Evidences of God's existence?

Question

hello..... I believe in God with all my heart....I believe he is everywhere and that he is unique....but I have some friends who do not believe in God....they always ask me of some evidences that make them believe in God, I tell them any kind of evidence I know and that why we should believe in God......but they never understand me..... what kind of evidence do atheists want to make them believe in God ? ...thank you....

Cosmology: The Collapse of the Concept of An Eternal Universe And the Discovery of Creation

The idea that the universe had existed forever was discounted and it was scientifically discovered that it had a beginning and was created from nothing.

In the Middle Ages when the Church dominated Western thought, materialism was forgotten. However in the modern period, Western scientists and philosophers became consumed by a curiosity about ancient Greek origins and revived an interest in materialism.

With the coming of the19 th century, it became widely accepted that the universe had no beginning, and that there was no moment of creation. Then, this idea, adopted passionately by dialectical materialists such as Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, came into the20 th century.

This idea has always been compatible with atheism. This is because to accept that the universe had a beginning would mean that God created it and the only way to counter this idea was to claim that the universe was eternal, even though this claim had no basis on science.

To admit creation, one has to admit, in the first place, the existence of a moment when the universe did not exist, and that something came out of nothingness. This is something to which science can not accede.

By supporting the idea of an eternal universe against that of creation, Politzer thought that science was on his side. However, very soon, the fact that Politzer alluded to by his words, "if it is so, we must accept the existence of a creator", that is, that the universe had a beginning, was proven.

This proof came as a result of the "Big Bang" theory, perhaps the most important concept of20 th century astronomy.

The Big Bang theory was formulated after a series of discoveries. In1929 , the American astronomer, Edwin Hubble, noticed that the galaxies of the universe were continually moving away from one another and that the universe was expanding. If the flow of time in an expanding universe were reversed, then it emerged that the whole universe must have come from a single point.

Astronomers assessing the validity of Hubble's discovery were faced with the fact that this single point was a "metaphysical" state of reality in which there was an infinite gravitational attraction with no mass. Matter and time came into being by the explosion of this mass-less point. In other words, the universe was created from nothing.

On the one hand, those astronomers who are determined to cling to materialist philosophy with its basic idea of an eternal universe, have attempted to hold out against the Big Bang theory and maintain the idea of an eternal universe. The reason for this effort can be seen in the words of Arthur Eddington, a renowned materialist physicist, who said, "Philosophically, the notion of an abrupt beginning to the present order of Nature is repugnant to me".

But despite the fact that the Big Bang theory is repugnant to materialists, this theory has continued to be corroborated by concrete scientific discoveries, and has gained credence and many discoveries have been made that prove the creation of the universe.

In the face of all these facts, atheists have been squeezed into a corner.

Thus, the fact arrived at finally by modern astronomy is this: time and matter were brought into being by an eternally powerful Creator independent of both of them. This eternal power is God who is the possessor of infinite might, knowledge and wisdom.

Physics and Astronomy: The Collapse of the Idea of a Random Universe and The Discovery of the Anthropic Principle

A second atheist dogma is the idea of a random universe. The view that the matter in the universe, the heavenly bodies and the laws that determine the relationships among them has no purpose but is the result of chance, has been dramatically discounted.

For the first time since the1970 's, scientists have begun to recognize the fact that the whole physical balance of the universe is adjusted delicately in favor of human life. With the advance of research, it has been discovered that the physical, chemical and biological laws of the universe, basic forces such as gravity and electro-magnetism, the structure of atoms and elements are all ordered exactly as they have to be for human life.

Western scientists have called this extraordinary design the "anthropic principle". That is, every aspect of the universe is designed with a view to human life.

We may summarize the basics of the anthropic principle as follows:

The speed of the first expansion of the universe (the force of the Big Bang explosion) was exactly the velocity that it had to be. According to scientists' calculations, if the expansion rate had differed from its actual value by more than one part in a billion billion, then the universe would either have recollapsed before it ever reached its present size or else have splattered in every direction in a way never to unite again. To put it another way, even at the first moment of the universe's existence there was a fine calculation of the accuracy of a billion billionth.

The four physical forces in the universe are all at the necessary levels for an ordered universe to emerge and for life to exist.

There are many other delicate adjustments that make the earth ideal for human life: the size of the sun, its distance from the earth, the unique physical and chemical properties of water, the wavelength of the sun's rays, the way that the earth's atmosphere contains the gases necessary to allow respiration, or the Earth's magnetic field being ideally suited to human life.

