The are far more viable explanation of this universe than a God. The only constant in this universe is creation but that does not prove the existence of an all powerful God that can create with a wave of a hand or a snap of her fingers.
When you sit and ponder that reality of a God, the way this God character operates is inconsistent with the laws of the universe.

I got this in my mail. It proves that God exists using the standards you want.
The Big Bang theory was totally rejected at first. But those who supported it had predicted that the ignition of the Big Bang would have left behind a sort of 'hot flash' of radiation.
If a big black wood stove produces heat that you can feel, then in a similar manner, the Big Bang should produce its own kind of heat that would echo throughout the universe.
In 1965, without looking for it, two physicists at Bell Labs in New Jersey found it. At first, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson were bothered because, while trying to refine the world's most sensitive
radio antenna, they couldn't eliminate a bothersome source of noise. They picked up this noise everywhere they pointed the antenna.
At first they thought it was bird droppings. The antenna was so sensitive it could pick up the heat of bird droppings (which certainly are warm when they're brand new) but even after cleaning it off, they still picked up this noise.
This noise had actually been predicted in detail by other astronomers, and after a year of checking and re-checking the data, they arrived at a conclusion: This crazy Big Bang theory really was correct.
In an interview, Penzias was asked why there was so much resistance to the Big Bang theory. He said, "Most physicists would rather attempt to describe the universe in ways which require no explanation and since science can't *explain* anything - it can only *describe* things - that's perfectly sensible. If you have a universe, which has always been there, you don't explain it, right?
"Somebody asks you, 'How come all the secretaries in your company are women?' You can say, 'Well, it's always been that way.' That's a way of not having to explain it. So in the same way, theories, which don't require explanation, tend to be the ones accepted by science, which is perfectly acceptable
But on the older theory that the universe was eternal, he explains: "It turned out to be so ugly that people dismissed it. What we find - the simplest theory - is a creation out of nothing, the appearance out of nothing of the universe."
Penzias and his partner, Robert Wilson, won the Nobel Prize for their discovery of this radiation. The Big Bang theory is now one of the most thoroughly validated theories in all of science. Robert Wilson was asked by journalist Fred Heeren if there was an Intelligent Creator.
Wilson said, "Certainly there was something that set it all off. Certainly, if you are religious, I can't think of a better theory of the origin of the universe to match with Genesis."

Where did the Universe come from?
Part 3: Why the Big Bang was the most precisely planned
event in all of history
In your kitchen cabinet, you've probably got a spray
bottle with an adjustable nozzle. If you twist the nozzle
one way, it sprays a fine mist into the air. You twist
the nozzle the other way, it squirts a jet of water
in a straight line. You turn that nozzle to the exact
position you want so you can wash a mirror, clean up
a spill, or whatever.
If the universe had expanded a little faster, the
matter would have sprayed out into space like fine
mist from a water bottle - so fast that a gazillion
particles of dust would speed into infinity and never even
form a single star.
If the universe had expanded just a little slower, the
material would have dribbled out like big drops of water,
then collapsed back where it came from by the force
of gravity.
A little too fast, and you get a meaningless
spray of fine dust. A little too slow, and the whole
universe collapses back into one big black hole.
The surprising thing is just how narrow the difference
is. To strike the perfect balance between too fast and
too slow, the force, something that physicists call
"the Dark Energy Term" had to be accurate to one part in
ten with 120 zeros.
If you wrote this as a decimal, the number would
look like this:
0.000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000000
0000000000000000000000000000001
In their paper "Disturbing Implications of
a Cosmological Constant" two atheist scientists
from Stanford University stated that the existence of
this dark energy term "Would have required a miracle...
An external agent, external to space and time, intervened
in cosmic history for reasons of its own."
Just for comparison, the best human engineering
example is the Gravity Wave Telescope, which was built with
a precision of 23 zeros. The Designer, the 'external
agent' that caused our universe must possess an intellect,
knowledge, creativity and power trillions and trillions
of times greater than we humans have.
Absolutely amazing.
Now a person who doesn't believe in God has to find
some way to explain this. One of the more common explanations
seems to be "There was an infinite number of universes, so it
was inevitable that things would have turned out right
in at least one of them."
The "infinite universes" theory is truly an amazing theory.
Just think about it, if there is an infinite number of
universes, then absolutely everything is not only possible...
It's actually happened!
It means that somewhere, in some dimension, there is
a universe where the Chicago Cubs won the World Series last
year. There's a universe where Jimmy Hoffa doesn't get
cement shoes; instead he marries Joan Rivers and becomes
President of the United States. There's even a
universe where Elvis kicks his drug habit and still
resides at Graceland and sings at concerts. Imagine
the possiblities!
Peace and blessings!

