Many people say "Seeing is believing" how is that so? I say to a man to you believe in God he say "yes" then i say do you believe in aliens he says "no". I say why not " I've personally never seen them and I don't go by what others say." So I say how is it that you believe in a God that you never seen and can't believe in aliens that you never seen before at the same time? He said " your right." Then I say whats a cult? he replied " A group of people that believes pretty much the same thing; mostly accociated with negetive things." I say would it be ok to claim religion to be a cult by definition? he was very relunctant but said "yes" Then I asked do you see a world headed towads wars and destruction because of religion? he replied " normal i would ask for your 666 mark but you make a strong point that the only way for peace is to sacrifice the one thing people believe in the most. Mant people would convert fight and died for their religious beliefs; and you are God awfully right?"

Well, seeing is believing, all the rest are simple manifestations. There is no supernatural. Everything is our own mainfestation.

I think it has to do with more than just seeing god, or seeing aliens. Our belief should be based on Evidence of either, namely, written, archeological, scientific, eye-witness evidence. By the way, the definition of a cult is: a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc. But you can add to that, the characteristic of not allowing doubt, shunning unbelievers, and discounting the truth when it conflicts with the leader of the cult's decision.

Very interesting point and I agree with you. I know I am going a little off subject here but. The existence of extraterrestrial life is more probable than the existence of god.
Reasons:
The universe is vast our solar system is a but a spec in our galaxy and our galaxy one of millions of other galaxies.
There are billions of stars out there and trillions of planets. Is it arrogant to believe we are so special that the whole universe was made for us?
Life is more resiliant than we thought it was surviving in the deep ocean tranches without sunlight but instead feeding on the chemicals of our planet.

Yes,
what we see ,only that should be believed,
it's different so many things we can only feel,
but in this matter,
I wish,
we can see God and now only He can
solve the problem of His existence.

i didnt bother to read the question it was too long but seeing is not really believing cause we haven't seen God and we still believe in him. We haven't seen aliens but some people still believe in them. We haven't seen ghosts but I believe in them. Blind people don't see but they have beliefs!!!
Good Question!!!

You see what you want, thus believing is seeing. If you don't believe in something,you don't see it. People don't see the chaos and destruction that goes on around them because they choose not to see it. They would rather stick their ostrichy heads in the ground and pretend the world is beautiful.

Yes and No! You do not have to see the thing to believe in ti but you can see a manifestation of its presence. Do you see air? But you can see that it moves the leaves on the tree. Do you see evil? But you see what it results in. Do you see the love in the heart of your partner? But you see it through their actions.
Similarly, do you see God? No. But He manifests Himself in everything in the world; His Creation.
Peace.

Jesus said a wicked generation will get no sign. Is that because
He did no signs?
It's because wicked people wouldn't believe it if they seen it.
They will just expalin it away.
The Quran says that we get "CLEAR SIGNS from Spirit. But
people say it is obviously sorcery".
They said the same of Jesus.

Seeing is knowing. Not seeing and accept is believing.

Faith "...is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen"
So no, seeing isn't believing...
