Funny how God showed up a lot when there were only a few thousand people on Earth, and all concentrated in one area. (I'm talking about the Bible.) You think he'd show up again now that we are 6 billion strong and destroying his creation and ourselves (his divine offspring), from all areas. Still have faith now? Kinda makes the Bible look like ancient fables written by Man to explain the wonders of the world. Why is the sun bright and the sky blue? Well, I think we answered those questions already.

PLEASE NO BIBLE QUOTES. That does not prove anything. It was written by men thousands of years ago and the translation has been altered so many times, you can't possibly understand what they really said anyway.

Yeah i still have faith becos God is present right here and now, even as i am answering this question. If ur little low on the God experience, i suggest u turn ur life over to Him and start up a relationship with Him. In the Bible ppl had actual relationships with God n that's y He was ever present. God is and 4ever will be if we only allow Him n even if we don't He still will be if we ever need Him.

. Sorry but to understand you must refer to the Bible. If you read nothing else...Read Isaiah 53. The prophet is describing the birth life and death of Jesus. He wrote it 200 years before Christ was born. Jesus came to fulfill the prophecy. He also came to die for you....even if you were the only person living on the Earth he would have still done it just for you alone. Incredable isn't it?

He is in my heart.
The existence of God as well as the Bible being the Word of God can be proved through the vehicle of prophecy. To see the evidence of this, we must first establish the fact that God is a spirit who dwells outside of our physical time domain--that is, in eternity. In the Bible, God describes Himself in Isaiah 57:15,
"For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: 'I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit.'"
If God dwells in the realm of eternity as the Bible states, then He must be able to declare future events as if they had happened in the past. We who live in the physical restraints of time and space have the disadvantage of seeing the world according to a timeline. But God sees the past and the future as one complete picture.
"Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure,'" Isaiah 46:9-10
So through the vehicle of prophecy, God throws down the gauntlet to all the other "holy books" and all the other "gods" that dare to claim the title. The God of the Bible challenged in Isaiah 41:22-23,
"Let them bring forth and show us what will happen; let them show the former things, what they were, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare to us things to come. Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods; yes, do good or do evil, that we may be dismayed and see it together."
OK, there is the challenge from the God of the Bible. No other book contains prophecy that has been fulfilled with accuracy. Some would say that others twist scripture interpretation to make prophecy "appear" to be fulfilled. A silly notion, seeing that so many of these prophecies (that were fulfilled to the letter) were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls--written many years before fulfillment. I have written one study based on one chapter in Daniel. In it can be found 16 in-depth prophecies regarding the rise of Alexander the Great and the subsequent rule of his generals afterward. I have paralleled the prophecy with the fulfillment from historic literature. You can find the study here http://tinyurl.com/lhwnb
This study only covers one chapter. There are hundreds more regarding the coming of the Messiah, the calling of Cyrus the Mead by name to allow the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem, and the re-establishment of the nation of Israel. See the list of prophecies at this link... http://www.konig.org/page3.htm
Isaiah 34:16
"Search from the book of the LORD, and read: Not one of these shall fail; Not one shall lack her mate. For My mouth has commanded it, and His Spirit has gathered them."
2 Peter 1:16-21 (condensed)
For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty...and so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place...for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

God is all around us, in our hearts, in our minds, in our souls. He is here always. It is us that has to chose to know Him and let Him into our lives. He is our Lord, our God, the Father. Praises to Him and all that He has done for us.

God is omnipresent, a lot of people just don't acknowledge it.
