I will answer you with a simple Example.
I guess everyone knows it too...

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty.He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student : Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student :Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student : No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student : From...God...
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student :Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student :Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student : No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student : No, sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelled your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student : No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have
anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it. (There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as
darkness?

Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing liight.... But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor.
Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir? (The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize
where the argument is going.)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going
endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the
Professor's
brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's
brain, felt it, touched or smelled it?.....No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face
unfathomable.)
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it, sir.. The link between man & god is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

Yes there is a God! When you wake up in the morning and see the great blue sky and the birds are singing with their wonderful chirps. And the children are giggling and life is going on each second of the day, that to me is evidence once and for all that there indeed is a God!

God Is. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Those that seek God must believe that He Is, and is a rewarder to those who diligently seek Him.

God does reveal Himself.

Salvation is the gift of God, through faith.

For God so loved the world that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but will have ever lasting life. With the mouth one confesses Jesus Christ Lord and with the heart believes He died on the cross for ones sins and rose up for ones justification.

Yes, but not as a being or as an old man with a long beard and flowing robes sitting in a throne in some heaven in outer space somewhere. God is the formless, genderless, omnipresent, eternal energy source who is the process of life itself

Yes there is a god. God is the reason you are on this earth, god is the reason why we have a chance in heaven, god is everything. The real question is... do you believe in him?

My answer is yes,I am not delusional, beacause I can feel God
I can pray I saw him practically He is always answering my prays.
I would like to show you some thing .just see the sky ,moon,sun,all wonderfull creatures. I belive some thing cames from some thing, every thing has a foundation, we can't see God he is invisable he is sprit .flash can't see a spirit.
in our small human mind we try to see God .we can feel God by his presence ,we can see God through his creatures .God reveal him self ,by his creatures.
We cant't undrestand about creater ,because we are creature of creater .For example human being creats a computer a computer is human reflaction,so the computer programmer can change the program at any time .the computer always follow the order ..never asking question to the programer to change the program or any thing else..
I am try to say if we do God asking us to do with out questioning we can see him we can feel him our difference from computer is
We have a will to follow ,or not to obey Gods word . we can see God in ourselves ,in creatures if we are truly ask him to reveal his presence to us he always be there .I am not talking about a religion i am talking about the reality.
Just ask him are you there he will reveal him self in different ways .thank you

You might want to ask yourself why it is worth asking; either this is the most important question you will ever ask, or it is the least significant question. You might want to consider, why do you have in you this sense of right and wrong that makes you feel like you ought to do some things and refrain from doing other things, all at certain times. Almost like a melody your conscience wants you to follow, hitting certain notes at just the right times--what's making you feel that you should do some things and not do others--that's what you should start asking.

Dear Ozzie,

Yes, there is a God (the Christian God).

I used to be an atheist. Over a period of time however, I grew convinced of the existence of the Christian God, and ultimately committed my life to Christ.

For a draft-version of my journey from atheism to Christ, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/seek.html.

For scientific and intellectual evidence for the existence of God, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/godsci/evidence.htm .

Cordially,
John

Yes, as sure as the sun rises and sets, the seasons change and hearts beat, God is real. He created us, He created you, He loves you and He is waiting with arms open for you to love Him. God's promise of love is unconditional, but salvation requires your decision. Will you accept Him?

that largely depends on each individual. I DON"T care what the freaking bible or any other religious text says, there is NO actual prove of the existence of a god, none whatsoever. it's the whole deal with blind faith. so it's really up to you.
