Today in this materialistic world, people think that everything should have proof. Religion dont have proof and so ignore it. Live as you like and perish when the time comes. This way of thinking itself is against science. Becos today the whole science is based on certain unseen faiths & beliefs. Example, in Maths we assume "Limit tends to infinity" and solve many complex problems. What is this Infinity? No man knows it. SImilarly in Physics we assume a smallest wave particle called "Photon" which dont have any proof for existence physically, then proceed with atomic physics. Without such assumption & faith, physics is meaningless. So faith is not against science, it is a part & basis of science. Likewise we have billions of wonders around us and in our own body to proclaim the existence of God. Belief in such an Entity will only make our actions better, give peace to our mind in spite of so much anxious moments of our life. We cant say that we can believe everything only when we touch, feel, see, hear etc. Using our 6th sense we can see something but infer something else from that. For example when we see a smoke at a distance we know that there is a fire. Based on the intensity we take necessary action. We use our 6th sense to tell that there is fire. Likewise when we see our Universe, all the natural creatures on earth we can conclude that there is a super intelligence behind this. Darwin’s theory has been only a theory and it has been proved wrong long back. Till now scientists have explained only 10% of our brain. Remaining is still dormant. Try to explore that 90% and look around you. You will know that there is God who cant be defined or perceived by Human mind. He is above everything which Human knows as existing.

That's not something that you should ask us. We all have reasons for both believing or not believing in a god. It's not a black or white question either. There are many different spiritual beliefs that exist out there. I think the best way for you to find out this answer is to study all the religions you can and just look at the world around you: the beautiful spots, and the ugly. Then just think with an open, clear mind. Take away the politics and opinions of others and just ask yourself what you truly believe. Even then, over time ideas and beliefs change depending on what happens in your life, so I don't suggest blocking yourself with definite anwsers all the time. Spirituality's a life long journey, so good luck. (I know I sound corny, but that's all I have for you)

believers can not prove god does exist.atheists can not convince theists with their big bang, evolution theories, that there is no proof for existence of god. why should we bother about the existence of god? the best thing is to lend our hand to the people in needy, strive for the betterment of the poor, marginalized sections of the society. not doing any harm to others either physically or mentally.living happily till we get death.

No. In ALL history, there has NEVER been ANY verifiable evidence that gods have EVER existed. Indeed, almost all evidence indicates just the opposite.

I think that God is a higher sense of being within ourselves. Like how we only use 10% of our brains. I think that 100% is God, all knowing.

Yes. People can use science and logic all they want but some higher power is behind all the complexity in the universe. I don't believe this can all exist simply by chance. That to me is illogical.

If you believe He does.
If you don't He does not.

Its the individual psyche, the psychological state of mind.

Its the case of "Trying to find a black cat in a dark room when either/both are not there"

I believe in God and I am a God fearing woman. Where did we come from if there is no God. Some people believe that man came from monkeys. Ha ha ha. I don't. I have testimonys that I could share with you. I was in an abusive marriage. This man lowered my selfesteem and abused me physically, emotionally and mentally, I married him before all this happened. Being a God fearing woman and knowing divorce is wrong, I stayed married to this man and remained a submissive wife as the Bible says. I prayed to God to please either help my marriage or give me an escape route. This man cheated on me one time, just one time and he ended up getting the other woman pregnant and that's how I found out. He committed adulty and that was my grounds for divorice. I grew up in foster homes, been raped, been in an abusive marriage, tried suicide, lost my children to the system, just lost a baby right before Christmas and I still believe in God. God is what kept me strong all these years going through all these trials and tribulations. I have faith that things will get better and some how God always delivers me. He never gives us more than we can handle. I know there is a God because if there was no God, I wouldn't be here now giving you my testimonies on how great God is.

How do you define 'exist'. God is not real, if that is your question.

2007-01-12 18:46:47 · answer #10 · answered by Anonymous · 0 0

No, I don't believe he does, at least any god that would be relevant to us. Here' why:

First, you have to define the term "God." The problem with most theists is that this term is a moving target.

In addition, because there is no evidence either for or against the existence of God, you cannot use deductive logic (a+b=c; therefore c-b=a). You can only reach a conclusion by inductive reasoning using the balance of evidence (90% of A is also B; C is B, so the chances are 90% that C is also A).

I will assert (and others may shoot this down) that the only RELEVANT definition of God states that he intervenes to circumvent natural laws.

If God circumvents natural laws, then it is impossible to understand natural laws. All scientific findings would have to include the stipulation, "it is also possible that these results are an act of God, a miracle, thereby making our research meaningless."

However, since we have been able to expand our knowledge of natural laws (evidenced by every appliance in your kitchen), the scientific method works in this discovery. And the likely conclusion is that God, at least the intervening kind, does not exist.

Additionally, if God is defined as all loving, all powerful, and all knowing, then it is impossible to explain suffering. Either God is not all loving (he acts sadistically), not all powerful (he cannot prevent suffering), or not all knowing (he created suffering by mistake because he didn't know the consequences of his actions).

If God is less than these and/or does not intervene in our existence, then he is either non-existent or irrelevant. The classic argument is that I cannot prove that a china teapot is orbiting the sun directly across from the earth's orbit. But while I cannot prove this is not true, the evidence against it is compelling.

The evidence against God is equally compelling, and while it is not possible to prove beyond any doubt, it makes more sense to live your life as if there were not God.

It is more compelling to me that humans have invented God to reflect the thoughts of the ruling powers in a particular time. Because humans are always looking for reasons, when none are found, it was the natural inclination to declare the cause to be "God" (or gods). As the faith grew, miracles and laws have been ascribed to this Divinity, and an orthodoxy grows up around it.

Now it seems unhelpful to believe in such superstition. The only matters that aid in our ongoing well being are work, location, health, sustenance, and pure, blind luck.

So no, I don't believe God exists. And you know what? It's okay if you do believe God exists.
