must be a designer. The alternative, that it happened by chance or accident is to move from the intellectual free zone.
Here is another:
"The Banana: The Atheist Nightmare"
Note that the banana...
1. is shaped for the human hand.
2. has a non-slip surface.
3. Has outward indicators of it's inward contents. Green - too early, yellow - just right, black - too late.
4. Has a tab for removal of it's wrapper.
5. Is perforated on wrapper.
6. Has a bio-degradable wrapper.
7. Is shaped for the human mouth.
8. Has a point at the top for ease of entry.
9. Is pleasing to the taste buds.
10. Is curved towards the face to make the eating process easy.
To write that the banana happened by accident is even more unintelligent than to write that no one designed the Coca Cola can.
Test 1.
The person who thinks the Coca Cola can has no designer is:
A. Intelligent
B. A fool
C. Has an ulterior motive for denying the obvious
Now the document that I am referring from states that the eye has 40,000,000 nerve endings and focuses it's muscles approximately 100,000 times a day. and that the eye has a retina that contains approximately 137,000,000 light sensitive cells.
The document continues and states that Charles Darwin stated:
"To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection, seems I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree" Agreed... it does not have the reference recorded so I do not know if this statement is true or false. But let me get to the point at hand.
If man can not create the human eye then how can anyone in their right mind believe that it was created by chance? In fact... man can't create anything from nothing... we just do not know how to do it. We can re-create, reform, develop... but we can not create one grain of sand from nothing. Yet the human eye... is a mere tiny part of the most sophisticated part of creation - the human body.
Again... another statement which I would have to research and verify if this person actually made this comment:
"George Gallup; "If I could prove God statistically; take the human body alone; the chance that all the functions of the individual would just happen, is a statistical monstrosity."
Now this statement concerning Albert Einstein. This is confusing... why would this man contradict himself? If he stated this... then every other statement that has been quoted at this forum is invalid because the man appears to be speaking from both sides of his mouth. In this statement Einstein is quoted to have said:
"Everyone who is seriously interested in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe - a spirit vastly superior to man, and one in the face of our modest powers must feel humble."
Test 2:
1. Do you know any building that did not have a builder? Yes? No?
2. Do you know any painting that did not have a painter? Yes? No?
3. Do you know any car that did not have a maker? Yes? No?
If you answered "Yes" to any of those statements... please give details:_________________________________________
Third analogy:
Could I convince you that I dropped 50 oranges onto the ground and then by chance fell into ten rows of five oranges? Logically, anyone with an intelligent mind might conclude that someone put them there. The odds that ten oranges would fall into a straight line is mind boggling. Let alone ten rows of five.
Test 3
Yes or No 1. From the atom to the universe is there order?
Yes or No 2. Did it happen by accident or must there been an intelligent mind?
3. What are the odds of 50 oranges falling by chance into ten rows of five oranges? _______________________________
To declare that there is no God is to make an absolute statement. And for an absolute statement to be true; one must have absolute knowledge. Here is another such statement: "There is no gold in China."
Test 4 What would I need to have for that statement to be true?
A. No knowledge of China?
B. Partial knowledge of China?
C. Absolute knowledge of China?
"C" is the correct answer. In order for the statement to be true, I must know that there is no gold in China.
Likewise; to state that there is no God and to be correct then you are stating that you are omniscient. You must have absolutely certain knowledge that there isn't one.
Let's say that a circle contains all the knowledge of the universe. And let's say that you have an incredible understanding of one percent of all that knowledge. Is it possible that the knowledge you haven't yet come across, that there might be ample evidence to prove that God does indeed exist?
If you are reasonable, you would have to admit, "Having the limited knowledge I have at present, I believe that there is no God." In other words, you don't know if God exists, so you are not an atheist. You are an "agnostic." You are like a person that looks at a building and doesn't seem to know if there is a builder.
Test 5 The man who sees a building and doesn't know if there is a builder is:
A. Intelligent
B. A fool
C. Has an ulterior motive
In summary: There are plenty of things that we have faith in that we do not fully understand. Most of us do not have a complete understanding that when you turned your computer on as to why it worked. You took a step of faith that turning it on... that somehow that it would work. You accept the unseen electrical waves that appear right in front of your eyes when you type your comments here. We do not see the reason for why the messages appear... because the powers that be are invisible to the naked eye. For them to be manifest, we need a monitor... so we can enjoy the experience of this forum.
God is not flesh and blood; He is an eternal Spirit. Immortal and invisible... like the computer waves. He can can not be experienced unless the monitor is turned on. One should approach the Bible in the same way as the monitor. If it works, enjoy it and if it doesn't, forget it.
Or do you have an ulterior motive? Could it be that the "atheist" can't find God... as a thief can't find the policeman? Could it be that your logic is clouding your good judgment?

Yes ofcourse.
There are two possibilities of we being here. Either we are here by Chance or we have been Created.
What are we made from? Cells. Let us now put aside the question of "how the first cell originated" and ask a much easier question: How did the first protein originate? The theory of evolution has no answer to this question either.
Proteins are made up of molecules, called "amino acids". There are 500-1,000 amino acids in an average protein. The important point is that amino acids have to line up in a certain sequence to form a protein. There are 20 different amino acid types used in living organisms. These amino acids do not combine at random to form proteins. Every protein has a certain amino acid sequence and this sequence must be precisely matched. Even the deficiency or the replacement of a single amino acid renders that protein a useless lump of molecules. For this reason, every amino acid must be just at the right place in the right sequence. The instructions for this sequence are stored in the DNA of the cell and, according to them, the proteins are produced.
The theory of evolution claims that the first proteins formed "by chance". Probabilistic calculations, however, show that this is by no means possible. For instance, the probability of the amino acid sequence of a protein made up of 500 amino acids being in the correct order is 1 in 10^950.
10^950 is an incomprehensible figure formed by placing 950 zeros after 1. In mathematics, a probability smaller than 1 over 1050 is considered to be almost impossible.
Even a single protein cannot form by chance, and there are billions of Protein in human body. and there are billions of people here in this world. Calculation would be [ 10^950 x Number of protein molecules in human body x number of people in the world ever existed ]. Can you imagine this figure. The probability that human life can form by chance is nothing but 0.
Finally, the time necessary for the molecule to form was 10^243 billion years. This was far greater than the supposed age of the universe - only about 2 billion years. It was impossible for the universe to have created itself, and for life to randomly form.
The only answer left is that there is creation, and when there is a creation , there is a CREATOR.
"Say: ‘Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman: by whatever name ye call upon Him, (it is well): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names....‘"
[Al-Qur’an 17:110]
"Say: He is Allah, The One and Only. "Allah, the Eternal, Absolute.
"He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him."
[Quran 112:1-4]

No, just a overzealous belief in a fictitious book written long after the fictitious events allegedly happened.
oh and to taimur down there with all the mathematical probability BS. If there is such a low probability of 500 amino acids coming together in a certain sequence, what do you think the probability of an all powerfull "supreme being" popping out of nowhere would be?

Some scientists feel that there is proof in the statistical odds of the nessessary elements coming together to create life in the first place.The science community is involved in a great debate right now over what is called ID or intelligent design.This involves the idea that there is very little chance of the right elements combining to result in our existance today.withou some sort of intelligent designer in charge of the process..IE-God.
