Yes, it is the only explanation to life...
The reason for life is to prove to God that we believe he exists...
We submit ourselves to living out the purpose that he created us for....
Without that there is no true peace or happiness to the choices that we make in our lives....
Then you may ask why do bad things happen....
We have got to understand that God is looking for the people that choose to believe in Him so that those that believe can spend eternity in heaven with Him....
Therefore, God is searching for is chosen ones....The devil is God's tool used to test the hearts of men and women...and ultimately finding his faithful ones...
So, finding your faith system helps you to find God....and you will then know what battles are worth fighting in life...and you will know the purpose in which you were created...without wavering...but standing firm in the things that God has ordained for you to influence and the people He wants you to cross in your journey...
Everything, Everyone has a purpose...nothing is by happen chance....all things are perfect in God's time...
But you have to seek God for yourself....
The Bible helps to confirm the existance of God...
You can believe and have faith in history books and journals of former historians....
So believe in the written history book/word of God....the Holy Bible...gives revelations and strength to those willing to believe....

I have wondered the same thing from time to time, especially when you look around and see so much evil and destruction. But then you realize that is due to human behavior, and God does not control our actions, but gives us free will to either worship him or not, or listen to his advice or not. If you notice, all the things that He says in the Bible are actually a protection for us. For instance, if we abstain from sex before marriage, we don't have to worry about things like STD's and unwanted pregnancy. Or if we don't steal and murder, we don't have to suffer consequences that go along with those things. God is a spirit, and it says that humans cannot see spirits, we see things in a physical manner. Have you ever sat near the ocean, or woke up early in the morning and heard that first bird chirp and then all the other ones join in? Everything has a certain order and God designed all of that to work in harmony together. And He wanted humans to not be ignorant about His existence through the Bible, where He inspired men to write down the things we need to know about Him and what he expects from us. Please read Proverbs2:1-9.

This was all in place from Plato and Aristotle. The Christians only took it over. The Bible never argues for the existence of God because it is 'knowable by reason with certainty". And St Paul makes this point, there is no excuse.

Hahhaha. .Okay im not going to try to convert you but here is a theory. (not proof)
Try to figure out what created the universe. Then think about what created the force that created the universe. Then you figure out what created that force then you figure out what created that force and so on. . .
what conclusion am i coming to? The eternal one, the one that created what created all that is created is the ultimate force, an eternal force of time, the one that created the loop of existance is God. Whether or not its a God, Devil, force, person, or thing, i can not answer.
also, the bible koran and other books are just books of mythology.
also if you doubt your existance in this world that nothing exists try this out for size.
say " i do not exist" 20 times.
Good job! now you proved you exist! Cause you need to exist before you can doubt your existance.

Well I cant prove it for you but for me I feel it If im like outside on a beatiful day, maybe with my loved ones, and this feeling of completeness sweeps over me. Like we are all one and what we are doing here is very important. I dont know if anything like that has ever happened to you

Christianity is a faith. If proof were available you would no longer need faith.
A good Christian should therefore not seek proof but the evidence of the questions here show that most Christians on YA are in extreme doubt about their beliefs!!

No -one can prove or disprove the existence of God. Sorry.
Personally I dont believe any of it, but you can and more power to you. But dont ask for real proof to back up either viewpoint, it doesnt exist.

I don't know if any one could prove to you that there is a God. However, if you think about all of the stuff on earth, do you think that could have just happened!? I don't!!

there is word going around that to believe in god without proof proves he is real.... now I believe in shinigami... god/godess of death. Death is like taxes there is no run ning nor hiding from it. So having a name to it makes people feel better. and in my line of work(Air Force cop) I'm that much closer to death. so having a name to pray to helps me alot. and I know if I come home that night/ morning My prayer was answered.

