I believe in God because of the hard evidence he exists. In the order, beauty, complexity, and harmony of nature and the universe, man's superior intelligence and moral conscience. Did all these happen by chance as evolutionists say? Not a chance!

Albert Einstein wrote in his book "The World As I See It" that the harmony of natural law "Reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection."
He went on to write, "Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe--a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble."

A very significant statement, wouldn't you say?

But one of the best proofs God exists is no other than Jesus Christ, the Word of God who became flesh and the REVEALER of God. God the Father sent Jesus not only to redeem man. He was also sent so that we have no excuse for disbelieving. What human can …

Silence a typhoon?
Walk on water?
Multiply a few loaves of bread and fish in order to feed a multitude of 5,000?
Bring dead people back to life?
Give sight to people born blind?
Change water into wine?
Rise from the dead?

These miracles demonstrate Christ's power over life and death and the forces of nature. Only a person empowered by God can have such powers. And if these miracles were just made up, Christianity would not have grown rapidly in the first century. His disciples would not have risked their lives for a bunch of lies. That is simply not human nature.

One thing and one thing only can explain it: These men had encountered the real, solid, bodily-resurrected Jesus Christ. Not a hallucination. Not mass hypnosis. Not looking in the wrong tomb or any other silly excuse. The flesh and blood risen Christ was seen and touched by more than 500 people. (1 Corinthians 15,6). That's why the resurrection story could not be silenced.

May the Lord's peace be with you!

This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering that I have seen. It's an explanation other people will understand.
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving a God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.
The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber “You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.
"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is, people do not come to me."
"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist!
What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

There is no proof. However, there is also no proof that He DOESN'T exist.

Although, there is evidence that the universe, the Earth, and life itself was created. This evidence is in the fact that the universe is so EXACT that the mathematical odds are stacked against us even existing.

Try reading The Case for a Creator by Lee Strobel. It's only a cursory overview, but it has MANY references (from both sides) that a person can then look into.

There's proof that he doesn't exist. In the bible, the protagonist is a murderer and the antagonist gave Adam and Eve knowledge... Which the protagonist subsequently punished them for gaining.

Also, if we are so complicated that a God had to create us, then isn't the creation of a god that much more complicated?

The answers to this question should be very amusing.

OM TAT SAT - The difference is that the barber did not create the dirty hair and untrimmed beard. Your god created the pain and suffering!

1. Your conscience - Moral standards - feeling guilty
2. How coincidental everything in this world, and how it is suitable for humans i.e gravity, water, tilt of the earth
3. That evolution/big bang is a series of chances againts a series of chances - like someone blindfolded trying to solve 100 rubix cubes, possible?
4. Beauty in this world. how we all have awe at nature.

The only thing they have to offer is some dusty old book, which of course is no proof whatsoever.

Quran : 88:17 (The Overwhelming, The Pall)
....
17. Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?-

18. And at the Sky, how it is raised high?-

19. And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?-

20. And at the Earth, how it is spread out?

21. Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish.

22. Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs.

23. But if any turn away and reject Allah,-

24. Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment,

25. For to Us will be their return;

26. Then it will be for Us to call them to account.
