Please don't say something like "Because the bible tells us that He exists".

Uh we don't intend to win or anything, I just want to know what Christians have to say about this question.
And I thought we were created through evolution, not from Adam and Eve (in other words, by God)?

All I know is this. I did not create myself. I have felt the presence of a higher power and seen men who claimed to not believe call out to God. I am a sinner. I know this not because I do things that are against what the Bible says or what I am taught but because I do things that go against my conscience. Things that I feel guilty about even though I may not be hurting others. I feel that this is not a natural instinct but a feeling that comes from knowing that one is separating themselves from being good and perfect (God is perfection). I can also look back at my life and see the signs that lead me to my Salvation. It would be irrational to think these things were coincidences. So maybe this is a sign to YOU? Have you been missing something? Thinking of coming to God? Don't miss the signs because there are no coincidences.

Supporters of evolution like to point out that acceptance of the idea of a divine Creator requires faith in someone or something we cannot see. Yet they are far from comfortable admitting that all who believe that life evolved from inert matter have faith in a theory that cannot be proven—and is founded on far more fragile evidence than that which supports the faith of believers in a Creator.
Evolutionists' faith assumes that our unimaginably complex universe created itself or somehow came to exist from nothing. They firmly believe in a chain of circumstances that defies not only logic, but also fundamental laws of physics and biology.
Evolution has become, in a real sense, another religion. The faith of its followers is rooted in an unsubstantiated belief that the incredible universe, including the world around us teeming with an intricate variety of life, is the result of blind, random chance. It can offer no rational explanation for where the matter came from that made possible the universe and the supposed evolution of life.
Sidestepping the issue of where matter and the universe originated, proponents of evolution begin with an existing universe operating according to harmonious and predictable laws. They recognize that those laws exist and function flawlessly. Yet they haven't the slightest idea of their origin. They choose to ignore the overwhelming evidence that a great intelligence is behind these orderly and harmonious laws.
Let's get to the crux of the matter: Why do we find so many dependable, predictable, finely tuned laws governing our existence? What is their origin? Did life arise by chance, or is something larger at work? There must be an explanation for the existence of everything. The number, precision and perfection of natural laws cannot be explained away as an accident. Such reasoning is irrational.
Common sense tells us that the existence of an unimaginably magnificent universe structured on and sustained by innumerable laws of physics requires the existence of a Creator of those laws, a Designer of those structures.
The precision of our universe is not the result of an accident. It is the product of a meticulous Creator and Lawgiver, the universe's Master Watchmaker.

I could say do you have a rational explanation that He does not exist- however that has gotten us no where- that question will continued to be asked until Jesus comes again, and then everyone will know that He exists- however are you ready? I am!!

As i walk down the road one day, I see a watch laying on the side of the road. I pick it up. It is a complex instrument beyond my comprehension, but it is RATIONAL for me to divine a watchmaker for this watch I found.
So to is it RATIONAL to divine the existence of a creator by looking at the complexities of our universe. Whether or not it is agreed is different, but reasonable people can disagree.

Trying to prove God exists rationally is like trying to prove that Santa Claus exists rationally..
It's an impossible task...

God is too big to fit into our brain - but not too big to love
us and for us to love Him!
How does a two-year-old rationally explain how a
camera takes pictures?
That is like your question plus much more of
a "learning gap" for any of us!

The fact that you didn't give your self Life and that you exist is as RATIONAL as it gets! Explain existence and how you came about possessing IT!

because the lord has told me things to come and it came to pass, because he showed me visions that came to pass, because even history backs up the bible if you study it, because it is the only thing that makes sence, becuase he answers my prayers, and i know i cant answer them on my own, and no one else knows what i ask for? so how can i explain that, b/c he heals me when im hurting i say lord please give me peace and comfot and its gone right away, b/c what rational explaination do you have for why god does not exist,,...............its the only thing that makes sence to me, if you try god, he will prove himslef, inow for sure he is real

There is nothing I can say or do that would be rational enough for you,all I can say is one day EVERY knee will bow, and EVERY tongue will confess that God is God.
