The complexity and beauty of the universe doesn't prove that religion is not merely a myth
Incredible events and coincidences in life don't prove that religion is not merely a myth
Miracles in history don't prove that religion is not merely a myth (I haven't seen them)
Positive effects of belief don't prove that religion is not merely a myth
A possible collapse of evolution theory doesn't prove that religion is not merely a myth
Arguments including air,wind or electricity don't prove that religion is not merely a myth (they are not supernatural things, they are composed of gas molecules or electrons,they are real and tangible)

Only a supernatural evidence can be a proof.
(even that would be a start, not the conclusive proof )

Then look for a supernatural being.

That is, take your concerns to God, not us.

If you don't believe, you can tell God, "Look, I don't really believe in you, but I am searching anyway. Would you be willing to reveal yourself to me a little bit so that I may come to know you?"

It's weird, and it doesn't make sense, and all that good stuff...but I'm telling you from experience--not from theory--that if you go to God, in whom you barely or don't even believe, and ask him who he is, he may very well let you know.

At least he let me know. And that's all I can really tell you. I can't give you my theories or my understandings in order to prove it to you. I can just say, in effect, I've stood in your shoes, and I got to the point where I did what I did, however ridiculous I felt...and God ultimately handed me the keys to his kingdom.

Quite a disproportionate gift when you consider the depth of my skepticism.

And yet there it is.

God says the very creation is proof enough and I think He knows what He's saying. You can say you don't see it but I can't see how you can miss it. Any "chance" thing is a mess. We see beauty, organization, and complexity everywhere. The thinkers or old were more honest. The ancients who observed things almost all saw a power at work and called it by names like fate. They may not have known the God of the Bible but mere observation proved to them a higher power, something that controlled events.

You can look at the universe all you want and say, "Either God created it or He didn't."

You can read the Bible and say that it's an interesting book with some skewed views of historical events, and a bunch of "miracles" with logical explanations, except the ones that are only stories. (Regardless of how you view it, it is worth reading as a foundation of Western moral concepts.)

In the end, the supernatural proof you need is simple: you just need to find that feeling of faith that makes it true for you.

The idea of faith is to believe with no proof, as if god is testing our faith he puts us in a situation where we can prove he doesn't exist and he tests us. If we have no proof and we still believe then we have good faith. I however do not believe but this is the reason behind others beliefs. Atheist till death!

Yes I agree. But remember each person's proof of the supernatural is subjective. For example I feel like I have had supernatural proof to bolster my beliefs but to someone else, these proofs would perhaps be nonsense. I accept that but the supernatural events still convince me.

There is no such thing as "supernatural evidence". Nothing can operate outside of the laws of the universe. If something _appears_ to do so, it implies a lack of understanding on the observer's behalf- NOT a contravention of whichever rules the observer expects. IF God exists, His existence will be proved by science sooner or later.

think of approximately it. the total actual universe; the place did it come from? Did it create itself? Or is it extra possibly somebody Created it? If it consistently replaced into and consistently would be, why is that extra possibly than a being who consistently replaced into and consistently would be? easily, each and all of the scientific evidence says that it began from a single element (cosmic egg, huge bang). Does that no longer seem to assist a foundation? does no longer an foundation recommend an originator? rapid forward to the emergence of guy. organic selection explains lots yet in fact, guy runs contradictory to the guidelines of organic selection. organic selection is all approximately surviving long sufficient to bypass sensible tr ates directly to next generations. guy has a suggestions that replaced into an extremely costly luxury merchandise while he first recognized. somewhat of evolving slowly, he recognized suddenly with the comparable suggestions we've immediately. Makes no longer sense. Why might any creature evolve with a suggestions able to gaining understanding of and storing extra training than replaced into even available? evaluate the main extraordinary scientific or imaginative human beings interior the international immediately. How lots do they comprehend? properly, the 1st guy had a suggestions with that lots means even however there replaced into no language, arithmetic or physics. No musical contraptions now shape or engineering. yet, he has a suggestions able to it. in case you extremely think of approximately it and you reject the considered God, you could desire to a minimum of evaluate some variety of better existence variety tinkering with the genetics of earthly creatures to create guy. evaluate that and you're observing sensible layout. Whoever designed us may be our God. you could desire to be truthful. In 6000 years we nonetheless can't clarify what somewhat occurred. yet we are able to declare that there is little danger it replaced into organic selection or evolution. *

Jesus said:

28He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."
29As the crowds increased, Jesus said, "This is a wicked generation. It asks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. 30For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation.

Pinch yourself... ... If you felt the pinch, you have your proof of your spirit because, rocks and molecules do not have feelings. This has nothing to do with organized religion, this is simplicity. Mathematics and darkness cannot cause you to feel. The bowling ball of evolution is rolled by God.

The ancient Mystery Schools had a saying.
"If you want to know what is hidden. See what is before your
eyes."
Like the next time you search and search and search for keys. And then there they are, right in plain site!
But of course, that can be explained away, can't it?
