I am tired of people acting like there is no evidence for God. There is plenty.
Look at the Bible. Look at the historical and archeological evidence that backs it up. Look at the prophecies that were correctly predicted HUNDREDS of years before they came true.
Look at out of body experiences. Think of how many people have had those. Look at people who were given NO chance by doctors to be cured, yet they got better through the power of prayer.
The evidence is out there. Agree?
If you do not believe in this, I hope I have at least given you something to ponder. God bless.

I noticed you didn't provide a link to all this historical and archaeological "evidence" you mentioned. Why not?
Also, you do realize that prophesies can be changed and tampered with to make them line up more precisely with an event after it has occurred, right?
As far as out of body experiences are concerned, what in the heck do they have to do with the existence of God? I had a near death experience, yet I didn't die, which means that a dream-like event is likely what I experienced, since my brain was obviously still alive and able to create all types of illusions.
Two years ago, I was given 4 days to live from a "fatal" disease, yet I prayed to my Pagan gods to help me find a cure AND I DID. I know of at least three instances where devout Christians were dying of illnesses and whole churches of people were praying for them, yet they all died anyway. Does that mean that my Pagan gods are the real gods and yours is a fake?

There is archaeological proof of some of the events in The Iliad, does that mean Poseidon and Zeus exist?
What prophecies? If they are the ones about the messiah, please provide historical proof outside of the bible of the biblical Jesus.
Out of body experiences are dreams caused by the brain as it shuts down from a lack of oxygen as opposed to a rest cycle . I had I dream where I flew once, does that mean I can fly in the real world?
Doctors can be wrong and there are aspects of the human body not fully understood, a disease suddenly going into remission is not proof. Besides, how many have died despite the fact people prayed for them?

What evidence? The only "evidence" I've EVER heard of is completely subjective. If you're going off of prophecies to back your claim, then I suppose you are Mormon because the Mormon prophets had prophecies that came true. Or maybe you're a follower of Nostradamus, who also had prophecies come true.
Out of body experiences: I don't see how this proves a god. It proves how mind altering drugs can be. How do you explain the people who have died who were prayed over. How do you explain the people who have lived where nobody prayed for them? I knew of a girl in school who was dying, everybody told me to pray for her. I didn't. She still lived.

-the bible isn't proof, its a book.
-there is no archaeological evidence of any biblical event, only places
-the prophecies were so vague that it coming true was inevitable (i.e. fortune cookies and horoscopes)
-out of body experiences are just hallucinations
why are there no stories about anyone in the bible in other forms of historical documents. like the romans or egyptians records. the only thing that talks about jesus is the bible and nothing else. you would think that such a prophet would be documented more.

The "evidence" that you gave, only suggest the existence of a Higher Power, and not your God.
Other religious texts, from the Aztec to Hindu, was able to predict the future and archaelogical evidence also backs them up. The Vedas describes of a war, where a weapon of mass destruction, similar to the Atomic Bomb was used.
They also had flying ships similar to our modern jet planes.
Shamanistic religions like the Native American Indians, Aborigines or Shintoism, experiences more out of body experiences as dreams or visions. Are they closer to your God than you are?
Chinese deities also had a history of curing the sick. Like my uncle, who as a Christian had cancer, and upon conversion to Buddhist and prayers to Guan Yin, recovered.
Are my evidences not supportive for the existence of myriad of gods in history books, yet you claim only your God's existence is real.
I hope too this will open your eyes to the other possibilities.
Buddha/Vishnu/Jade Emperor/Ra/Odin bless u too

Lol ok...
no. 1) The bible is a book create by people (mere mortals). u dont even know who they are and is just a pile of bull crap fiction collected in it. So its not technically a proof!! Anyone could have came up with that thing and i dont believe a thing unless i have seen it for myself. Besides, things in the bible sound more like fairy tales than actual facts.
no.2 ) doctors are human beings too... they have an education of medicine to a certain level only. we're not fully accomplished. they make mistakes too. We just dont know how people survive from fatal diseases like a miracle.. so how is that a PROOF???.... that God exist????
ill tell you one thing my friend. god is not whether a person needs to proof his existence. if you think He's there, He's there... if you think not.. He's not. And that is that!!!!
dont try to persuade other people into believing in god! its their life and their business... keep your own believes to yourself! I DO believe in god but.... unlike you my friend, I dont go around daring people that i can proof the existence of god and end up getting stupid replies like...'proof it then'... so chill... sit and think....

God only exists in peoples' minds.
People created God to explain their journey through life and to provide some explanation of what happens after we die.
It's a primitive belief that has no scientific basis whatsoever.
The Bible was written by little Jewish dudes who were trying to do the World a favour. Instead, they created something so contentious that we're still fighting over it thousands of years later.

similar sort of evidence (if we can dignify it with that word temporarily) exists for many gods. and yet, strangely, i reckon you don't believe in them. why is that?
it seems to me that you have pretty loose standards for determining whether or not something exists (but only if you like the idea).

The evidence is in God's creation
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools
