Is there really a God?

Answer 1

Absolutely yes. Believing in Him isn't easy, and following Him even less, but it is all 100% completely worth it. There ARE somethings worth believing in, even if it's hard. Don't give up.

Answer 2

What you really should be asking:

Is there really a Santa? It's about the same thing. Difference is at 8 kids get let in on the secret that it's all nonsense, with God...ummm

Let's just say alot of old men and church ladies would lose a lot of power without a guilt producing imaginary sky friend. Afterall if you're going to tell a lie, tell a big one and Gawd is the biggest one of all.

Answer 3

Think of it as you would a scientific proof.

You can not prove a negative ("Prove that there is not an invisible, immaterial unicorn that makes no noise standing behind you."), so the burden of proof is upon the people who say that there IS a god.

Where is the proof? One scrap of empirical, objective evidence?

None has ever been provided. It's all "feelings" and "visions" and shrouds that are only a couple of hundered years old.

If there was a god, one simple apperance on the tonight show, with a bit of walking on water in front of the Amazing Randi, and all would be solved.

Answer 4

I can't pull out proof that He is there. If I could faith would mean nothing. How ever God doesn't ask for blind faith. He have given and I can show you scientific evidence that God created the world. This long but is you want scientific evidence it's worth the read... Jim

Dr. Charles McCombs is a Ph.D. Organic Chemist trained in the methods
of scientific
investigation, and a scientist who has 20 chemical patents.

"Life in a Test-tube," appeared in 1953, the evolutionary community
became very
excited because they viewed the work of Stanley Miller and Harold Urey
as scientific
proof that life could have been formed from chemicals by random chance
natural
processes. In that classic experiment, Miller and Urey combined a
mixture of
methane, ammonia, hydrogen, and water vapor and passed the mixture
through an
electric discharge to simulate lightning. At the end of the experiment,
the products
were found to contain a few amino acids. Since amino acids are the
individual links
of long chain polymers called proteins, and proteins are important in
our bodies,
newspapers quickly reported there was laboratory evidence that now
proved life came
from chemicals.

As a Ph.D. Organic Chemist, I have to admit that the formation of amino
acids under
these conditions is fascinating, but there is a major problem. Life was
never
formed in that experiment. The product was amino acids, which are
normal everyday
chemicals that do not "live." Even unto this day, there is no known
process that
has ever converted amino acids into a life form.

Ever since 1953, scientists have been asking if the formation of amino
acids in
those experiments proves the claim that life came from chemicals? Then
I realized
that a discussion of the facts would inevitably lead to a discussion of
the subject
of chirality. Chirality totally destroys the claim that life came from
chemicals.

Although two chemical molecules may appear to have the same elements
and similar
properties, they can still have different structures. When two
molecules appear
identical and their structures differ only by being mirror images of
each other,
those molecules are said to have chirality. Your left and right hands
illustrate
chirality. Your hands may appear to be identical, but in reality, they
are only
mirror images of each other, hence the term handedness. For this
reason, chirality
can exist as a right-handed or a left-handed molecule, and each
individual molecule
is called an optical isomer.

When a random chemical reaction is used to prepare molecules having
chirality,
there is an equal opportunity to prepare the left-handed isomer as well
as the
right-handed isomer. It is a scientifically verifiable fact that a
random chance
process, which forms a chiral product, can only be a 50/50 mixture of
the two
optical isomers. There are no exceptions. Chirality is a property that
only a few
scientists would even recognize as a problem. The fact that chirality
was missing
in those amino acids is not just a problem to be debated, it points to
a
catastrophic failure that "life" cannot come from chemicals by natural
processes.

Let's look at chirality in proteins and DNA. Proteins are polymers of
amino acids
and each one of the component amino acids exists as the "L" or
left-handed optical
isomer. Even though the "R" or right-handed optical isomers can be
synthesized in
the lab, this isomer does not exist in natural proteins. The DNA
molecule is made
up of billions of complicated chemical molecules called nucleotides,
and these
nucleotide molecules exist as the "R" or right-handed optical isomer.
The "L"
isomer of nucleotides can be prepared in the lab, but they do not exist
in natural
DNA. There is no way that a random chance process could have formed
these proteins
and DNA with their unique chirality.

If proteins and DNA were formed by chance, each and every one of the
components
would be a 50/50 mixture of the two optical isomers. This is not what
we see in
natural proteins or in natural DNA. How can a random chance natural
process create
proteins with thousands of "L" molecules, and then also create DNA with
billions of
"R" molecules? Does this sound like random chance or a product of
design? Even if
there were a magic process to introduce chirality, it would only create
one isomer.
If such a process existed, we do not know anything about it or how it
would work.
If it did exist, how were compounds with the other chirality ever
formed? Even if
there were two magical processes, one for each isomer, what determined
which
process was used and when it was used, if this was a random chance
natural process?
The idea of two processes requires a controlling mechanism, and this
kind of control
is not possible in a random chance natural process.

However, the problem with chirality goes even deeper. As nucleotide
molecules come
together to form the structure of DNA, they develop a twist that forms
the double
helix structure of DNA. DNA develops a twist in the chain because each
component
contains chirality or handedness. It is this handedness that gives DNA
the spiral
shaped helical structure. If one molecule in the DNA structure had the
wrong
chirality, DNA would not exist in the double helix form, and DNA would
not
function properly. The entire replication process would be derailed
like a train
on bad railroad tracks. In order for DNA evolution to work, billions of
molecules
within our body would have to be generated with the "R" configuration
all at the
same time, without error. If it is impossible for one nucleotide to be
formed with
chirality, how much less likely would it be for billions of nucleotides
to come
together exactly at the same time, and all of them be formed with the
same
chirality? If evolution cannot provide a mechanism that forms one
product with
chirality, how can it explain the formation of two products of opposite
chirality?

Chirality is not just a major problem for evolution; it is a dilemma.
According to
evolution, natural processes must explain everything over long periods
of time.
However, the process that forms chirality cannot be explained by
natural science
in any amount of time. That is the dilemma, either natural processes
cannot explain
everything, or chirality doesn't exist.

Answer 5

how can there not be a God? Look around you. You may not have seen everything, but imagine the mountains, the oceans, the animals, God is everywhere. He created this Earth and everything in it, including you. God loves you, and wants you to love him. If you have neverbeen too a church, i would recommend going to one. You can learn all about how great God is. In the Bible, mostly the Old Testament, it talks about God, in the New it talks about his son jesus. He died for your sins. He loves you very much and will forgive you of your sins. Check it out. If you don't have a Bible, I would get one. Read the book of john or even just John 18 and 19 and you will get what I am saying. john 3:16 too. Check it out

Answer 6

Ill answer with some logical reasoning.

Q1.When you break a code of law, are you going to be questioned eventually? Answer: yes...when or if youre caught you sure will be

Q2. When your lover or spouse breaks your heart, wont you ask him or her 'why??' Answer: yes..definitely

Q3. Is the current international understanding of fairness is that those who break the law will be punished eventually? Answer: yes, its all so necessary.

Q4. so if humans can do these, dont you think someones gonna do the same to you when youve died and not been caught for any of your misdeeds?

Answer 7

Personally I doubt it, but you never know. If God exists, he may also have the ability to hide himself from us, so as the Rumsfeldians says, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I suppose thats why its called faith - you have to assume stuff without evidence. Sometimes you may be wrong, sometimes you may be right.
