Do you know of any concrete evidence to turn me on to God?

Answer 1

Just how concrete are you looking for? Scientific evidence? The continuity of the Bible?
The fact that you're asking (if you really want to know, that is, and you're not just looking for the easy "there is no God" type of answer) is evidence in itself that there is a God.
There is also scientific evidence:
1. The complexity of our DNA codes. There is just no way for them to be created, on their own, without some kind of catalyst.
2. Once scientists broke down the cells of all life on Earth, they found that each was comprised of quarks, which is sound.
God spoke, and it came into being.
3. Frederick Hoyle, one of the top scientists and astronomers of the last century, conducted a study into the probability of one single-cell life form being produced by random chance. His research led him the conclusion that there is a chance of one in 10 to the 40,000th power. In science, anything over 1 in 1050 is considered impossible.

There are so many more reasons, but I figure this is enough. If you would like to know more, may I recommend some books for you? Here goes:
Evidence that Demands a Verdict by Josh MacDowell. When he first started the book, he was an atheist who was setting out to prove the Bible wrong. What he found compelled him to become a Christian.
Just about anything by Lee Strobel. He has a whole series that prove the possibility of God, using scientific evidence.

Mm, and the Koran was NOT written over four thousand years ago. It was written about 1500 years ago, though some parts of it include the Old Testament of the Bible.

Answer 2

I'm touched by your question, because you sound exactly like me 10 years ago.

The day you decide to be open-minded enough to accept that there's more to life than living and dying, then you will see all of the evidence that has been around you from the begining. I'm not saying that you're not open minded, but it takes a real open mind to first accept that there might be more.

Think about a time when you really felt loved. Really think. When it's there, it' like an electricity in the air. Love from other people can actually be felt. Next time you feel that, tap into that energy and focus on it. There is a small bit of scripture that says, "God is Love". When you feel love, you are feeling God coursing through you.

Look out, because once you have this revelation, the blinders will come off, and you will see many times in your life where there were signs and evidence of God.

Jesus loved everyone, he did not judge, he did not exclude. Find a good NON-DENOMINATIONAL church, (like a willow creek church), and start going, and listening. You WILL find the connection that your looking for.

I won't list all that He has shown me, because it will be different for you. But trust me, you WILL find Him if you look.

Concrete?
How many things do we do in life without concrete evidence?

I can't tell you with certainty that anything will happen, so why live in the world of black and white.

Answer 3

The Quran was written over 4000 years ago, without even a slight change since. Not one letter has changed from the original text.

That said, there is evidence in the Koran that shows that the text came from a higher being, because there are statments of events that could not have been described without recent scientific discovery.

Ofcourse, just like anything, this can be debated. But it's enough proof for me. But just for the record, I'm not trying to convert anybody here. Just showing that I'm not silly for beleiving in something.

Answer 4

I just posted this as an answer to another question, so sorry for the repeat.

I can prove God in two ways, without using Creation and without using the Bible.

1) The existence of evil is proof of God.

We all agree that evil exists – in fact we object to things we call evil (war, poverty, Republicans, liberals, whatever). So, what is evil? Not what are examples of evil (rape, murder, etc…) but what makes something evil? What makes something evil is whether it deviates from some idea of objective good. In other words, there has to be some objective standard of good in order to measure whether something is evil. C. S. Lewis said “how can a man call anything crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line?”. If there is no good, how then can we call anything evil? But there doesn’t seem to be any way to account for an objective standard of good unless there is a God. We ourselves cannot serve as that standard. Even the best of us have lied and stolen at sometime in our lives (deviations from good) so we ourselves cannot be used as a standard for good. So, evil is evidence of good; good is evidence of God; therefore evil is evidence of God.

2) It seems to me that if there is no God then there is also no ultimate justice.

Between the years 1990 and 2000 there were 200,000 murders in the U.S. Approximately 100,000 of those are unsolved (this is from the Census Bureau of 2000). That means that there are potentially 100,000 murderers that have never been brought to justice and most likely may never be. That means that they have committed the perfect crime - they have killed another person and gotten away with it. Does it seem reasonable that someone could live out the rest of their life and never pay for such a crime? Think of the outcry when an innocent child is raped and murdered. We demand justice! But what justice is there for the victim whose murderer is never caught? If there is no ultimate justice, then we can do whatever we like in this world and when this life is over, it’s over – there is no penalty. If God does not exist, then there is no true justice.

Answer 5

Absolutely not. People believe in God based on faith, not evidence. However, the question you may want to ponder is the very existence of the universe. Everything must have some sort of beginning, so how did the universe begin? These kind of questions are enough to make your head spin, aren't they?

Answer 6

I poored some concrete the other day and out of nowhere a virgin mary statue and jesus statue appeared. Now there's some concrete evidence.

Answer 7

I have to agree with with samelisiah (spelling?) if there is no God where or how can we measure evil? Certainly we see evil and how do we know, instinctively, thats its evil? No one has to tell us "that is evil or this is evil" we just plain know it. I think my email is out there, if you would like a more personal exchange on ideas then i would make myself available for any questions no matter how many to help you find the answer(s) you seek. He is out there and alot closer than you think. However, i do not endorse "religion" not any. I am of the Protestant "tree" as opposed to Hinduism or Buddhism or Islam. But the answers are out there.

Answer 8

Define "concrete." I have evidence of God, but it's not printed on the menu at McDonalds.

Answer 9

No I don't but I have some concrete evidence to make you believe in leprechauns. Ever see a box of lucky charms? Yup...picture of a leprechaun. proves it.....they exist. Can't give you any evidence of god, cause there are no pictures.

Answer 10

Try reading these two: "A Case for Faith" by Lee Strobel
"Without a Doubt" by Kenneth Samples

Much like gravity and the wind, we can't see those things, but there is sufficient evidence to "see" they exist.

Answer 11

your alive, right. read the Bible, all the evidence you need.
Just for your information.
There were 300 predictions that all came true.
The chance that this is all by chance is
1 chance in 10 to the 56th. (a 1 with 56 zeros)
pretty good odds to me.
I'd bet on that wouldnt you ( I dont gamble, I already know.)
