If God(s) are objects of faith, then by definition it cannot be proven, as faith denotes belief without physical reason. The same is equally applied with logic, simply having faith in an event doesn't mean it'll happen; i.e. having faith you can fly by jumping off a building doesn't give you the capacity.

Those two things are a given. No amount of quotations from the bible or ad hominem logic will change an Atheists understanding just as no scientific proof will change a Christian's belief system. My question is why do Christians even bother trying to prove God to the Atheists, as proof is impossible?

I'm an atheist, and i really don't care. If someone is trying to push a religion on me i just go talk to someone else.

Because we love and really don't want you to end up in the Lake of Fire. What kind of people would we be if we saw you walking along and there was a big hole in front of you and we didn't tell you or try to help keep you from falling?

Impossible....I believe in a God of the impossible. Beyond human understanding.. I've had 4 knee surgeries. I was in all the time, constant, every day pain. And God took it away. I have NO pain. It's not logical for it just to be gone but it is and God is the only explanation I have.

Your definition of faith is wrong to the depths of your dishonored soul. Ever heard of the phrase 'have faith in yourself'? This means you should believe in yourself, though not always without reason to do so! An illustration: You are highly qualified. The job interview will be a cinch. Have faith in yourself.

As for the argument that there is no proof of God, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Just because you don't have evidence of something doesn't mean it isn't there. Case in point: You wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at me what special skills I have. But that doesn't mean I can't play the keyboard and electric bass.

One proof of God is the demise of Darwinism, with evolution unable to account for the myriad complex organisms today, and in particular the extremely complex chemical structure of DNA.

the concern is the credibility of the bible. Christianity will remember on the bible being a rather precise rfile. some Christians declare that that's a a hundred% precise rfile. yet as technological know-how retains looking issues interior the bible that are only hassle-free incorrect, or that the bible has replaced by the years, then the credibility of the completed element fades. some Christians overlook approximately technological know-how. declare evolution and cosmology fake. simply by fact their faith will shatter in the event that they admit a single errors interior the textual content of their God. Others are extra versatile, surprisingly as there is little archaeological information around Jesus. yet what is going to they do while archaeologists finally 'fess up that Nazareth did not exist in 1st century Judea, and different significant flaws exist interior the information related to the Christian faith? As technological know-how has stronger there has been much less and much less information for God. God have been given the credit for plenty of issues practically all of which technological know-how has shown to have organic reasons. God has been pushed lower back from a being that touches us daily, in making rain, storms, lightning and such, to a pair cosmological pool participant who set the enormous bang in action in order that, to furnish the universe we see in the present day. DNA is way less complicated than the coast of Norway. by the years hassle-free regulations aspects upward thrust to quite complicated issues. If Earth grew to become into the only planet interior the universe then issues like this could be marvelous. even nevertheless it is not. each indication is that the Earth is only considered one of billions of billions of existence-suited planets. Why is it staggering that existence happens on a planet the place existence can take place? you have self assurance in God. after which you spot issues interior the worldwide and use those to justify your concept, at the same time as ignoring different information that discredit your concept. Your 'monks' of technological know-how do not positioned know-how above God. They evaluate all know-how and see that a number of that's incompatable with God. in case you will settle for many of technological know-how then you might desire to settle for all of it. Even the factors that element out the falsehoods on your ideals. Or do you rather think of that your concept is sufficient to alter the information of the universe?

As you say a belief system can not be proven.

However, people change, grow and learn.

Its always worth talking about what you believe. You learn stuff, and grow as a person. Others ask questions that force you to open your eyes. Its been true for me.

I am pursuaded of God's existence and love talking with others about what they think - but respectfully, honestly and being willing to admit I don't have it all sewn up.

Making it all about what you currently know and consider proved is to risk closing your mind. I suggest being open to the possibility, asking more questions and seeing what happens.

Basically it's because they don't understand what proof means. They by and large have no understanding of logic or reason. The entire world to them boils down to what they "feel" is correct. A nice comfy dream world to live in but it has no relationship to reality.

The only proof is what you can find yourself...through experience.

So I don't try to prove God to anyone - they weren't there, so they don't know what happened.

Assert God exists and can be found - if you look.

The Bible says that those who refuse to believe know deep down that Jesus and the Bible are true, but those people stuff the truth in exchange for a lie. They are liars.

Because every delusion is better enjoyed when others share the delusion with you.It's like being on drugs.You feel good on drugs and don't want that feeling to end.But you don't want to be on drugs alone and so you try to convince people about how great it is to be on drugs so that they will join in with you.

You are right there is no proof. Not all atheists remain atheists for life. There are many who end up one day believing in God. Just because one won't listen doesn't mean the Christian should not keep trying to convert others.
