does God exist?

Answer 1

only if you believe he does.

Answer 2

Yes. We human beings cannot prove that God does not exist neither can we prove that God exists, but we believe that God exists. I believe there is a supreme power that is controlling everything in this universe that we call God. Besides, as one said Nature is God.

Answer 3

Yes. I'll give the same answer I gave to a similar question:

I cannot believe this universe, planet, gravity, tress, babies and bugs could have all happened by chance. As if we won some kind of comic lottery. I've read that statisticians have caculated the odds of the universe occurring by chance as being so adverse they cannot BE calculated. The whole idea take too much faith for me to follow that "religion". I've also read that believing in the big bang theory is akin to taking the pieces of a pocket watch, putting them in a paper bag, shaking them for a million years and then expecting a perfectly functioning watch to have been created. Nope, no way, too much of a long shot...I don't' have that kind of faith.

I believe the God of the Bible and am a Biblical Christian.
The whole book makes SENSE! It explains everything and there is nothing (!!) Jesus teaches that I can disagree with.

Answer 4

It depends on what you mean by GOD. Are you eluding to the God in the Bible? Or the GOD in any other countless religions. There have been countless stories of miracles, out of body experiences, healings, etc. to prove that there is a life after death. But does that prove that there is a singular "GOD". I don't know. But I know that I wont believe in a "GOD" through fear or intimidation.

I remember a plaque that my grandmother used to have it states:

“…I won’t worry if I get into heaven, If I do great then there is nothing to worry about.
If I go to hell I will be so busy shaking the hands of all of my friends that I won’t have anything to worry about.”

And that is very true. According to the Christian religion to go to heaven you have to believe in Jesus and be "reborn" the entire world is about 33% Christian and most of those people are not true Christians and follow the teaching flawlessly. But even so if all of them go to heaven that leaves 67% of the population that is going to heaven. And that is only the current population of 6 Billion think about everyone that is born everyday and everyone who has already died. So either way heaven or hell, you don’t have to worry...

I cant tell you how many Christians I have met and argued with over the years but I have come to the conclusion that many Christians don’t want to know the truth because they are afraid of hell. There are sooooo many flaws from beginning to end in the Bible. From Genesis on the impossibilities are astounding. I can not just take it on faith that somehow Noah got two of every animal onto a boat. Some of which would have to swim from other continents to get there. Which would probably take more than 40 days and they would probably drowned in the process. Then somehow get them not to eat each other because if a tiger ate a rabbit there would no longer be any rabbits. And when these creature where finally taken off the ship none of them got sick because that would completely kill the species, or were effected with abnormalities from having such a small population the breed with. It is just impossible. Period... Then there is Jesus who I believe was a prophet. One of countless during that time. And even if he was the messiah there is no way to know his true words for two reasons. One if you look in the bible itself there are three books about Jesus, none of which were written by him and they all contradict each other in the order of events and the words spoken in those events. And two there are countless other scrolls and scriptures not put into the bible that have much different teachings about Jesus and his beliefs. It wasn't until the council of Nicea that churches officially started saying that Jesus and GOD where the same. I again cant just take such ridiculous notions on faith. I'm sorry that I may seem bias and I know that there are many good intentioned Christians, I however have not found a single one... So what do I believe GOD is then?

What has gotten me clarity on the subject is thinking not of "GOD" but looking at the world around us. Feeling the air hit my face, thinking about the air I breathe. Looking up into space and realizing how vast the universe is and thinking about the universe that exists within every cell. How every organism is made up of atoms, and every atom is made up of even smaller particles. Did GOD create you? Did GOD create rocks. Do you have a consciousness? Do rocks have a consciousness? Can a rock get into heaven and if not then what will eventually happen to the rock? What is consciousness? These are things that can not be explained but felt. I have sat and contemplated these things for hours and I ask that you do the same. If you truly just sit and listen don’t judge then you will see the truth.

