I am neither Christian nor atheist. THANK YOU for making this very important distinction. So many atheists here seem to think that the Christian God is the only one, and if you disprove the Bible, you disprove the existence of ANY God. Which is completely false!

Like maximum questions approximately this board, this would't be only replied with a undeniable and a no. God has shown to exist, by way of ability of the data given for Christianity because of the fact the only actual faith. Why and how, you would be able to ask. For God to exist, we if truth be told could teach Christianity. as a manner to try this, 3 issues could be shown as absolute certainty. a million. Jesus is the track of God 2. The Bible is absolute certainty and 3. Jesus rose from the ineffective devoid of those 3 shown, Christianity is a fantasy and God is ineffective or by no ability existed in the 1st place. One could evaluate nevertheless, that those have been shown and sturdy sources have given actual evidence, jointly as additionally, logical reasoning and historic findings even have justified it to be absolute. One additionally should renowned that Christianity can not be shown scientifically (and neither are you able to teach which you drank milk the day in the past immediately scientifically) yet you are able to teach it traditionally (by ability of eye wittness debts, documents, dna, blah blah) this would additionally be utilized to Christianity which proves a God exists. i don't have adequate space or the time to bypass by each and all of the three issues (TOO MANY information) yet for all people who desires to do added study and spot how Christianity is easily the and has been shown....you are able to study "THE CASE FOR CHRIST" by ability of LEE STROBEL (who became into an atheist in the past each little thing and spark off to disprove Christianity yet what he have been given became into data to help it. have exciting.

My oh my, you atheists are always so generous. You guys are always giving us this opportunity.
In your post you say "If you prove there is a creator that doesn't mean it's your god. " Does this mean that you think there is a way to prove there's a creator? Do you know this proof? Does it use the scientific method?
You've been so generous giving us this opportunity. Would you continue your generosity and give me this scientific proof of a creator also. I already believe in God, but I would love to have this proof. Come on Mr. Atheist, don't keep it to yourself!

If you're seriously seeking, then do the following:
1. First be open to believing there may be a God.
2. Say "God I'm open and willing to believing you may exist. Please reveal yourself to me in a way that I will know that I know you are real"
I can't prove to you there's a God, but He can. And I am talking about the Christian God.....

