Can you prove God is real has been asked in some form over 750 ways on yahoo answers. Why,?

Question

Interesting to note that jim_darwin asks this question in some form at least once every 20 times according to the similar questions. So that means I've asked this question on yahoo answers in some form approxametely 37 times.

Why? Why do people not use the Found similar questions option?

Answer 1

I picked you as my fav person in here that asks questions.
I think intelligence in here lacks and you seem to make sense.
But I don't agree with you on evolution, but that is besides the point.
I agree with your statement about the question and many others that is asked over and over.
Keep up your good work.

Answer 2

I am new to Yahoo Answers so I have only seen the question once or twice. I did not know the "found similar options" existed. I don't know why you have asked the question 37 times, did you not check to see if you had asked it before? I did get in an argument with a 12 year-old about God, is there an option for that?Because if there is I would like to opt-out.

Answer 3

Some reasons that I can think of:

1. That it is by design that this question is being asked in different forms so that more and more people may understand and people who have seen it many times may still "remember" (given that it is easy to get lost in the daily lives we lead)

2.Because there are countless ways to approach a single question and hence the Universe is probably scheming to bring forth a complete 360 degree understanding

3.Simply because the askers dont read history.

Answer 4

It's the same reason kids like to tell other kids Santa isn't real.

For one it's a power trip. They know something you don't, and you're stupid for not knowing it.

Second, Christians can be so freaking annoying. Seriously give it a rest sometime.

Christians in America have never felt the prosecution. Don't argue with this because it's fact. The problem this causes is that they don't have empathy for others. Of course we should teach Christianity in school. Of course under god should be in the pledged. Of course you should swear on a bible in court.

There is a constant message from the Christians in America that anyone else is wrong.

That is why people like to prove them wrong.

Answer 5

Dear Jim Darwin,

Excellent observation.

Your observation would suggest that people are indeed very curious (or searching earnestly) about the existence of God.

Thank you for reminding us about the Found similar questions option...

Regarding the existence of God...

Please be aware that there is scientific and intellectual evidence for the existence of God (e.g., see http://www.godsci.org/gs/godsci/evidence.htm)

I used to be an atheist. Over a period of time however, I grew convinced of the existence of the Christian God, and ultimately committed my life to Christ (e.g., see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/seek.html ).

Cordially,
John

Since it is not possible to scientifically demonstrate either evolution or special creation, faith is required to accept either teaching. But faith in the right thing is not wrong. The Bible says, "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6). "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). A British wit once described "evil lution" as "the substance of links hoped for, the evidence of fossils not seen." How right he was!
Broadly speaking, people fall into one of three categories:
Creationists: Those who believe that a supernatural Being (God) made the universe as recorded in Genesis chapter one. The Church of God International, along with millions of Bible-believing Christians and Jews, falls into this category.
Evolutionists: Those who believe that the universe came into existence billions of years ago and that life on earth evolved of its own accord by some inexplicable power. One does not have far to look to find many who hold this view.
Theistic Evolutionists: The theistic evolutionists attempt to integrate the two doctrines. However, the doctrines of creation and evolution are so strongly divergent that reconciliation is totally impossible. Theistic evolutionists believe that God was involved in the creation, but that He took thousands-perhaps millions or billions (do we hear "trillions"?)-of years to do so. Although many hold this view today, such syncretism reduces the message of the Bible to insignificance. The conclusion is inevitable: There is no biblical support for theistic evolution.
Does It Really Matter What One Believes Concerning the Origin of the Universe?
It matters a great deal what we believe concerning the origins of the universe and of life itself because if the universe and life on earth evolved over billions of years, then:
The Genesis account of creation and the hundreds of Bible verses that refer to the creation are pure fiction. In other words the so-called Holy Bible is, itself, riddled with the very thing it strictly forbids: lies, suppositions, and superstitions.
Virtually all the Old and New Testament writers were deluded-because they all believed in the creation. This would include all the prophets of old, all the apostles, and even Jesus Christ Himself.
If life on earth evolved of its own accord, it would mean that man is not accountable for his actions to a supernatural Being, and that we could make or break so-called "moral laws" with impunity. After all, "if there is no God, there cannot be a Judgment Day. So why bother about moral behavior: let us eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die."
In the final analysis, if evolution is true and the Bible is false, there would be no sin, since there would be no God, no Lawmaker, and no laws to break. It follows that, if there were no laws to break-and the Bible defines sin as "the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4)-there would be no sin. If there is no sin, we would not need a Savior to redeem us from the penalty of breaking those laws (Romans 6:23) and Christ would have died in vain. In short, evolution is a complete denial of everything the Bible stands for.
These are the inevitable conclusions that will flow in the wake of a society that rejects the basic teaching that God created the universe. The matter of origins is very important because society's behavior and destination depend upon it. In his book, Evolution or Creation? (page 2), Henry M. Morris, Ph.D., confirms this point. He writes:
"Each person needs, more than anything, a sense of his own identity and personal goals, and this is impossible without some sense of his origin. What a person comes to believe about his origin will inevitably condition what he believes about his destiny."
Lenin is quoted as saying that religion is the opiate of the people, but the truth is that evolution is the opiate of the atheist!

Answer 7

Thanks Jim!! I might be the only one who actually checks for similar questions, if you see my short list of questions I actually asked, I think only one has been a repeat question. Sad thing though, usually if a question has already been asked, they are closed to new answers, however that doesnt mean the asker cannot find and answer among those answers. But... I digress... back to the theological thingy :)

Answer 8

Because we do it to get a laugh out of the answers from the religious nuts. Reading the old answers is boring. I want fresh material. And, considering your picture, shouldn't you be at a sci-fi convention with the rest of the virgin nerds?

Answer 9

Because I'm in the habit of scratching my feet around in the dust and pecking at my seeds like a doubting Thomas...

Answer 10

I guess both religious and non-religious people are prone to get bored and ask the same stupid questions in various forms.

LOL! :P