This delicate balance is one of the most striking discoveries of modern astrophysics.

The interesting thing about this is that the majority of the scientists that have made these discoveries were of the materialist point of view and came to this conclusion unwillingly. They did not undertake their scientific investigations hoping to find a proof for God's existence. But most of them, if not all of them, despite their unwillingness, arrived at this conclusion as the only explanation for the extraordinary design of the universe.

Many scientists who have approached the question without prejudice acknowledge that the universe has been created especially for human life. Materialism is now being viewed as an erroneous belief outside the realm of science. The American geneticist, Robert Griffiths, says, "If we need an atheist for a debate, I go to the philosophy department. The physics department isn't much use."

The well-known molecular biologist, Michael Denton writes in his book "Nature's Destiny"," The new picture that has emerged in twentieth-century astronomy presents a dramatic challenge to the presumption which has been prevalent within scientific circles during most of the past four centuries: that life is a peripheral and purely contingent phenomenon in the cosmic scheme."

In short, the idea of a random universe, perhaps atheism's most basic pillar, has been proved invalid.

The supposition whose falsity God reveals in the Qur'an, "We did not create heaven and earth and everything between them to no purpose. That is the opinion of those who disbelieve…" (Qur'an,38 :27 ) was shown to be invalid by science in the1970 's.

Quantum Physics and the Discovery of the Divine Wisdom

When scientists have gone deeper into the atom, they found it shckingly "empty".One of the areas of science that shatters the materialist myth and gives positive evidence for theism is quantum physics.

Quantum physics deals with the tiniest particles of matter, what is called the sub-atomic realm. The matter is composed of atoms. Atoms are made up of a nucleus and several electrons spinning around it. One strange fact is that all these particles take up only some0 . 0001percent of the atoms. In other words, an atom is something that is99 . 9999percent "empty."

An even more interesting fact is that when the nuclei and electrons are further examined, it has been realised that these are made up of much smaller particles called "quarks," and that these quarks are not particles in the physical sense, but simply energy. It now appears that in the material universe, only energy exists. What we call matter is just "frozen energy."

There is a still more intriguing fact: The quarks, those energy packets, act in such a way that they maybe described as "conscious."

There is information behind matter. Gerald Schroeder, an MIT-trained scientist who has worked in both physics and biology, makes some important comments on this subject. In his recent book, The Hidden Face of God: Science Reveals the Ultimate Truth (2001), Schroeder explains that quantum physics is the tool for discovering a universal wisdom that lies behind the material world.

As he puts it: The basis of matter is energy, that matter is actually condensed energy. It may take a while longer for us to discover that there is some non-thing even more fundamental than energy that forms the basis of energy, which in turn forms the basis of matter.

This wisdom is such an omniscient thing that covers the whole universe:

All these facts have moved us to the brink of a startling realization: all existence is the expression of wisdom. In the laboratories we experience it as information that first physically articulated as energy and then condensed into the form of matter. Every particle, every being, from atom to human, appears to represent a level of information, of wisdom.

This means that the material universe is not a purposeless and chaotic heap of atoms, as the atheist/materialist dogma assumes, but is instead a manifestation of a wisdom which existed before the universe and which has absolute sovereignty over everything that exists.

Quantum is really the point where science and theology meet. The fact that the whole universe is pervaded by a wisdom is a secret that was revealed in the Qur'an 14 centuries ago. One verse reads: "Your god is God alone, there is no god but Him. He encompasses all things in His knowledge." (Qur'an,20 :98)

The Natural Sciences: The Collapse of Darwinism and The Triumph of Intelligent Design

Darwin: His theory is now refuted by a great deal of scientific evidence.

As we stated at the beginning, one of the main supports for the rise of atheism to its zenith in the19 th century was Darwin's theory of evolution. With its assertion that the origin of human beings and all other living things lay in unconscious natural mechanisms, Darwinism gave atheists the opportunity they had been seeking for centuries. Therefore, Darwin's theory had been adopted by the most passionate atheists of the time.

But, at the same time, this greatest support for atheism is the dogma that has received the greatest blow from scientific discoveries in the20 th century. The discoveries by various branches of science such as paleontology, biochemistry, anatomy and genetics have shattered the theory of evolution from various aspects.

