Answer 2

First I would like to point out that your outlook is too narrow, where you have found christianity as a base.

I would like to state that all the religion is just a different path to the supreme being, only the method is different.

As for your proof can a human create an immense energy source the SUN, and others like the various planets. The rains, the foodgrains etc that we live on, and various plants and animals the rocks the mud the lava, crator etc which on their own make the cyclic moments, and others like creating natural disaster when the crime rate goes high.


Just check in history from ur sources that whenever there was a calamity the attrocities of human being was at its peak. natural disaster destroyed the human beings.

Psunami was never heard earlier.
the Gulf war and Americans and allies destroying civilians and others.
Does this two have a link just think ???? may be u can get an answer.

Like you said, the existence of God cannot be proven or disproved.That does not mean, however, that there is not evidence of God’s existence.“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world” (Psalm 19:1-4). Looking at the stars, understanding the vastness of the universe, observing the wonders of nature, seeing the beauty of a sunset – all of these things point to a Creator God. If these were not enough, there is also evidence of God in our own hearts. Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us, “…He has also set eternity in the hearts of men…” There is something deep down in our beings that recognizes that there is something beyond this life and someone beyond this world. We can deny this knowledge intellectually, but God’s presence in us and through us is still there. Despite all of this, the Bible warns us that some will still deny God’s existence, “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” (Psalm 14:1). Since over 98% of people throughout history, in all cultures, in all civilizations, on all continents believe in the existence of some kind of God – there must be something (or someone) causing this belief.

Answer 4

I am a christian, and I can't give you concrete proof of His existence. I'm sure someone will or already has told you to "read a bible". But that's not an adequate answer. I didn't give 2 cents about the bible until after I became a christian. All I can say is that its a spirit thing. God came knocking on my "spirit's door". How else can I explain that one day about 8 years ago that I, a devout satanist found myself on my knees crying uncontrollably and crying out to God with all I had in me. I'm probably not the best christian to answer this, though. I don't necessarily condemn other faiths. I'm also trying to figure out how to put into words the change that took place in me. I truly felt "reborn". I just know that I'm a different person, for the better. It also makes life a little easier to have hope for something more after this. The advice I would give you is to just open up. Do a little researching...explore different types of churches and whatnot. I think there's one God, but we worship and call Him by many names. And don't listen to your intellect for this answer. Our minds doubt the things we don't understand (and who of us can honestly say we understand God?). Your spirit is what hungers for Him.. ..and if you listen to your spirit, you'll have your answer. And that's a much better one than I or anyone else can give you. Happy hunting!

Answer 5

You just got to have faith. There is no harm in believing something that makes you into a better person, provides morals, makes you more caring and understanding of all.

What is the reality of science? Their are many scientific knowledge throughout the years, past, present and future that wasn't true. At one point science told that the world that the world was flat.

Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever seen one? Do you believe in stuff (that is scientific) that you haven't seen? Are you sure the evidence is reliable. Many innocent people have been false;y accused with evidence.

A few centuries ago when the notion of science was becoming popular worldwide people thought that no one would believe in religion. However the opposite is alive, religion has not died it is stronger than ever.

Everyone has there own beliefs and are entitled to them. Who are we to say what is right or wrong.

Answer 6

If you see a building, you know there must have been a builder. So you see this world, so you know there must have been a creator.

Think about it, how is it possible that ANYTHING exists? Not even NOTHING should exist, but we do exist. There must have been something to organize all of this. Besides, a conscience is not something you get through evolution.

Answer 7

Ok , how do you know that wind exists , or that electricity exists.?

Have you seen either ?

I for one am not going to deny the existence of electricity and put my fingers in a light socket......would you ?

You do not need to see something to know it exists.
In fact there are millions of things that we know exist but have never seen it with our own eyes.

But we know these things because of what they do and or have done.

Believing in God is just the same.

Seeing the marvels of creation and the beauty of the design of our own bodies proves that we have been created by a superior being.

If you would like to know more , feel free to email me.

Answer 8

EXISTENCE of God doesn't have to manifest literally. It is your FAITH. I do not argue to those non-believers but I know God exist... I Have been with so many problems that if I didn't pray or believe that God is there then I think I wouldn't have lasted and came out a better person. God is alive in my heart.

Answer 9

Nobody "knows" that god exists.

Christians "have faith" that he exists. They thus "believe" he exists.... and frequently get this muddled up with actually "knowing".

On the flipside... Athiests know no reason why god should exist, and thus generally determine that they "know" god doesn't exist. Not 100% accurate... but close enough I suppose.


Honestly though.... nobody really "knows" anything at all.

Answer 10

Christians do not have exclusive knowledge of God.
"God dwells within you as you".
Romans 1-19/21 explains the "faith". it really is not faith, it is knowing though not yet seen.
The evidence is in your own heart. That suttle prompting to know the truth.
That suttle awareness that you have Greatness within your self.
When you feel unconditional love, that is literally God you are experiencing.

Answer 11

...take some time (sometime) and read the Book of John; it's the 4th Gospel in the New Testament... read it from a translation other then the King James (as King Jimmy uses an ancient old English lexicon that tho it is very poetic, can become confusing with all the "thees and "thous")... try to remember that "John" was there... he was an eye-witness on a day to day basis... As well as Matthew, Mark, Luke, Paul, Peter and many many others... all eye-witnesses... (they report, you decide)....
