Don't Tell Me To Read The Bible?

Question

What Proof is there that their is a God, don't say look in the good book, because I don't support that book. Can you give any other reasons as to why God Exists?

What proof is there?

Answer 1

fine then read a science book

Answer 2

Arch: Scientifically; there is no "proof" either way of God's existence nor God's non-existence. This is attributed to the fact that science deals solely, with the material and God is spirit (non-material).
The scientific EVIDENCE though, points to a Higher Intelligence for there being a Creator. One example is the fossil record; namely, the Cambrian division or phylia. This is what Paleontologists refer to the "Big Bang". Herein, contains a sudden explosion of animal life and the vertebrae common to humans. This points to a Creator since Darwin stated that creation was a divergence - a slow adaptive process encompassing millions of years. Darwin therefore, is wrong, as evidenced by the existence of this Cambrian phylia. Also; there is the existence of the isotope form of Uranium (U232), which decays or breaks down ( half-life) into the element Lead (Pb), after, about 7 to 10 thousand years. Consider this. If the earth's surface is millions of years old, why then, hasn't ALL the Uranium 232 decayed into Lead by now? Now; there are many other pieces of evidence, which point to and demand the existence of a Creator - what do you think ?

Answer 3

Hun, if you can't see the proof of God in His Creation, or feel His love in your own heart, there is very little point in telling you to read the Bible, it would only be a waste of your time.
Either you believe, or you don't, it really is as simple as that. It isn't up to me or any one else to give you "proof"....if you look for it, you will find it....on the other hand, if what you are looking for is "proof" that there is no God, you will find that, too.
The problem is that people try to confuse what is spiritual with what is physical....yes, that goes for "religious" people as well. "Religion" is nothing, it causes more harm than good.
For me, I want a true relationship with a Living God. Nothing less will suffice.
You can have that too, but not if you keep looking for "proof". You will either find it within yourself, or you will never find it at all.

Answer 4

"Proofs" is one of those words. "Proof" in math isn't the same as proof in history or in interpersonal relationships or in biology or in any one of a host of other disciplines.

But let me give you a simple argument called "The Cosmological Argument." The argument is this: The cosmos is here and must be explained as to how it got here. This argument is using the law of cause and effect, which states: Every effect must have a preceding and adequate cause (the cause must come first and be adequate). What do I mean by adequate? Well, the building didn’t collapse because a mosquito landed on it. The tsunami didn’t hit because someone threw a pebble into the ocean.

Now, when it comes to explaining the existence of the universe, you only get three possibilities: (1) the universe is eternal (it has always been here), (2) the universe created itself, or (3) something created the universe. There is no other possibility except to claim that the universe is simply an illusion and does not exist. So let’s examine these three possibilities to see which is the most reasonable.

First, is the universe eternal? Absolutely not. We know this is true because of the universally recognized second law of Thermodynamics (the law of energy decay or entropy). This law states that everything goes downhill from order to disorder, more usable energy to less. This law is the reason why heat flows from hot to cold and why this building will fall apart if it is not kept up with. If someone doesn’t believe in the second law of thermodynamics, just challenge them to live forever; even with this awesome machinery we have in our bodies, you will eventually wear out and die. We can see that the universe is running down and wearing out; the stars are burning up, the radioactive atoms are decaying, etc. As Psalm 102:26 says, the heavens “will wear out like a garment.” Given enough time, the universe will experience what some call a “heat death” where there is no more energy available for work (everything will just be low level heat energy); every part of the universe will be the same temperature, and no further work will be possible.

Eternal things obviously do not wear out because they would have had an infinite amount of time to come to their end. Since you cannot have an end without a beginning, the universe must have had a beginning. And everything that has a beginning has a cause. This building had a beginning, you had a beginning, therefore there must have been a preceding and adequate cause. The evolutionists know this and so they came up with the “big bang” theory from that “cosmic egg” (the universe exploded into existence). But there is still a major problem, you have to explain where that “cosmic egg” came from. As it has been said, “There must be a cosmic chicken.” Some scientists like Carl Sagan and Isaac Asimov proposed the oscillating universe theory to avoid a beginning. This theory states that the universe acts like a yo-yo; it explodes and then gravity pulls it back in, and then the process repeats itself over and over. But the second law of Thermodynamics still refutes that idea, since each cycle would exhaust more and more usable energy. The universe is not eternal!

