What scientific evidence exists that supports the existence of God?

Question

Following up from an earlier question from someone else and prompted by someone elses answer,

what scientific proof? If you say the Bible, my reaction is that is a book written by a human being. The fact that it says God wrote it doesn't persuade me, other books say the same thing.

If you say the universe is "complex" and requires a creator, thats just not a scientific statement.

My question stands I really want to read some great answers.

Answer 1

"God" is an empty, nonsensical term. Asking "What supports the existence of God" is like asking "How long was Saturday purple". Both are incomprehensible and impossible and therefore will yield meaningless results.

To even posit that, “A ‘God’ might exist, however improbable” would be to consider the term as meaningful from this particular approach – a view that shall be considered as a false assumption by any rational, intelligent person.

Answer 2

Do you want real answers, you can't handle real answers. Cause you got your mind made up. there is little if any scientific proof. But then there is the conclusions of science and that is what they are conclusions. Even a closed minded person like yourself must admit that. The evidence that God exists is mostly in faith, that I agree with. Something created us. Surely that is a simple to understand truth. If one believes in evolution then the answer is that a one celled animal made an appearance, somehow. And from there became fish. From there decided to raise their-selves up and grow legs. So they did. After growing legs they decided to become something else and so became something else, and so on and so on. Why did this happen?. And better still, why would this need to happen? First came the theory that man evolved from monkeys but since monkeys are still around that theory was changed to common ancestor to cover that pile of do-do.

So why is there a God. We are the single most complex animals that ever existed. We, humans, were created. There is no way that a creature as complex as humans simply evolved, that is absurd. To this point science has proven nothing. And science never will. That is just not possible. So is there a God? Ask 80%
of all humans that are alive today and the answer is yes. The common ancestor of Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindu's, and many other religions is God. Is this scientific, no. Can I do a test tube experiment and prove it? No. The Bible was written as you say by men. The Bible is only a guide, not an absolute. Scientists
have decided that they are smarter then God and have the ability to see beyond our God.

But you ask for a scientific answer. It is simply not possible that mankind evolved. We, humans, can think, why? We don't need to. We only need to survive. We have a purpose which others animals do not. Why? And if we evolved then so did all other animals so why can monkeys climb trees, use they feet like hands, hang by their tails, and overall have much more ability then us? Natural selection states that the fittest survive and others do not. Yes, we can think better then monkeys but why do monkeys out do us in every other way? Natural selection would have put us at the top in all ways, wouldn't it?

The Bible speaks of miracles. The Bible speaks of Christ, the Bible says that, according to eye-witnesses that Christ was killed and three days later rose up from the dead. Does it come down to simple belief? No. Common sense tells us that a supreme being created humans, not some million years of whatever. I believe in God. And until someone can tell me why evolution would happen. And why did it need to happen? And if evolution is an ongoing process, where is it going? Science can not answer those questions and never will be able to. Evolution is an educated guess, nothing else. There is no proof anywhere today that it actually happened.

Answer 3

I have a problem with this sort of question, because the asker is usually cramming two concepts together, that do not fit together. In short, I'm not sure what you mean by "science". There are many sciences!

Do you want me to use math? Chemistry? Medical tests? Fossil evidence? Economics? Repeatable experiments? Geology? Astronomy? Astrophysics? Statistics? Archeology? Volcanism? What?

Yes, I did leave one out on purpose: HISTORIOGRAPHY. The one branch of literary science that you deliberately exclude. Why do you do this? Any proof of God's existence will be found in different people's experiences with God. Many of those experiences (note, I did not say "all", on purpose) will be found in the Bible. You may complain that "the Bible was written by men", but who would you expect to write down their experiences with God? Alf the alien? Who would be recording the scientific evidence you claim to want? The Cylons?

More recent ones can be found that are NOT recorded in the Bible. You just have to know where to look. My biggest problem with the Bible is the back cover. God has not been silent for the last 2, 000 years!

Perhaps you just want to experience things for yourself. I can understand that viewpoint, and even respect it. I'm not sure how "scientific" that viewpoint is; it would reject the existence of volcanos until one had actually been seen and experienced.

Good luck.

How about DNA?
DNA is not just a code but an incredibly complex program for all life.
We accept that Bill Gates did not just have random number generators spit out zeros and ones and Microsoft windows appeared.
We understand he hired thousands of intelligent programmers to write the code and they developed a functioning computer program.
DNA is a program on a far greater magnitude of complexity, microscopically small, and yet we are to believe random amino acids accidental formed into proteins and viola add a million years, you have life!
Biology text books don't carry a chapter on the statistical analysis of the probability of this occurring, because it won't
An eternity of eternities would not be sufficient time.
Things wear out, fall apart entropy enters in.
Programs don't write themselves.
The entire creation testifies there is a Creator, that the universe is ordered, planned and designed.
Albert Einstein said:
"science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with the aspiration toward truth and understanding. This source of feeling, however, springs from the sphere of religion. To this there also belongs the faith in the possibility that the regulations valid for the world of existence are rational, that is, comprehensible to reason. I cannot conceive of a genuine scientist without that profound faith. The situation may be expressed by an image: science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

Answer 5

There is no scientific evidence that supports the existence of "God".

Ignosticism is the view that the question of the existence of God is meaningless because it has no verifiable (or testable) consequences and should therefore be ignored. The term was coined by Rabbi Sherwin Wine, founder of the Society for Humanistic Judaism.

For most purposes, this view may be considered a form of agnosticism (sometimes referred to as "apathetic agnosticism"), and falls under the general category of nontheism.

The "I don't know" of agnosticism ceases to mean "I don't know if God exists or not" and becomes "I don't know what you're talking about when you talk about God." Ignosticism, indicating an ignorance of what is meant by a claim of God's existence.

Answer 6

Statistical analysis of life arising from random processes is a good argument, strong enough to have some non-theists lean towards the view that life was brought here by aliens (rather than created by God).

By the way, there is a difference between evidence and proof.

Answer 7

Science can only go so far no matter how scientificly you break things down weather it is in reguards to religion or anything else for that matter, when you reach the end of what science can prove and your still left with a ? then thats where faith steps in plus what can it hurt no matter what religion a person follows or path they take having a little faith along the way can only help.

Answer 8

Well, what proof is there that God DIDN'T create the world? How can nature , including us, be so balanced, and how can the sun continue to shine, and how can rain keep happening, along with the seasons, etc. by mere chance? It makes sense that someone engineered it that way, don't you think?

Answer 9

Do you really think that if by chance (or design) someone discovered scientific evidence to support the existence of God that it would be shared? Evidence that disproves evolution is not shared, but is pushed under the rug.

Do you know of any scientific evidence that proves that God does not exist?-would you share that with us?

I can't answer you, but I think this guy does:

Not 100% sure. The language is simple, but as I get older my IQ decreases. I found myself losing focus and unable to really analyze his whole essay.
