When non-Christians use logic, physical evidence, and scientific evidence in an attempt to disprove Christianity, Christians often resort to the faith defense, which is that if one has faith in God, they know he is real. When Christians attempt to prove that their God is real, they cite subjective situations, such as miracles performed by God, God’s guidance with decision making, and strength given by God to make it through difficult times. All of this proof given by Christians is subjective and can be interpreted differently by different people. What some Christians call a medical miracle, someone else might call coincidence or medically explainable. What some Christians might call guidance received from God, others might call use of consciousness, intelligence, or morality. What some Christians might attribute to strength given by God, others might say comes from moral support from friends and family, individual perseverance, or mental toughness. Much of the evidence used by non-Christians to disprove the Christian God is objective, undisputed fact and/or basic use of logic. Do Christians have any evidence that is not subjective? By the way, the Bible is an object, but its’ authenticity is questionable and its’ meanings are heavily disputed, even amongst Christians.

There is no objective evidence in support of the existence of God.

The bible isn't even relevant to this subject.The bible is a book put together by men who decided what they wanted included and the writings are from other peoples interpretations of what they saw and heard.How accurate can others sight be? We can all see the same event and interpret it differently.Christianity is a religion that follows the teachings of the Christ.Nothing wrong with following in his footsteps ,but God is an all together entity.To be real,I don't understand why people don't think that we came from a creator.We as people are really magnificent in our creation and only a superior being could have done such a great thing.Iknow you have seen babies change in utero,how they go through the species during their growth and look like many different species until they become man.How a woman and only a woman can conceive a child.How we as humans can't crossbreed with animals sexually creating a half human and half animal.Only a wise and knowing God could have done such a thing with clear forsight for surely some one would have had such a child by now,had not the Creator thought ahead.Besides the little fact of a huge sun that knows it's course and never veers off that course and seasons that come and go when prompted by God.Every thing on earth is made to accomodate man.every animal is placed here to benefit man or protect man's enviroment which we go and destroy.

The whole of Creation speaks to a "Creator"---if you see a painting, you know someone painted it, if you see a building, you know someone built it. We have basically two choices in the matter of creation---either some omnipotent being created everything or the world, people, animals, plants, laws of nature and the universe came into being by itself through chance and time. Either one is a belief system since no one was around to witness it (except, Adam and Eve who witnessed the second minor creation of Genesis 2) Science can try to explain things from a purely natural rationale but how many times have their theories changed and how many things go unanswered or are impossible to correlate to a chance/time theory.
Science has never been able to show how "life" formed from simple chemicals because it's impossible-- which shoots the theory completely right there. Science should stick to what's observable and demonstrable and let people know that theories are just that--a theory and not fact. If a theory or belief says that an almighty creator built the universe and enough people believe that, why is that any different or less valid from what scientists or evolutionists believe? Evolutionary scientists are always touting that evolution is the most "accepted" theory in scientific circles of how life came to be on this planet yet they dismiss how many people believe or accept that God of the Bible created everything as just superstition or folklore. You cannot say there is "no" God unless you know everything there is to know in the whole universe. What logic or facts do you have to disprove there is a God? By the way, the word "Universe" is actually made up of two words---"Uni" meaning single as in unicycle having one wheel and "verse" which is a spoken sentence---so "universe" literally means "a single spoken sentence" Sounds like the Genesis account of God speaking the whole of everything into being may have been right--- at least that's the term we all use for it.
At some times in history, religion was powerful and misused and scientific search for truth and knowledge did suffer, but now, we have the opposite where science is leaving out the truth of God----they should both be a way to reveal God's truth, power, mysteries and knowledge together and many respectable scientists are doing just that. After all, God is the supreme scientist and creator.
I believe that science will eventually reach the conclusion that chance and time and natural selection are failed theories of creation and that people will eventually come to accept God, who spoke through Jesus, as creator and Christ as their Savior from sin and eternal punishment. I fervently hope this helps you to believe.

My first argument is by using the human body to prove that there is something they can't explain. It is a unique experience that has no physical origin and nobody can dispute it.
There is a spot on the human body that both guides and experiences and yet there are no nerve centers nor organs there to explain what humans feel. That spot is just below the breast bone. What is there?
The questions:
Have you ever been in the presence of someone that gave you a strange feeling just below the breast bone? Sort of a sickish feeling and you knew it had something to do with this person and you simply have to get away, in order to stop that feeling? (gut feeling)
When you are heart broken, where is the pain? When you are thrilled, where is the sensation? (butterflies?)
Why is it, that there is a spot in your body with no explanation? Go check it out. What is in that very spot? An organ? No. A nerve center? No. And no bones.
Then how can you have these feelings in that very spot?
The explanation is spirit. That's where your spirit lives. It's in your 'center'.
Considering there is something about your body, you never knew about and science does not explain, is it possible you are a spirit living inside a body?
Considering there is something inside you that you haven't explained before, is it also possible there are other spiritual things you don't know about?
How would you explain to others, that there is spirit living 'right there'? Will they believe you? How can you prove it?
What you know, is what you know. Who you are is who your are and you can't prove it.
God is not of this world, neither is your spirit. That's why it doesn't require an organ to function. If God is of spirit, and not of this world, why would you ask me to use worldy things to prove something spritual?

If u could prove that God existed then He wouldn't be God. And let me tell something. Do u believe that someone on the other side of the world exists when all u do is email them and never see them?? That is how i know God exists, not only because of the things that He does in my life but by the relationship that I have with Him. Because not only do i talk with Him but He also talks back....sometimes u have to open ur heart and hear Him with ur spiritual ears.

there is no logic the other way to un-prove God, and also manyChristians dont understand a miracle is when God pauses or stops a law of nature, the rest is guidance and help

C - the cosmological argument: there become a beginning up, as a result there become a beginner. S-2nd regulation of thermodynamics - the universe is working out of skill, yet while it become eternal, it might have run out of skill an prolonged time in the past U-the universe is increasing - the place to? might it crumple decrease back to no longer something? R-radiation afterglow G-great galaxy seeds - temperature modifications, VERY specific/specific/precise E-Einstein's theory of relativity - area, rely, and time are all appropriate all are available in to existence on the comparable time the two no person created something from no longer something, or somebody created something from no longer something organic regulation become created a the beginning up of the universe, so it could no longer administration the advent of the universe O- order, teleological argument: layout, severe precision existence may well be impossible if any of numerous general constants/parts have been fairly diverse there is order, as a result there become an orderer S- precise complexity - innovations messages (like DNA) come from minds, they do no longer basically randomly seem DNA is very complicated!! --organic forces created it?? M- morality: if there is no longer God, than morality is basically your opinion vs. somebody else's opinion (molecules have not have been given any authority to tell you what to do) O- objectivity: logic, math technology objectivity w/o God what's "purpose" - we are basically molecules in action! purpose wide-unfold of fact without God? how? to no longer point out who? evolution yields survivability, no longer fact S- solitary existence: Jesus has effected greater human beings than the different individual ever "For the scientist who has lived by way of his faith interior the skill of reason, this tale ends like a nasty dream. He as scaled the mounts of lack of awareness, he's approximately to triumph over the utmost peek; and he pulls himself over the techniques-blowing rock and is greeted by way of s band of theologists who've been sitting there fore centuries" - Robert Jastrow, God and the Astronomers

I have a personal relationship with God and no one can take that away from me with any scientific explanation. The science is not the only way of knowing. : )

Rub yourself all over with dirt. Throw away your wallet. Start walking down a highway not trying to wave down a car, just keep walking. The one who stops to help you will say the Lord's name and prove that God lives within us.