I don’t believe that "GOD" is a nice or mean being or a single entity at all, but the energy that makes up everything. No matter what you do you cant create or take away energy it just moves into a different form. So what is GOD and how does he play a role in your life. The simple answer is you are GOD and you create everything that happens in your life whether it is consciously or unconsciously... Your actions and your thoughts and feelings effect everything around you. If you are in a happy mood it seems everything is going great and everything is going your way even if its not. The opposite is true if your sad. And then in return you attract similar things to you. It is also another form of karma. When you do something bad and you feel bad about whether it is conscious or unconscious something bad will happen to you. Even in a broader sense. You chose to wake up when you did this morning, you chose to go to work, etc. If one of those decision made you late to work or even made you have an accident, they were still your choices. And subconsciously we are all making choices together and it creates a web of our reality. At least that’s what I believe.

If you think of GOD not as a being but as everything. It seems to make sense. The entity that is GOD does not have to be labeled as one thing but as everything. Think, relax and just be and you will understand. It is beyond words...

Answer 11

The following evidence comes from THE GREAT BOOKS OF THE WESTERN WORLD vol. 2 & 19. St. Thomas Aquinas said:

ARTICLE 2. Whether It Can Be Demonstrated That God Exists?
I Answer that, Demonstration can be made in two ways. One is through the cause, and... The other is through the effect... When an effect is better known to us than its cause, from the effect we proceed to the knowledge of the cause. And from every effect the existence of its proper cause can be demonstrated, so long as its effects are better known to us, because since every effect depends upon its cause, if the effect exists, the cause must pre-exist. Hence the existence of God, in so far as it is not self-evident to us, can be demonstrated from those of His effects which are known to us.

ARTICLE 3. Whether God Exists?
I answer that, The existence of God can be proved in five ways.

The first and more manifest way is the argument from motion.... [Newton’s second law of motion] whatever is moved must be moved by another. If that by which it is moved be itself moved, then this also must be moved by another, and that by another again. But this cannot go on to infinity, because then there would be no first mover, and, consequently, no other mover, seeing that subsequent movers move only because as they are moved by the first mover... Therefore it is necessary to arrive at a first mover which is moved by no other. And this everyone understands to be God.

The second way is from the notion of efficient cause.... There is no case known (nor indeed, is it possible) in which a thing is found to be the efficient cause of itself, because in that case it would be prior to itself, which is impossible.... Now to take away the cause is to take away the effect.... Therefore it is necessary to admit a first efficient cause, to which everyone gives the name of God.

The third way is taken from possibility and necessity... [or] to be or not to be. ...If everything is possible not to be, then at one time there could have been nothing in existence. Now if this were true, even now there would be nothing in existence, because that which does not exist only begins to exist by something already existing. [FACT: Matter can not be destroyed nor created; at most it changes form i.e. solid, liquid, gas. Physical Law: the first law of Thermodynamics.] Therefore, if at one time nothing was in existence, it would have been impossible for anything to have begun to exist; and thus even now nothing would be in existence -- which is clearly false. Therefore, not all beings are merely possible, but there must exist something the existence of which is necessary.... Therefore we must admit the existence of some being having of itself its own necessity, and not receiving it from another, but rather causing in others their necessity. This all men speak of as God.

The fourth way is taken from the gradation to be found in things. Among beings there are some more and some less good, true, noble, and the like. But “more” and “less” are predicated of different things [like a match in comparison to the sun]... Therefore there must also be something which is to all beings the cause of their being [a Supreme Being], goodness, and every other perfection. And this we call God.

The fifth way is taken from the governance of things. We see that things which lack knowledge, such as natural bodies, act for an end... Hence it is plain that they achieve their end not by chance, but by design. Now whatever lacks knowledge cannot move towards an end, unless it be directed by some being endowed with knowledge and intelligence, as the arrow is directed by the archer. Therefore some intelligent being exists by whom all natural things are ordered to their end; and this being we call God.
