Show me in a sensible and rational way evidence that God exists?

Answer 1

bloody hell (no pun intended) I have honestly never seen a larger collection of half baked, rediculous, ill formed answers to a question in my entire life. With statements like "prove he doesn't", some drivel about mustard seeds and a frankly insane post about tyres becoming cars over 10,000 years is it a wonder that the number of people subscribing to the ideals of classical religion are falling at a record pace?

god this is going to be a long post and all I really want to do right now is go to bed, but I honestly feel like it was a sensible question which deserves not just a sensible answer but a sensible reply to some of the idiocy that went before it.

OK, lets do this in the order I wrote it above. Firstly it is not the responsibility asking for proof to disprove your premise that god exists. if that were the case I could simply declare that I can pull golden chickens out of my left nostrel. When you siad that I couldn't I'd simply tell you to prove it. By your logic, I'm obviously right, and I can in fact live the life of a wealthy man thanks to the virtues of my left nostrel.

I can't honestly recall what on earth that mustard seed post was about other than the fact that it was an elequant way of saying the above.

Finally as for the particularly stupid post about explosions being chaotic and that nothing exact or defined ever comes out of any explosion, I'd like to turn the posters attention to the nuclear explosion, every single one, regardless of mass, yield or country of production produces a mushroom cloud. Fuel Air bombs produce virtutally identical balst patterns time after time and shaped charge warheads produce identical blast patterns every single time they are used, it is the sole reason for thier existence.

Ok replies to the above posted I'd like to use the final one as one of the reasons for my belief that god does actually exist in one form or another. Now I'm not saying that he exists as the all loving father or that s/he fits nicely into one of the boxes described by any of the orthodox religions around the globe, personally my beliefs go in quite the opposite direction, but that is a moot point as it bears no relation to the question.

If we accept that the big bang theory is the most likely thoery to be true that modern science can provide us with, then the question remains as to who or what provided the intial energy to begin this explosion and who or what provided the energy with which to provide combustion? Coupled with this we have to look around and consider that the reuslt of the explosion was fairly none chaotic, the orbits of celestial bodies are for the most part stable and the formation of life has followed a fairly defined path through the ages. This lends itself to the idea of some form of design.

If your looking for an answer which provides you with evidence that god cares, listens or even notices our existence, then I'm afraid that that is something i can not help you with, but if you simply wanted some kind of proof that a creative force of some form existed then I hope that I've managed to provide you with an answer that at least turns your thoughts to the possibility that it does.

Answer 2

If you were walking down a street and saw a lot of pound coins lying on the road all over the place what would you think (apart from happy days), you would probably assume some one has dropped them or something...

On the other hand if you were walking down a street and saw a lot of pound coins lying on the road, but his time they were set out in a number of perfect straight rows, each one on it's edge exactly 4.75mm apart, and each row was 17.256mm apart, what would you think (again apart from happy days).

You would have to assume that someone or something put them there on purpose, by design, an intelligent mind is somehow behind it...

If we look at the world around us and see that what is mentioned above is so far removed from for example how perfect the earth is in orbit around the sun, how complex our brains are, a thread of DNA, the delicacy and intricacy in a simple petal of a rose, (I could go into a lot more detail here but the answer would be soooooo long) I don't really know how anyone can assume they came about by pure random chance, as opposed to being created by the hand of a Creator God.

Answer 3

You can't prove OR disprove anything based on purely faith. Haven't you silly people learned? Though personally, with war, disease, world hunger, a constant struggle worldwide for human rights, poverty, homelessness, prejudice, and so forth---I'm not impressed. Is this the best god can do? This crap should NOT be on the resume of a supreme being. If I were god, I would have at LEAST given everyone rights. Cause we have none. If we really did have rights, no one would be able to take them away. Maybe god exists, but doesn't give a flying crap? And if so, why "believe" him? Plus, what the hell kind of god throws his "children" in hell--a place of anguish where you will scream and burn and cry and be tortured for all of eternity.... just because said child doesn't believe in him, who has zero evidence for his very existence? What kind of god is that? One with no morals, maybe? You have more morals than god. If your child didn't love you, you wouldn't keep them in your closet/eternal pit of fire to torture them. Even if your child killed someone, would you torture them like that? I don't think I could, I'd call the cops on 'em sure, but I wouldn't be able to deal out harsh judgement like that. I'd sooner worship YOU than god. You're probably a decent person, you sound level-headed enough. A better question is, if a god exists, would you follow him? Even acknowledge his existence? I wouldn't.

