I see God every Spring when the earth turns green again. The greening grass, the greening leaves, The budding flowers, the return of the birds that sing,
I see God every Summer When the flowers are in full bloom,The children are playing, happy and giggling,The beach, the Sunshine, the smell of freshly mowed grass that is emitting sweet perfume.
I see God in the Autumn Color; The leaves are golden, red, & orange.
I see God in the Winter when the ice shines on the bare branches of the trees. I see God when the ground is covered in a beautiful white blanket of snow.
How can a person see these wonderful things and not see God?
"Father, thank you that you took the time to create all of this beauty, for us all to see. I thank you that I am never to busy or bitter to appreciate it.Amen."

Yes, but before telling where i have seen,
please answer can you show anything in this world which is created without using the material from the world or universe or whatever?.
so people belive that god has created, i dont see any blind belief here as there must be some source , they simply named him GOD.
to be more clear, the computer u r using, the network or yahoo all these things are created by some people, they did'nt
come from void.
being atheist doesnt mean , not having belief in god, it's all about realizing what GOD is and what's not.
I hope i answered your question :-)

Yes dear.
I have seen God - in so many people. Even in those illeterate people who have not even read the Qur'an. I have seen god in those people who have not preached or practised any religion.
Religions are creations of chauvinists, jealous, avaricious people who don't want to acknoledge other's likes and well being. They deny God to those who does not follow his religion or ideas.
Poor Punter has read Qur'an only. He has seen history from 6th century only. Prophets are born in all ages, in all places.
The age of the present human civilization dates back to more than a million years. Shape of the earth has undergone change many a times. At those times also there were civilizations, scientific knowledge, etc. Our present day science is not yet grown to realize the existence of God. Only ages old books and wisdom lead us to the knowledge that there is an omnipotent, omnipresent, omnicient power, that is experimenting with the live puppets what we call human being.
Read and acquire knowldege from history which many people think absurd. Don't deny your forefathers; like-wise pass on the acquired knowledge to your next generation. This is what the oldest civilizations tell us. Remember, books of the oldest religions are a treasure house of knowledge one should acquire, analyse and understand. Explore the truth from oldest of old books, whether it is from other religions, or other parts.
God is with any human being, provided he is humane. Don't forget, God decides the fate of a human being. However knowledeable or wealthy he is, his luck, life and end is pre-decided by God but ofcourse with an option to groom it either towards godliness or otherwise. Whether he deserves a decent death/dies in a 5 star hotel or in the most pathetic conditions, is also determined by the omnipotent.
So please find God in human beings itself, and also let God live in you.
Good luck.

