With your thinking patterns, anyone can say anything exist and get away with it
1. The invisible unicorn exist
2. The invisible giant ant exist
3.. The invisible flying horse exist
How easy is it to say, "I know the above exist because of the signs and I feel it in my heart"?
Oh, I forgot about this one "I have faith"
God is just as fake as the tooth fairy

Just because a blind man cannot see your face, does that mean you don't have one?
Was there more to your question?

I think is a lot like Christ is the Door said: ¨Just because a blind man cannot see your face, does that mean you don't have one? ¨
To live this experience we forget lot's of information, so u can say we are kind of blind and can't see God. But when we become more conscious we can remember and see God. For example I can see and fell God in every tree, flower, clouds or situations that I experience, in myself and other people. I'm not sure we'll ever see God in a physical shape, not even after living this plane. God is everything and has no physical shape for is everything there is, so how can you see it all? To see God you have to use your senses, your mind, your heart and fell it. Believing in God and having faith doesn't mean stop using your mind. We can see air just not the same way we see a stone, is the same with God. You can choose to see God or not! You have your believe and not every one will agree with yours just like you don't agree with the believe of God. Just respect others believes. I read before that we wonder why some atheists think we are stupid, does believing we are stupid makes them fell better about them selves? Different points of view just represent the diversity of the mind and human kind. Believing your point of view is the only point of view, the only true is just not using the brain as well as you can, is just your ego talking. Now can you prove there is no God? Can you prove that? Without saying I can't see it and therefore it doesn't exist because there was a time that people in the other side of the continent couldn't see America and therefore believe they were the only ones here that the earth was flat, but now we know it's not like that, so tell me can you prove there is no God?
And why did u make the same question so many times?

Ok.. on that same thread.. you can't see air, but yet you know it's there right? You aren't in another country, but you have seen it on a map, so logically, it's there right? What if the globe was a lie. What if the other nations we hear about are all made up? What if you are just a figment of someone elses imagination? See you started it, so can you take it too? Maybe you need to have some faith yourself. Scientists are finding new species everyday, does that mean that because you didn't know about them that they aren't real? Sometimes we just have to accept that we don't know everything, that there is always something that is greater, more knowing and better able to see the whole picture then we are. Maybe you might want to think about that for a while.

To answer your question yes I do believe that something can exist even though I have not seen it for example the wind, the air, dinosaurs, things in the bottom of the ocean, people's feelings, a virus, one cell organisms, etc, etc, etc.
I believe in all those things even though I can't see them.
Giants aren't invisible they exist today (technically all you have to be is seven feet tall to rank as a giant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigantism
The same question can be asked about anything. There are some things that we can see with the eye that is not real. The most popular is illisions created by magicians. Another example is counterfeit money.
Think about it. If you believe in the history books you have faith in what someone else relays as a truth that has been written, rewritten and translated to tell the same story. How do you know it's true? How do you know that the people in your history books even existed. You never saw them. Nor where you around when they did whatever they did.
I believe in God and there is more to my belief than blind faith. I have experienced God for myself. No I didn't say anything about a feeling, I said experienced him.
From now until judgement day there will be those who believe and those who don't. It's a matter of your own personal choice.
The same as I choose not to believe in evolution. There is no proof that I can see that humans evolved from monkeys. I believe monkeys evolved from monkeys into a better form of monkey as the same as I believe that over time humans evolved into a better form of human.

Every day I see the works of God's creation. But I have never seen a unicorn, I have seen some very tall men and woman but I have never seen a giant. I have seen many horses But I have never seen a Pegasus. Also I have never seen you and yet I do know that is a good thing. I am happy that you believe in what you do. Why? because all the people that does not think like you can give hope to others that this wold stands a chance of surviving.

For me, it's more about the order of things. Too many things work out too well for it to be jsut a random series of coincidences. Even the greatest Physicists and Mathematicians have believed in a greater being that ordered the Universe. Sir Isaac Newton said that he was merely describing how the Creator's Universe functioned.
But, let's try turning the question around. Apparently, you have to see to believe. So who is writing this response? You can not see me, you only see the effects I leave behind. Yet, you believe that a person is replying to your query. What is the difference between this and believing in God.
And, as a secondary question, why are Christians that try to convert people to Christianity looked down on by so many on this site but atheists that attempt to disprove God and thus convert people to their line of thinking are cheered?

The Tooth Fairy never orchistrated 66 books by 40 some authors over thousands of years. All you have to do is research the truth, instead of believing every lie told by those who can't face the truth that they are not their own gods.
