If you believe in God, what proofs do you have that God really exists?

Answer 1

My proof is God himself.

He is my proof.

Would you like to speak to him and have him answer you???

You can, I can tell you how.

Answer 2

If you look, you can find evidence of God through both science and history.
Take the creation of the universe, for example. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1). It is highly likely that the universe began with a "Big Bang". However, for there to have been a "Big Bang", something would have been needed to set everything in motion, some great force that could defy the stillness and cold of space.
Our very planet stands as an example of God. Earth is the precise distance from the Sun to support life. Were Earth any closer to the Sun, it would be like Venus, much too hot to support life; if Earth were just a little farther away from the Sun, it would be too cold for life. Earth is the only known location in the universe where water exists in all three forms (solid, liquid, gas). Then, there is nature (plants, animals, weather, sunrises/sunsets, etc.); through nature and natural things, we have everything we need to live.

Looking at the past, God created the way for Jesus Christ to come. Alexander the Great conquered everything along the Mediterranean Basin, spreading Greek language and culture to all of the places that he conquered. The Romans built the roads necessary for quick travel. With a common language thoughout the Roman Empire, and relatively fast travel, it was easy for Jesus and his followers to spread Christianity.

And I also have a personal testimony: Four years ago, I got hit in the head with an 8 pound solid iron ball, aka a shotput. Most people would have either gone into a coma or died; however, I was only a little loopy for a few days. Had that shotput hit me just a tiny bit to the left or right, I would not be where I am at today. I just cannot deny that God was watching over me that day.

Answer 3

There is no scientific proof that God exists,because God cannot be proven scientifically.The same goes for the beginning of the universe.Science cannot prove that the universe decided to "create itself" some time ago, but they are happy to label it a theory to give them more time to find a scientific answer.And yet they dismiss the possibility of a Creator of the universe because of lack of proof.This to me is ironic and pig headed,but what can you expect with a closed mind? At least they could label God as a "theory".That's not too much to ask for ,is it?
If you believe in God, no explanation is necessary.If you do not believe in God,no explanation is possible.

Answer 4

There is no proof of god's existence.

For SuperStar89872, does that mean you also believe in the next 50,000 gods and of course the FSM, the lord of all gods, because you do not have proof they do not exist either. Does that not flaunt your 10 commandments?

Answer 5

A scientific proof is something done out of experiment. There has to be observation and measurement. Without scientific proof, one cannot prove the existence of God. BUT, one cannot also disprove it.

I cannot give you a scientific proof. But I can give you a philosophical proof. Philosophical proofs can be good proofs, but they don't have to be scientific.

Philosophically speaking, to say, "There is no God", is an example of an absolute statement. For someone to say an absolute statement, you have to have absolute knowledge.

Take this for example: "there is no gold in the US." For someone to say this, he must have first absolute knowledge of the US. He must have known that the territories of the US has no gold - no gold found in its land, its air, or its seas. Not only this, but he must have also known its people - no gold found in their bodies. If someone has exhausted everything about the US and has not found gold, then it is possible to say, he has absolute knowledge and is qualified to say an absolute statement, that is, "there is no gold in the US". But if in his search, he founds a tiny piece of gold, he can say "there is gold in the US".

It is the same thing with our previous absolute statement, "there is no God." For someone to say that, he must have to have absolute knowledge of everything to be qualified to say an absolute statement. He must have searched everything, the earth, its inhabitants, its atmosphere, the moon, the sun, the other planets, the inhabitants of the other planets (if there is any), the moons of the other planets, the other galaxies (if there is any), inhabitants of other galaxies (if there is any), for him to be qualified of an absolute statement.

Well, I have not known anyone who have done that. So philosophically speaking, no one is qualified to say "there is no God."

With this, we can only say that there are NO atheists - those who deny the existence of God. But there are just agnostics - people who claim that they do not know or are unable to know whether God exists

Now let's go back to this: "But in his search, he founds a tiny piece of gold, he can say there is gold in the US". Philosophically speaking, this statement can only be said by someone who has done his searching and has found one. For one to believe in this person, one has to know his credibility - that he truly searched for it. And when that person finds out that he is credible enough, the believer does not have to see the actual gold but just believes.

Let me introduce to you some of the people who have truly done their searching (and prayed) and has found their gold: Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, the other prophets, Peter and the Apostles, the Evangelists, Paul, the Saints. They have found God and some of them even spoke with Him. Their lives have been well-documented in history. And they have all attested to the One True God. With their testimony, it leads to a very visible proof, the Church which the One True God established. The Church which God said that the gates of hell will not prevail against it (Matt. 16:18). The Church which is ONE (Rom. 12:5, 1 Cor 10:17, 12:13, CCC 813-822), HOLY (Eph. 5:25-27, Rev. 19:7-8, CCC 823-829), CATHOLIC (Matt. 28:19-20, Rev. 5:9-10, CCC 830-856) and APOSTOLIC (Eph. 2:19-20, CCC 857-865).

You have the philosophical proof. Now, here is the visible proof according to these people above: The Catholic Church.

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam

p.s. philosophically speaking, start your search in history and pray my friend and then you'll believe through the credibility of the witnesses and upon finding Him you'll say, my Lord and my God. Now, who says faith and reason cannot co-exist?

Answer 6

many people have asked this question before, and many times people answer with this question- "what proof is there that He doesn't." However, I will say something different than that- Faith is believing in the things that we cannot see. I can also tell you though that when we step out in faith, and believe God through His Son Jesus- you will see Him in every area of your life. Faith leads to seeing. Seeing does not lead to faith.

Answer 7

The very fact that I exist ! Well faith / Trust can even move mountains is a strong belief. My list of proof may be endless...but one has to have similar faith to understand it. Often we tend to write off most of the incidences by calling it a sheer coincidence.Once you acknowledge God's hand ij your life the list and experiences are endless.

Answer 8

I don't have a single shred of evidence which would be absolutely conclusive.

I believe if there were absolute undeniable proof of God, we would all feel as if we have no free will, or freedom to choose, and are always at the mercy (no pun intended) of someone who controls every aspect of our lives.

If I were God, I'd feel so much better about someone who CHOOSES to love me and WANTS to be with me, rather than having a bunch of captive pets who were created just for my selfish desires to control, and be admired and/or respected. It's somewhat like that old saying "If you love something, let it GO..."

...but I'm not God, and I can't prove a thing I say. "Take it or leave it", as they say

Answer 9

I do NOT believe in god, but allow me to answer your question as I am sure the answer I give will reflect the general nature of the answers you receive.

It is not likely that such a being exists. The existence of god is unable to be proven or disproven (it is unknowable). Any proofs that you receive contrary to the previous sentence are most likely unreasonable, unsatisfactory, unsubstantiated, and/or illogical.

Answer 10

Here's a interesting clip on proving God's existence.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEXGKzH0F9c

Well,Blessed is he who believes.
There are always miracles to prove the power of God and there's always faithful people who don't need proof to believe the Almighty One.

If you still need proof,you could always ask God to show it.
The reason you have not seen evidence of God's existence is either God thinks it is not the right time to show it to you or you have seen it ,ignored it or didn't notice it.

God Bless.

Answer 11

I believe in God, but I'm not gonna lie to you...it's based almost entirely on optimism and a gasp of hope that there's something out there bigger and wiser than all of us, and on no proof whatsoever.