PROVING THE EXISTENCE OF ALLAH (SWT)TO AN ATHEIST by Dr. Zakir Naik
CONGRATULATING AN ATHEIST
Normally, when I meet an atheist, the first thing I like to do is to congratulate him and say, " My special congratulations to you", because most of the people who believe in God are doing blind belief - he is a Christian, because his father is a Christian; he is a Hindu, because his father is a Hindu; the majority of the people in the world are blindly following the religion of their fathers. An atheist, on the other hand, even though he may belong to a religious family, uses his intellect to deny the existence of God; what ever concept or qualities of God he may have learnt in his religion may not seem to be logical to him.
My Muslim brothers may question me, "Zakir, why are you congratulating an atheist?" The reason that I am congratulating an atheist is because he agrees with the first part of the Shahada i.e. the Islamic Creed, ‘La ilaaha’ - meaning ‘there is no God’. So half my job is already done; now the only part left is ‘il lallah’ i.e. ‘BUT ALLAH’ which I shall do Insha Allah. With others (who are not atheists) I have to first remove from their minds the wrong concept of God they may have and then put the correct concept of one true God.
LOGICAL CONCEPT OF GOD
My first question to the atheist will be: "What is the definition of God?" For a person to say there is no God, he should know what is the meaning of God. If I hold a book and say that ‘this is a pen’, for the opposite person to say, ‘it is not a pen’, he should know what is the definition of a pen, even if he does not know nor is able to recognise or identify the object I am holding in my hand. For him to say this is not a pen, he should at least know what a pen means. Similarly for an atheist to say ‘there is no God’, he should at least know the concept of God. His concept of God would be derived from the surroundings in which he lives. The god that a large number of people worship has got human qualities - therefore he does not believe in such a god. Similarly a Muslim too does not and should not believe in such false gods.
If a non-Muslim believes that Islam is a merciless religion with something to do with terrorism; a religion which does not give rights to women; a religion which contradicts science; in his limited sense that non-Muslim is correct to reject such Islam. The problem is he has a wrong picture of Islam. Even I reject such a false picture of Islam, but at the same time, it becomes my duty as a Muslim to present the correct picture of Islam to that non-Muslim i.e. Islam is a merciful religion, it gives equal rights to the women, it is not incompatible with logic, reason and science; if I present the correct facts about Islam, that non-Muslim may Inshallah accept Islam.
Similarly the atheist rejects the false gods and the duty of every Muslim is to present the correct concept of God which he shall Insha Allah not refuse.
(You may refer to my article, ‘Concept of God in Islam’, for more details)
QUR’AN AND MODERN SCIENCE
The methods of proving the existence of God with usage of the material provided in the ‘Concept of God in Islam’ to an atheist may satisfy some but not all.
Many atheists demand a scientific proof for the existence of God. I agree that today is the age of science and technology. Let us use scientific knowledge to kill two birds with one stone, i.e. to prove the existence of God and simultaneously prove that the Qur’an is a revelation of God.
If a new object or a machine, which no one in the world has ever seen or heard of before, is shown to an atheist or any person and then a question is asked, " Who is the first person who will be able to provide details of the mechanism of this unknown object? After little bit of thinking, he will reply, ‘the creator of that object.’ Some may say ‘the producer’ while others may say ‘the manufacturer.’ What ever answer the person gives, keep it in your mind, the answer will always be either the creator, the producer, the manufacturer or some what of the same meaning, i.e. the person who has made it or created it. Don’t grapple with words, whatever answer he gives, the meaning will be same, therefore accept it.
SCIENTIFIC FACTS MENTIONED IN THE QUR’AN: for details on this subject please refer to my book, ‘THE QUR’AN AND MODERN SCIENCE – COMPATIBLE OR INCOMPATIBLE?
THEORY OF PROBABILITY
In mathematics there is a theory known as ‘Theory of Probability’. If you have two options, out of which one is right, and one is wrong, the chances that you will chose the right one is half, i.e. one out of the two will be correct. You have 50% chances of being correct. Similarly if you toss a coin the chances that your guess will be correct is 50% (1 out of 2) i.e. 1/2. If you toss a coin the second time, the chances that you will be correct in the second toss is again 50% i.e. half. But the chances that you will be correct in both the tosses is half multiplied by half (1/2 x 1/2) which is equal to 1/4 i.e. 50% of 50% which is equal to 25%. If you toss a coin the third time, chances that you will be correct all three times is (1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2) that is 1/8 or 50% of 50% of 50% that is 12½%.
A dice has got six sides. If you throw a dice and guess any number between 1 to 6, the chances that your guess will be correct is 1/6. If you throw the dice the second time, the chances that your guess will be correct in both the throws is (1/6 x 1/6) which is equal to 1/36. If you throw the dice the third time, the chances that all your three guesses are correct is (1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6) is equal to 1/216 that is less than 0.5 %.
Let us apply this theory of probability to the Qur’an, and assume that a person has guessed all the information that is mentioned in the Qur’an which was unknown at that time. Let us discuss the probability of all the guesses being simultaneously correct. At the time when the Qur’an was revealed, people thought the world was flat, there are several other options for the shape of the earth. It could be triangular, it could be quadrangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, octagonal, spherical, etc. Lets assume there are about 30 different options for the shape of the earth. The Qur’an rightly says it is spherical, if it was a guess the chances of the guess being correct is 1/30.
The light of the moon can be its own light or a reflected light. The Qur’an rightly says it is a reflected light. If it is a guess, the chances that it will be correct is 1/2 and the probability that both the guesses i.e the earth is spherical and the light of the moon is reflected light is 1/30 x 1/2 = 1/60.

ME! I have seen God through my parents, relatives and friends. I believe that God won't come to us in his real form. He guides and leads us through our loved ones. So I have seen God. And the true reason for anyones success is to be able to see God in others and to treat them with respect.

Actually yes. In the Old Testament, 70 elders of the Jews saw God;
Exodus 24:9-11
9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.
11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

Friend,
The answer depends upon your meaning of GOD.
If you say He is a person sitting some where in the sky like a Super Emperor and controlling all, I doubt no one has seen HIM.
If you say God is the Divine manifestation and attributes of God are Omnipotence .Omnipresence and Omniscience, then there were and are many who realised HIM.
