Someone brought up an interesting point,?

Question

In answer to one of my questions he said (not verbatim), why do Atheists need proof of God, the signs are all around you! Okaaaaay…What are the signs I am missing?

Answer 1

You and everything around you. Does that sum it up for you?

Answer 2

I wrote at least to that effect as maybe others. Looking around, how does a cell reproduce itself? What makes that flower the way it is? When looking into the design of things and how they work, it can Not be an accident. The odds of something like a cell just happening are so great, it would be easier for a tornado to hit a junk yard and have a new Vet come out of it.
If you are interested, there are books and videos that make this point. Some are technical, but that shows the importance of what I am saying.
I am convinced beyond any doubt that we are where we are in this solar system, in the universe on this earth at this time is no accident and it is planned.

Answer 3

a child's laghter..



haha. i love those answers. i'm a christian, and not because i was raised to be. i just don't see how things could NOT have come to be withoutGod. life is way too complex and diverse and insane to just have happened by chance with evolution and a bunch of random physics and biology. not to say i don't believe in Big Bang or micro-evolution, it's just I think these are God's devices for change and creation. Have you ever studied photosynthesis? Look it up online and read an in-depth 'how-tp' guide of it. Get really intense and study the different cycles anda ll the organelles and the electron chain and stuff. For me, THAT's proof enough. No way would I believe something as common as that has such a ridiculously intense process going on inside it.

Answer 4

In a nutshell, everything. Here is an analogy to chew on.
Numbers do not exist in the real world. You can give me seven apples, or write down the symbol for the number. But the actual number is a concept in out minds. Yet, we constantly accept proof of that concept in the world around us. How many apples we eat, how much gas is put in your tank.

Think of God in the same way. You cannot see the wind, but you can feel it, and know it's presence.

Some things are just not obvious to our intellect and senses.

Good hunting.

Answer 5

Actually coincidences do occur.

According to Einstein's theories in the Grand Cycle, all things happen infinitely. Lottery wins become infinite - everything.

You aren't missing anything - it's just the philosophy filter. You can either look at things mystically or objectively.

When the ancient Greeks found dinosaur bones - they decided to look at it mystically and take it as proof that their gods existed. You could say that the same is occurring today even though we know that they are dinosaur bones.

Answer 6

To a believer, everything counts as proof of the existence of a creator. They say that kind of crap to make themselves feel better about god sending all nonbelievers to hell.

They never stop to think past that point, or they would realize there's no way to derive faith in Christ from the things they claim are evidence of god, and so even if it were true, all those people still wouldn't be saved.

Answer 7

I don't know if this answers your question or not, but one of the main reasons that I believe in Christianity is that the people who knew Jesus were willing to be tortured to death rather than change their story that they saw Jesus return from the dead.

If the apostles were lying about seeing the resurrected Christ, then why didn't they take back their story when they were individually being tortured to death? Every one of the apostles (Except John, who died a natural death in exile on Patmos), were killed for their faith. Wouldn't a liar recant this story to save his own life?

What did the apostles have to gain by making it all up? What good does power, control or fame do for a dead person?

I accept the apostles' story because the witnesses were creditable.

PS: Yes, I have heard the crack about suicide bombers, but the main difference between the modern bombers & the apostles are: (1) the bombers did not see Mommand personally, so they are not eye-witnesses to anything (Unlike Peter, & Paul, who claimed to see Jesus alive with their own eyes and then died rather than take it back); and, (2) the bombers are killing innocent people (others) for their faith, not suffering for it (I assume that blowing yourself up is quick & painless compared with being crucified.).

Answer 8

Have you ever studied human Anatomy. Seriously after taking that class and finding out how many parts of our Body involuntarily function with out our knowledge or you telling it to do so every day. For instance your Artieries are programed to take blood from the heart where as your viens bring blood to the heart, this is thier only function but you never sat down with yourself and said ok veins do this and artieries do that. God Regulates this for you ever since you were born and he does it every day. So now think of all the functions of your body that just automaticlly happen with you willing it so, theres your proof and it's personal. It's awesome that God does this when we don't want to even recognize his existence.

Answer 9

You being here with a working body, brain and spirit is the big one. Look into how complicated and meticulous each individual person is and how all of our bodily parts function/work together. How anyone can say with a straight face that all of us came from a big bang in the cosmos and not from a Creator is amazing. There is no other like you yet you are made in the image of God like the rest of us. Amazing!

Answer 10

1) Plug the wire of a TV into the socket. Dont switch it ON. leave it as it is.
My question to you, if no body switches it ON, can it switch ON by itself?

2) You are lost in a forest, there you see a house in the middle of the forest. you are certain that this house has been built by someone. you may not know who he is but you are dead sure that the house has a owner. WHY?

3)You dont see Infra-Red radiations, yet you believe its existence. you dont see the waves that are meitted while we talk, yet you can feel it. you have not seen a single galaxy yet you believe the presence of millions of galaxies. WHY?

4) You were not present when an Apple fell over Newton. And he discovered Gravity. yet you believe Newton discovered 'Gravity'. have you seen it? Yet you believe in the phenomenon called 'Gravity'.

5) Nobody knows where is the exact location of 'Mind' and the 'Soul' in the human body, yet millions accept its prescence.

If you can affirm all these without seeing them, Can not the whole of the universe be built by ALmighty GOD???

The house in the forest has to have an owner, The Gigantic universe running in precise equilibrium, without an Owner?

GOD exists and HE is only ONE

You cant have your own laws. If you buy a TV. Dont you refer to the instruction manual for the TV? Or you just mess it up as you like it since you OWN it?

The body which we have is not ours. Its a ctually a gift of ALmighty GOD which we have to use it as per his guidelines.

All the rules and Laws made by Man are subject to fail as Man doesnt know whats in store for him in the future. So Bow yourself to The will of GOD... In other words Submit your will to Almighty GOD. Enter Islam which means "Peace acquired by submitting your will to ALmighty GOD (ALLAH)"

Answer 11

The only remark that would fit perfectly as an answer to your question is what someone else already said it before me and I am going to quote him as he explains it thoroughly, He said,"since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles."
