Answer 1

I have quoted this incidence in one of the earlier questions and I think it is appropriated here too. It goes like this:
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem
Science has with God, The Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand and.....
Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm? (Student is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God.. .
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil? (Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold.Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre .)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing
light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't.
If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, ofcourse, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going Endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here, who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable. )
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH.
That is all that keeps things moving & alive..................

Answer 2

We are proof enough that there is a higher being out there in space and time.We are living creatures breathing air, the mountains, trees, micro organisms. Now who could possibly make that. The Ark, Noah's Ark, Jesus Tomb, and if look in the paranormal facts there's no doubt there is a higher being. The only reason why you might feel this is every body in this world might have there own points and theory's of God. But only fight to prove which ones right. My theory is that EVERYBODY a long time ago seen something that natural and dubbed it as acts of God or believed it to be Gods.Some people really did have human to god experiences but many just wanted to right in foolishness declare the trees as god because the wind moved them. I wonder sometimes if the people really even knew if it was one god and believed it to be many because they had info. (Anyhow) I believe that everybody around the world talks the same god, but don't even know it.

The concept of god has occured to man even some millions of yeas ago, if we were to judge it from he muythology and the vedas of the Hindus .The Ramayan is reported to have hapopend during he Dretha Yuga , which spaned some 10, 80000 years followed by the Thuvapara Yuga of Mahabharadha . This yuga is also of he sme number of years .Now we are in Kali Yuga 5108 the yea o Kali yuga is running now ( vide Almanac ).The cocepot of god seem to have occured in greece some 400 years BC .The re seems to hav been some such concept o god in Egypt also .so almos inallpats of the eath, the concepot of god had come into being on account of the inability of man to control the forces of natue like rain,lightning , thunder , hurricane tsunami, flood,vuconic activityu ,erth quack etc ,Man had thouguht that ehse occur becuse of gods .In fact eh greeks at one tie believed that the Gods were urinati gthrough a sieve o cause raqin oin the earth.
But the Hindu philosophy os that the forces of nature are the natue of God and that god is not just a human like being and he is existing in all beings and all beings exist in him.God is Cosmos , he iswa roopa , he shgape of he cosmos and all the universes in it .This is what Krishna shows o Arjuna as the totality of God when the later requested him to show the form of god .Evey eing and every thing forms pat of gpod .It is just like thepixels in the pictue of something . it is all thepixels that make the picture and no single pixle isimportnt . The whole shape is created by all the pixels and not buy any single pixel.So is God .the whole cosmos and all that is in it make God .that is why Hindus belive in the omnipresence of god and see God in everything.
There i sno inanimate thing in this world .all animae thngs are made of the so-called inanimate things .all things are made of elements ,by a combinationof he elements in various proportions .Nothing else . The so-called inanimate things make all thanimate things .If you see an atom o any element under an electron micriscope, you can see the elctron runnig around the proton in it .
the same electronmakes eery other atom too by an increase inits number.\so allthings in this universe ar emnade of the the same buildoing blocks .Who gies th epower to the electon to runaroud the proton with spped almost w=eaual o tha of light?
If he lectronstops runnig around he protoon, what will gappen ? The entire universe would cease to exist . So see god in yu , ineerything around you .You exis in?god and god exists in you .where else do you want to see god ?

Answer 4

Jesus Christ is God incarnate. This is a tangible proof that God exists. He dwelt in a human being named Jesus Christ. Several of His disciples wrote about Him. Even a ferocious persecutor of the followers of Jesus by the name of Saul of Tarsus (Saint Paul) became a champion, an advocate of Jesus.

Other gods may be myth but Jesus is not a myth. He really existed. Believers of Jesus multiplied and went to various places to spread the gospel. About three centuries after His crucifixion and death, the Roman Empire made Christianity the state religion.

Answer 5

God exists in another sphere than human beings, therefore you can't prove his existence with science facts. Still science facts, in my opinion, point to the existence of a creator God. If you look at the fine balance in nature and the universe, the wonderful way your own body functions, you can't help but thinking about his existence.

For people who take that step and start believing, he becomes very real. God reveals himself to his children, and once this has happened, you don't doubt his existence any longer.

Answer 6

Is there any point to you, seriously? Is life to you about waking up, going to work for hours and the meaningless things that can preoccupy a day? Is life to you about living a short existence then to only become dust in the ground? What hope is there outside of Jesus Christ??? There is NONE! Where is the proof that the wind exist? I certainly don't see it and neither do you. But it does exist because we can feel it and wait we " learned " it. Shock! we learned about it. Well I know that I know that I know that the Lord Jesus is very very real! I may not see Him visibly. But like the wind I feel Him in the arena of my life. And as I draw near to Him daily, study His Word and adore Him to others I am constantly learning and relearning just how awesome He is. The point to God is His immeasureable love for you and me. That's why He came. Now the point to you and me is to take this time while on earth to determine what/who we want. To either grow or wilt in our purpose . Do you want your soul to die or to live? These are the only two choices.

Answer 7

Initially, religion was created as a means of explaining the world, and maintaining order in society. Over time, belief in God is the only way for some people to survive in this harsh planet. It provides them with a sense of security, and an easy way out or answers as to why certain things happen (e.g "God is testing you", "God's will has a purpose"). It gives them the confidence to live life.

Answer 8

god/gods exist but I do not have any proof for them..

God exists and your presence is proof of his creation..

(Romans 1:20-21)
"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened."

Answer 9

Good thinking. but open your eyes and look around at all existence, god , but not the super natural being in outer space that people think of as god.

Answer 10

I am the proof. You have to consider what I say because I am a man just like you and I tell you that God is real because I am real and you are me and I am you and we are him.
