Does God Exist?

Question

Who Created God?

One question which inevitably comes up in a discussion of this nature is what is the origin of God? If God created matter/energy, and designed the systems that have propelled matter into its present arrangement, who or what accomplished that for God? Why is it any more reasonable to believe that God has always “been” than it is to say that matter has always “been”? As Carl Sagan has said, “If we say that God has always been, why not save a step and conclude that the universe has always been?”

1. Does God exist? The complexity of our planet points to a deliberate Designer who not only created our universe, but sustains it today.

Many examples showing God's design could be given, possibly with no end. But here are a few:

The Earth...its size is perfect. The Earth's size and corresponding gravity holds a thin layer of mostly nitrogen and oxygen gases, only extending about 50 miles above the Earth's surface. If Earth were smaller, an atmosphere would be impossible, like the planet Mercury. If Earth were larger, its atmosphere would contain free hydrogen, like Jupiter.3 Earth is the only known planet equipped with an atmosphere of the right mixture of gases to sustain plant, animal and human life.

existence of GodThe Earth is located the right distance from the sun. Consider the temperature swings we encounter, roughly -30 degrees to +120 degrees. If the Earth were any further away from the sun, we would all freeze. Any closer and we would burn up.

The human brain...simultaneously processes an amazing amount of information. Your brain takes in all the colors and objects you see, the temperature around you, the pressure of your feet against the floor, the sounds around you, the dryness of your mouth, even the texture of your keyboard. Your brain holds and processes all your emotions, thoughts and memories. At the same time your brain keeps track of the ongoing functions of your body like your breathing pattern, eyelid movement, hunger and movement of the muscles in your hands.

existence of GodThe human brain processes more than a million messages a second.7 Your brain weighs the importance of all this data, filtering out the relatively unimportant. This screening function is what allows you to focus and operate effectively in your world. A brain that deals with more than a million pieces of information every second, while evaluating its importance and allowing you to act on the most pertinent information... did it come about just

Answer 1

God is a concept that makes people more comfortable with being alive and with getting through life, and it’s a concept which causes people to be more moral than they would otherwise because there’s this invisible sort of threat, behind the possibility of dying and not going to heaven. You know, I think that’s all really good stuff. I personally don’t need any kind of threats to be moral, it’s always been just my nature to be kind to people and to do all those things that the bible recommends that you do, I do them purely because that’s the way I am, it’s not because I think I’m going to go to hell if I don’t do them.
You know, I’m sure if I felt a void in myself or I felt the need to search for something like that then I would, maybe, go after God as a way to fill it, or as a way to find what I was searching for, but I’m not really searching for anything, and I’m really in amazement constantly at the world as it is, and I think it’s incredible just exactly the way it is, and I think there’s lots of other worlds that are incredible in different ways. I’m just really lucky to be in this one and I look forward to being in other ones in the future and, you know, there seems to be obviously a deep intelligence that runs through everything, but I don’t think of it as being one person, or something. I just think of it as being the order of the universe you know, it’s, to me when people say God it kind of sounds like they’re talking about, you know, one person who invented everything, or something. That doesn’t make sense to me and I don’t think it ever has. No offense, like I said, I mean in all sincerity that I really think god is a great concept to help people, and I think it does a really good job.

Pablo: The "Does God Exist" question is probably, the most asked question throughout history. Science can not prove God's existence per sec, nor can it dis-prove it. The role of Science is to deal with the physical - the material not the Spiritual. Many ASSUME that Science disproves God or a Creator but in all reality, Science can not, simply because the role of Science is not to disprove the Spiritual but deal with the material - matter. When one chooses to investigate into the Science of evolution, using the Scientific means to weigh the evidence thereof, you will find plenty of gaping holes in it such as, the incidence (as Paleontologists call it), for the "Big Bang of Evolution" which occurred within the Cambrian pylia [layer] of the fossil record. Darwin promoted a theory of creation evolving by divergence (slow adaption) ; whereas, the fossil record [Cambrian pylia] demonstrates a sudden explosion of animals, and vertabrae thereof, which was not in existence in any of the fossil pylia prior to this. Although this does not prove God is in existence, it does prove the LIKELY HOOD of Devine intervention to commence creation. This is far from Darwin's divergence theory and the Evolutionary therory is being discounted, all the more by Scientists ( Center for Science and Culture: www.dissentfromdarwin.org ) for a real wake-up call !
Similarily, the element Uranium has the characteristic of having a half-life. This is where Uranium begins to decay or break down into the element Lead (Pb) after 6 thousand years. If the SURFACE of the earth is millions or billions of years old, why hasn't all the Uranium decayed into Lead (Pb) by now? Obviously; this is Science and it appears that the facts are there. Is this more evidence for a Devine Creator ? The Holy Bible in the Genesis record account is about a RE - Creation of the Earth's surface (not the entire orb itself). Now; you decide if ?God exists - Science indicates with the evidence that "something" happened to start the proverbial "ball" rolling !

A director of a research department at the Pasteur Institute relates belief in God to modesty, saying: “In the early days of molecular biology we thought that it would be relatively simple to find out why the cells of an organism differentiated themselves during their evolution; why one would become a neuron, another a cell, etc. Twenty-five years later we still do not know, and we really see no way of knowing. Almost inevitably we are drawn to reiterating Hamlet’s words: ‘There are more things in heaven and earth. . . . ’ Yes, it is more complicated, more complex than anything yet conceived. And this is where the extraordinary lesson in modesty comes in. . . . If I personally estimate that something that we may call God is at the origin of reality, it is because I consider that there must inevitably be an intelligence holding sway over everything. As the famous Hungarian scientist Szent-Gyorgyi (Nobel prizewinner) says: ‘All the same, there must be something driving it all.’ In my opinion ‘driving’ is just the right term. I do not know who could be doing this ‘driving.’ However, in a nutshell, it is an intelligence, whatever form it may assume.”—“Dieu existe? Oui” (Does God exist? Yes), 1979, Stock Editions.

Well the universe has an actual age though. I think God exists in each and every one of us. We are the manifestation of God. God has always been because God is just an energy....thats what I think

Answer 6

No. God does not exist. Prove to me that he does exist. You can't. Believing in god is completely faith based, and has no scientific evidence to back it up. Therefore, I believe that there is not any sort of god.

Answer 7

Yes God exists. YOu exist? Somone had to design and plan us out! And that is God.

Answer 8

God has always been here. No one created God. It is hard for us to understand something that does not have the beginning and the end.

He exists. God is alive and well.
