Do you believe that there is a God /Gods/Goddesses and why or why not?

Question

If you can please give me actual evidence or a miracle that happened to you. Not just "omg it says in the torah that God is real."

Answer 1

no one can give you evidence...it's all something their imagination came up with.

Answer 2

God and His Eternal Consort exist.

Why? This whole creation is a Miracle!!

*Complicated human emotions

* Intelligence

* Love

* Consciousness

* Life

These are miracles that couldnt possibly have come from nothing. It is an insult to the human intelligence to come to the conclusion that this all comes from mindless, intelligentless, unconscious, unloving, void!!

The fact that
*the ocean is staying in Its bounderies
*the planets are floating nicely in space
*the Sun is just the right distance for life to exist

There is the PRECISION of a higer intelligence maitaining every molecule and every atom in time and space!!

Is this not miraculous? Are we so blind? Somebody put a lot of thought into this creation!! The all powerful God/Divine Being!
He is too amazing for our tiny imperfect brains to understand!

I have so many miracles happened in my life but compaired to stars in the sky, they are so small and insignificant!

Answer 3

I believe there is a God. However I can not say I have actual evidence but I can say that God has definitely helped me when I was troubled and cared and got me through tons of hard times.

Answer 4

I believe in multiple Gods and Goddesses. I don't have any real proof, outside of just a feeling, and I'm okay with that, I see evidence in the natural world, but others don't. I'm pretty fine with my illogical beliefs, I don't think they made the universe, instead that the universe breathed life into them.

Answer 5

I look at Diety as energy. I do believe there is some sort of guiding force to the world. I believe that what we do comes back to u s. Mainly I look at the Divine like a multifaceted gem. A big round one, with lots of facets. Each facet is just a different way of looking at the same thing.
For me, belief is about the search for Truth, and it can be found in many places. There is some truth to be found in many religious teachings, and in Nature, and philosphies. I tend to take what feels relevant and leave the rest.

Answer 6

i lost a bet in 2001 with myself. I told god if you're there this is what you do...i dont want no stinking signs i want this surefire thing & if it happens i'll be spiritual, but not religious & acknowledge you every 1st of the month. Ok i said i havent seen this girl i knew since 95...make it possible for me to talk to her & you win...one week later i got an email from the classmates.com site and there she was...i sent her an email and a few days later she responded....she had a boyfriend, but that wasnt in the deal

Answer 7

I choose to believe that there is a higher power because I don't think that everything just happens. There's not much more to explain. It's merely a choice. I don't have evidence.
Belief isn't about evidence. If it was it would be science. You couldn't call it faith if there wasn't the possiblity of being wrong.

Answer 8

How about it says so in "Why God Won't Go Away" by Andrew Newberg, M.D., Eugene D'Aquili, M.D., and Vince Rause? :-)

As a heathen, who grew up fundyroller and has been involved over the years before "coming home to the Folkway" with Buddhism, the occult, and various charismatic/xian mysticism sects, I find their work fascinating.

They used high-tech imaging devices to peer into the brains of meditating *Buddhists* AND *Franciscan nuns.* "As the data and brain photographs flowed in," according to an Amazon.com review, "the researchers began to find solid evidence that the mystical experiences of the subjects "were not the result of some fabrication, or simple wishful thinking, but were associated instead with a series of observable neurological events" explains Newberg. "In other words, mystical experience is biologically, observably, and scientifically real.""

Now, since I'm what's called a "hard polytheist"---I believe all godh/esses are real, and intimately associated with the descendants of the cultures who originally honored them---I tend to think this is a link *most* of us share to the Divine as we see it, and that perhaps hardcore atheists who dismiss ALL spiritual experience as "fake" or "wishful thinking" simply lack (genetic mutation/drift?) the brain function of which people like ME live in daily awareness . . . and usage.

Now, I could, if I knew you better, tell you this or that about various trance states, visions, answered "prayers," interactions with what I presume to be the Norse godh Freyr (and years ago, with the xian one) and ALL of it would consist of internal experiences and a subjective interpretation of events . . . but when I point to brain research, I think people have to ask themselves ONE question:

"Are the god/desses there *to us* because of the brain function, or is the brain function there because of our evolutionary history of interaction with god/desses?"

Obviously, I choose the latter, both because of my pre-extant belief and life experiences AND because I can't think of a single evolutionary reason for those functions to have evolved without *something* out there to experience through them.

Answer 9

Mankind's first surrender to temptation began with doubting God's instruction. The woman Eve apparently felt inclined to defend God's instruction. In her response to the serpent she included a citation of God's command. The text does not tell us how she or the snake came to know God's command. Adam may have passed on this info that he initially received prior to woman's creation. She may thus represent all who receive the Word of God through "human" instrumentality but who are nevertheless called to believe. You haven't been called to believe as yet.

Answer 10

Miracles and evidence of a creator is seen all around us. Please just take a look at one small example, it blew me away. Diatoms, one-celled orgaisms, take silicon and oxygen from seawater and make glass, with which the construct tiny "pillboxes" to contain their green chlorophyll. They are extolled by one scientist for both their importance and their beauty: "These green leaves enclosed in jewel boxes are pastures for nine tenths of the food of everything that lives in the seas." A large part of their food value is in the oil that diatoms make, which also helps them bob buoyantly near the surface where their chlorophyll can bask in sunlight. Their beautiful glass-box coverings, this same scientist tells us, come in a "Bewildering variety of shapes-circles, squares, shields, triangles, ovals,rectangles-always exquisitely ornamented with geometric etchings. These are filigreed in pure glass with such fine skill that a human hair would have to be sliced lenghwise into four hundred slices to fit between the marks." Obviously design, purpose, wisdom and intelligence was behind this in creation...what about humans? For more information about God's purpose for us please email me.

Answer 11

I beleive in God, because if the big Bang caused the Creation of the Universe, then what caused the Big Bang? Science says energy cannot be created or destroyed, so what is to say that is has always been there in the form of God and his laws (gravity etc.)
