If God is real... why doesn't He prove it?

Question

I am just curious don't mean it to be rude... I would enjoy answers from everyone...

Oy... and atheists... you don't need to say He isn't real... I already know that...

Um... you guys aren't answering the question... why doesn't He prove it... is he too good for us?

Answer 1

Because he can't prove it, even if he does exist (which he doesn't).

Answer 2

New Scientist magazine said: “The lay view persists—of scientists having ‘disproved’ religion. It is a view that commonly expects scientists to be nonbelievers; that Darwin put the last nails in God’s coffin; and that a succession of scientific and technological innovations since have ruled out the possibility of any resurrection. It is a view that is wildly wrong.”—May 26, 1977, p. 478.

A member of the French Academy of Sciences stated: “Natural order was not invented by the human mind or set up by certain perceptive powers. . . . The existence of order presupposes the existence of organizing intelligence. Such intelligence can be none other than God’s.”—Dieu existe? Oui (Paris, 1979), Christian Chabanis, quoting Pierre-Paul Grassé, p. 94.

Scientists have identified over 100 chemical elements. Their atomic structure displays an intricate mathematical interrelationship of the elements. The periodic table points to obvious design. Such amazing design could not possibly be accidental, a product of chance.

Illustration: When we see a camera, a radio, or a computer, we readily acknowledge that it must have been produced by an intelligent designer. Would it be reasonable, then, to say that far more complex things—the eye, the ear, and the human brain—did not originate with an intelligent Designer?

Answer 3

I've studied it and the archaeology, history etc. I have also felt him in my life after accepting him and seen the changes in others lives. Belief does not make life easy but it does make it different.
“God loves us the way we are, but too much to leave us that way” Leighton Ford

I am not what I ought to be;
I am not what I would like to be;
I am not what I hope to be.
But I am not what I once was,
and by the grace of God, I am what I am.
John Newton

Here are a few other quotes.

"There is no incompatibility between science and religion... Science shows that God exists." - Prof. D. Barton, Nobel Prize Chemistry

"If I had no other data than the early chapters of Genesis, some of the Psalms and other passages of Scripture, I would have arrived at essentially the same picture of the origin of the universe, as is indicated by the scientific data." Nobel Prize-winning physicist Arno Penzias (Big Bang Theorist)

"The principle of [divine] purpose ... stares the biologist in the face wherever he looks ... . The probability for such an event as the origin of DNA molecules to have occurred by sheer chance is just too small to be seriously considered ... ."Ernst Boris Chain - Nobel Prize in medicine

Even Professor Antony Flew the former atheist (30+ years of speaking as an atheist) that had debated men such as C.S. Lewis recently said that the latest biological research "has shown, by the almost unbelievable complexity of the arrangements which are needed to produce (life), that intelligence must have been involved."

Try reading Lee Stroebel's Case for Christ and Case for faith or C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity. Both these were men and looked at the evidence and dedicated their lives to God and followed Jesus. If you want to look at web sources then www.reasons.org and www.rzim.org might have what you are looking for.

Answer 4

Sometimes atheist assert that there is no proof that God exists. The only problem is that an atheist cannot logically make that claim.


In order to state that there is no proof for God's existence, the atheist would have to know all alleged proofs that exist in order to then state that there is no proof for God's existence. But, since he cannot know all things, he cannot logically state there is no proof for God's existence.


At best, an atheist can only state that of all the alleged proofs he has seen thus far, none have worked. He could even say that he believes there are no proofs for God's existence. But then, this means that there is the possibility that there is a proof or proofs out there and that he simply has not yet encountered one.


Nevertheless, if there was a proof that truly did prove God's existence, would the atheist be able to accept it given that his presuppositions are in opposition to the existence of God? In other words, given that the atheist has a presuppositional base that there is no God, in order for him to accept a proof for God's existence, he would have to change his presuppositional base. This is not easy to do and would involve a major paradigm shift in the belief structure of the atheist. Therefore, an atheist is presuppositionally hostile to any proofs for God's existence and is less likely to be objective about such attempted proofs.

Answer 5

God has proven it. Look around you. Everything you see is created by God and everything that you cannot see also.

God says the heavens declare His glory. God says the earth is His and everything in it.

