Well, Lauren, I would love to get your money, but unfortunately, I cannot empirically prove god's existence. Neither can anyone else.
If you are willing to accept false premises, ad hoc arguments, misinterpretations of anecdotal evidence, well, HELL YES! There is lots of "proof."
If you would like to know a fine source of information on how this popular mythology got its stranglehold on reason, please search Google videos for the movie "Zeitgeist."
The first of its three parts deals exclusively with religions and specifically about christian mythology. I am certain that every intelligent person on the planet will want to see this, and every Christian NEEDS to see it.
Watch "Zeitgeist" and tell others.
(Please. As soon as possible.)

Life didn't come about by chance, that's fairly obvious. It seems though that a scientist will not be taken seriously if he attributes the appearance of all things to an intelligent creator. Evolution is taught as fact in schools while the gaping holes in the theory are glossed over. So, any atheist who accuses Christians of being brainwashed may want to look at what their own belief system hangs on.
I appreciate that, while many scientists accept that there must have been a creator due to the design they see in the Universe and nature, this does not prove that a God exists and that he cares for humankind.
This is were we must turn to the Bible. It says that it is inspired of God (2 Timothy 3:16). A skeptic may argue that the Bible could just be saying that, and that could be correct. However, it still deserves a fair hearing.
When you read the Bible, which was written over a period of 1,500 years by 40 different men from different backgrounds, different areas and lived at different times, you see clear evidence of inspiration.
You ask for proof that God exists. This will not be proved on a message board so, don't worry, you can keep the million. If you really want to know if God exists or not, you are going to have to study the Bible. This may takes months or even years.

Religion is not science and science is not religion. There are two different things that have different purposes. Science is a methodology that a person can use to achieve some understanding on how the world works. Religion is there to fulfill a human need. We humans have many needs. Some we aknowledge and some we denied. Some examples are the need to eat, the need to sleep, the need for air. These are easy to see. There are others that are not so easy to see but are just as important. Examples are the need for company, the need for love, need for structure, need to be lead and ofcourse spiritual needs. The degree as to how much you need of something varies per individual. On your part you seem not to need too much spirituality. Other people have a high need of a belief system.
Pushing the religious issue is not an U.S. thing only. It happens world wide. Some people have a strong belief and they think that their belief is so great that they want to share with everyone. Sometimes this sharing turns into forcefullness. However, the U.S. has one special rule. This is the separation of church and state. This is a good ting because this rule allows everybody to practice or not practice their religious belief. So, you don't have to follow Christianity or other religion if you don't want. However, in order to have that right you must allow others the right to practice. fair is fair.
Have you sen the matrix movie. If you haven't then pay attention to the story of one of the minor characters. You see the thing about the matrix is that humans live in a fake computer generated world which is controlled by robots. Some people have woken up from this eternal dream and therefore have been able to see how the world is really like. In the movie is a war devastated post apocalyptic world. Well, this one character got tire of living in the real world so, he betrayed his friends so that he could go back into the matrix. You see, religion is kind of like that. The thing with God is that is unprovable but, god science tells you that just because you can't prove it it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. In the end does it really matter? As long as your belief system makes you happy and does not hurt others then what harm is there is believing?

No one can prove to you that God exists. You have to figure it out for yourself. The connection to our creator is a very personal and unique journey. I'm curious about why you don't believe in God. It sounds like you reject the notion of the judgemental, heaven and hell, sin and redemption, turn or burn, Christian God, that's O.K., but who said (besides the Christians) that is what god is? Do some research, there are many forms of thought, there are many other concepts of God that are not based in fear, control, judgement and self righteousness. You can connect to God anyway that you want, what is true to you, what you believe. RELIGION IS NOT GOD. Religion is the way that people express their faith and belief in God. The is no RIGHT WAY. The path for everyone is different and personal. Please don't let any religion tell you that if you don't believe their way then you cant believe in GOD. GOD does not belong to religion. Look past what you have always been taught about what God is, what western religion tells you, open your mind, find your own way to your connection to your source.

existence did not take place via risk, it is somewhat obvious. it variety of feels nevertheless that a scientist is probable not taken heavily if he attributes the seems of all issues to an sensible author. Evolution is taught as actuality in colleges on an identical time the gaping holes interior the concept are glossed over. So, any atheist who accuses Christians of being brainwashed might desire to envision what their very own concept technique hangs on. I admire that, whilst many scientists settle for that there could were a author as a results of the layout they see interior the Universe and nature, this does not tutor that a God exists and that he cares for humankind. it is were we could tutor to the Bible. It says that that's motivated of God (2 Timothy 3:sixteen).

Take a look around you. Do you think a man made this earth and everything in it? The sky, oceans, air, humans, the animals and all their glory, plants, flowers, etc. the moon, and the sun? The breath you are taking at this very second. Give God back his breath and blood flowing through you and see if you can survive on your own. "One nation under God" girl, if this nation depended on the men that ran it, we wouldn't have a nation. Trust God got it all. Don't let anyone force anything on you, take your time and test God for yourself. Ask him to revel himself to you. Take notice of how everything on this planet and beyond has a systemic way of existing. from the biggest to the smallest of all things, there is order. Man could not even begin to understand.

You have to witness it. The power of God I mean. One time, I was coming home from camp, and one of the air conditioners on one of the buses broke. People were vomiting, and dazing out because of the heat. So, we stopped for 5 extra hours. When we were almost back, a women drove into a ditch with water. If we weren't late, she would've drowned. Coincidense? I don't think so. And, as far as someone proving He exists, you can't. The best I can do for you is to tell you to read the Bible and try to figure it out. I hope I see you in heaven.

I can't prove that God exists/does not exist and I can't prove that there was/was not a Jesus. What I can prove, you should try this the next time that you ask a religious question. Is that high winds are caused by Christians flicking through their bibles when they are desperate for an answer and all they can go on is text from god knows how long ago.

Miracles (blessings) are happening all of the time! God is in the sky, the earth, the seas, everywhere. We are blessed with each day as God gives us yet another one to live. God isn't tangable like a human, but Jesus came as a representative of God, as did Buddha, Alla, & all the other Spiritual leaders throughout the ages. You are here because God created you, created your parents. You are not far enough on your Spiritual path to realize the Truth, but that is where you need to be at this point in this lifetime. We are all expressions of God, even those of you who don't believe. When your heart is ready to accept God as Truth, then you will see (not just with your eyes & ears) what God does for you. God is patient, & It is ready to be in your life even more when you are ready to ask. You see & hear God everyday, but you don't want to accept that it is of God. God bless you on your journey through this lifetime! Thy kingdom come! Amen.

No one can prove to you that G/god(s) exist. You'll be ahead of the game if you can get over that now.
You don't have to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Frazier v. Alexandre (2006) established that forcing anyone to recite the Pledge is an example of compelled political speech, and violates both the first and fourteenth amendments to the constitution.
