Do you believe in God? Can you give an evidence why or why not?

Question

If God is true, why are there people who don't believe in Him?
If He isn't, what started life?

Answer 1

Not a single day goes by that this question does not show up. If you yourself are a believer than God exist and if not than he does not. There is no way to prove or disprove it so it is all up to each person to choose. You asked this question as many do but all the good that could have been achieved turned into a trashing of that which is not believed. I am disappointed in the believers and non-believers alike as they could simply say yes i believe or no i don't believe and i don't know why which is true without bashing what others believe for themselves. So in all honesty this question is based on two opposite opinions that can not be proved and will only create hate between the two sides. The important question is if you asked yourself if you believe because the opinion of others should never sway the feelings you have yourself. because there is no why or why not that you can use to prove or disprove either theory.

Answer 2

I believe very strongly that people move through different stages of belief in life. They can get stopped at any one, or choose to keep going. I am a seeker myself. I have had a spiritual calling since I was a very little girl (about 7), but I never knew what it meant. I was raised Lutheran, but it never meant much to me. In high school, I started learning about "the spirit that moves through all things", to quote a favorite person. That spoke to me, and resonated some truth. I admitted that I just didn't know what to belive for several years, and decided to be a decent human being for my own sake, and the world's sake, not because of some eternal reward. Why should an afterlife be more important than the life I know about? The more I learned about science, the more fascinated I became with this special language and way of viewing the world. I was convinced that levels of knowledge and consciousness can bring us closer to that which is eternal. I did not start really putting all the pieces together until a few years ago, when I witnessed a true miracle in Guatemala, and a human soul rising. I am convinced now there is a higher unity, that cares about us. I don't know what I call it, but I think it seeks its own source through its journey into enlightnement. I don't think it matters what I call it, just like I don't think it matters too much what you believe about it. Some people hear its voice louder than others, some misinterpret what they hear, and some need to believe in something whether they hear it or not. It is your deeds that define you, not your beliefs. Set a table that the Son of God would feel welcome sitting down at, and remember that we are gifted with the blessing of resources borrowed from our own grandchildren. We are at a turning point, I do believe that. I believe that I serve a higher power, and I hope to meet it one day. I have no proof other than the knowledge of what I witnessed one weekend. I want to believe, therefore I do. It's as simple as that sometimes.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, since a creator will never appear "on the White House Lawn", the only tools we have to determine whether it exists or not is logic, and again unfortunately logic exists to both prove and disprove the creators existance.

In looking for evidence "for", we find......... Creation.
In looking for evidence "against" we find ..... I suppose it could be expressed as what...... intangibility?

So then, it just becomes a personal choice.

One can choose to consider himself as a result of an evolutionary proccess that was dependent soley upon external influences, with the end result being the manifestation of an individual reliant upon continued external forces to obtain fulfillment.

Or, one can realize that there is whithin each of us, the ability to use other influences, such as reason, compassion, and in generel "unconditionality" in combination with those same evolutionary forces, with the end result being an ability to understand that That which created us may not have to be, as others insist, something that is inherently seperate from us.
That this life energy that activates us, basically from the atomic level on up, is, to use an analogy, all coming from the same generator.
Plants, animals and minerals also. Each posessed with the appropriate amount of this Life energy to fulfill a designated purpose.

Of course, some can say, thats a load of B.S. I'm compasionate and I still don't believe in God.

well, like I said, it's all a personal choice.

Answer 4

Some people "wont " believe because they wish to continue doing wrong.
John 3:19
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
The evidence for God is all around us!
Psalm 19

1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
The skies display his craftsmanship

Answer 5

god is real
there is evidence all around you
plus it takes a whole lot more imagination to believe in
the big bang theorie
explosions make stuff go apart not together

take for instance the rain cycle it is very organized it could not be by chance.

or even the food cycle shows intelligent desighn.

or the fact that the earth is the perfect distance from the sun
any closer or farther and we would die

you cant tell me all of this is just coincidence
God created all things.

Answer 6

The key to proving or disproving god is the definition of god. If you say that god is all knowing, but he gave us free will, that is a contradictory statement. It cannot be true. If there exists an "All Knowing" being, then we cannot have free will. It is not logically possible. That's actually one of the main underlying premises of The Matrix movies. Most people don't catch that.

Realistically the arguments against the existence of god are too many to list on here, but I would suggest googling "arguments for atheism" if you are really looking for answers.

Answer 7

To one who is a genuine Christian, there is no doubt about God’s existence. The Bible says,

‘For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption by which we cry, Abba, Father! The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God.’ (Rom. 8:14–16)

The Bible here says that Christians have a personal relationship with God. This is the testimony of those who have realized their sinfulness in the sight of Almighty God and the dire consequences of their sin, have repented of their sin, and have accepted the forgiveness of God made possible through Jesus’ death and resurrection. All such genuine Christians have received the Holy Spirit of God and so have assurance that they are ‘children of God.’ They can indeed know that they have eternal life (1 John 5:13).


Non-biblical evidence for the Creator God of the Bible
1. Natural law

There is a universal tendency for all systems of matter/energy to run down.30 Available energy is dissipated and order is lost. Without either a programmed mechanism or intelligent action, even open systems31 will tend from order to disorder, from information to non-information, and towards less availability of energy. This is the reason why heat flows from hot to cold, and why the sun’s energy will not make a dead stick grow (as opposed to a green plant, which contains specific, pre-programmed machinery to direct the energy to create a special type of order known as specified complexity).

Applied to the origin of the first life, this denies that such specified complexity can possibly arise except from outside information impressed on to matter. Applied to the whole universe, which is acknowledged as winding down to ‘heat death’ (that is, ‘cosmos to chaos’), this implies a fundamental contradiction to the ‘chaos to cosmos, all by itself’ essence of evolutionary philosophy.32,33

So, the universe had to be ‘wound up’ at the beginning and it could not have existed eternally. This requires some agent outside the universe to wind it up—just as a clock cannot wind itself!

Answer 9

Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.
