I took a class my freshman year in college called "Early Christian Writings"......Jesus the man did exist.....historically .....there is proof of it......but many things do not fall in line the way the Bible and Christian Theoligans would like to believe or preach. E.g. he was born 6 BC.....six years than earlier thought...which would make this year...1991?.....Also..he was very open minded.....the missing years of his life when everyone else would like to believe he was making chairs in his father's workshop....he was in the east studying eastern religions.....which is why he is so openminded. A lot of things he said were not his words originally. E.g. His Sermon on the Mount was a direct quotation from Moses.......from the first five books of the bible.....this was how "The Word" was passed down in those times....orally......teachers would walk around....and his students...or "disciples" would follow him as he recited these verses. When people asked him "are you the son of God?"....he was like...."hello McFly???? we are all the sons of God"........so they killed him.....just because he wasn't a hyprocrite.....do I think he was the Son of God?....of course....we are all...just look around you....do I think he performed miracles?......yes!!! anything is possible through God......and I believe he is the same God for everyone...just called different names....Allah, God....etc...Does God exist???is there proof??? it depends on what you believe is proof....proof has many dimensions.......and I believe faith to be one of them...you can be an Atheist....but It feels so much better to believe in something....

Well, in my anthropology of religion class my atheist teacher asked we write a paper on why she should believe in a higher power. What I found the most compelling, is that while I was doing my research I discovered many religions so similar to each other yet had never had contact. Even the rainforest people believe in the spirit world and that god was part of nature. All human cultures acknowledged a higher power. Mostly early man believed in pagan or earth and nature religions dealing with the seasons and harvests. All the gods were hunting and gathering gods in the pagan religions before conversion to christianity. Be that as it may, my proof that god or the great spirit exists is because so many cultures separate from each other acknowledge it.
There's Im sure more but we would get into dna and darwinism and cultural history, the big bang, the eagle nebula...etc...

This is an age ancient query that we would possibly or would possibly not ever realize even after dying we would possibly not ever realize. According to technological know-how, and Athiests, He does no longer exist. According to devout varieties and humans with religion, He does exist. According to Agnostics, He would possibly or would possibly not exist. But now again to the opening, if He does exist, might be at some point He will exhibit himself or permit Himself recognized to the humans, or within the Afterlife, because the Doctrine states, if you're well then you'll be allowed in Heaven while God lives. Although it is usually viable that there might not be an Afterlife however He nonetheless does exist for us to not ever realize in any respect. Then there may be the perception that He does on no account exist nor does Heaven exist, that is the Athiest perception of what God is. For myself individually, I do not feel I consider in Heaven, up to I could definitely love to, there may be simply not anything in my brain on the way to permit me consider that Heaven exists and there are Angels with white gowns and peace for the entire leisure of your submit existence on Earth time. Although, I do consider there's a God, no longer the God that's in portraits with the white gown, lengthy beard, halo, and the whole lot else, however a few kind of better entity that we do not realize approximately and would possibly not ever realize approximately, however I consider there should be whatever in the market that's extra robust than something else, a few entity that pretty much in all different phrases is...God.

he exists you exist and that should be proof enough.
Evolution and creationism do not have to be at odds both follow the same broad pattern and a time frame that is difficult to define with absolute certainty. Where is the difference between the one minute nothing next minute universe thinking of the Big Bang Theory and "Let there be Light."
God is there alright and you will have all the proof you need sooner than you think. If you do not believe there is no proof that I can show you. If you do believe you don't need proof.

Yes, God exists. If you are looking for strictly scientific proof, however, you will never get it. Science in the strictest since assumes that only natural laws govern the cosmos. Therefore, there is no room for the Super Natural.
If you are wise enough not to exclude the possibility of God, you will find plenty of evidence for Him. The complexity of our bodies, the earth, the universe, etc. all point to God's existence.
The Bible says it is normal to understand that God exists. In fact, it says only fools declare there is no God. So much for science.
Understanding that God exists begs the question, why am I here? Don't miss the significance of this question. I would hope that you would make time to read the Bible and discover for yourself what the purpose of your life is. Faith in Christ is challenging, humbling, and rewarding.

