Here is something for you to ponder.....
Scientists claim that the earth is millions of years old. They make this claim by studying the layers of the earth (example: The Grand Canyon) If you look at the walls of the grand canyon, you can see many different layers of sediment on the walls of the canyon. The heavier and most dense rocks and solid formations are near the bottom of the canyon itself. The softer, less dense earth materials are nearer to the top of the canyon. Now...they claim this took millions or billions of years to happen.
Here is a simple experiement to prove that theory wrong. Take a large jar or clear glass container and fill it with water (simulating the great flood of Noahs time) next fill it with sand, rocks, dirt and other earthly materials of your own choice....shake it all up to make a nice mixture. Within mere minutes you will see that the heavier earthly materials like the rocks and clay will sink to the bottom and the softer less dense materials will remain at the top and all of this will occur within minutes, not years. To me, this simple experiemnt is proof that the earth is not billions of years old and that the great flood that God put on this earth happend only a few thousand years ago, just around the time Jesus walked the earth! Think about it! I personally do believe there is a God, but I believe that scientists are wrong when they contemplate the earths age and structure, God does exist, in what form I do not know, but he does exist in some way and I get the feeling he is pissed off at most of us...So have faith my friend....Scientists are not always right by any means, God walked the earth only a few thousand years ago....not billions like scientists claim.

None, that's why there are Agnostic people and Scientology as a religion choice. I feel that someone or something had to create the Earth, but there are many things that go against what modern Christians believe. My problem is that I guess I am an Agnostic Christian if that makes any sense...
There probably could be some proof of something, but part of religion is not to question it, so you had all these people for 2000 years ignoring the fact that they couldn't "prove" religion, but at the same time allowing the proof to disappear without trying to preserve it, AND following blindly and teaching this is the right way to be.
You should always ask questions, after all, this is your soul we are talking about. If there are 10 largely populated religions out there, only 1 group technically is correct in the way we are told to view religion. I refuse to believe if Christianity is true that God wouldn't have left us proof of some sort.
Most religions are very similar. Couldn't it be possible that they were all created but since te populations of the people in these days were either spread out or at war with each other so the religions took different twists and turns?
The fact of the matter is one of these theories:
1) There is a God or Gods, he/they created the Earth or at least space so that the Big Bang could happen and the Earth was formed. He created man or man evolved from other animals which he created. Something made us smarter than the other animals even though we don't always act like it.
2) Religion was made up by man as a set of rules to follow and a reward or punishment for your actions during life because mankind wouldn't survive if something didn't change. If there was no religion, what would keep people from killing each other every day? With religion, we have all of the problems of the world, can you imagine if the millions of Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, all other great religions didn't exist? Man-kind wouldn't have made it to the year 2000.

Actually there is plenty of proof if you know how to understand it. Einstein's E=mc2 means that everything is just energy. This is also what modern physics tells u. e.g. electrons are always moving- but they need energy to move, isn't it? Now this energy is all pervasive i.e. everywhere u can imagine and beyond.
Most religions have been shouting for ages that God is everywhere. Now a scientist says that everything is the same energy or a mystic says that God is everywhere- are they saying two different things or the same thing in different ways? I think it is the latter.
The problem is that modern day religions across the world have corrupted the very concept of God and limited it to a form (a Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha or Shiva etc). Just see anything that has a form must be finite and limited. And a limited thing cannot be everywhere. can it? Only something which has no form at all can be all pervasive. Isnt it? In other words God is that creative energy which is the creates and permeates the entire universe.
Yoga is technology by which each individual can raise himself to the point where he can directly experience the Creator the same way a Jesus or a Buddha did. Remember Jesus also said that God made man in his own image. So it is that the same man can raise himself till he becomes one with God/creator and himself becomes divine.
If the above made u think please read the book "Mystic's Musings" from www.amazon.com for much more detailed explanations from an enlightened being.

None. Religion is not a subject that science can
handle, because there is no way to observe or
test religious claims. As for faith, you might check
what Ambrose Bierce or H. L. Mencken had to say
about it. It is noteworthy that "the faith that can move mountains" actually seems to be unable to
move even a grain of sand. You might also look
at two books by Michael Martin and Ricki Monnier,
both published by Prometheus Books. Their
titles are: "The improbability of god" and "The
impossibility of god." An amusing idea is this:
god might have created the entire universe just
ten minutes ago, complete with all the evidence of
great age, and all the memories each one of us
has about his past life. There is absolutely no way
to disprove this scientifically. Some such idea was
actually suggested by an Englishman named
Gosse in a book titled Omphalos.

I dont think tht there is any scientific proof on religion. It may have historical proofs which u can get to kno by reading religious books, miniature paintings etc.

Your not supposed to have "scientific proof" of religion, your supposed to have faith. There's a difference.

Never ceases to amaze me how you pseudo-intellectuals keep throwing up the "Science vs. Religion" argument. Haven't we made it abundantly clear that FAITH doesn't require scientific proof? Guess not, so let's try this once more. Try to keep up.
FAITH. DOES. NOT. NEED. SCIENCE. TO. BACK. IT. UP.

I will only give you a brilliant saying a friend of mine once told me.
If something happens once, people think its magic.
If something happens twice, people think its religion.
If something happens three times, ah, then it is science.
I always loved that.
