I can do that no more than you can prove to me there isn't one.

To me it's obvious from our whole world that we are all part of something larger, our complicated systems etc show there was a plan involved not some big bang. Watch a sunset, think about our ecosystem and how ellaborate it is, how ellabore our bodies are designed. To me there is much more proof in our everyday life that God does exsist than that he doesn't.

Since there are tombs that are worshipped to this day, Tomb of Abraham and Rachel, There is documentation that supports David's reign as King of Isreal that crossed the desert. Many evidence held in high regard that support stories in The Bible.
The ten Commandments are still held sacred to this day.
If Abraham pledged his loyalty, if David worshipped the same, if Solomon existed and pledge his life to the GOD of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, then deductive reasoning brings you to that which they worshipped.

Also, in the traditions that have been past down from generation to generation. Yet, this generation claims they dont have to listen to the others. this generation is smarter than all the others.

Lets not worry about why the Jewish did what they did. Lets forget all the traditions like circumcision, and how Passover is still celebrated to this day. How millions of muslims do what they do in a land most of us have never been.

Many will argue circumsicion was a pagan ritual.
Yes, until the Jewish adopted it as their own with its own significance. Many will argue about every tomb, every artifact, and prove what else it could be.

Ive read The Bible, and Ive compared it to the other ideas out there. Evolution? That big bang theory just doesnt seem to hold water, and all Darwin did was OBSERVE and classify.

But the words in The Bible, and the supporting evidence around points to somethign more than a single cell evolving to what is present day.
In the way people show compassion, in the way they believe, and pass down traditions, in the miracle of birth, and in the way more words that were prophesized have become true, you just know because you see with the eyes of your heart, and you hear the story of The Bible. And you just know.

There is my proof...
Can you prove to me the GOD of Abraham Isaac Jacob, of King David, of King Solomon, of JESUS CHRIST does not exist?

If there's anyone who can prove God's existence in a dispassionate, reasonable matter, it's C.S. Lewis (originally a Christian, became an atheist, then converted back to Christianity, held positions at Oxford University and later Cambridge University). His book Mere Christianity sets out to prove exactly this thing, and, at only 200 pages, is a relatively quick read for such a hefty subject. It's likely to be the best introduction one can ever have to religion of any sort, as Lewis sets out to prove the God's indisputable existence.

yes....can't you see in the world about you. everything is so intricate and detailed. Your body is amazing and how everthing works together perfectly....ecosystems, galaxies everything is so amazing. There just must of been a divine creator

The Bible (God's word) has been right every time! It is also hisorically proven (kings, events etc. that were mentioned really existed) and has stood the test of time, we still have copies of it over 4000 years old. Prophesies in God's word have also been fulfilled.

There is also evidence of God's soon return. Signs in the Bible the Bible foretell Christ's coming. These signs include: a greater number and ever increasing amount of: earthquakes (natural disasters) famines, pestilences, technology (increased so much in last 100 yrs), hatred among people /increase in wars.

these events are all taking place, and getting worse and worse. there is a God, one God, and He cares for you more than you would imagine

give Him a chance, pray and read your Bible please
God Bless

No. You either accept that there is a superior being of some kind, or you do not. Personally I am an evolutionist and do not believe in a creator. That is my choice. If you read the content of some of the responses to your question it is clear that they skate over the real issue. e.g. just to dismiss evolution as "impossible" and inanimate things taking care of themselves as "impossible" does not say WHY it is impossible. Aboriginal beliefs allow rocks and earth to have spirits and that is beautiful. Live and let live.

Well I don't have a pitcher. I believe by faith after Jesus died on the cross for my sins.
I guess if your one of those people that have to see it to believe it your time will come but sorry to say that may be to late.
How do you think you and everything around you was created?
Lets see you could believe in the big bang theory, Two rocks exploded in space and made trees,animals and all living things.
Or maybe evolution we all came from apes but then where did the apes come from? Hmmm. I think I'll stay with Jesus.

Here is: Quique Viae. It's one of the simpler proofs. However, there are in fact hundreds MORE but this is a shorter yet simple
proof.


St. Thomas Aquinas' Quinque Viae

You must first ask yourself, "What is truth?"

Then you must seek to answer that question.Truth is coherent with what you know (your concepts and ideas) and with what actually exists (reality).Let me introduce you to a logical syllogism, if you aren't already familiar with it.
Here's a simple example of a syllogism:
premise #1 All men are mortal
premise #2 Bob is a man
--------------------------------- conclusion Therefore, Bob is mortal

As you can see, the conclusion follows from the premises; this is called validity. Syllogisms with three premises are called enthymemes (IN-thuh-meems). Syllogisms with more than three premises are called sorites (SORE-uh-teez). Even though they have different names, they still hold the same logical characteristics of a smaller, two-premised syllogism. These 5 arguments are known as the Quinque Viae, which is Latin for The Five Ways, which was proposed by St. Thomas Aquinas. St. Thomas wrote an extensive amount of texts which can still be purchased in bookstores and/or online. I'm not going to boggle all of you with seemingly endless paragraphs; I will condense these ideas into short, simple, logical syllogisms.

The First Way "The Argument from Motion"
Nothing can move itself. For any object to move, something must move the object.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Therefore, If any object moves, then there must be a mover.St. Thomas called this Unmoved Mover "God." Why? Because God is eternal, from everlasting to everlasting; God has no beginning and no end. Why doesn't it make sense to humans? Because we're locked in a dimension called "time."

The Second Way"Argument from Causation (Creation) and Existence" There exists things that were caused or created by other things. Nothing can be the cause of itself (or create itself). There can not be an endless string of things causing other things to exist.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, there must be an uncaused first cause. St. Thomas is saying that everything has a beginning, and that beginning is God.

The Third Way"Argument from Contingent and Necessary Objects"Contingent beings are caused (every contingent being depends on another being).Not every being can be contingent (there must be something that isn't dependent on anything else.)There must be a being which is necessary to cause contingent beings.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Therefore, this necessary being is God.

The Fourth Way"Argument from Degrees and Perfection"Qualities of things differ (everything in the universe has a different level of quality).There are many different levels of quality.There must be a perfect standard by which all such qualities are measured.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Therefore, these perfections are contained in God (perfection personified). Something in the universe might be perfect to a degree, but not to a perfect perfection.

The Fifth Way"Argument from Intelligent Design"There is an observable universe and order in nature.Common sense (also known as judgment, by using the 5 senses) tells us that nature works in such a way.A person can conclude that everything was designed by an intelligent designer.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Therefore, God is the Intelligent Designer of all physical laws of nature and order in the universe.







Credit is given to St. Thomas for his dedication to the furtherance of the Kingdom of God. (c) 2005-2008 by Joel Chandler

Definitively with out a shadow of a doubt, no. No one can do that. That is the one thing wrong with religion, there is no proof, just faith. That is why I don't go to church, and don't believe in god. But I do still respect other peoples beliefs.

No. Nobody can prove the existence or otherwise of God by reason or laboratory demonstrations. YOU have to discover God by yourself.
