You Cannot. When I sat there I thought Quickly. This man will listen to no arguement no stantement I make from My life. So I did something that is amazing I said. "if he isn't real if I am deluded then if I pray that he will reveal himself to you nothing will happen" So on the Train I laid hands and prayed I prayed that the Lord would reveal himself in a way that the man would understand. If you wonder. If you are reading this you wonder... Pray. Ask him to prove himself. That is what happened to me. What do you think to that?

Yes you can......
Can you look at a black car with a Jaguar logo on it and say that it didn't have a creator.
If you study Anatomy you will find that the human body is so intelligently designed. How could evolution make everything so precise.
Just like the car it would be stupid to assume that we as a people did not have a creator

You said you prayed that GOD would reveal himself in a way that man would understand. Man understands differently, so what you would understand to be simple some other person might perceive as complex.
You should ask GOD as I do. I am a firm believer that there is a GOD, an Almighty and when I pray to him for answers I ask that he speak to me as if I were a 4 year old.
GOD does not need to prove himself. He IS. The sunshine you feel on your face, the wind that blows through your hair. The water that cleanses you and takes your thirst. The soil that feeds the world. Your breath, your heartbeat, listen to it and you will find that GOD is closer to you than your own breath. YOU don't need to argue the existence of GOD.
Peace and Love your way.

If you are only talking about the Christian God, then you can't. The Bible is a concept of god, not a proof. If you are just talking about a god as in an Intelligent Designer, then you can. You can use science to argue the existence of a god. Every living cell contains encoded information. Information suggests intelligence. How does information come from mere matter?
Now, you may not accept that, but I can argue it, and without using the Bible.

The existence of the Divine is not about a need to argue but a personal relationship to all that there is. In some ways of course if you find the need to validate the existence of the Divine asking to be shown is all that is required you are correct but to then follow this up with the idea that therefore you cannot know the Divine/God/Goddess etc without the Bible misses the point that you established through prayer, you don't need rules, scripture, dogma etc to reach sublime connection, you only need to know/connect with the Divine.

Every human culture that has ever existed has recognized the logical necessity of a God, and have taken steps to try to find that God. And most of these had no access to the Bible. In fact many of these cultures existed long before the Bible existed.

Look around and see the work of the Lord's hands. God says we have no excuse not to believe in Him. If you ask He will reveal Himself to you. God is LIFE and we have life in us so we have a part of God in us. Man has never been able to produce life from nothing. We produce after our kind. So whatever God placed in the blood of Adam, it has continued down from generation to generation and it is God's part in us.

Yes, one can argue the existence of God without the Bible. It is called the theory of irreducible complexity. It is opposed to the theory of evolution.
You simply cannot ignore the fact that an Intelligent Designer was involved in the creation of our world and the universe. The beauty, order and irreducible complexity of our world and the universe simply cannot be attributed to chance. NOT A CHANCE!
Peace and every blessing!

To the answerer who gave out the standard 'nothing can come from nothing' argument - I'm tired of it. This argument is a paradox without egress.
If nothing can come from nothing, then how can god exist without a creator of his own? The logic that you apply to the 'creation' of the universe also invalidates your agenda. Now, I know the standard retort to this point is to say something unverifiable like 'god is outside of time and space' (meaning he would have to rip time and space to interact with us) or another low-level variant of 'god has superpowers'. I'll save you the effort - this argument is unverifiable, undocumented, and you are pulling at straws.

I think it would be possible to argue the existence of God without a bible simply by asking the...
1.3 Billion Islamists
1.4 Billion Buddhists
937 million Atheists (including me)
870 million Hindus
who don´t believe in Jesus or "God" for their opinion. all of them will shoot you down (quite literally in some cases) with their own beliefs, and all of them without the aid of the Bible.

Creation. You know, the Bible wasn't even around until after Christ died. Christ died around 30 AD. But, God was around with Moses, and people believed in God before the Bible, what about the Jews during Ceasers time?
