If God is omnipresent does he think everyone will believe in him without any evidence? It is too difficult for a person who thinks analytically, logically and skeptically to believe in something without any evidence. Then why does God sent non-believers to hell? If he wanted everyone to believe in him without any evidence why should he have given man power to think, logically, analyticaly and skeptically?
Science has shown no need for a God to exist. All living organisms are evidences for evolution and abiogenesis and universe is the evidence of Big bang and not a creater.

No evidence ? No logic ? Are you the logic know-it-all ? Sure.
Try reading Summa Theologica and learn how to really deduce logically. Yes, I mean really.
BTW, where did the energy for the Big Bang come out from ? Nothingness ? I am afraid that is indeed the "logical" answer most atheists give when confronted with the question.
I'm tired of being told by a half-baked "scientific" atheist what logic and science is all about.

That there is no proof. Go back to your history lessons, for example, Jesus Christ made a huge impact in the world when he went aroud preaching at Israel. He altered history as we know it today. If you managed to think clearly, you will comprehend that physical life is to complicated for a single cell to make. It has to be something powerful that created the Universe. Besides who said that evolution is real evidence. It's just a theory that does NOT have proof. I have not seen a monkey turn into human or vice versa. Believing in God is about faith, its believing about the unnatural a certainty that you have that you know it exist. Science has not shown that God does not exist, so in my opinion, you and many other people are making it harder, academically, to believe that God does exist. Another thing, Science is not at war with God.

The reason he gave you the power to think is so that you could have the power to choose.
Love is a choice and does not force itself on others. If God had not created you with the ability to choose it would not have been love but slavery.
Also there is plenty of evidence for God's existence. The major problem is most scientist wish to exclude God's involvement simply because they can;t explain God in his fullness. (Basically if they can't fully understand something it doesnt exist)
One of the major points for God is right in the laws of thermal dynamics. One of the laws of thermal Dynamics is "Choas may come from order but order never comes from chaos except with the help of an outside force"
In the "Big Bang" theory two large amsses called dark matter collide in a "choatic explosion" that jump started the begining of the universe. Now remember the laws of thermal dynamics are proven fact. Scientists own laws discredits the big bang theory with one single swoop.
Now before anyone mentions that thermal dynamics only applies to a closed system letme remind you that the universe is still expanding today. In a closed system the rate is either constant or increasing. Never decreasing. Scientists expected as time past that the expansion of the universe would slow down as expected in a open system but to there surprise the rate of expansion is not slowing but increasing in speed! That suggests a closed system nay it proves a clsoed system. Thus the universe is a closed system and therefore the laws of thermal dynamics apply to it.
Now back to that law of thermal dynamics.
The only way the big bang could actually work is with the help of an outside force. Guess who that outside force is. God? DING DING DING! Correct!
thank you for reading all this I know it was long.

To answer the header, evidently so. No trace of "irreducable complexity" exists, there are no remains of Noah's Ark, the Shroud of Turin is a long-proven pious fraud, and archaeological evidence suggests that events did not take place as the Bible says they did. Hence: no evidence.
I noticed that quite a few people tried to claim that the Big Bang was evidence of a creator, but since the answer to that question is completely unknowable at this time I have no reason to regard this claim as anything but that: A claim made on the basis of religious dogma without basis in fact.

Where did the "big bang" come from? where did the first cell come from or the first atom? There is plenty of evidence that God exists - it takes ALOT more faith to believe He doesn't exist than to believe that He does. To believe that all the intricacies and complexities of the universe, nature, the balances and counterbalances, the construction of the human being, and all the thousands of other "details" of existance is by mere coincidence, or chance that this substance combined with the exact needed other substance and combined by chance into such a way as to bring forth all that is in just the exact amounts, combinations and still be "workable" is to believe in the impossible. Believing that God designed, put into action His design doesn't require all that much faith - it really is more "logical" than the other. Evidence of human testimony and experience for thousands of years - the Word of God has proven itself over and over by all those who chose to believe it. IT WORKS plain and simple. All the detailed prophecies given thousands of years before the events and perfectly fulfilled. Evidence of the soul of man - when Truth touches the soul - the soul responds, the spirit of man may suppress, deny, rationalize, reject but in that first moment, the soul responds. Science is a infant trying to understand an Einstein (for lack of a better comparison). God exists, God created and all things came from that point. That is not hard to believe or accept - it is simple, it is straightforward and most importantly, it is TRUTH. If God did not exist then who performs miracles that have been documented including raising the dead (we have documented proof of this in our day - a person actually in the coffin on their way to the cemetary and God brought them back to life - not just Bible times but OUR day). If God does not exist then who healed my aunt of a condition that needed surgery and the Doctor's couldn't even explain it. If God does not exist how did we take home the same amount of food we had prepared after feeding over 150 people and no new food was brought in? If God does not exist who healed my friend of fibramyalgia when the Doctor told her nothing would help her but radical surgery which she refused to have and again the Doctor had no explanation for the healing? Who healed my Dad of 106 degree temperature that raged for 3 days in the hospital when the Doctors finally said gather the family its just a matter of time now there's nothing else we can do and he can't last much longer. But his fever broke the same hour that he was anointed with oil and fervent corporate family prayer was made. And he got better each day after that and came home completely well. It wasn't the oil in itself or the Doctor's or any other "human" intervention - it was GOD. Don't tell me God doesn't exist - I know Him intimately, personally and evidence is everywhere if you choose to see it.

