There is no proof, if we believe in God that's all we need for him to existe, God exists in the heart of those who want to believe, and have faith in them. God menas love, so if we have love then, God exists. No proof is necessary!

Good question. Yes, so much. Look all around--all creation speaks..."the heavens declare the glory of God and the earth shows his handiwork." (Psalm 19) A loving God made families, a mom, a dad, who care and reflect God's love to the child, which directly is translated into God's loving the child, as well.
"Concrete proof" also is given by prophecies foretold many years before they occurred. How about that the coming of the Messiah, One who could take away each person's sin, Jesus Christ, was foretold. Even specifying His exact birthplace (see Micah 5:2 & Matthew 6:2) as well as specific details in how and why He would come to die (Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22).
Also, how about the fact that God calls His people, the Israelites a stubborn people who did not receive their Messiah as prophesied (Jerem 7:24 & Mark 16:14)
God is alive and well. Just because he hasn't BOOMed out and called you by name, don't think He doesn't see and know you and everything you think, do, and say. I hope you will consider
for your own soul the God who made this world and all the details He made so perfect. Consider how life on earth would not be possible if innumerable factors were not just so.
Just logically think. Would a loving God create such a wonderful world as ours and intricately set up all the systems for our needs and our fantastic bodies and minds without providing for our spiritual and eternal needs.
It's a natural response to want to Thank God for all we enjoy! This is a kind of proof, too.
God allowed us free will, too. That is part of what caused all the chaos since our free will results in costly consequences. Adam and Eve chose to disobey God's command to them. They received a separation from God and the result of being separate from God is death. God is life and light. God had to provide a way back to Him since people are full of sin, they blow it. Just like once a speck of dirt clouds up a cup of water, so just a little sin contaminates the whole. It's no longer pure. God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to earth to live with and love us, and then to pay the penalty of our sin. "He who knew no sin became sin that we might become the righteousness of God through Him."
That's why Jesus Christ is so wonderful. He took on our sin so we could be cleansed and made whole and pure before God the Father. Our slate is clean.
Call upon Jesus, your Savior, and repent of your own sin. Ask Him to come into your life to reside-- take up permanent residence so He will be there always to guide you and love you because you are the apple of His eye. He really cares.
God bless you. I hope you study the Bible. There is no other book like it. So much wisdom as well as prophecy is found there.

Scientifically, anything seen as proof of God can be explained by other means. I have personally witnessed and experienced many things that prove God's existence to me, but those same things would be easily rejected by someone who is determined to reject. I see that all of creation is a testimony to God, but that one is the greatest arguing point of evolutionists. So I say that yes, there are many different proofs of God, but that same proof will never convince someone who is already convinced of their own ideas.

Faith is paramount. It is your faith that proves your love for God. Taking things on faith is the ultimate trust. Believe in his word and that he will not lead you astray. LUCIFER will test your faith, not God, the more you believe in God the harder Lucifer will push you. But know this God WILL NOT let Lucifer tempt you past your limits. God knows how strong you are and believe me you ARE stronger than you think! Please don't blame God for the bad things that happen to you because he is watching and helping you in small ways. Think of it this way: When something bad happens whether its major or minor it IS always Lucifer. He is always near you trying to fool you into thinking its Gods fault. He wants you to believe God doesn't care but he does! I know sometimes it doesn't seem fair but life in general is not fair. It is how we deal with the bad times that determines what kind of person we are. Are you weak or are you strong? In the end the decision is up too you. Lucifer wants too break you with all his heart and soullessness he wants you to fail. Have faith even though the road seems long, don't give up or give in your reward is not here but in heaven and i hope to see you there. Peace.

I have to quote from my book "The Plain Truth About God-101" (what the church doesn't want you to know!)
We human beings, over the entire course of our existence, have been overwhelmed by the enormity, the complexity, and above all the dangers of our world. As a people, we were well aware that there were powers much greater than ourselves.
To counter these threats to our existence we had to invent a primitive form of religion employing talismans administered by tribal shamans or priests.
Even though we had an innate knowledge of "the gods,” this talisman was our guarantee against being completely swallowed up by the world at large. We had to "invent" spirits with enough power and wisdom to protect and guide us against other spirits who might do us harm. Then the means of controlling those spirits through our local witch doctor!
I use the term invent for the spiritual / religious experiences of our distant ancestors, but there is much more to it than that!There now seems to be as many different types of spiritual beliefs and practices as there are groups or tribes in the world.
In spite of this diversity of belief systems, there is an underlying commonality that is present in every practitioner of every belief! This common denominator is very simply the overwhelming need to have that belief system in the first place.
There are so many types of belief's present in the world today that they naturally cannot all be right. It seems logical that only one of them could be the "True" religion.
This by default means that all the rest are wrong. Actually, in the light of day they are probably all wrong to a greater or lesser degree.
In spite of this, the universality of our common craving for a belief system that offers us comfort and safety against the world makes a very convincing argument for a Higher Power.
Remember the old saying "If there was no God, man would have to invent one.” The only real question is how do we separate the fact of a "God" with the myths of man that have so shaped our lives?

Look in the mirror,do you not see a person of Intelligent Design, a person who has a brain more efficient than any computer in this whole world,,,eyes that can see colors, hands that can grasp objects,etc. But,within each person lies a heart ,a heart to love ,if people can love others, there has to be something that loved them (God)

Proof?
the thing inside you, that's got nothing to do with faith, and more to do with hope, which screams 'God! Help me! in your most desperate situations

You can understand God as much as a 7 year old child can understand about quantum physics. So try to follow what his messengers said from Hazrat Adam to Hazrat Muhammad (SAW)

There is a verse in the bible that answers this: "all of creation speaks of the existence of God, that no man has excuse".
