What is the evidence that there is a 'god'?

Answer 1

NONE

Answer 2

When you ask for "evidence", I trust you understand that there are different types of evidence, and not every type of evidence fits every type of situation.

There is scientific evidence, in which an experiment can be repeated. This does not apply, because neither the big bang, nor evolution, nor creation can be replicated, so scientific evidence is out.

There is what's referred to as legal evidence, in which testimonials are taken into consideration. This is legitimate because I, among many MANY thousands have experienced God when He changed my life. I daresay that nobody (and I mean absolutely NO body - not a single, solitary person) can say that they have had a life-changing experience that changed the entire direction of their life due because of the non-existence of God. You find me even 10 people who can declare that their lives were changed for the better by an atheistic approach (I don't mean "secular"), and I will find you 100 people who can tell you that Jesus Christ has changed their lives. The one testimony is as valid as the other. That is, you can't say that the Christian testimony is valid if you turn around and point out someone who received help without the aid of God.

The third type of evidence is logical. Is it logical that chaos moved towards order (contrary to the laws of entropy or the laws that govern the distribution of energy - referred to as the laws of thermodynamics)?

Is it logical that something as complex as a DNA (please study how the cell replicates itself, and study the mitochondria and the energy cycle in which raw materials are converted into energy within the cell, and study protein and protein synthesis within the cell). This double-helix strand of DNA is WAY more complex than the most complex Cray Supercomputer, and yet we understand that the Cray was designed and built by people with intelligence, and yet the DNA is considered to have been an accident. That is TOTALLY illogical (as well as unscientific).

In the words of Sherlock Holmes, when all the impossible options are removed, then what is remaining, no matter how improbable, is the solution.

Evolution is totally and absolutely illogical and unscientific, and the only other option, while improbable to the mind of the skeptic, is intelligent design.

Answer 3

Absolutely none, an outdated book of fiction doesn't count as evidence.That is why religion is based on faith - how fantastically convenient - it's true because millions of people believe it to be so and its been that way for a really long time...that's not proof! You could say that there is no evidence in support of god not existing...then again there is no evidence to show that there is no fairies...doesn't mean we should believe in them!

Answer 4

The evidence is right there every day, smacking mankind in the face...the complexity of life, the way the earth is.. speaks of His hand. Nine orbs revolving like clockwork around a great orb of light...an accident. Yeah right.

See, the question isn't the proof, it's do you have eyes to see. The proof is there. If you play games with God, blindness comes. Many of you had parents that were F students with the Lord, belittling the living God. You inherited their garbadge. Not only does the Lord exist, He is very much active. He has spoken to me and I feel His comfort.

It's not whacky or make believe..there really is a creator. So why is mankind blind to Him... now that's where we get into the wrath of God and hell. Which people poo poo, but it's there nonetheless.

Most people go to hell. That is why the earth is filled with "where is God," "prove to me." The reason I have my proof and they do not... the difference is God's wrath. Most of you have played around with a fire you cannot fathom. And you quickly discount anyone speaking as I do...cause your hardwired for failure before the Lord.

Christ is the key. Focus on Him.

--DO YOU like:

--Breathing fresh air, How about good food & drink?
--Would you part with your taste buds?
--How about your eyes,ears, etc.-- do you REALLY think man made your parents in order for your eyes, ears, tongue, nose to be in your skull & to function?
--How would you do without a brain?--that was not formed by man as the original invention?
--FIND A real life frankenstein with all the above things, characteristics , and abilities to function AND THEN maybe your question would have some merit!
--ONE HONEST scientist admitted:
*** ce chap. 12 p. 152 par. 1 Who Did It First?
"I HAVE the suspicion,” one biologist said, “that we’re not the innovators we think we are; we’re merely the repeaters."

***UPDATE ---ON THIS SAME LINE OF THINKING , Please note how SIR ISAAC NEWTON, reasoned with an atheist friend:

*** gh chap. 6 p. 54 par. 10 The Source of Good News—“God” ***
--Newton once had a skilled mechanic make for him a model of the solar system. Balls representing the planets were geared together so as to move realistically in orbit. One day an atheist friend visited Newton. On seeing the model, he operated it, and exclaimed in admiration, “Who made it?” Newton answered, “Nobody!” The atheist replied, “You must think I am a fool! Of course somebody made it, and he is a genius.” Newton then said to his friend, “This thing is but a puny imitation of a much grander system whose laws you know, and I am not able to convince you that this mere toy is without a designer and maker; yet you profess to believe that the great original from which the design is taken has come into being without either designer or maker!”