Paleontology: Darwin's theory rests on the assumption that all species come from one single common ancestor and that they diverged from one another over a long period of time by small gradual changes. It is supposed that the proofs for this will be discovered in the fossil record, the petrified remains of living things. But fossil research conducted in the course of the20 th century has presented a totally different picture.

The fossil of even a single undoubted intermediate species that would substantiate the belief in the gradual evolution of species has not been found. Moreover, every taxon appears suddenly in the fossil record and no trace has been found of any previous ancestors. The phenomenon known as the Cambrian Explosion is especially interesting. In this early geological period, nearly all of the phyla (major groups with significantly different body plans) of the animal kingdom suddenly appeared.

This sudden emergence of many different categories of living things with totally different body structures and extremely complex organs and systems, including mollusks, arthropods, echinoderms and (as recently discovered) even vertebrates, is a major blow to Darwinism. For, as evolutionists also agree, the sudden appearance of a taxon implies supernatural design and this means creation.

Biological Observations: In elaborating his theory, Darwin relied on examples of how animal breeders produced a different variety of dogs or horses. He extrapolated the limited changes he observed in these cases to the whole of the natural world and proposed that every living thing could have come to be in this way from a common ancestor.

But Darwin made this claim in the19 th century when the level of scientific sophistication was low. In the20 th century things have changed greatly. Decades of observation and experimentation on various species of animals have shown that variation in living things has never gone beyond certain genetic boundary.

The Origin of Life: Darwin spoke about a common ancestor but he never mentioned how this first common ancestor came to be. His only conjecture was that the first cell could have formed as a result of random chemical reactions "in some small warm little pond". But evolutionary biochemists who undertook to close this hole in Darwinism met with frustration. All observations and experiments showed that it was, in a word, impossible for a living cell to arise within inanimate matter by random chemical reactions.

Intelligent Design: Scientists studying cells, the molecules, their remarkable organization within the body and the delicate order and plan in the organs are faced with proof of the fact that evolutionists strongly wish to reject: The world of living things is permeated by designs too complex to be found in any technological equipment. Intricate examples of design, including our eyes that are too superior to be compared to any camera, the wings of birds that have inspired flight technology, the complexly integrated system of the cells of living things and the remarkable information stored in DNA, have vitiated the theory of evolution which regards living things as the product of blind chance.

All these facts have squeezed Darwinism into a corner by the end of the 20th century. Today, in the United States and other Western countries, the theory of intelligent design is gaining everincreasing acceptance among scientists. Scientific discoveries show that there is a design in living things which proves creation. In short, science proves once more that God created all living thing

Answer 2

I accept the possibility, however I also am quite clear that belief in unsubstantiated claims is illogical. A proper train of thought is to follow evidence to a conclusion, not to start with a conclusion and accept some evidence of it's validity but discard the evidence to the contrary. There is yet to be any evidence of a deity, and so for now, I do not believe in one. Until evidence is presented, it's just an unsubstantiated claim, of which there are many in this world. The existence of God is just one of them. -edit- There is currently no evidence for the existence of deities, therefore, no experiment that can be performed. Taking someone's word for it and just having faith is not good enough for me. -edit2- It seems you're misunderstanding the concept of a scientific theory. This is not uncommon though, because the colloquial use of theory is different than a scientific theory. A concept starts as a hypothesis, and becomes a theory or a law if it meets the conditions. To become a theory it must: Contain an explanation of a phenomenon. Make predictions that occur everytime they are tested. Be falisfiable, but not yet having been falsified. Be backed by factual evidence. A deity's proposed existence does not meet any of those criteria. Since a deity's existence contains no explanation of a phenomenon, makes no predictions (and couldn't be tested even if it did), cannot be falsified, and has no evidence to back it up, it cannot be called a theory. A deity's existence could not be a scientific law either. A scientific law is a phenomenon of nature that has been proven to invariably occur whenever certain conditions exist. Since a deity is not an occurance, it could not be a law either. Basically the short version of all that is that a scientific laws states WHAT something is doing, a scientific theory explains WHY it does that. It simply falls into a matter of evidence of existence, not theory or law. As I mentioned earlier, we have no evidence of the existence of a deity at this time.

Answer 3

Well, there is one things you COULD try and that is to ask them if they've ever had a 'close call' when driving; or avoided any type of accidental injury because something made them look up or behind them just in time. Who would they think that it was that gave them the notion to move out of the way? What can they say, "sixth sense", which God did bless me with. He is ALWAYS saving me at one time or another. Don't know where I'd be without Him. Isn't he just fantastic?

