If, human beings didn't exist, then would God exist?

Question

Human beings believe in the existence of God. But, if there are no human beings, what would justify God's existence.

Don't say, the universe existed way before we existed. We say, this because we exist and we've researched about it. But, If, we weren't here, how would we have got to know about the things that surround us.

We exist, therefore, we justify the existence of eternal as well as earthly entities, don't we?

Yes, I know about the Holy Bible, the Bhagvad Gita, the Holy Koran, but we are saying this because we exist. Had there been no human beings, there would have been no prophets, hence no book on anything let alone religion, no reality.

Even I believe in God. But, I'm an inquisitive soul. Answering this question isn't going to harm anybody. I'm a scientist. Don't scientists question the world around them?
I know you'll say what you'll say because you've read it somewhere or someone has told you about it. But, can you prove what you say?

I have re-typed this question because I didn't get a clear answer even though there were 25 answers to my question.

How do you know God created us? You're saying it because you've read about it. Is there any proof?
There are stories: Adam and Eve for one. But, it doesn't justify anything.

Answer 1

Nice question.... Let me try not to get a headache answering it....

~ If, human beings didn't exist, then would God exist?


~~~ Yes, as a christian, i believe that God is omnipresent, meaning that he is always there. However, If Humans were not (created) then none of us would know about God, we learn after birth, not before.

------"But, If, we weren't here, how would we have got to know about the things that surround us"

~~~~~We wouldn't, besides, if we weren't "here" then our surroundings wouldn't be that of the Earth. ____If we weren't humans, would we be anything? Would we ever taste life, or even know what it was?______I also doubt that the universe would have been (created) if humans were to not be (created).

-----We exist, therefore, we justify the existence of eternal as well as earthly entities, don't we?

~~~~yes, depending our beliefs, and our spiritual bringing.


-------"I know you'll say what you'll say because you've read it somewhere or someone has told you about it. But, can you prove what you say"

~~~~~Your completely correct... We say what we say based off of what we've learned in our lives. Can we prove what we say? Simply put, no...... Christianity wouldn't exist without faith, the belief in something that cannot be seen.
______Truth changes depending on our beliefs, no one can prove the existence of ANY god or entity.

Answer 2

SURE.. he wouldn't be God if he only existed because we did. The Universe still would have had to come from something.. and Science isn't there to find alternate explanations...hehehehehhe. However, without humans, (or a human-like being) nothing in the Universe would know about God. So it would be AS IF he didn't exist, for all intents and purposes. The world would just be perfect, humming along, with no humans to mess it up.

Answer 3

This is the way I see it ;
Our Creator does not depend upon us for existence neither are we required to depend upon belief in God for existence. I believe in the intelligent design of this world/universe. I also believe that we were created and THEN were made human .We became human when God gave us knowledge if our Creator ( wording is strange here because I am making an attempt at political correctness)
There are just some things that will remain unexplained by science .
The aggravating truth is -to me - that we will never know everything !

Answer 4

This is a "if a tree falls in the forest with no one to hear it, does it still make a sound?" kind of question. In that case, sound waves would be produced by the event, but with no ears to receive them (given that no animal life is present) "sound" and "hearing" does not take place; i.e., "hearing" is an action that requires 2 things, sound & ears to receive it, for it to occur. Thus also in the question of "if humans didn't exist, would God exist?", the question of "does God exist?" is a human construct. "God" is conceptualized in many ways in many religions, but all of them are human conceptualizations in an attempt to know the unknowable. The belief in the "existence" of God is a leap of faith, and even believing, we are not absolutely sure what form it is that such a God would take. It is within this construct, the concept of "existence," that the answer lies. The concept of "existence" is a purely human construct created to make sense and order of a random natural world. Therefore, given the wording of the question, if humans didn't exist then God would not exist - but I would bracket the word exist with quotation marks, insofar as it is a limited concept.

Answer 5

Yes, God would still exist. He created us, not the other way around.

Of course if we weren't here, we humans couldn't prove the existence of God ourselves.

God existed before us. We had to come into being at some point. We weren't always around. God is the only person who has always existed. Even the angels were created by him to do his will. and bring glory to him. There is only one God.

Answer 6

IF we didn't exist, then not only God, but also everything else wouldn't exist either. This is a scientific view, not everyone can understand this, it's very hard on the ego, one needs a cold mind to make this calculation. Perception is one hell of a trick...

...the blind cannot see, but he who who sees with his eyes is blind, and he who hears with his ears is also deaf...Plato.

Good luck!

Answer 7

question mark = ?

Answer 8

God would still exist as a force, but not as the energy
form envisioned by the believer.

Answer 9

God is a concept created to explain things people don't understand yet, so god would not exist.

Answer 10

this question can only come from an inquisitive soul. think about the question you asked. you asked us to disprove our existence, therefore the existence of God. as many philosophical minds do.......you proved this yourself, read what you words. this is almost like a rhetorical question, but you posted on YA, so it must be answered...........