Answer 4

Now that is the question that needs asking. Well done.

There is no evidence. People have asked how the planets and the stars were created after the big bang. A secondary school education can explain that; gravity.

Some have asked for you to prove he doesnt exist. My answer to that is if someone makes a claim with no evidence to back it up it is up to them to prove the being in their belief exists, not for someone else to prove it does not exist. *Thinks about the invisible microscopic teapot orbiting Earth*

Even if a God-like being exists, which it most likely does not, then there brings into question why it would care for just one planet out of the entire universe and then only one species on that one planet.

Answer 5

Oh gosh, i hate these straight answers!
there will come a time when u will know.
all i can do, if u r genuine is to say that u should keep an open mind.
as u asked the question so nicely, u may be extremely lucky. God very rarely calls people to Him, many seek Him bcos they are broken. He always answers.
The reason people do not hear God when they ask Him things is bcos though He is mighty, He speaks with a voice so gentle, the equivalent would be like a butterfly landing upon ur heart.
Sometimes He speaks without words and u literally just feel something.
Some can go a whole lifetime without being spoken to directly by God and yet He has guided them throughout.
There is a beautiful piece of text called "Footprints in the sand" If u keep this with u in ur top pocket, one day it may bring u incredible good fortune!!

Answer 6

Just look at the natural world around you! We have the moon and stars that no man could put out there, no man can create weather or even predict it for the most part. Who can make it windy, or who can keep the ocean in place? How does a tornado destroy one barn but not touch the shed right next to it? Can any man make it night or day or change the seasons? This isn't science, it is God! If you've ever been at the bedside of a child who is dying and she tells you she see's angels, where do you think they come from? Or the incurable patient who after prayers are prayed recovers? God is in everything.

Answer 7

If God, the One and Only One and the Unique who begets none nor is He begotten, does not exist what exists or existed? Nothing? Then what is nothing and Who created the nothing? The only answer in the ultimate is, it is God who has created everything from nothing or started the process of creation and let then let the process of creation keep running into physical, biological, chemical and mental forms.

Another way if God did not exist, did we exist before He had existed? Then who are us and who created us before the Ultimate Creator could exist? Again in the ultimatum the answer is, it is God, the most Gracious, who has created us. Both nothing and we are God's imagination. God is such a pure Absolute Being that as soon as He imagines something that starts to exits. As such God has created nothing to something.

Everything we see, skies, planets, stars are evidence of God's existence because if there were no such Absolute Super Power there had been no such physical, biological, chemical or mental forms, rules or principles through which these everything that we see could exit for centuries and even for longer periods.

Discoveries of physical, biological, chemical or mental forms, rules or principles that we boast of are also of God creation.

May the Creator, the One and Only One and the Unique who begets none nor is He begotten, gives us the eyes to be thankful to Him for His creation.

Answer 8

A bunch of atoms somehow managed to assemble themselves into a complex lump of matter which somehow managed to ask the question "Show me in a sensible and rational way evidence that god exists" Fluke?

Answer 9

Show me in a sensible and rational way evidence that God does not exist..

Then we can have a one on one conversation, via email or what not, about this issue, as I refute all ur arguments =)

Answer 10

I am not a church goer. I do believe God exists for the mere fact that we are. There has to be a reason we exist. It wouldn't make sense without it.
All the different religions though seem to be a simple form of government developed through the years in different parts of the world. That's why we have so many.
