is God real?

Question

DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE EXISTENCE OF A GOD OR SUPREME BEING? YES OR NO, AND WHY?

Answer 1

Yes, God is real.
I believe in God because I believe in myself.

And God doesn't need any proof for his existence Because he is everywhere. He is inside every living being and outside. He is everywhere and he is the witness of every thing. But because of the our ignorance we can't see him or realise him.

Is God real? That is the big question. If God is not real then you can play by whatever rules you like. But if God is real then it is a whole new ballgame. It is interesting to note that the vast majority of people do believe that there is a God. George Barna, who makes a living by asking people questions like this, found that three out of four adults think that there is a God. Ask four friends and check it out for yourself. Of course the reality of God cannot be settled by majority vote.

How can we know if God is real? Wouldn't it be nice if we could pick up the telephone and give him a call? Or drive by his house just to see if his car was in the driveway? Fortunately, there are better ways to address this question. Consider this perspective: since God is infinite and we are finite, if God wanted to make himself known he would have to make his presence clear. So, are there any signs that point to the reality of God? Winfried Corduan put it this way, "...we can look at the world and see if the world is constructed in such a way that it is reasonable to believe that there must be a God." Just as the hunter follows the trail of an animal that he has yet to see--paw prints, clumps of fur, broken branches--we are looking for the fingerprint of God in the physical world.

Various signs (lines of reasoning) have been suggested over the last few centuries. Let us briefly consider three. First, the world seems to work according to the universal law of cause and effect. That is, every observable effect must have had an initial "push" by some agent or cause. Every "thing" (a highly scientific term) that we observe is dependent upon other "things" for its existence. For example, children are dependent on parents and the earth is dependent on the sun. Thinking all the way back to the first event, it could be asked, who was the cause? This is where it appears that there must be a being that is "uncaused." Philosophers like to call this a necessary being. Could that be God?

A second sign that should be considered is what scientists today are calling the marks of Intelligent Design. The suggestion is that the universe exhibits purpose, design, and intent. This is not a new idea; William Paley suggested that if you were walking through a field and found a watch on the ground that you would recognize it as a piece of machinery that had purpose and did not simply grow in the forest like plants and trees. A rational conclusion would be that someone intentionally built the watch. The universe is infinitely more complex than a watch and as a result points that much more to an intelligent designer.

A third mark has to do with the moral foundation of the universe. C. S. Lewis referred to this as the "law of human nature." This is not to say that people everywhere are in agreement on all moral values, but that everyone does tend to live by certain common moral principles. For example, people and cultures have different ideas about when it is appropriate to take another person's life, but no one (that would be considered sane) would hold that indiscriminate cold-blooded murder for no reason would be appropriate. It appears that humanity has been intentionally created with an internal moral compass.

All three of these marks appeal to our common sense and fit observations that can be made about the world. Everyone may not be completely convinced by this reasoning, but it seems to make more sense to believe that God is real than that he is not. If that is true, then maybe there are other things that can be known about God. Why don't you try to pick up the trail and see where it leads?

Answer 3

Well ok ... let me try to respond objectively.

A fish in the ocean spends its entire life thinking that the ocean is the world (or in the case of their very limited minds, it's the universe). They are not aware of the dimension outside the water. Then someone of a higher order, ie some punk human, plucks him out of the water. He asks ... where am i? Who is this? This being doesn't look like anything i've ever seen. He doesn't need water to live. What the *(%! is going on?

Even if this fish was a brilliant scientist fish of it's specie, chances are what's in the water is the extent of his specie's knowledge. The limit of his understanding.

With our current brains, what we can fully understand, most likely, will only be the things contained in this universe.

Now science (real science) speaks of the very like possibility of having multiverses (more than one universe) and higher dimensions.. Some scientists indicate that that may be where God lies. By the way, idiots here shouldn't try to speak on behalf of all scientists.

Okay, i'll cut it here: just put yourself in the fish's situation.

p.s. I'm not a psychologist but i know the people here who say no, at least most of them, are fearful of God being real. Which is kinda funny. They fear something which they try to confidently profess to be non-existent. They are the ones that try to defend their position the hardest because they're the ones hit hardest by the thought.

Answer 4

ABSOLUTELY!

When we see a camera, a radio, or a computer, we readily acknowledge that it must have been produced by an intelligent designer. Would it be reasonable, then, to say that far more complex things - the eye, the ear, and the human brain - did not originate with an intelligent Designer?

Scientists have identified over 100 chemical elements. Their atomic structure displays an intricate mathematical interrelationship of the elements. The periodic table points to obvious design. Such amazing design could not possibly be accidental, a product of chance.

Human Brain...
Modern computers are a product of intensive research and careful engineering. They did not "just happen." What about the human brain? Unlike the brain of any animal, the brain of a human infant triples in size during its 1st year. How it functions is stil largely a mystery to scientists. In humans, there is the built-in capacity to learn complex languages, to appreciate beauty, to compuse music, to comtemplate the origin and meaning of life. I am left with no choice but to acknowledge the existence of a Superior Intellect, responsible for the design and developement of the incredible brain-mind relationship - something far beyond's man's capacity to understand.

The development of this marvel begins from a tiny fertilized cell in the womb.

In the Bible David wrote to God.... "I shall laud you because in a fear-inspiring way I am wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, as my soul is very well aware!"

Answer 5

I cant say that I do because Ive never seen anything that proved there is such a supreme being or God. I cant say that I dont because I have no way of backing it up, agian theres no proof. No one really knows for sure.

Answer 6

I don't believe in any god that mankind has come up with. I haven't totally discounted the idea. I'd say that I'm 99.99999% sure that there is no 'supreme being'.

As to why...I guess I would ask the same question. Why would you believe in one?

Answer 7

Of course GOD IS REAL!
We all have to believe in god! One don'nt need to see him to believe it! That's why it's called faith!
All the natural calamities in the religion's point of view of view are sent by god! Even rain is sent by god! Or did u believe it was the h2o vapour who u were releasing which was forming clouds and then rain?
Of course Science will not accept that, since everything has to be proved in science! Me myself am a student of Geography, and i think one should keep a line of demarkation between science and religion!

Answer 8

I asked God, if you're real show me. Before I realized it I was a born again, blood bought, child of God. He opened my eyes to His existence & His love. Try him you'll love Him.

Answer 9

Brian F, i think i know what the F stands for. Im sorry, but you sound like you walk around with your fingers in your ears going "la la la!" all the way to the nut house. Good luck with that.

Answer 10

Yes....Jesus was God in the flesh...i believe that because his living word says so.
