You can never prove that question one way or the other. You just have to believe what you believe and don't expect proof. Science and religion don't mix.

If by god you mean an all-powerful omniscient, omnipotent deity or group of deities, then I think not. However, if you mean a fairly powerful entity or group of entities, with a highly advanced, if not terminally advanced understanding of our universe operating either within or without said universe, then I think yes. I certainly hope so.

Unfortunately, what a lot of people said above: that you'll have to figure this stuff out on your own, and what it should mean to you, is also the best answer currently available.

You'll need to research this extensively, and keep an open mind a lot of the time, to gather sufficient knowledge to establish a meaningful conclusion suitable to you. The various religious texts (Bible, Qur'an, Talmud, Avesta, etc.) are good places to start. But I also highly recommend high-quality science-fiction (Asimov's short-story "The Last Question" presents an interesting alternative to the Occident's Abrahamic god for example). And scientific examinations of the question, for example the branch of science known as Physical Cosmology tries, amongst other questions, to identify what the ultimate fate of our universe will be, and therefore indirectly tries to answer whether there is a god or not.

The question shouldn't be whether or not there is a God, but rather for yourself, what your own purpose is. Basically, think of the question this way -- what if your purpose here is not to believe in God, but it is to create that Supreme Being. Just a way to cope with all the loss, heartbreak, anger, rage, jealousy and an inumberable amount of anomalies that will manifest upon the opening of Pandora's Box. That creation of a Supreme Being gives the nation's hope.

And for the argument concerning whether or not God could lift a border -- that's the weakest argument since the Catholic church argued that Mary was not married to Jesus...Anyway, for the argument to even suffice, you must set the boudaries...God is described as ominpotent, pluperfect and all the other goodies....so basically He or She can basically do anything outside of the laws of physics. That's like saying that God cannot make square circles...only a being outside of all minds can do the utterly preposterous and amazing.

That's my two cents....

hey dude, there is a God. Who do you think bring about the sky, birds, fishes of the sea the water and even oxygen and air. Imagined coming from work one day and your car broken down on the 95s' and when you look in the wood a distance away you saw a house furnished very well. When you entered that house you see everything is in it's place even television playing but there is no sign of someone. But will come to your mind, wouldn't you think that someone might have done it and it didn't came there by it self. Similar if you we look at the nature of the world and it changes very well we would not plunder over the existence of God. Showily I can tell you that there is a God.

I don't think so because all of those things people say happened like the Jesus walked on water, or that Moses brought all of those plagues to Ramses city. Well I got the answer 2 those so called "acts of god."
Well what if the lake or w/e Jesus walked over was frozen water?
and those plagues
What if there was an unbalance in the ecosystem which made frogs reproduce more causing them to expand into the city? And, the plague were that "mystical force" that killed the first born in every family, was just a group of assassins that were trained to kill the first born child of every family who's house wasn't marked with the red markings?
So my answer is no there isn't a god but, it's your choice believe what you want to believe.

Not in the traditional sense, no. But the universe behaves as if there is a God. Monotheistic religions believe that God is the "mechanic" who made and governs our universe. It is more accurate to say that God IS the mechanics of the universe. Believing that God exists is not foolish, and can lead a person down a safe and healthy path in life. But obviously, the belief in God can do tremendous harm, if the belief becomes self-righteousness.

Nope sorry, no God. Reasoning? The old question "Can God make a boulder so big that he can't lift?" If Yes, then why can't he, he's all powerful. He should be able to do anything. If No, then why, same reasoning. If a god can't work with either of these solutions, then there can be None. No god.

The spell check Gods are not smiling on you.

The question should be "Is there a God?"

The answer, of course, is...........Well, they have been asking that one for centuries. People have fought wars and MILLIONS have perished over that very question.

I'm sure someone on Yahoo Answers knows for sure and can stop all of this questioning.

There are many gods, but only one Supreme God.

There is no scientific evidences that god exists, yet the concept of supreme being is as old as the brief history of mankind. That is something you have to answer for yourself.
