Does God exist??

Question

Can two people give different answers too the same question but both be 100% correct. Or is what YOU really believe true?

Read the question then read the question stupid! This question has only ever been asked once!!

I will expand the question for you clever clogs. Does what you believe "& I chose the word "God" because it evokes high emotion in people" overrule your brains logic thus giving you a alter realism thus you believe what you think is correct thus convincing yourself that what you think is true not what is reality.

Answer 1

Both cannot be correct unless ones factual existence can be negated by someones refusal to believe it.

Aside from your typing this question, we've never met. Right?
Having never met, before your posting, If I did not believe you exist, would you vanish? No.

You're there and very real - I'm just not aware of it.

Answer 2

Well the question does God exist HAS been asked so many times, however it's an interesting second part which I haven't seen asked before, it's hard to answer without knowing what the answers were to the question, many questions can be asked it lots of ways and mean the same, just as the answers do, does God exist yes i do believe he does, there are lots of things to back it up, and NO proof that he doesn't, even the argument that people always come with, Science, can't prove it.

Love & Peace

Answer 3

"Nobody knows 100% if he does or does not. Its a 50/50 gamble"

I love comments like this that assume the chance of the existence of god is the same as tossing a coin and getting a head...

Anyway, back to the question. The answer is of course not. And I'd like to explain this by expanding on your question. I don't think your two people are an atheist and a theist. I think you are talking about two people of any persuasion. For example a Catholic and a Protestant. Their religious views are different enough to mean that if one is right the other is wrong. But even two members of the same faith will have slightly different interpretations of their religion. For example, thou shall not kill/murder as written in the bible (an example I've chosen as I asked a question on it recently). Some say this covers war, abortion, euthanasia, the death penalty and anything else you can think of. Others think it covers just murder. Of those who think it's just murder, some think murder includes self-defence. Others don't. Basically what I'm saying is that for any one person to be 100% correct in their view of god, pretty much everyone else would have to be (at least a little bit) wrong.

Of course, this raises a second question - if you're understanding of religion isn't 100% correct, but only 99.9%, is that good enough? I think most religious people would say yes. Although they'd all draw the line at different points! ;)

Answer 4

Dude, there are absolutes to everything! Two people with opposite viewpoints cannot both be 100% correct, except in their minds. But being correct in ones mind and actually being correct are two very different things, as different as the two people...just as two items of matter cannot be using the exact same space at the same time, so also cannot two different viewpoints both be 100% correct. I do believe, wholeheartedly, that God exist and is actively working today...

Answer 5

No logic is not overruled by my beliefs. God does exist. Here are some reasons why I believe that:

1. On earth oxygen comprises 21% of the atmosphere. If oxygen were 25% fires would erupt spontaneously; if it were 15 percent human beings would suffocate.

2. If the atmosphere were less transparent, not enough solar radiation would reach the eath's surface. If it were more transparent we would be bombarded with far too much solar radiation down here.

3. If the moon-earth gravitational interaction were greater than it currently is, tidal effects on the oceans, atmosphere, and rotational period woudl be too severe. If it were less, orbital changes would cause climatic instabilities. In either event life on earth would be impossible.

4. If the Cabon Dioxide Level were higher than it is now, a runaway greenhouse effect would develop (we'd all burn up). If that level were lower than it is now, plants would not be able to maintain efficient photosynthesis (we'd all suffocate)

5. The gravitational pull coudln't be any different for life to exist here on earth. If the gravitational force were altered by 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000001 percent our sun would not exist, and therefore, neither would we.

There are 122 of these points. The extent of the universe's fine tuning is good evidence for God. God had to make all these things happen. This amount of precision cannot have happened without Him.

Answer 6

Can people answer differently and both be 100% correct?

Of course not!

Consider all the other gods and spirits and monsters and legends - they often contradict each other over myths of how the universe began and they cant all be true - the obvious explanation is that they are all equally untrue.

God does not exist.

Answer 7

i believe in "god", in large part because of stephen hawking. if hawking, the worlds greatest scientist, can believe, then so can i. read "a brief history of time", he goes into great detail about the evidence he's found through relative theory. i don't believe the bible, or the other religious text, but i do believe in a supreme plan of some sort, because it's more fun than believing in nothing. the operative word here is "believe" rather than "know". i don't know 99% of the things that earth has to offer, much less our universe and beyond. so i can completely understand if some one doesn't believe in "god".

Answer 8

I you believe that God is the sum total of everything that is good in the universe then the answer is yes. If you believe that God is an omnipotent super dad who will sort out all your problems and fly you to Heaven if you've been a good boy then the answer is no.

Answer 9

Personally I think no, to your first question.

Two people can not both be right about a black and white issue, like religion. Some issues are grey, so people can be partially correct, and have opposing views. However, truth is a religious - and therefore subjective quality, Fact is a scientific quality.

Answer 10

You are asking for an objective answer to a subjective belief, which no-one (if they're honest) can actually give you.

We are by nature subjective beings, so all we can believe in is what our life experience and powers of reason tell us is objective reality.

Unless one has the power of omniscience one cannot answer your question definitively, only give you a subjective opinion.