Never fear, and when you pray, be certain to include them in your prayer-time. Just ask God if He will remove the spirit of doubt from them and any evils that may be near them. That is all we can do for those who do not believe. They must want to change on their own. As Christians we cannot pray that God changes them; only that He assist in removing the spirit of doubt. The Lord will be returning soon; so there will be plenty of evidence when the Heaven's open up and the angels began to sound their trumpets and sing. If you should hear of other things, don't believe it. Jesus went out as a lamb, but will return as a lion, according to scripture. Try going on to kcm.org. That is Kenneth Copeland Ministries. I've been following their Bible teachings for years now. If you sign up for the newletter, you can get new knowledge every day in your e-mail. And it never fails. Every day I get a message that I needed. You can also submit a Prayer Request and just ask if they will pray in agreement with you regarding your friends and tell them the same as you said here. They will know how to advise you, and they are wonderful.

Answer 4

Spirituality, religion, Faith, are all very personal issues. I know what it's like to believe deeply in something, and want to share that experience with others, and want them to see or believe as well. Unfortunately, this world has gotten a bit cynical. I believe the best thing we all can do (especially those who have strong spiritual beliefs) is to lead by example. Be filled with Light, and the Love of the God we believe to be true and right, and lead a life that is worthy of being watched and admired, through that Light. And then, be very open to communications from those curious about your spiritual happiness.
The last thing people want is to be forced or preached at. I am not suggesting you are doing so, but in the "olde days" there was a lot of "recruiting" into religions and practices, and I think people really need to see proof.. which of course.. is you :).
Good luck, and Brightest of Blessings.. Lotus

Answer 5

As an atheist myself I can tell you, you aren't going to convince them. Some people just don't believe. All those arguments everyone posted will not make the least bit of difference to an atheist, in fact a few of them are down right silly. There is no real evidence and that is why everyone has different beliefs. I am going to assume they aren't bad people, they just don't believe in God, so if you are friends and they aren't bad people what is wrong with that? I am not saying don't try to convince them, but remember if you do it often enough they will tire of it, why not just let them have their beliefs as you have yours.

Answer 6

Have you told them to look up at the stars in the night time sky? How it goes on and on. How amazing is that? Look at the beauty of the sky during the day, the beautiful blue, white clouds. Imagine the oceans, now imagine underneath, alll the sealife. How wonderful is all that. How could all this just be. How could you (your friends) not believe in a superior being. An awesome loving God that created all this and more.

Answer 7

I was fascinated when i realised that i am Body and Soul. My body is an instrument for my soul and i begin to read about the spiritually life.
Other things can fascinate the mens ,there aren't rule.They must read,the most readed book of the world The Bible,in the Old Testament God is there as Spirit,in teh New Testament God is Jesus. The Bible is real history. Say to they read more on: www.jnsr.be/... because God speaks in our days too.If they love the true,the love,the hope,the charity,the life..they love God,but they don't know that,but God knows and loves them.

Answer 8

Can you imagine what would happen to a country without a leader? Or a company without a CEO? Both will be in chaos and disorder. Same thing goes to the universe. There is a great power that controls this universe so that it will be in order and that great power is GOD..You know what,those atheists only believe what they see with their eyes..They don't know the true meaning of FAITH..Believe in something even though that thing cannot be seen with your eyes is what we call faith...Have faith in God and He will put His mercy and blessings on you.

Answer 9

If ordinary people were contacted directly by God on a regular basis, that'd be proof enough for me. Why do our "contacts" with Him occur almost entirely inside our own heads? Why con manifestations of God's presence be so easily explained by other phenomena? Surely God is able to communicate with each of us individually without our having to believe or wanting to believe as a prerequisite?

Answer 10

THE HOLY BIBLE IS THE PROOF,IT IS THE WORD OF GOD.
FIRST WE HAVE TO BELIEVE,FOR GOD IS A SPIRIT.
Scripture given by inspiration of God
2Tm:3:16: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2Tm:3:17: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
WE ARE NOT TO MAKE THEM BELIEVE,IT IS A CHOICE.GOD GAVE THE WORD FREELY,LET THEM COME TO THE LIVING WATER ON THEIR OWN FREE WILL.NOT ALL WILL BE SAVD

Answer 11

Your friends don't really want evidence. It is a rhetorical question. They, like I , have already decided against the existence of God, and this is a technique used to make you think critically about your own bliefs. Do you find the evidence compelling?
