That all depends on what the word 'God' means to you. There is obviously no man in the sky with a big beard that waved a magic wand and created everything. I do relate very much to the ancient way of interpreting God however. The entire universe is alive with energy and God Itself is just like an endless sea of energy that all things came from. The universe is one whole and everything is connected to everything else within it. In that way I do believe that the Universe or 'God' if you want to call it that, is one creative being that all things came from and are never seperate from just as most ancient sages talked about. Many modern versions(Interpretations) of God are crazy and down right silly for sure. The word God essentially just means creator. The wolrd has obviously been created, by nature or whatever words you want to use. So yes, there is a God of some sort. Even the greatest scientists in history from Einstein to Newton all understood that there is some sort of creative power behind all and that it all comes from the same thing. Einstein and Newton the two most respected scientists in history both died believing the exact same thing. That the universe is actually 'one infinite being' just as many traditional holy men(From Buddism to Hinduism to Judaism and beyond) have been telling the world for thousands of years. The modern Christian interpretation I find to be pure insanity and nothing but brainwash induced by fear and guilt. I don't believe that God is something to be feared, we are all a part of God. God is the positive creative force(Energy) behind all that is. We recieve energy from God through the sun and are able to use it in a human fashion(Thoughts, beliefs and actions).

Proof that God exist.

When you look at a building, how do you know there was a builder? You haven't seen the builder, or heard him or touched him. But, you know there is a builder because the building is proof that there was a builder. You don't need faith, just eyes that can see and a brain that works.

What about a painting? How do you know there was a painter? Well, the painting is proof that there was a painter. You couldn't ask for better proof that a painter exist. It doesn't take faith, just eyes that can see and a brain that works.

When you look at creation, how do we know there was a creator? Well, creation is proof enough that a creator exist. You couldn't ask for better proof of a creator than the creation itself. It doesn't take faith, just eyes that can see and a brain that works.

Just like a sun rises everyday, but the blind people are never able to see it, similarly GOD is like a sun is present in everything. It does not matter to Him whether you believe in Him or not, He is in Absolute Bliss. Whether we are a believer or a non-believer only affects us. We will never be in true happiness without Him. He has given free will to all of us - to choose Him or avoid Him - to choose misery or limitless joy.

The only answer to your question is the one found in Hebrews 11:1, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Only by faith can you believe in God. Without faith, there is no God for you. As the quote says, faith is the evidence (conviction) of things not seen, of the spiritual things.

It is the same for things like ghosts, UFO's, ESP, the "paranormal" realm, etc., etc. If you do not have faith in those things, if you do not believe in them, then there is no way that they exist in your "reality."

The choice is yours... The Christians' faith tells them there REALLY IS a God. For the non-believer, again, their faith tells them there is no god, or there is some other type of god other than the Christian God. Again, Hebrews explains it clearly (Hebrews 11:6), "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." See? Without faith, you cannot "please" God, that is, there's no way to believe in Him. One part is conditional upon the other.

I hope you can understand this concept... whether you BELIEVE it is a matter of your choice to BELIEVE or not.

I don't believe because I see too many things within each religion that contradict itself. I also don't believe because none of them ring true. Of course, we can't really know the truth, but that will take care of itself we die. Unless, of course, I'm right, in which case there will be no knowledge upon death since my mind will cease to function.

In my opinion No, not in the sense of a Being or person. There is however a creative force or Universal Mind/Soul.

Yes, there is a Godhead...comprised of two very evolved beings who were not satisfied knowing what they were...pure energy beings...they decided to be what they are. You cannot know yourself as light unless you step into darkness kind of thing. And so they did, and so we are, and so is all that we know, and have yet to be. See?

Yes, but you must know this for yourself, the truth lies deep within you. All seekers end up here, and the seeking stops because what was lost is found. And it is in you.

Who Is God?
"GOD is the name commonly given to the ultimate source and power of the universe and the subject of religious devotion," says The Encyclopedia Americana. A dictionary defines the term "God" as "the supreme or ultimate reality." What is the nature of such an awesome reality?

Is God an impersonal force or a real person? Does he have a name? Is he a triune entity, a Trinity, as many believe? How can we come to know God? The Bible provides truthful and satisfying answers to these questions. In fact, it encourages us to seek God, saying: "He is not far off from each one of us." —Acts 17:27.

An Impersonal Force or a Real Person?
Many who believe in God think of him as a force, not as a person. In certain cultures, for example, gods have been identified with the forces of nature. Some who have examined evidence gathered through scientific research into the structure of the universe and the nature of life on earth have concluded that there has to be a First Cause. Nevertheless, they hesitate to attach a personality to this Cause.

Yet, does not the complexity of creation indicate that the First Cause must have had great intelligence? Intelligence requires a mind. The great mind responsible for all creation belongs to the person of God. Yes, God has a body, not a physical one like ours, but a spiritual body. "If there is a physical body," says the Bible, "there is also a spiritual one." (1 Corinthians 15:44) Explaining the nature of God, the Bible clearly states: "God is a Spirit." (John 4:24) A spirit has a form of life that differs greatly from ours, and it is invisible to human eyes. (John 1:18) There are invisible spirit creatures as well. They are angels —"the sons of the true God." —Job 1:6; 2:1.

Since God is an uncreated person with a spiritual body, he logically has a place of residence. Referring to the spirit realm, the Bible tells us that the heavens are God's "established place of dwelling." (1 Kings 8:43) Also, the Bible writer Paul states: 'Christ entered into heaven itself to appear before the person of God for us.' —Hebrews 9:24.

