Why do people feel there is no evidence for God's existence?

Answer 1

Because if G-d exists; then maybe Scripture is real.
If Scripture is real; then maybe It is right.
If It is right; then I'm doomed.

Answer 2

You have to ask yourself this question - If you observed all of the evidence the world has to offer without having previously been exposed to the concept of god, without even knowing what the word meant, would god have occurred to you as a reasonable explanation for what you observed?

I think that when people look at the evidence presented to them in isolation, they realize that there is nothing in the evidence itself that suggests "god" in any way. The only reason that such evidence would be used to support the existence of a god is if someone first made up their mind that god does in fact exist and then went looking for evidence to justify that conclusion, rather than looking at the evidence first and then drawing conclusions.

Though I could answer the question more directly if you were more specific about what evidence you are referring to.

Answer 3

You generalize people- I'll give you a personal response: I do not believe in your god or anyone else's god. No reason too, the universe is too vast and complex for the explanations given by some old men writing ancient texts. It just amazes me that intelligent people still beleive these ancient texts. Probably why the other intelligent races in the galaxy don't bother with us, we are still barely out of the cave man era. I see the bizarre rituals that some religions like catholics do; or the teachings that others like baptists have regarding sin, and wonder how these people in different christian religions honestly believe they are worshiping the same god concept. No way. Toss in the jews and moslems, their gods are totally different, different teachings, so it is obvious from an outside view that everyone is confused. Maybe one day we will evolve further, and the rest of the human race still trapped in the concepts of mythology will be released from their shackles. I always wondered--what would happen--if we did have an alien visit! That would send the preachers and priests and rabbis and clerics into a tizzy!

Answer 4

What people feel has little to do with reality, the fact is there is no evidence for God's existence, not any God.

Answer 5

For one, even if there was proof (like if a sheep appeared in the middle of my room), there are so many religions and beliefs and books out there, that how could anyone figure out which God created that sheep? And the appearance of the sheep does not necessarily mean that evolution hasn't been working away for 2 billion years also.

For example, I think miracles are proof of God. Off the top of my head, there were statues of Mary crying blood, but also statues of Ganesh drinking milk. Which one is proof of God? Which God is it? And then, even within religions, there are discrepancies. It's all too confusing, and many people think this alone is proof of God's non-existence.

Answer 6

I think there is evidence for God's existence, I just don't think there is evidence to prove revealed religion. Have you ever thought that there is a God, but that he has never revealed himself? If he did reveal himself, which revealed religion is right? How do you know? Do you have proof that one is correct over the others? Are they all correct? Or are they all wrong?

Answer 7

Because all of the evidence I've seen can be better explained through the laws of physics.

Answer 8

No direct measurements of God have been taken in the last 1,970 years -- so, even if we stipulate that God existed at one time, there's nothing to say that He's still around.

Answer 9

Provide some objective supported evidence and maybe I would feel otherwise,

Answer 10

Because there isn't any evidence of God.

Answer 11

That's easy: Because religion tells us that we need to "just have faith" when it comes to God. There would be no need to "have faith" if there was evidence.
