My acceptance on the reality of God is based on the "First Cause" argument. We look at things around us and ask where did it come from? A chick comes from an egg that comes from a chicken that comes from an egg. Which came first? I believe God created all things and told them to reproduce after their kind, so God made the first chicken. Everything came from Him. I believe when we look at the intricacies of how things are put together, then we must explain how it is that it came that way, and there again if you have a design, you must have a designer. I call this designer God.
Finally, I found this exceptionally beautiful woman. She married me and gave me many beautiful children. I don't know you, but I know me, and it would take a God to cause a woman to marry me and love me the way she does.

First, are you real? You can see your body, so you might say you are real. But what drives your body? What drives your thoughts? What's your body without the driving force behind it? Can you see this driving foce? Can you say where exactly in your body it is? Just because you cannot see this power within you, do you deny it's existence? So now the question: Are you your body or, are you the power within it? Mind you, your body will perish, but the power within it will never die. This power within you that drives you is called the soul. It's a part of the mighty power called God. God is not an entity to be somewhere. God is a power beyond all powers. It's within you and without you. Call it Cosmic Power, Sub-conscious Power, Almighty, Allah, Brahma, Shiva, Jesus, Jehova or God. It's the driving force behind the entire universe and all in it and beyond it. It cannot be seen. It can only be realised. To realise God, you should go within yourself. You should transcend the conscious and go beyond the sub-conscious.
The truh is, only God is real. Everything else is maya (illusion). You and I are maya. The wealth you own, the money you have, the relationships you hold are all maya. Time too is not real - there is no past, present or future - only timelessness.
Check out TM, Kundalini Yoga, Raja Yoga or any other meditation technique and also study Religons' teachings (with an open mind) on metaphysics. Check out the Hindu Vedas where a treasure of knowledge lies on metaphysics and God. So far I've not come across any other scripture that's got the depth of the Hindu Vedas on these subjects. Also, the ancient Kabalah sciptures & Dead Sea Scrolls are said to provide substantial insights into these aspects. The Old and the New Testaments (The Holy Bible) too shed some light on God and being. There God is spoken of as an entity. The Bible is not that complex like the Vedas or Kabalah, but it lacks the depth of those scriptures. In fact, The Bible is only on the surface as compared to the depth of the Vedas. This is perhaps to make God more easy for Man to understand. In the New Testament there are messages (information) about our being and our relationship to God - but these cannot be understood upfront through the literal meanings of the statements you see there. You got to understanding the deep inner messages. Once you undersand that then you become more enlightened on God and your relationship to that great power.

There is only one reason left that god could be real that science has not yet debunked. before space and time existed scientists today beleive that only matter and anti matter existed equally 50/50. The big bang was created when one micro piece of anti matter jumped the line and touched the matter wich created the big bang. scientists can not explain how the micro piece of anti matter jumped into the matter wich could be credited to god. Until science can debunk the reason why that piece of anti matter jumped over the line I will always beleive it was caused by god. The end.... hope this helps!

Do I think GOD is real?
What a question! When I was 13 or so I was walking home one winterly night in northern Indiana. I was cold! My feet were freezing, and really all I wanted to do was lay down and go to sleep, I prayed, actually yelled “Jesus, make my feet warm” My feet became warm! Not only that, but my mothers car showed up and was there in front of me.
I have gone through so many changes in these last 40 or so years, but ask me if Jesus is real, and I will tell you He is!

I don't think God is real. But to be fair, some people do because they need someone or something to believe in. It's human nature.

I know God is real. I had a baby...seeing her for the first time proved to me that there is a God. There is no way that humans alone could produce such perfection.

look in your self, look around you, look above you, look below you, look every where, every thing tell you there is only one god
and this is the Test to believe in one creator that you can't see
that what all about, this is the Life Test To examine who deserve heaven.
so when you believe you fear god and respect the life god gave you and respect the time you have .
so automatically you became a helpful, peaceful, and decent man/woman that spread the confident and the respect to everybody.
so if you can't believe there is one creator for all what around you
THEN YOU MUST PROVE GOD DOES NOT EXIST

Because I am here and I see all that is around me...to me the only answer for what I'm experiencing...this life... is God. Whatever God may be, or mean to others...to me it just means all that is around me....I believe in the power, the energy that created what we all are living.

Not only real and in the flesh, but with an incredible sense of humor as he passes himself off as President.