The word "spirit" is also used in the Bible in another sense. Addressing God in prayer, the psalmist said: "If you send forth your spirit, they are created." (Psalm 104:30) This spirit is not God himself but a force that God sends forth, or uses, to accomplish whatever he wishes. By means of it, God created the physical heavens, the earth, and all living things. (Genesis 1:2; Psalm 33:6) His spirit is called holy spirit. God used his holy spirit to inspire the men who wrote the Bible. (2 Peter 1:20, 21) Hence, the holy spirit is the invisible active force that God uses to fulfill his purposes.


God used his holy spirit to create the earth
and to inspire men to write the Bible

God Has a Unique Name
The Bible writer Agur asked: "Who has gathered the wind in the hollow of both hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in a mantle? Who has made all the ends of the earth to rise? What is his name and what the name of his son?" (Proverbs 30:4) In effect, Agur was asking, 'Do you know the name or family line of any man who has done these things?' Only God has the power to control natural forces. While the creation provides powerful proof that God exists, it is silent about the name of God. In fact, we could never know God's name unless God himself revealed it to us. And he has. "I am Jehovah," says the Creator, "that is my name." —Isaiah 42:8.

God's unique name, Jehovah, occurs nearly 7,000 times in the Hebrew Scriptures alone. Jesus Christ made that name known to others and praised it before them. (John 17:6, 26) That name is found in the last book of the Bible as a part of the expression "Hallelujah," meaning "praise Jah." And "Jah" is the shortened form of "Jehovah." (Revelation 19:1-6, footnote) Yet, many modern Bibles seldom use that name. They often use the word "LORD" or "GOD," written in all capital letters to set it apart from the common titles "Lord" and "God." Some scholars suggest that the divine name may have been pronounced Yahweh.


Jesus made God's name
known to others

Why such differing views about the name of the greatest Personage in the universe? The problem began centuries ago when the Jews superstitiously ceased to pronounce the divine name and started to substitute the Hebrew word for "Sovereign Lord" whenever they came to the divine name as they read the Scriptures. Since Biblical Hebrew was written without vowels, there is no way to know precisely how Moses, David, and others of ancient times pronounced the letters that make up the divine name. However, the English pronunciation, Jehovah, has been in use for centuries, and its equivalent in many languages is widely accepted today. —Exodus 6:3; Isaiah 26:4, King James Version.

Though there is uncertainty about how God's name was pronounced in ancient Hebrew, its meaning is not a complete mystery. His name means "He Causes to Become." Jehovah God thereby identifies himself as the Great Purposer. He always causes his purposes and promises to become reality. Only the true God, who has the power to do this, can rightfully bear that name. —Isaiah 55:11.

Unquestionably, the name Jehovah serves to distinguish Almighty God from all other gods. That is why that name appears so often in the Bible. While many translations fail to use the divine name, Psalm 83:18 clearly states: "You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth." During his ministry, Jesus Christ taught his followers: "You must pray, then, this way: 'Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.'" (Matthew 6:9) We should, then, use God's name when we pray, speak of him, and praise him before others.

Yes. Allah has sent down miracles, revelations and messengers to give clear proofs He exists and more important, what we should do once we come to this realization.

Allah has sent prophets and messengers with many proofs throughout the ages for people to be able to clearly see with their own eyes and to be able to use their own senses the miracles and proofs pointing to the fact, Allah does in fact, exist.

Miracles of prophets and messengers of Allah have come to people through the ages. Moses, peace be upon him, showed many miracles to pharoah and to the children of Israel. Plagues, locusts, water turning to blood, his stick becoming a snake, the voice in the burning bush and the parting of the Red Sea were are clear miracles for the people of Moses time.

Again, Allah sent Jesus, the son of Mary, peace be upon him, with clear miracles for the people of his time. Speaking from the cradle while still a new born infant, creating birds from clay, curing the sick, giving sight to the blind and even bringing a dead man back to life, were all clear signs to the people to know Jesus, peace be upon him, was a messenger of Allah as was Moses before him.

Muhammad, peace be upon him, was the last and final messenger of Allah, and he was sent to all of mankind. Allah sent him with a number of miracles, not the least of which was the Quran. The predictions and propheies of Muhammad, peace be upon him, have come true even in this century and the Quran has been used to convince even scientists of the existence of Allah.
[Please visit "Science Proves Allah": Watch video of famous scientists admit Quran is from Allah and even accept Islam]

The Quran is the best of proofs for the existence of Allah and today over one and half billion people memorize and rectie from the exact text, in the exact same language it was revealed in; Arabic. More than 10 million Muslims have completely memorized the entire Quran from cover to cover, and can recite it from memory without looking at it.

No one sees or hears Allah, not even the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Nor are we able to use our senses to make some kind of contact with Him. However, we are encouraged in Islam to use our senses and our common sense to recognize all of this universe could not possibly come into existence on its own. Something had to design it all and then put it into motion. This is beyond our ability to do, yet it is something we can understand.

We know from the teachings of Muhammad, peace be upon him, the proofs for the existence of God (Allah) are most obvious to us in our everyday surroundings. Anyone with understanding would quickly acknowledge His existence provided they are not so stubborn as to ignore the obvious evidencers in front right in front of us.

We don't have to see an artist to recognize a painting, correct? So, if we see paintings without seeing artists painting them, in the same way, we can believe Allah created everything without having to see Him (or touch, or hear, etc.).
