Is there scientific evidence that God exists?

Question

I heard there is scientific evidence for the existence of not only a God, but that there is hard, concrete evidence that has been tested in a laboratory environment, using the scientific method that proves that the Christian religion is the only true religion and every major thing about it is correct.

Is this true?

Answer 1

No

Answer 2

Wow. Sounds like you know it all; why ask the question? Perhaps it's because you are wrong? God does speak to modern men, me included. And several other people I know. Granted, never on national TV. So? There is potential evidence in the math of the Universe itself. Physicist working at the macro and micro scales (Cosmology, and sub-atomic physics) are seeing something in the math that looks very much like God. Not proof yet, but, if the work continues as it has, it may happen fairly soon. The resurrected Jesus appear to something over 500 people. There is clear evidence of the efficacy of prayer: in a town south of London, a small group gathered, and decided to pray for their troubled community. They did not tell anyone what they were doing. About six months later, one of them happened to be talking to a cop, and an interesting fact came to light: for an inexplicable reason, crime had dropped by 1/2 over that time. Now, crime does go up and down, but, this was statistically far out of the normal changes. The only thing that had been different was the prayer. As you say: And so on.... There is a lot more.

Answer 3

The four fundamental forces come into play both in the vastness of the cosmos and in the infinite smallness of atomic structures. Yes, everything we see around us is involved.

Elements vital for our life (particularly carbon, oxygen, and iron) could not exist were it not for the fine-tuning of the four forces evident in the universe. We already mentioned one force, gravity. Another is the electromagnetic force. If it were significantly weaker, electrons would not be held around the nucleus of an atom. ‘Would that be serious?’ some might wonder. Yes, because atoms could not combine to form molecules. Conversely, if this force were much stronger, electrons would be trapped on the nucleus of an atom. There could be no chemical reactions between atoms—meaning no life. Even from this standpoint, it is clear that our existence and life depend on the fine-tuning of the electromagnetic force.

And consider the cosmic scale: A slight difference in the electromagnetic force would affect the sun and thus alter the light reaching the earth, making photosynthesis in plants difficult or impossible. It could also rob water of its unique properties, which are vital for life. So again, the precise tuning of the electromagnetic force determines whether we live or not.

Equally vital is the intensity of the electromagnetic force in relation to the other three. For example, some physicists figure this force to be 10,000,- 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1040) times that of gravity. It might seem a small change to that number to add one more zero (10 to the power of 41). Yet that would mean that gravity is proportionally weaker, and Dr. Reinhard Breuer comments on the resulting situation: “With lower gravity the stars would be smaller, and the pressure of gravity in their interiors would not drive the temperature high enough for nuclear fusion reactions to get under way: the sun would be unable to shine.” You can imagine what that would mean for us!

What if gravity were stronger proportionately, so that the number had only 39 zeros (10 to the power of 39)? “With just this tiny adjustment,” continues Breuer, “a star like the sun would find its life expectancy sharply reduced.” And other scientists consider the fine-tuning to be even more precise.

Indeed, two remarkable qualities of our sun and other stars are long-term efficiency and stability. Consider a simple illustration. We know that to run efficiently, an automobile engine needs a critical ratio between fuel and air; engineers design complex mechanical and computer systems to optimize performance. If that is so with a mere engine, what of the efficiently “burning” stars such as our sun? The key forces involved are precisely tuned, optimized for life. Did that precision just happen? The ancient man Job was asked: “Did you proclaim the rules that govern the heavens, or determine the laws of nature on earth?” (Job 38:33, The New English Bible) No human did. So from where does the precision come?

Answer 4

Here's my scientific method that God exists:

The Earth. The Earth has an unsually large and close moon (in ratio) that maintains the Earth's direction of motion for a long time, plus it also serves as a protection from the asteroids and meteors, the scars on it are the evidence.

Besides the moon, Mars and Jupiter had also protected us from these celestial bodies. Just a few years back there was this asteroid heading towards us but Jupiter took the blow for us.

Some scientist believed that Jupiter wasn't in the original solar system, it was a renegade planet that got caught in our gravitational field.

So we have 3 protecters againts meteors, what are the odds?

Not only that, we're on a place not too hot and not too cold to support life, and yet we exist.

Also did you know that this universe has been around for 15 billion years, and for every star that died, the black hole is still around? Yet, we never seem to be close to any black hole.

So all evidence points to that....we're suppose to be dead. But somehow we're not dead yet, we were alive yesterday, we were alive last year, we were alive 10 years ago, we were alive 10,000 years ago.

So, this is my evidence.

Answer 5

Adia Arek,

You lost all credibility when you claimed the moon protects the earth from meteors and comments.

There are two reasons the moon is pockmarked to a much greater extent than the earth.

1. No atmosphere to burn up material
2. No geological activity to refresh the surface.

If anything the moon's gravity helps to pull objects toward us.

Answer 6

No.

This argument is from Creationism, which is a belief.

Think about it: God existed before He created everything that man can observe. This means that God is in the observable and the unobservable. This means you can observe the unobservable.

Answer 7

no ido not think that there is any scientific evidence but God (Allah) does exist and in order to prove that there is no scientific evidence are when miricles happen such as in the hospitals a person is gonna die and all the doctors say so but that person lives who do you think saved that person? that is my evidence

Answer 8

What does a barber do? He cuts hair right? But if you see a man with long hair walking around, does that mean that the barber does not exist? Absolutely not. It just means that he probably didn't go to the barber. Its the same with God. To find proof of His existence, we need to go to Him.

Answer 9

Scientific proof? Unlikely.

Faith? That is a fact.

Answer 10

None. No tangiable evidence to support that God exists or doesn't exist. That's why it's called faith.

Answer 11

No evidence. More evidence of Santa.
