does god really exist or is he a fabricated idea?

Question

do you belive in god or do you believe that he is someone that people made up to explian the unexplainable for example like how we got here or how the whope world was created.

Answer 1

I believe that anything in the Bible that looks impossible (including GOD) is actually a metaphoric representation of something possible, but equally astonishing. I don't believe in the notion of a man named GOD that made the Universe, Humanity, and a son named Jesus, BUT I DO believe in an all powerful force that did all of that (It is also responsible for Jesus, but for Jesus to call GOD father would be like a Hippie calling Earth Mother).

Answer 2

My belief does not matter. Your belief does.

I assume your notion of God comes from the Judeo-Christian culture and the source for this God comes from the Jewish or Christian bible.

The bible does not prove (fabricate) God but assumes his existence. "God created the heavens and the earth" talks about what God created, not about God himself. The closest explanation of God is his name that he gave to Moses: "I am that I am". Before there was a universe (all matter and energy), God existed, and after there is no more universe, God existed.

The bible is not a conversion manual but is a tool for the believer. It states all that we know about God, all that God reveals. The key to your question is belief: What you believe and what you do not believe.

On the other hand, there is what man observes. In the scientific method, we gather the facts to form theories. As we observed more, the theories may change as our knowledge (facts) change. There is no theory in Science that is not validated every day. It is what man observes and what he understands from the observation.

God reveals and man observes. For example, science cannot prove or disprove the existence of God. There is no observation the God is spirit (wind). Moreover, what is not revealed is not in the bible, i.e. did Jesus have a wife? That part of Jesus life is never discussed.

Now that we have the ground rules (observation and relevelation), you should be able to answer your question. How was the world created (big bang according to science and first line of genesis). Here both science and the bible agree, but there is a differences: Scientific theory has not explain the cause where the bible states the cause was God. How we got here? Evolved verses created. Did someone make up God? Sciences can not say because there are no facts, and the bible documents God, but you must believe that the bible is the word of God spoken by the prophets.

So you have it. Whether you believe it or not is what matters. Belief is not a scientific notation, but faith/believe is a gift from God. Good luck.

PHYSICS professor Ulrich J. Becker, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, stated when commenting on the existence of God: "How can I exist without a creator? I am not aware of any compelling answer ever given."


When mathematics professor John E. Fornaess, of Princeton University, was asked for his thoughts on the existence of God, he replied: "I believe that there is a God and that God brings structure to the universe on all levels from elementary particles to living beings to superclusters of galaxies."

Physics professor Henry Margenau, of Yale University, said that he was convinced that the laws of nature were created by God, adding: "God created the universe out of nothing in an act which also brought time into existence." He then noted that in the book The Mystery of Life's Origin, three scientists explain that a Creator is a plausible explanation for life's origin.
Supporting this view, astronomer Fred Hoyle has stated that believing the first cell originated by chance is like believing that a tornado ripping through a junkyard full of Boeing 747 airplane parts dismembered and in disarray could produce a 747.



"[God's] invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world's creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship."-Romans 1:20.


Have you ever seen the wind?

The same is true of electricity.

Since God cannot be seen, we must reason on his existence by looking at things around us that we can see. Consider our own bodies.


Our BRAIN is a supercomputer


Our EYES have been described as natural cameras.


Our VOCAL CORDS can produce not only speech but some of the most beautiful music to delight the human ear.


The electrical wiring of an automobile is most primitive when compared with our NERVOUS SYSTEM.


You personally may not have seen the maker of a computer, a camera, a violin or the electrical system of a car, yet you know that the designer of each did exist. His handiwork testifies to his existence and skill. Since no one will hesitate to say that each of these fine inventions had a designer and maker, is it not obvious that no less could be said of our body?

"If you discovered how one wheel in the 'clock' turns-you may speculate how the rest move, but you . . . better leave alone the question of who wound up the spring"

Answer 4

God is self-evident. If every painting has a painter, every building has a builder, every design has a designer, and if the things that have order, and orderer...Doesn't it make sense then that in order for there to be creation, there must have been a Creator, for the design of the flower, a Designer, for the order of the sun, moon, and stars, there must be an Orderer? It takes more faith to believe that your computer came into existence by a man shaking a big plastic bag full of 1,000 parts until a computer was formed than it does to believe that someone actually built it. In the same way, it takes WAY more faith to believe that we BIG BANGED than it does we were soverignly Created by a superior Divinity.

Hope this makes sense!

Answer 5

He is very real to me. He is a Spirit. In my 28 yrs of life & since I got a hold of Gods message at age 15 I have seen many wonderful things he has done for the Earth.& no it isn't a fabercated story because in history it shows people all over the world have simular stories,but they never met ,& it was throughout centuries,not in 1 meeting place that God came alive to different people.

Answer 6

Some day someone will fabricate an idea of how God got created from nothing, and then we can have a new religion.

Answer 7

Sabrina, does it matter what other people believe? Observe the world. Ask questions about it's nature. Read books. A LOT of books. Use your brain to think about what you observe. DO NOT listen to what others tell you is 'true' without looking at the evidence, because all they're telling you is what the BELIEVE is true. Trust your brain and your eyes and your good sense.

Answer 8

What do you believe? imagine you live your life bellieving there is no God and all who believe in him are all abunch of idiots and psycho. then in the end when the world ends or something like that you find out that there really is a God and to get into hevean or eternity you had to have believed in him. how stupid would you feel? or vice versa. the answer lies within you in the end.

Answer 9

It doesn't matter what you call Him - God, Jehovah, The Creator of Jimbo - God is God and He is unexplainable. Someone or something created you, me, this universe and beyond - and it matters not wehat you call him - He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.

Answer 10

It depends on what you believe in. For me, he is a fabricated idea in order to maintain a society from panicking. But again, religion has their purpose as the same goes for science.