Now, obviously we can’t “prove” that God exists or doesn’t exist, since He is outside of the physical realm. What we can do is look at the physical realm and see what the evidence points toward. It is more like proving a case in the courtroom by presenting and examining the evidence and then coming to a conclusion.
It certainly is reasonable to suggest that if there is a God, He would have made adequate evidence available for us to believe that He exists. And that’s what Romans 1:20 says: “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.”
Is it really clear? Can we give strong arguments for the existence of God? Can we give answers to the skeptics' challenges? Can we say as the Psalmist did, “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God’” (Psalm 14:1)? Absolutely! Just spend some time at:
http://www.answersingenesis.org
http://www.apologeticspress.org
Let me just give you a sample of the Teleological Argument. Is it logical to believe that chaos gave rise to order, nonliving to living, nonrational to rational, nonmoral to moral? I don't know about you, but simply looking at my newborn child was enough for me to rule out chance. The human brain makes that computer you are using look like a child's toy in comparison to complexity. If you were walking along a deserted Island and just so happen to come across a computer, the first thing you would think is, “Look what nature made,” right? Is it logical to believe that the brain designed the computer, but the brain is a product of time and chance?
I would strongly agree with Lord Kelvin (the Father of Thermodynamics), “Do not be afraid of being free thinkers! If you think strongly enough you will be forced by science to the belief in God, which is the foundation of all religion. You will find science not antagonistic but helpful to religion.”
Are we the ones with blind faith? Were you there when non-living matter gave rise to life? No, well do you see non-living matter giving rise to life today? Where you there when single-celled organisms gave rise to many-celled organisms, when invertebrates gave rise to vertebrates, when ape-like creatures gave rise to man? No, well do you see it happening today? You have to believe that matter came into existence by itself and then arranged itself into information systems by blind chance. That is what goes against real science.
As Dr. Jonathan Sarfati says, we need to quit calling evolution a theory; that is giving it too much credit. “Goo to you” evolution is an unsubstantiated hypothesis or conjecture, not a theory.
So why do so many people reject the obvious evidence, who look at the awesome creation and say it's a product of time and chance? It’s simple, they don’t want there to be a God. You see, if God created us, then He also owns us. If He owns us, then He has a right to set the rules by which we must live. If He has set the rules by which we must live, then we are accountable to Him. They don’t want to be accountable to God; they don't want to be controlled.
The problem you will find is that there will never be enough evidence for the skeptic. As it has been said, "A skeptic is a person who, when he sees the handwriting on the wall, claims it's a forgery."

A lot of people want physical evidence concerning a spirit God. There's a ton of circumstantial evidence, but people always want to know what else is there. In a court of law, documentary, forensic, eyewitness, archaeological and circumstantial evidence are all accepted and examined. Jesus spoke about God frequently. He was past the belief stage. He KNEW God existed. He spoke of Abraham, He spoke of Noah. He knew those people actually existed. The Lord appeared to Abraham and spoke to Noah. There are many who would try to discredit Jesus, but if you hold Him in high regard, that is very, very strong eyewitness and circumstantial evidence for the existence of God.

Yes!
If your eyes can behold the wonder of creation with open candor, you will see the marvelous hand of God at work everywhere; down to the smallest particle and up to the grandest display in the cosmos His handiwork is SHOUTING the awesome beauty and reality of Him.
And if you read the story of Jesus, you will see God displayed on a human level, revealing His love and power as he walked among us performing acts of love and the miraculous like no other man in history. Jesus IS God. H e said, "If you have seen me you have seen the Father."
Just ask God to prove Himself to you, He will!

The world itself and all in it proves Gods existance, the life forms, how the earth works, the "laws" of physics, how insects, animals, etc coexist and how they benefit the earth, honeybees and crops, etc. There are trillions of things on the earth that proves Gods existance, and to say all of them happen by chance is foolishness. If everything just happened by chance, then it should be EASY for scientists to create all kinds of new lifeforms etc, but they can't. They can't create seeds to invent new trees, plants, etc. They can't create new animals, etc. They can't create new insects. (they can only sometimes mutate/manipulate, but not make new from scratch)