Answer 6

Look around you and at all the complexities of life. Do you honestly think that with the human body (or any animal's body for that matter) as complex and sophisticated as it is, that it could just randomly be here by chance or accident? Take a look at the seasons, the weather, even biology, botany and science. Everything is so complicated and sophisticated, and if one were to try to duplicate all of these things with planned "accidents", it would take a million or more of these "accidents" to happen and still, life and everything about it, would not be able to be duplicated. If with our scientific knowledge that we have in this world today, we can't duplicate such random accidents of nature which would cause all life as we know it, then how could these "accidents" happen when they are just by mere chance? The answer is, they can't. Why? Because it took a supreme Creator, one with intelligence, to create everything you see in the world around you - this supreme Creator is also known as God.

Answer 7

If you have ever had children and looked into their eyes for the first time - you see the purest form of life. No question, that soul came from God. The very essence of life is God. It's inexplicable as God is a spirit. You can only know it by faith. Once you know - you just know.

Cover your mouth and nose and try to live without air. You can't. Yet you trust that when you breath - this invisible stuff (air) will sustain you. You breath by faith. Can you accept God the same way?

Trust me - your soul will know the difference just as your lungs do.

Answer 8

Do Buddhists believe in a creator god?

No, we do not. There are several logical reasons for this. The Buddha, like modern scientists, sociologists and psychologists, believed that religious ideas and especially the god idea have their origins in fear. The Buddha says:

"Gripped by fear men go to sacred mountains, sacred groves, sacred trees and shrines." *Dhammpada 188

Primitive man found himself in a dangerous and hostile world, the fear of wild animals, of not being able to find enough food, of injury or disease, and of natural phenomena like thunder, lightning and volcanoes was constantly with him. Finding no security, he created the idea of god in order to give him comfort in good times, courage in times of danger and consolation when things went wrong. To this day, you will notice that people become more religious at times of crises, you will hear them say that the belief in a god gives them the strength they need to deal with life. You will hear them explain that they believe in god because they prayed in time of need and their prayer was answered. All this seems to support the Buddha’s teaching that the god-idea is a response to fear and frustration. The Buddha taught us to try to understand our fears, to lessen our desires and to calmly and courageously accept the things we cannot change. He replaced fear, not with irrational belief but with rational understanding.

The second reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is because there does not seem to be any evidence to support this idea. There are numerous religions, all claiming that they alone have god’s words preserved in their holy book, that they alone understand god’s nature, that their god exists and that the gods of other religions do not. Some claim that god is masculine, some that she is feminine and others that it is neuter. They are all satisfied that there is ample evidence to prove the existence of their god but they laugh in disbelief at the evidence other religions use to prove the existence of another god. It is not surprising that with so many different religions spending so many centuries trying to prove the existence of their gods that still no real, concrete, substantial or irrefutable evidence has been found. Buddhists suspend judgement until such evidence is forthcoming.

The third reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is that the belief is not necessary. Some claim that the belief in a god is necessary in order to explain the origin of the universe. But this is not so. Science has very convincingly explained how the universe came into being without having to introduce the god-idea. Some claim that belief in god is necessary to have a happy, meaningful life. Again we can see that this is not so. There are millions of Atheists, free-thinkers and Buddhists, who live useful, happy and meaningful lives without belief in a creator god. Some claim that belief in god’s power is necessary because humans, being weak, do not have the strength to help themselves. Once again, the evidence indicates the opposite. One often hears of people who have overcome great disabilities and handicaps, enormous odds and difficulties through their own inner resources, through their own efforts and without belief in a god. Some claim that god is necessary in order to give man salvation. But this argument only holds good if you accept the theological concept of salvation and Buddhists do not accept such a concept. Based on his own experience, the Buddha saw that each human being had the capacity to purify the mind, develop infinite love and compassion and perfect understanding. He shifted attention from the heavens to the heart and encouraged us to find solutions to our problems through self-understanding.

But if there is no creator god how did the universe get here?

All religions have myths and stories which attempt to answer this question. In ancient times, when man simply did not know, such myths were adequate, but in the 20th century, in the age of physics, astronomy and geology, such myths have been superseded by scientific fact. Science has explained the origin of the universe without recourse to the god-idea.

Answer 9

None, except for a brilliant work of fiction called The Holy Bible.

The man who wrote that was a genius and the greatest writer in the world. What an imagination.

Answer 10

There is no reference ever of a God.

If there would be a God, (all mighty, omnipotent and such), why would he showing himself to us lesser creatures?

Only you can make your own evidence of God's existence. Whether you believe it or not.

Answer 11

What is the evidence that there is a such thing as 'Love'?

What ever your answer is to my question that is my answer to yours.

How can anyone prove what they feel in their heart? You can't really see love. There are some poems and stories written about love but that doesn't prove that Love exist.
