don't waste your time posting to them. they won't give you anything you can understand. they always rebut with the same thing over and over again. good luck as we have posted many questions to them with no reasonable responses.

It is well-known that laws of science exist. But what causes these laws to come into existence? I believe God did. God is outside of space and time, and therefore, has existed for eternity. God was the first cause of the universe. No, I'm not a 6-day creationist, either. I believe in evolution. However, I believe that God had some role in that process, although we'll never known what role He played. He used evolution with the idea that he knew that we should be in awe at this marvelous feat of evolution. He didn't intend for us to doubt it.

We exist. This should be proof enough. Atheism has no viable explanation as to why the universe came into being. If there was nothing before the universe, then something can never come out of nothing. However, with that being said, something cannot come out of nothing unless there is something there to create it: God.

The cosmos. The infinite multitude of stars is just too vast to have developed without a Higher Power playing some role in their evolution and development.

I would say Creation but of course everyone can have doubts no matter what proof.
How can you say that somewhere billions of years ago nothing exploded and somehow created the universe.
Another proof is human nature, have you ever see two people argue? One will accuse the other of doing something wrong and will often reference a standard like "that's not fair" not the other person will not say, "We'll it may not be fair to you, but its fair to me."
He will say, "Of course its fair and this is why."
They obviously have a common ground for fair play or a higher standard that they are referring to. Even when nations get together in the UN they all seem to have this idea of some standard every one would follow.
Now if this standard exists then there must be a ultimate Standard keeper. Someone who makes up and personifies this standard. Someone like God.

What proof do you have that He doesn't exist?

All I have to know to prove that there is a Creator is to look around at all of the complex life forms and an orderly galaxy and the fact that our planet alone defies all of the odds when it comes to size, distance from the sun, moon, axial tilt, chemical composition, etc

You can believe that we are just some freak cosmic accident with no purpose whatsoever for being here if you want. But like Joshua said "as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." Jos 24:15

you must take a good look at the world around you.
if you look at a blade of grass for example, it is so complex that even scientists are amazed at it's structure.
looking into the far reaches of space can be mind blowing
looking at the tiniest microbe can be so complicated.

Scientists cannot reproduce life. If all scientists were totally honest with themselves, they would agree that life itself, the reproduction of it, the very essence of it, cannot be explained or ordained by the random possibility (we are talking 10 to the 400th power) that amino acid cells met by chance in some primordial soup billions of years ago.

On the other hand, the bible lists over 700 prophesies about Jesus. The probability of only one of them coming true is 10 to the 400th power - or close to it. Guess what? ALL of them came true. Trying to calculate the odds on that is totally mind boggling.

I can't prove to you or even convince you that God exists. The point is, you have nothing to lose (and apparently everything to gain) by considering that he COULD exist.

SOMEONE had to create you--you didn't get here on earth by yourself. No chimpanzee, although they think similarly to humans, did it because homosapiens (you) are the highest life form. No fish could produce you for the same reason. The evolution of man through time doesn't "hold" because, although the heads were generally bigger as the types of man evolved through the years, the brains of these people were never as large as the present group of us--hence, the capacity of what the brain could do and hold was smaller. The Big Bang Theory doesn't "wash"--everything has to come from something. You can't just "blow into the world". As for things created around you such as trees, grass, flowers, mountains, etc., they had to be created, at the BEGINNING, by someone. Present man knows a great deal about all of this, but he didn't BEGIN it.

Well first you have to understand that knowledge can be credibly gained through more than just the scientific method, people often know their in danger based on nothing more than a gut feeling, two or more credible witnesses pass as evidence in a court of law, etc. So let me know if that make sense, and then I can tell you more how I know without a doubt that God lives.

Have a good day.

The proof is two-fold. First...the empty tomb. Christianity is the ONLY 'religion' that can boast an empty tomb of the one who is worshipped. No other 'faith' can do this. Buddah is a fat little man in a grave. Mohammed is a man who's bones reside in the grave.

Second...the disciples' testimony. They were WITNESSES to the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Over 40 times in the book of ACTS alone, the disciples/apostles of Jesus reiterate that they were witnesses to the resurrection and the miracles. All of the disciples except for John, died a martyr's death. John died in exile of natural causes. But all of the other disciples were martyred. NO MAN dies for a lie. NO MAN. The disciples would not willingly die for something that they KNEW to be false. They KNEW and had EXPERIENCED the living Christ, the crucified Christ, and the RISEN Christ. They were witnesses to these facts. A person is only willing to die for something that they KNOW to be true. This is what PROVES the existence of God to me.

Y are u asking Christians? If u want proof of God, what makes u think the creator of the multiverse is interested in 1 sect on a small planet on the edge of one galaxy among billions in an infinite number of universes? U r asking the wrong people.

'Course they can! Just like everyone else! Go to war and kill everyone that disagrees! How else do you expect all this religious crap to be sorted out? Are you SURE God DOESN'T exist? Nobody should be goddamned sure!!! Maybe some pighead nitwit would think about killing another for the sake of not knowing anything, but probably not most people.

Q. Is your God worth killing for?

A. Well, gee, I'm not even sure if my God exists!

Q. Well, then isn't your God worth at least dying for?

A. Uh, what would be the point? I mean, I'm not sure if... didn't I already explain this?

Q. Would you like some Kool-Aid?

A. Err... Sorry Mr. Jones, I think maybe I'll pass this time...

Since you don't believe in God, then there is no way to provide proof. I am a devoted Christian and I have ready many of the "proofs" that God exists, though I know that God exists, I still find these "proofs" to be inadequate to convince someone who doesn't believe. The question, therefore, is redundant.
For us, the proof is in the miraculous change that takes place in our lives. Changes that we didn't initiate.
