concerning God.....?

Question

can someone please help with " how does nature/pyhsical evidence prove that there is a God"?

Answer 1

nature itself, and the little intricate things that we take for granted prove there is a God.

Answer 2

The existence of God is something that can't be proven or disproven; however, many people's faith is enhanced by the complexity in nature. So far physicists have no explaination for what initiated the Big Bang. There are many parameters in the universe that, if off by tiny incriments, would not allow for life on Earth. And life is so complex-- from the processes occuring in one cell to the interactions between organisms their environment in ecosystems-- that it's pretty amazing that it all works. However, all this can just be evidence that nature is pretty fascinating also! It depends on which one you WANT to believe.

Answer 3

Abiogenesis is the spontaneous generation of life from non-living sources. If we found an empty coke bottle on another planet, we would insist that someone must have been there already, because the coke bottle obviously didn’t make itself. Yet the simplest form of life (currently known to be Prokaryote’s) is vastly more complicated than an empty coke bottle, and were expected to believe that they've made themselves.

Adaptation occurs around us, is something that can easily be seen in nature, and is often used to back up the theory of evolution. A prime example of this can be seen when we breed dogs. Here we mimic the process of adaptation, and accelerate it far beyond the natural process. We see a variety of changes that would have occurred over years of adaptation, and a wide variety of dogs. Big, small, placid, aggressive, every kind you can imagine, but the fact remains that they all stay very much as dogs, and never deviate from the species.

When you're faced with the variety of life that we have on this planet, and expected to believe that it just happened by chance I don't by it. The usual answer from someone that believes in evolution would be that they've proved it and it happens over billions of years. They haven't proved it, and billions of years is a long time to us and our short life spans, but not with regards to what would have to happen for life to go from bacteria, to everything else. The planets only 4.6 billion years old.

Occam's razor is that "All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the best one". The simplest answer here would be that an entity who is much more intelligent than us, more powerful than us, without the physical restraints we do, made us and everything else. Most people would agree that in the future we would be able to create life, so why not another being.

Answer 4

Hmmm. This has been tried over and over again and there doesn't appear to be any solid evidence to stand on.

One of the most noted theological philosophers, Saint Thomas Aquinas, attempted to find proof of a prime mover, in accordance to a theoretical discussion which could lead to a logical conclusion. His searched was for evidence that could lend truth to the idea of God as the creator of the universe while keeping his argument solidly grounded in reality. He failed in his attempt and finally opted for a 'cop-out' conclusion that the only way to prove his theory was to abandon his own logic and call upon his faith alone... stating that since he had faith in his belief his belief must therefore be true.

He admitted, and even pointed out, the flaws of his argumental discussion; of the lack of logically traceable thinking that he stood by and claimed that he had a plausible conclusion just the same.

He was unable to bring anything of the natural world into his argument to support his hypothesis and so he 'leapt' to the spiritual world for his proof. His 'leap of logic' philosophy is celebrated as a brilliant conclusion by some while being sourly scorned by others.

So I guess that my answer to your question has to be somewhat like Aquinas's... you can't look for proof of God in the real world - there just isn't any. I should probably also tell you that I can't buy Aquinas's proof by faith alone, his 'illogical leap"... That which is illogical just doesn't sit well in my stomach. My own philosophy is very solidly Atheistic.

Answer 5

How can something be created out of nothing into something so intricate and unique if there is no divine power?

How can each and every person have a different DNA and be so different from the person next to them without an amazing creator?

How can everything on Earth be so planned and complete in its formation without something larger taking control?

How do animals look after their young instinctively?

Ants know when it's going to rain?

Squirrels know to collect nuts for the winter?

There has to be I God. At least, I know there is one.

How can you prove there isn't one?

Answer 6

It proves nothing. The fact that the Earth exists and we live on it is no proof of a supernatural presence. To prove something you have to be able to show physical evidence. There is no physical evidence for the existance of any supernatural being. Period.

Answer 7

Other than creation itself, as in everything all around you, you can't prove God. Deliberately, there is no physical, hard evidence proof of God, other than creation, like I said, and everything around you. This is done so that you can develop a thing called faith, by feeling God in your heart and believing that there is a God. I heard a saying once that said that I would rather live my life as though there is a God then to die and find out that there isn't one. I really like that saying.

Answer 8

God is a hard topic to confirm. I have always believed that if you really want to prove something exists, you will find all sorts of evidence. Likewise if you would like to dis prove something. You can look in all sorts of places. Even the bible. There is a scripture in the new testamant (corinthians I think) that says that all scripture is given to interpretation. I think that if you want to find God, or at least prove he exists, than you should look inside yourself, with no outside influences. The answers are there. I definately believe in God. He has promised that He will answer us if we ask. If you honestly ask Him, with an intent to know truth, He will answer you.

Answer 9

It doesn't. Mere physical existence in not evidence of a maker, despite the repeated claim by Creationists. The only thing Physical existence "proves" is that there is a physical existence. There is no trace of a divine hand anywhere. So far, everything that exists has a naturalistic explanation with no guiding hand required.

Answer 10

Romans 1

Answer 11

Sometimes I look at nature and it is appears kind (beautiful flowers, the intricacy of a spider web) Other times it is nothing but ruthless (droughts, hurricanes). How anybody can use nature as proof of a god, I have no idea.