The concept or belief in God is not a result of fear in its origination but to its realization. For example, when it rains, you use an umbrella to protect yourself against rain but before the thought of using the umbrella, did not the umbrella exist? Of course God is Higher, and if we were able to see God, would that make him more worthy of worship or less? Scientifically you have to believe in God b/c matter is based on cause and effect so it can not go indefinitely unless matter is perfect and eternal, which it is not b/c matter continuously changes but some thing perfect would not require change b/c it is sustained by itself. So matter has a end, but none the less if you believe that matter always existed and is perfect, who was the Decision Maker to initiate the original change of creation, since you believe in its eternity, you must accept it as perfect in the first place. Thus God must be in the formula as the Originator of creation and its attributes of cause and effect.

Suppose you are on a road and you cannot ever turn around and never return from whence you came. You come to a fork in that road and you must go forward and thus you must choose one of the roads. Suppose you see other people and you ask them which road you should take. Now suppose that you get different advice, but a "few" people tell you You are on the road of life. You must make choices every day of your life.
that they have "heard" from others that the left fork holds dangers and that there is a very high priced toll booth, but "nobody" knows anything about the right fork, and they are taking that one.
These are just rumors, right?
Who would you believe? Which road will you take?
Will you take the road that is rumored to be dangerous? Or the road, about which, no one knows or ever heard?

God does exist. Just look around you and tell me that the prefect balance of vegetation, water, heat, chemicals, etc. are just some accident. You say you are looking for proof, well there is a book entitled, "The Scientific Case for Christianity" by Dr. Jay L. Wile that could help you with such searches. You may also find proof by reading the Bible. Certain passages are absolutely jam packed with proof. There are also some other good Christian books out there that could help you.

In some places it is commonly taught that everything we see just happened by itself, that it came about by chance or accident. Over many millions of years, it is said, life evolved, or developed, from lower forms until finally humans came into existance. In many parts of the earth this theory of evolution is taught as a fact. But is it true that we came from an apelike beast that lived millions of years ago? Did this great universe just come about by accident?
The Bible says:"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."(Genesis1:1) And the facts of science agree that the heavens, with their billions of stars, and our earth had a beginning. they were created. The movements of the stars and the planets are so regular that even years in advance their position can be determined with perfect acuracy. The stars and planets move in the universe acording to the laws and principles of mathematics. A professor of mathematics from the university of Cambridge, P. Dirac, said,in the magazine Scientific American:"One could perhaps describe the situation by saying that God is a mathematician of a very high order, and He used very advancedmathematics in constructing the universe."
The Bible states: "Know that Jehovah is God. It is he that has made us, and not we ourselves."(Psalm100:3) Our human body shows such wonderful design that one Bible writer was moved to sayto God: "I shall laud you because in a fearinspiring way I am wonderfully made....My bones were nothidden from you when I was made in secret.... Your eyes saw even the the embryo of meme,and in your book all its parts were down in writing."(Psalm139:14-16) A baby develops inside its mother in a wonderful way, Newsweek magazine said of this: "It is quitesimply, a miracle." Then it added: "No techniquet can pinpoint the momentous ime of conception. No scientist can tell what wonderous forces then take over to develop the organs and myriad nerve networks of a human embryo."
Think about our great universe, as well as our own body with its wonderful construction and design. Sound reasoning should tell us these things did not simply evolve or come by themselves. They had to have a Designer, a Creator. Consider other things that we see around us. When you are in your house, ask yourself:Did my desk,lamp,bed, chair,table,walls,or even the houseitself, evolve? Or did they need a maker? Of course intelligent persons had to make them! In what way, then, can it be claimed that our much more complex universeand we ourselvesdid not require a maker? And if God put us here,he surely had a reason for doing so.

Count me one that believes in the existence of God. Proof? Humm, here's my story after I was born, and maybe it can be considered some proof of His existence.
My mom told me that I was born deformed. She took me to several doctors for a cure, but they all told her that I was born that way and there was no way to cure me. She was the sole believer back then, and she took me home after hearing the same news from those doctors. She turned to God for a magic cure. I don't know how long she prayed about this, but God cured me, and I'm perfectly normal--physically speaking. Does this prove God exists?
