Is there evidence that God exists?

Question

A friend of mine told me that they found Noah's Ark on top of a mountain. I don't believe him. Could anyone tell me if he was right or just talking rubbish or could they maybe provide other evidence.

A lot of people have been saying just because there is creation means there was a creator but that is a terrible argument. It could be used both ways just because we are here is evidence enough that we evolved from other organisms.

Answer 1

I will tell you a story boys and girls....There one was a family of a mother, a Father, and their daughter. They wern't married and they lived in a rental house. The mother would go to work and the father would watch the daughter. The father was very violent towards the daughter, the mother told the daughter, when you are ready to leave, you tell me. One day when the daughter was 11 years old, she said "Mom it is time for us to leave", so the mother prayed and asked God for a sign to show her that his was the right time, on New Years day, the grandfather came over and said the owners of the house were going to sell it. The mother knew it was a sign. The mother was looking for prices in her low price range, but no one would take her, so she prayed again, and asked god to give her a house that didn't need a lot of work and wan't two big, perfect for her and her daughter to live, so one day her friend who was a realistate brocker showed her a little green house on a hill, it had a newly finished bathroom and two little bedrooms, a dinning/living room a closset that was used as a study,a kitchen, and a Basement. It was about the size of a small condo. So the mother prayed some more, and finally the mother's offer was excepted. And the daughter and her mother lived there with little complaints as they do now. What happened to the father, he was leaft where he started, lonely, poor, no job, and living with his parents.

Answer 2

No, but if they did find Noah's arch it wouldn't prove God existed. But if their was direct evidence that Noah's arch did NOT exist, it would not prove that God does not exist. The whole debate comes down to which side bares the burden of proof. Is there evidence that God doesn't exist? Even Darwinist's can't touch that question. And don't trust any who claims they can. The is no evidence anywhere that God does not exist.

BTW, climatologists believe that if there were a flood of biblical scale, the amount of water on the planet would effect the atmosphere in a way unlivable to humans.
Also, a recent filmmaker made a doc about the discovery of Jesus' tomb. In it his mother and Mary and someone else. All the names match up. But those names were very common then so there's a lot of skepticism.

Answer 3

Although it has not been confirmed, Noah's Ark was photographed by satellite and it was shown on top of Mt Ararat on The Discovery Channel..Finding the Ark is not proof of God, it does prove historical facts of people, places and things. Believing in God is an act of Faith. God is Spirit.Genesis 1:2 you cannot contain pure energy in a bottle to observe.

There had to be a Creator to put the laws of gravity, probabilities etc together to make it work properly. The Earth if moved one or two degrees either way could men true balance or disaster.

Noah's Flood Worldwide? Please explain Why fossils that should be in the Ocean are found by geologists and archaeologists are on the tops of mountains? That would be a historical account as well. Yes or No?

Romans took historical accuracy seriously, the penalty was death for mis-recording facts.
Other Hisortical Facts Recorded by Civilizations other than Jews and Christians:
There is Proof of God in math and probabilities, HISTORY
( Greeks, Romans, Babylonians, Egyptians) the sciences, geology, the round shape of the earth in astronomy Isaiah 40:22, the earth is suspended Job 26:7, physics, thermonuclear knowledge II Peter 3, Psalms 102:26,) archaeological facts. Many of the discoveries were made by atheists! To name a few: Josh Mac Dowell, Lee Strobel a reporter and atheist that wanted to dispel the notion of God and Ralph O. Muncaster, Albert Einstein.

Answer 4

The whole Noah's ark deal is most likely not true, but that doensn't really matter. If the only evidence Christianity had was a supposed pile of wood on a mountain somewhere it would be in serious trouble.

There are three main philosophical arguements for Christianity.

1) the teleological argument. This arguement basically says the complexity of the universe points to a creater. Research William Paley, he popularized this arguement. For a more recent work on this subject read "Nature's Destiny" by Michael Denton.

2) The Cosmological Arguement. I'm horribly over-simplifying this argument, but for the sake of space I'd describe it as saying that the universe must have had a beginning (for various reasons) and therefore had a cause. But there must be a first uncaused cause, and that uncaused cause is God. To learn about this look up William Lane Craig, he has written alot on this subject.

3) The moral law. This arguement says that each person has a underlying moral fabric. While there are disagreements, everyone still has similar ideas about basic morality. For example it would be considered not fair if you made a deal with someone and they didn't uphold their side. At this point though you must ask where you got the idea of what is fair? The moral law argument says that we get this idea of "fairness" from God. For more reading on this I'd suggest you read the first part of C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity."

I hope this helps. I have grossly over-simplified alot of this, but please take the initiative to research these topics and make an informed decision about your belief or lack there-of.

Answer 5

The concept of God is different for everyone my friend. I don't go to church because I don't need to. I can see God everyday. In the eyes of my children, in the arms of my family, in the blue of the sky and the kindnesses of others. Even if there weren't a shred of evidence on Earth, I would still believe.

I think however your search for "evidence" is admirable. I wish you the best of luck. As for Noahs Ark, here is a news story about it.

Answer 6

The only "evidence" for God or any other divine or supernatural beings or forces that is available is personal experience and how one interprets the experiences. One person will feel immense joy and energy and call it "feeling the presence of God". Another person will get the same feeling and call it "feeling a sugar rush". It's all about your experiances and more importantly how you interpret them that provides proof FOR YOU as to whether or not there is a God or anything else that is supernatural or divine. However beyond personal experience there is no evidence to either prove or disprove the existence of any divine or supernatural beings, forces, etc.

Answer 7

Even if they found a boat on top of a mountain top, it would be impossible to prove it was Noah's Ark. And even if they could, it would not be proof that God existed.

Answer 8

Your friend is right i saw a television program a few years ago.don't remember to much the Ark bared in snow they showed a portion of the Ark.This show was a documentary.I think Lenard Nemoy was the host.I think the show was called in search of Noah's Ark.

Answer 9

what he is referring to is the documentary on the discovery channel about the find on a mountain top in Russia that they believe might be the Ark. They have found lots of things in digs ect that are proven to be mentioned in the Bible just where they are supposed to have been so you would have to say the Bible must be true so some of the more intense things in the Bible must also be true. If one wants to see evidence of God all one must do is open the eyes and that alone should tell you that he exists if not that then just look at the human body there are so many wonders that are there to see
