How do we know God exists?

Question

If God exists wouldn't he have stopped evil from entering the world?

Answer 1

God does exist, just look round you

Answer 2

If evil didn't exist there would be no contest with righteousness so i guess God sees it as a test for the righteous and as to whether God exists we don't really know without evidence but those who care must believe he does exist!! the question has been asked since year *

Answer 3

I'm not quite sure.

But I do believe everything in life is a test, we can't always blame God on the pain we go through. If all we humans truly wanted to stop the evil in this world we could. For all the evil in this world is caused no other by us. Wars, murder, crime. And having done enough pain to our kind we now enflict it on animal and the earth.

Err okay. Sorry if I was wrong or it wasn't the answer you were looking for.

Answer 4

Since you made your question sound real with intent on getting an answer even if you don't except it I will try to explain.
Arthur Conan Doyle for his character Sherlock Holmes wrote and I quote loosely.. "You solve a mystery by removing posiblities. What ever is left no matter how improbable is the truth.."
That leads me to chirality. 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. 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. 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? Chirality is not just a major problem for evolution; it is a dilemma. 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? 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.
This is evidence straight from the labs of Science. The Bible has nothing to do with these facts. Yet the magnitude of the problem indicates that there WAS a creative force behind all life and that the spontaneous life generation that most scientist hold up as fact is at best far fetched and worst impossible.....

Answer 5

where there is good there is evil ,just like opposites of everything !
It is some times cruel when we hear of all those horrible thing s ,it can really bring me down but what i try to do is think of the lovely thing s that happen in the news ,which some times is not alot ,so i try some days not to listen to the news as it upsets me so much !!
Think of the good things that happen every day ,like a baby being born ,a doctor saving some ones life in surgery ,an old person having a vistior ,some one getting married ,all these lovely things and more happen every day ,and also i am not a staint in any way ,but i do my best to be a good person and a kind generous person as i like to see people happy !!!
I know all the good in the world would`nt happen if there was no god ,then i think it could be bad all the time ,thats what makes having good people in the world as they beleive in god ,if there was no god then who knows ,people would`nt know right from wrong ,good or evil and the world would`nt be as we know it ,it would be alot worse !!
Simple ideas ,i know but every thing is that simple when you think about it !!!

Answer 6

We know GOD exist by looking around, the world itself, da fact that we are alive, dat we can go out and come back home safe whilst people r killed everyseconds by car, diseases etc.
In the bible, it is write this world is runned by the evil, GOD only looks after dose who believe and love Him (he is a jeslous GOD). we r surrounded by darkness and our role as children of GOD is to brighten it, give light to the dark, we do this with the Lord's help (the holy spirit).
u ave 2 give all 2 GOD to be free from the darkness, trusth in God will all ur heart, mind, body and strenght. u can not be safe unless u r willing 2 come out of the darkess of the world. GOD 's love is not of the body, but of the spirit for it is the spirit that gives life as when we die the body corrodes as the spirit lives it.

Answer 7

God's existence and power are communicated through the things He has made (Romans 1: 18-20). God's love is communicated through His Son who died in our place, for our sins (Romans 5: 8). The problem of evil can be broken down into moral choices, along with their painful consequences; inherited evil, passed down from Adam; and spiritual forces, malignant and opposed to God. To try to figure out God is as likely as an ant reading your mind. But, what He has chosen to reveal to us can be very comforting if we will turn from our evil choices and trust Him to forgive and empower us for the life that we were created to have.

Answer 8

Evil deeds come from free will. "God" gave us this when he gave Adam and Eve the choice to eat the apple or not. We don't know if "God" exists, it's a belief system, not a scientific one.

Answer 9

We know god exists because you are here and I am here. Do you think we created ourselves? Evil in this world is necessary to control the population, and it must exist for their to be balance. Everyone has the option to choose good or bad. Jesus loves you have a nice day.

Answer 10

We bring evil into the world. If God was to stop evil from entering into the world he would have to stop all of his children to whom he gave free will.

You know God exists because you KNOW God exists. It's a matter of faith.

Answer 11

You have two questions.
1) God exists - Jesus' empty tomb
The miracle of life itself.
The Bible - every prophesy has come true (except two that I'm
aware of, and it looks like they will be fulfilled shortly)

2) God is capable of extinguishing all evil, and He will at the end
of days. However, He has allowed us a great gift - free will.
Every evil in this world is because of bad choices we (and
Satan) have made.
