Is there any proof that god exists?

Answer 1

There's not one scintella of evidence of the existence of some supernatural, sentient, omnipotent and omnipresent being. Evidence that is presented usually reminds me of the movie “The Gods Must Be Crazy,” a native in the Kalahari Desert encounters technology for the first time--in the shape of a Coke bottle. I found this to be very amusing, but I also began to see parallels between his thought process, and that of the modern day Theist. Both are using CAVEMAN LOGIC to explain their world. I fail to see the difference between “hmm, bottle fall from sky, must be gods” and “hmm, trees, beautiful sunsets, the complex organism of the eye ball and butterflies prove the existence of god.”

In both of these cases, someone is simply replacing one unknown for another unknown, but proving nothing!

Not only can God not be proven, but I will also go so far as to say that God can be disproved. It is impossible for something to be all knowing and all good. If you are aware that something bad is going to happen, and you allow it to happen anyway, then you cannot be all good. If God created everything, then he also created evil. It is also impossible to be all-powerful; can God create a rock that even he himself cannot move?

I would have thought that as man became more knowledgeable and logical that he would have pushed aside his caveman beliefs, but it seems to be just the opposite.

Answer 2

Demonstrations of the existence of God are for the most part rational inferences by which one makes a prudential judgement about how the resolve the question of whether or not one believes that God exists-- empirical proof is not often offered, as most philosophers and theologians would hold that God's nature and existence are spiritual realities, rather material substances. However, rational inferences for the existence of God will often appeal to material evidence as a basis for belief. For example, Aquinas appeals to the apparent order of the cosmos as an indication of God's existence. However, God's existence is not always established for believers on the basis of either rational inference or "proofs" but on the basis of a Revelation which is believed to be true.

Answer 3

Yes and No. God itself is the creation of mind. It is an "X" factor, we call God or other names according to the belief. If you ask for proof, you and I are the proof. Without such a power nothing would have been created or survived. Look at the sprawling cosmos covered by Stars. Or the power of Life force in living beings. Where from or who created this. These are the proof, but we cannot identify this enormous Power the Hindus call "Shakti" just by words, due to inadequacy of words.

Answer 4

ahh, you have asked the million dollar question that trillions of people have been asking for centuries. It all depends on your definition of proof.

To some, Earth is proof enough. It is the perfect conditions to support human life. If it were to be thrown of its orbit a foot, we would either go crashing in, or slingshot away from the sun. My physics teacher in high school was a firm believer that physics was proof.

Others would say that there is absolutely no proof and to say so is just buying further into the greatest lie in humanity.

And yet others say there is just no complete proof to believe one way or the other.

I'm sad to say that this is not something that can be answered on Yahoo! answers.

Answer 5

Nope, none at all.

At least not in the scientific sense. To those whose faith in God is very strong, they believe they see proof everyday. However they aren't concerned with things like logic and reason, so it's easy for them to look at a flower and say "oh God must have created this."

If there were definitive proof of the existence (or lack thereof) of God, it would certainly end many ongoing arguments. So, unless he or she is willing to demonstrate his or her existence, we'll have to keep on the way we've been for thousands of years - arguing whether there is a God, or gods, and if so, which one is the real one.

To me, the fact that you have several major religions and billions of observers of them, and they each have their own God, which is inconsistent with the other religions' gods, then it's inconceivable that any of them are correct.

A great philosopher once asked "is man God's biggest mistake, or is God man's?"

Answer 6

Good to remember in all such discussions is that empirical proof is established by consistently disproving something. Consequently, nothing can be proved directly. Keeping that in mind, a simple and provocative proof for a Creator is that material/physical existence is preceded by a cause. Such a concept has profound implications.

Answer 7

I am no scientist but :-
a) Our earth, a gigantic mass has been orbiting around the sun with great accuracy missing only milliseconds in so many years, defying the law of friction (slowing down)
b) If there is only a big bang, then there will be only one specie of living creature on planet earth and not so many species of animals, flora and fauna all properly put in place.
c) The sun is a big ball of fire which has not gone out of fuel. With such intense heat, it would have exploded like a fuel tanker, at one go and not burn for millions and millions of years without any replenishment of fuel.
d) Even super computers need to be fed with input to generate extraordinary data/ solution.

So someone out there called GOD is the wonder worker.

Answer 8

God doesn't exist as "proof." That's what I love most about Him.

Answer 9

None.

Unfortunately Yahoo!Answers does't provide an apporpriate forum to discuss at length the difficulty for those who conclude that their must be one.

Answer 10

Think about the bad ,you'll remember the good ,that's life ,have you ever heard for every tear their a smile .
