The name God refers to the deity held by monotheists to be the supreme reality. God is believed to be the sole creator of the universe. As of 2007, a majority of human beings are classified as adherents of religions that worship a monotheistic God, usually the Abrahamic God of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Theologians have ascribed certain attributes to God, including omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, perfect goodness, divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence. He has been described as incorporeal, a personal being, a source of moral obligation, and the greatest conceivable existent.These attributes were supported to varying degrees by the early Christian, Muslim, and Jewish scholars, including St Augustine, Al-Ghazali,and Maimonides, respectively.

All the notable medieval philosophers developed arguments for the existence of God, attempting to wrestle with the contradictions God's attributes seem to imply. The last few hundred years of philosophy have seen sustained attacks on some of the arguments for God's existence, put forth by such philosophers as Immanual Kant, David Hume and Antony Flew, although Kant held that the Argument from morality for the existence of God was valid. The theist response has been either to contend, like Alvin Plantinga, that faith is properly basic; or to accept, like Richard Swinburne, the evidentialist challenge..

God is beyond any definition.
A humans mind and talking power (manas and vaak) can't comprehend and describe it.By this ,don't be under the impression that it is an escapist way and because none knows about Him they are telling all sorts of these things.

God is to be experienced and can't be expressed.He is beyond all expressions.The language in insufficient to explain him.
Just because you do not have adefinition do not argue that God does not exist.
when you are awake and see and hear any thing you are able to say that you saw this or that....you heard this or that......you tasted this or that.Suppose your mind is not here and else where ......for example in an hour you have your final exams and you are thinking of how best you face it and come out with good marks ..........then you are served food .....mentally you are thinking about exams...mechanically you eat the food without any feeling...and after you finished eating , some one asks how is the food? what would you say?.Nothing as your mind was not here.So though the eyes are open we can't see some times,similarly we can't hear sometimes.so there is a link between these physical motor organs and sense organs which should be present to make you feel your activity.In deep sleep you see almost all the material things, natural sceneries beautiful places ...eat a very delicious food or feel pain or happiness etc.After you are awake. you know it is dream.Where are the objects you saw in the dream?What happened to them?With your eyes shut you could see things.So the mind is capable of seing,tasting.feeling emotions with yourout the help of your organs. What is that power that makes you see . and makes you hear ,taste ..etc?
If I show you all the parts of a wrist watch ,placed on a table and explain all parts and say that if all are assembled it becomes a wrist watch and shows time and acts like this you believe.But finally when I say no one created all these parts the evolved themselves like that or the wrist watch it self evolved like that without any person manufacturing you laugh at.If one shows the sky and explains the celestial spheres and explains their orbits and speed and about their accuracy for millions of years etc and say this celestial watch was created by some supreme intelligence, you argue ......no no they evolved like that themselves, and none created them.What a fantasy?
Just because it can't be explined ,do not determine it does not exist.
Xrays,infra red rays, radio waves, mobile voice waves(electronic of course) ,waves of so many TV and Radio stations of World exist around you.You believe them even though you can' see them,feel them.
Please read good spirutal Books.I recommend Yoga vaashistam and other Great Indian epics.You will definitely feel the presence of HIm.
God bless you

The english word 'GOD' is the acronynm for Generator Operator and Destroyer. When the English language was in the evolutionary stage people look to find a word that would represent the trinity concept of Hindus - Lord Bhrama (Father of Objects, Time) Lord Vishnu(Manager of Objects, Preserver) Lord Shiva (Destroyer of Objects), and . Remember this was the time of Renaissance in Europe which was made possible due to fighting and subsequent exchange of ideas flowing to Europe from Arabs. "GOD is the controller of manifested and un-manifested OBJECTS in the universal System". So there are three aspects on an object which can be explained as below : An object is created in time and managed in time and then undergoes distructions after some time. "Necessity is the mother of all OBJECTS"
My friends, this is the eternal truth.

God is only a concept of man. Each human defines him in a way that suits them at a particular time. God can do wonders and miracles which we can't do. When we are stuck he can help us. No proof exists about the existence of god as of today.

No, no proof.
You can't proof god doest not exist.
That in itself means nothing; it just means people can think of more things that can be proved. Example: I can think of goblins; that doesn't mean they exist, or that anybody has to try to prove they exist or not. It just means I can think it up.

You can't proof god exists.
This is easily explained. God is almighty and he doesn't want to reveal his presence. So, us being mere mortals can not prove his existance if he doesn't want us to.
Does that mean he exists? No, see previous point.
Some claim the proof is in the bible, but then again, you have to believe the bible.

That's why it's called 'faith'. You have to take a leap of faith, then you can believe.

Read up about invisible pink unicorns; very powerful beings, proved by the fact they're both pink and invisible at the same time. We have faith that they are pink; We can't prove their existence because they are invisible.
This is a well known example out on the net; read up on it.

Since each of us is a part of God, it goes without saying that no part can define the whole. All that you can see, hear, touch etc. and also all that beyond the senses is part of the whole, there is no way of defining God.

God is the endless power which had made us. We can define god and we also cannot define god. This power has amny proofs but it is just like u.f.o's. Who ever wants to beleive in god he/she beleives and other don't. But this is true that god is there otherwise we will be not here.

If God could be explained away in mere words, He wouldnt be very Godly now would He?

Faith...its a belief in things not seen.

Proof God exists is the effect He has on people of the world.