God says He calls all the stars by name. God says he knows the number of hairs on your head.

God said you are fearfully and wonderfully made.

God said He knew you before He formed you in your mother's womb.

You decide. It takes more faith to believe in chance creation than it does to believe that God created it all just like His Word tells us that He created it all.

God says that man has no excuse not to believe in Him.

God tells us that He is Spirit and a consuming fire. Great, great energy. God said, "I am God and there is no other."

Isaiah 46:9 and 10
"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me.
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure."

Answer 6

Some people reject God because they can find no evidence for Him which satisfies both their hearts and minds simultaneously. Then there are others who accept God on the basis of emotional or irrational reasons which satisfy their hearts, but leave their minds unsure. These two groups of people have never found a satisfying answer to the question of their relationship with God. Then there are yet others who have found the correct path which God intended for us: to accept Him and His message to us using our minds first and foremost, and the heart follows easily and naturally as a consequence.

Instead of searching for the answer, there are also some people who chose to simply brush the question aside and ignore it unfortunately. This is the easy way out of what appears to be a very difficult, mysterious question which may seem to have no final solution. Most of these people are unaware of a very powerful message which completely and unequivocally establishes the correct path to God. This message squares with both the mind and the heart, and it has no equal since it comes to us straight from God Himself.

The message comes in the form of a book. In fact, God has given us several Books of guidance through the years, but each one was ultimately corrupted and changed by dishonest people. Each Book essentially contained the same fundamental message as the previous Books. Mankind was expected to guard these Books from harm, but unfortunately failed to live up to this expectation. Slowly but surely, each Book was edited and tampered with, destroying its authenticity. This is partly why God kept sending us more revelations.

However, almost 1400 years ago, God sent us another Book with the same basic message as the earlier ones, but with a small but very important difference. This time, God decreed that this Book would be the last Book sent down to us because God would protect it Himself. Regarding this Final Book, God said,


"Behold, it is We Ourselves who have bestowed from on high this reminder: and behold, it is We who shall truly guard it" [Chapter 15, verse 9]

Today, if we compare the 114 chapters in every copy of this Final Book with each other, we will find they match perfectly word for word - from the oldest copies made 1300-plus years ago to the ones printed just a few hours ago. No human hand has changed it.

The rational person has every right to be doubtful, of course, if he or she has never read this book. For such people, here is a small sample of what the Final Book contains. Suppose we wanted to ask God several questions about Him and about ourselves. Short of Him speaking to us directly (such a privilege has been granted to only one person out of all humanity), the Book has the best answers one can find. It is on the strength of these answers that an honest person may be struck with the conviction that the Final Book is from none other than God Almighty. Again, here is only a small part of the information one might find

Answer 7

Centuries before the time of Christ the nations annually celebrated the death and resurrection of Osiris, Tammuz, Attis, Mithra, and other gods, so don't give me that JESUS did it crap.

God was content on proving existence in the Old Testament but in the New Testament he contently has a change of heart and doesn't any longer. Weird for an omnipotent being to have a change of heart.

Answer 8

I believe and yes as I'm sure others have said he has proven it to me over and over again but for you sorry you must first and above all believe if that's not passable for you don't worry some are kept in slumber not knowing him till the last day with the lord the millennium you see if you know the lord and then chose to step away and not repent then you get a one way ticket to hell (death) but if you are ignorant of the truth you are not guilty of your choices and you will get your chance to chose at the end of the millennium

Answer 9

I personally think the Gods prove it every day. But that's a perspective thing. It depends on what you consider proof. I don't think the Gods have a true human form, they are in everything around us. Therefore They are here, everywhere. That is proof for me.
But of course my husband thinks I am funny so at least it gives him (atheist) entertainment if nothing else. LOL

Answer 10

Yes, God is too good for us. But He loves us so much that he doesn't let that stop Him. Romans 1:18 and 19 says:

"Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"

The proof of God is all around us in creation, all we have to do is open our eyes.

Answer 11

I think the obvious answer is He doesn't need to show Himself you just need faith. The other answers would be like, if He were to show himself we'd be less content to stay as is because we know are safe, and the groups that don't believe in Him would cause either war or a mass suicide. Would that sit well on your shoulders? He's had many kill in his name before, but this time it'd likely be on a much larger scale.