Ok, that brings us to the second possibility: Did the universe create itself? I think Hebrews 3:4 answers that pretty well, “...every house is built by someone...” Let’s say I walk into my livingroom and see a crayon drawing of our family on the wall. When I ask my daughter where it came from, will I accept her answer of, “It just appeared there; it came from nothing”? Her grandparents might, but I won’t. It is pretty clear that something cannot bring itself into existence. As R.C. Sproul has said, “It is impossible for something to create itself. The concept of self-creation is a contradiction in terms, a nonsense statement . . . It would have to have the causal power of being before it was. It would have to have the power of being before it had any being with which to exercise that power.” As it has been said, “Nothing scratched its head one day and decided to become something.” I’m sorry to have to drop this bombshell on you, but from nothing, comes nothing.

And now the third possibility: Did something create the universe? If the universe is not eternal and could not have created itself, then the only remaining alternative is that the universe was created by something or Someone. This would have to be a transcendent, eternal, self-existing being. I can find only one satisfactory explanation to our conundrum, and that is found in Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

Someone may argue, “If the universe needs a cause, then why doesn’t God need a cause; who created God?” The answer is, everything that has a beginning has a cause. God, unlike the universe, did not have a beginning. Time is linked to matter and space (as we can see from Einstein’s general relativity). If God created the universe, then He created time along with matter and space. If God created time, then He is outside of time and doesn’t need a beginning.

What is more absurd, to believe that God Created everything out of nothing or that nothing turned itself into everything? The fact is, we live in a Universe that is an effect. There must be a preceding and adequate cause for it. The only thing that makes sense is a Creator who is more powerful than anything we can imagine.

Answer 5

Unfortunatly there is no proof and to be completly honest I don't read the bible. I do know that God exists, and I can't really explain it. I guess it's just something I feel. I know that God is always watching over me, and is listening to me. I know that the world exists because God created it and he created all of us too. I don't believe in Hell, I think the whole idea of hell is fiction.
When I stopped looking to the church and the bible for answers, life just started making more sense. The best advise I can give you is to look with in yourself, you'll find all the answers there. Decide for yourself what you feel is right and if you come to the conclusion that God exists, that's great...if not, keep looking for something to believe in.

Answer 6

There has to be a creator of all this. Something. The sun the moon and the stars. Human beings. Animals. The trees, the planet. Etc. etc.

Did YOU make YOU? Did your parents make you (other than fugging)?

What is the point of your question, because you don't seem to WANT to believe in God. Yet....you obviously can't let it go. Do you want someone to say, "there is no God...go live your life".

You don't need God? Maybe you don't understand God. Maybe you've been given false, mis-interpreted information? Misinformation!??

If you really want proof there's a God just start praying. Giving homage to God, thanking him for your life, and start thinking about other people.

The times I know God is the most real, are when I'm doing good for others and the Holy Spirit is my strength. I feel a high that can't be explained. I'm doing things that I would NEVER do. Cause I'm a selfish prick. So to do outside of myself, that's God. Working through me.

Answer 7

What proofs AREN'T there that there isn't a God?

Here's only one among many. Consider the earth in all it's complexity. Earth is the only known planet in the universe able to sustain life. If the earth were only a fraction closer to the sun we'd all burn. If the earth was only a fraction further from the sun we'd all freeze to death. The earth is positioned in such a way that it's axis keeps us at the perfect temperature all the time. All creation, the trees, plants, flowers, etc. would have all had to happen by mere coincidence and chance in order to be alive.

Science screams CREATOR everywhere, it's crazy to think that everything and everybody is here by some cosmic accident. We're way too complex for that.

Answer 8

Look at all the evil in the world!

Why is there such evil?
And why so much of it?

God's Word (yes, the Bible!) tells us!

Romans 1:21-25
For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. [22] Professing to be wise, they became fools, [23] and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
[24] Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. [25] For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Evil proves the existance of God, Who is ever good, righteous, and Blessed for ever.

Answer 9

For m my life is proof that there is a God. All that has happened in my life is proof and my testimony is proof simply because there is no other explanation to things that have occurred in my life with me and my family.


I have not always been a believer but I sure am now!!!!

Answer 10

If there was PROOF of God, there wouldn't be the test of life. That's why you have to have FAITH. God could show himself but he doesn't want to, so he can sort out the good people from the evil people. There will be proof, though, in the end times

Answer 11

There could be nothing without a creator. There is no other "BOOK" that was inspired by GOD. HIS TRUTH is everlasting. There are a number of things that were told Centuries before man ever thought of them. For Instance: 1. The earth is round. 2. The earth hangs freely. 3. Christ was foretold centuries before HIS BIRTH and Every prophesy about HIM was accurate.

There were writings about HIM from other sources that tell us HE Existed and HIS Miracles were written about by non-Christians as well as Christians of that time. The Old Testament was the Jewish Lawbook and HIstorybook. Have a great day.