Albert Einstein once said that we either see nothing in life as a miracle or everything in life as a miracle. You would have a far greater chance of convincing me that no one invented the Coca-Cola can than you would of convincing me there is no Creator. It's absurd to believe that paint just formed itself into designs on boxes and billboards and coke cans. Even so, it is an insult to provide the idea that everything that is made has no maker. When you see a painting, you don't see the painter, touch the painter, smell, taste, or hear the painter, but the painting is proof that there is a painter. The same applies to a building. Again, you don't see, touch, smell, taste, or hear the builder, but the building is proof that there is a builder. So why then do you propose that there is no Creator when you can't see, touch, smell, taste, or hear the Creator, but you have creation to prove He exists? The same painter/builder principle applies to the creation.
Did you know that the word “science” means “knowledge?” (-ORIGIN Latin scientia, from scire 'know') Even the simple painter/builder example is science – pure knowledge, plain and simple. Louis Pasteur, a noted scientist (the one that came up with the modern day practice of pasteurizing milk and also discovered viruses) once said, “A little science estranges men from God, but much science leads them back to Him.” Sir Isaac Newton is quoted as saying, “This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.”
Ray Comfort, a renown theist said in his book entitled GOD DOESN’T BELIEVE IN ATHEISTS – Proof that the atheist doesn’t exist:
“The existence of God is what’s known as an “axiom” — a self evident truth. The fact that parallel lines never meet is what’s known as an axiom. If I were to devote my life to trying to either prove or disprove that parallel lines never meet, I would lack common sense. If the lines meet they are not parallel, and if they are parallel, they will never meet. This is so obvious that it doesn’t need to be proved or disproved. It is self-evident – an axiom.
The existence of God is an axiom. It is obvious that if there is a creation, there must be a Creator. For things to be “made,” logic, reason, intellect, and rationalism demand that there is a Maker. This should need to be neither proved nor disproved.”
Ray Comfort also shows in his book that many atheists claim they don’t believe in God because they can’t see God. But holes are torn all through that parachute and it’s going down fast; there are many things people believe in that we can’t see. Ray Comfort said:
“Let’s presume you don’t believe because you can’t see God. Your philosophy is that ‘seeing is believing.’ If that is so, the next time you see water shimmering on a hot road, stop for a drink. Or the next time you watch a sunrise and see the sun move across the sky, remind yourself that your eyes are lying to you. The sun does not rise, move, or set. It remains stationary while the earth turns. The next time you gaze at a blue sky, tell your eyes that they are not seeing correctly. The sky has no color – ask any astronaut. It’s an illusion. Sleight-of-hand magicians make their living on the fact that seeing isn’t believing.”
The Bible says in Psalms 14:1,“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.”
Like the old proverb says, “There is no fool like an old fool.” You have had many years on earth surrounded by God’s creation, and have remained a fool according to the Bible. Napoleon Bonaparte said that “Man will believe anything, as long as it’s not in the Bible.” You as well as many other atheists do very well in proving this as fact. For lack of a God, you use evolution to explain the world.
Another example given is again from Ray Comfort. He said, “Try to think of any explosion that has produced order. Does a terrorist bomb create harmony? Big bangs cause chaos. How could a big bang produce a rose, apple trees, fish, sunsets, the seasons, humming birds, polar bears — thousands of birds and animals, each with its own eyes, nose, and mouth?
Here’s an interesting experiment: Empty your garbage of every piece of metal, wood, paint, rubber, and plastic. Make sure nothing is there. Nothing. Then wait for ten years and see if a Mercedes evolves. Try it. If it doesn’t appear, leave it for 20 years. If that doesn’t work, try it for 100 years. Then try leaving it for 10,000 years.
Here’s what will produce the necessary blind faith to make the evolutionary process believable: leave it for 250 million years.
Professor Louis Bounoure, Director of Research, National Center of Scientific Research, so rightly stated: ‘Evolution is a fairy tale for grown-ups. This theory has helped nothing in the progress of science. It is useless.’” It is God-less and hopeless.
God provided enough evidence in Creation to prove His existence. He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ, to look past your sin and pay for it on the cross. The Bible says He was beaten beyond recognition; you could not even tell he was a human being. All for you. Romans 5:8 tells us, “But God commendeth (showed) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Despite the fact that you openly reject God, He loves you.
If you have read this whole thing and still reject Christ, your blood will be on your own head, not on my hands on Judgment Day. The Bible says in Hebrews 9:27, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” You can no more refute the coming judgment than you can lay on a train track in front of an oncoming train and refute the fact that it is going to run over you. Whether you believe it or not, fact is fact. What if you are right and I’m wrong; there is no God. When you die, you die, end of story. What have I lost? A few good parties, and that’s about all. But, what if I’m right and YOU’RE wrong??? You would spend eternity in a literal, burning hell. Not a state of sleep or purgatory, but a HELL of fire and brimstone. The choice is now yours... Heaven or Hell? Which one for you... http://www.lbc1.net/salvation.htm

If you have a good relationship with your earthly father by being faithful and obedient to him, will he not provide for you the things you need that are good for you if you ask it of Him?...........So it is with my Father in heaven. When I pray to Him for the things that I need, If it is within His will, He will answer my prayer. By that alone, I know my Father in heaven does exist and loves me very much. He wants to provide for me just like any earthly father would for his children.

(Other gods cannot speak and are deaf and not alive. But, the true and living God is from everlasting to everlasting - (Deuteronomy 10:17). You can call on the other gods, but they will not answer you.) I am proof. He saved me from the penalty of death and gave me eternal life. I was going to receive the death penalty because of my sins, but He took my place on the cross, He forgave me, healed me, delivered me, set me free, etc. I called on Christ Jesus and He answered. He is living. He was resurrected from the dead and He lives in me and my brothers and sisters in the body of Christ. He is my leader, my Father, the Holy Spirit that comforts, teaches and helps me. He has done an innumerable amount of things in my life that no one else could have done. It's not coincidence. You being on Yahoo answers reading these Words are not coincidence. He is calling you. I love you. Follow Him in faith.......

I usually get Bible, universe, faith. None of which are real answers. But good luck on getting some solid proof, I'd love to see it. On the flip side I have found lots of proof for evolution.