Information and Intelligence
Interviewed in a documentary film, Professor Maciej Giertych, a noted geneticist from the Institute of Dendrology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, answered:
“We have become aware of the massive information contained in the genes. There is no known way to science how that information can arise spontaneously. It requires an intelligence; it cannot arise from chance events. Just mixing letters does not produce words.” He added: “For example, the very complex DNA, RNA, protein replicating system in the cell must have been perfect from the very start. If not, life systems could not exist. The only logical explanation is that this vast quantity of information came from an intelligence.”
The more you learn about the wonders of life, the more logical it is to agree with that conclusion: The origin of life requires an intelligent source. What source?
As noted earlier, millions of educated individuals conclude that life on earth must have been produced by a higher intelligence, a designer. Yes, after examining the matter fairly, they have accepted that even in our scientific age, it is reasonable to agree with the Biblical poet who long ago said about God: “For with you is the source of life.”—Psalm 36:9.
Whether you have yet reached a firm conclusion about that or not, let us turn our attention to some wonders that involve you personally. Doing so is most satisfying and may shed considerable light on this matter that touches our lives.

How Much Chance for Chance?
“Chance, and chance alone, did it all, from the primeval soup to man,” said Nobel laureate Christian de Duve, speaking about the origin of life. Is chance, though, a rational explanation for the cause of life?
What is chance? Some think in terms of a mathematical probability, such as the chance involved in flipping a coin. However, that is not how many scientists use “chance” regarding the origin of life. The vague word “chance” is used as a substitute for a more precise word such as “cause,” especially when the cause is not known.
“To personify ‘chance’ as if we were talking about a causal agent,” notes biophysicist Donald M. MacKay, “is to make an illegitimate switch from a scientific to a quasi-religious mythological concept.” Similarly, Robert C. Sproul points out: “By calling the unknown cause ‘chance’ for so long, people begin to forget that a substitution was made. . . . The assumption that ‘chance equals an unknown cause’ has come to mean for many that ‘chance equals cause.’”
Nobel laureate Jacques L. Monod, for one, used this chance-equals-cause line of reasoning. “Pure chance, absolutely free but blind, [is] at the very root of the stupendous edifice of evolution,” he wrote. “Man knows at last that he is alone in the universe’s unfeeling immensity, out of which he emerged only by chance.” Note he says: ‘BY chance.’ Monod does what many others do—he elevates chance to a creative principle. Chance is offered as the means by which life came to be on earth.
In fact, dictionaries show that “chance” is “the assumed impersonal purposeless determiner of unaccountable happenings.” Thus, if one speaks about life coming about by chance, he is saying that it came about by a causal power that is not known. Could it be that some are virtually spelling “Chance” with a capital letter—in effect saying, Creator?

“[The smallest bacterium] is so much more like people than Stanley Miller’s mixtures of chemicals, because it already has these system properties. So to go from a bacterium to people is less of a step than to go from a mixture of amino acids to that bacterium.”—Professor of Biology Lynn Margulis
[Box/Picture on page 36, 37]
Classic but Questionable
Stanley Miller’s experiment in 1953 is often cited as evidence that spontaneous generation could have happened in the past. The validity of his explanation, however, rests on the presumption that the earth’s primordial atmosphere was “reducing.” That means it contained only the smallest amount of free (chemically uncombined) oxygen. Why?
The Mystery of Life’s Origin: Reassessing Current Theories points out that if much free oxygen was present, ‘none of the amino acids could even be formed, and if by some chance they were, they would decompose quickly.’ How solid was Miller’s presumption about the so-called primitive atmosphere?
In a classic paper published two years after his experiment, Miller wrote: “These ideas are of course speculation, for we do not know that the Earth had a reducing atmosphere when it was formed. . . . No direct evidence has yet been found.”—Journal of the American Chemical Society, May 12, 1955.
Was evidence ever found? Some 25 years later, science writer Robert C. Cowen reported: “Scientists are having to rethink some of their assumptions. . . . Little evidence has emerged to support the notion of a hydrogen-rich, highly reducing atmosphere, but some evidence speaks against it.”—Technology Review, April 1981.
And since then? In 1991, John Horgan wrote in Scientific American: “Over the past decade or so, doubts have grown about Urey and Miller’s assumptions regarding the atmosphere. Laboratory experiments and computerized reconstructions of the atmosphere . . . suggest that ultraviolet radiation from the sun, which today is blocked by atmospheric ozone, would have destroyed hydrogen-based molecules in the atmosphere. . . . Such an atmosphere [carbon dioxide and nitrogen] would not have been conducive to the synthesis of amino acids and other precursors of life.”