You are asking about Him as if He is. You must be on the fence about Christianity. You have to trust Him and have faith. Do you trust anyone? Why or why not? There's got to be a reason, right? Do you trust your mother? Well, if you trust her or believe her then you may as well do the same w/ God. Proof? Have you ever had a feeling that someone had cheated on you, or lied to you? Your best friend could tell you that someone cheated on you but the only proof is with your own eyes. You have to have faith in the person you love or the friend. You will believe one of them. Why not believe that there is a God? I have a hard time believing I am related to a cricket, etc. If everything evolved then we are related to amebas, insects, water, the sun, the moon, the earth, dog-poop, etc.

G-d doesn't send non-believers to hell. That is an invention of Xtianity. In the early years they weren't getting enough converts so they had to start scaring people into it. In Judaism (Xtianitys "parent" religion) there is no hell. If you don't believe in G-d but are a good person you will still go to Paradise.

No Evidence huh? Wow, that's pretty funny you said that because there is plenty of evidence!
Shall we begin Creation 101!
Hmmm, evolution, Theory, Truth, or Garbage?
Let's tackle this question first. You know those pretty little watches people wear on their wrist. Well what if I told you that watch just happend to form all by itself, all the little pieces, screws, metal links, glass lens all formed over millions of years and just so happened to all come together and over a few more million years just started to tick all by chance. Do you believe that to be possible. Can you logically explain that. Can science explain that, can mathmatics prove that to be possible. The answer, NO! The probablity of that ever happening is more then 10 to the power of 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000etc. Get my drift. You know that watch was designed and created by someone. It is beyond reality to believe that the watch just happend to evolve into perfection.
So with that said lets say we have four objects: One is a 747 plane, the other is 100ft sky scrapper, the next is a ford f150, and lastly we have a worm. Now if you have any knowledge you would be able to tell me out of those four objects which one is the most complex? Every scientist in the world will tell you the worm is the most complex. Why, because it contains things such as an immune system, a digestive tract, senses, etc. Now if a skyscrapper, the 747, and the f150 all needed a designer or creator for it to exist how can you tell me that the worm didn't when it is by far more complex. How can you tell me "logically that it evolved from nothing, by chance, by accident." Come on now! How smart do you have to be to figure that out. If you want to through science down my throwt go right ahead buddy because all science is doing is proving just how complicated and structured this universe really is. You know what that means. That means scientist are finally realizing that there was an Intelligent designer, A GOD!!!!! It takes a fool to think otherwise, or someone with alterior motives to object the existence of a God.
Second Point!
Okay so you say there "might" be a God. If that's true how do I know what to believe when there is thousands of religions out there, how can I possibly find the right one? EASY! First you start by looking at a few of the Most poplular religions. Lets see there is Hinduism, Buddism, Judiaism, Islam, and Christianity. Okay so we've got the top dogs, which one has the most hype. Hmm I've heard of a Book called the Bible. Lets see what the Bible has to offer since it has been the most popular book throughout history and has sold over 5 billion copies with no other book coming even to a close second. Well that doesnt mean it's true but since its so popular maybe its worth checking out. You open the Bible and start reading it. Wait a minute, this book claims to be written by God himself. Over 3000 times it says "thus say'th the Lord," no other religious book in the world says that. Hmmm, well that still doesnt make it true. Well lets keep reading. Wow this Book contains a lot of historical facts, I mean a lot. Let's check and see if they are true. Wow, historians tell us that the bible's historical facts are pretty right on. Thats kind of trippy, over 25,000 archeological findings prove the accuracy of the Bible pertaining to civilizations, people, titles, cities, events, etc. That's pretty interresting, but still not enough for me to believe. Okay so you keep reading, what's this you come across, OHH, its prophecy. That means perdicting future events. Omg, approx. 25% of the Bible is prophecy. Lets see, if some of this prophecy was fullfilled.
Psalms 41:9 Prophecy
Even my close friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me."
Matthew 10:4 Fullfillment
...Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him.
Judas the man who broke bread with Jesus before his crucifixion and betrayed him that very night. Psalms was written hundreds of years before Jesus was born. There are ohhh soo many more that are even better. Read a book that is titled "Evidence that Demands a Verdict," you will be forced to answer a few "logical questions."
Can you tell me why no other religious book contains prophecy or has any that have been fullfilled. None! You know why? Because all that has to happen is for one to be wrong and that book now belongs in the trash-can because it couldn't be written by God.
If you want to illogically believe in evolution go right ahead but dont think you can get off scott free. We will all face or maker!
Romans 1:20
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are cleary seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.
You are testing your eternal destination on a theory that has no evidence to back it up against a God who proves himself to be true if only you come to your senses and seek HIm.
You can tell me you can believe whatever you want and I can believe what I want but guess what dude. When you die, there is eternal truth. Just because you believe something doesnt make it true. If you die an athiest and find out there is a God, that means what you believed was 100% wrong, and in order for you to have a wrong answer there has to be a Right answer. I gave you a touch of the evidence that God has provided. There is much more if only you put aside your ignorance and look at the facts. Take the time to do the research.
I pray that you make the right decision!
God Bless

No he created the Democrats for that (just kidding). I can not convince you just as you can't convince me of your way of thinking yet I can tell about the time I fell on one knee and broke it, I had no phone no one to help me, I could not drive to the hospital and lumps of broken cartilage and bone where bulging from my leg. But God was there to heal, it took about 3 hours and some would ask why 3 hours other would ask why he allowed it to happen in the first place and miss the miracle... think about it and I hope it doesn't take a problem in your life for you to believe.

It is good to believe that there is a God above you, it feels good to know that you have been created. Not dropped on a platter.
if you have chosen not to believe thats your choice and you know where you are headed.
He gave man to think logically, analtically and skeptically so that man can use this logical, analtical & skeptical strengths to get to know God better, not to get further from him.
Science, is just a study by some idoits, thanks to them we had to study and mug all the rubbish which we do not use later on in life. Science was made by some jobless guy who had nothing better to do & then we have people like u who follow them. Funny.
