No 'real' proof that God exist ?

Sometimes atheist assert that there is no proof that God exists. The only problem is that an atheist cannot logically make that claim.


In order to state that there is no proof for God's existence, the atheist would have to know all alleged proofs that exist in order to then state that there is no proof for God's existence. But, since he cannot know all things, he cannot logically state there is no proof for God's existence.


At best, an atheist can only state that of all the alleged proofs he has seen thus far, none have worked. He could even say that he believes there are no proofs for God's existence. But then, this means that there is the possibility that there is a proof or proofs out there and that he simply has not yet encountered one.


Nevertheless, if there was a proof that truly did prove God's existence, would the atheist be able to accept it given that his presuppositions are in opposition to the existence of God? In other words, given that the atheist has a presuppositional base that there is no God, in order for him to accept a proof for God's existence, he would have to change his presuppositional base. This is not easy to do and would involve a major paradigm shift in the belief structure of the atheist. Therefore, an atheist is presuppositionally hostile to any proofs for God's existence and is less likely to be objective about such attempted proofs.

Sorry to tell you but more SCIENTIFIC evidence suggests intelligent design than the ridiculous notion of evolution.
Here are a few questions that your beloved evolution cannot answer and NEVER will be able to. Please note these questions have NOTHING to do with any religion.

1. What happened before the Big Bang? What caused singularity?

2. How could the first living cell begin? How could that first cell reproduce? Just before life appeared, did the atmosphere have oxygen or did it not have oxygen? Whichever choice you make creates a terrible problem for evolution. Both must come into existence at about the same time.

3. Please point to a strictly natural process that creates information. What evidence is there that information, such as that in DNA, could ever assemble itself? What about the 4,000 books’ worth of coded information that are in a tiny part of each of your 100 trillion cells? Why doesn’t the vast information sequence in the DNA molecule of just a bacterium imply an intelligent source?

4. Where has macroevolution ever been observed? What’s the mechanism for getting new complexity, such as new vital organs? If any of the thousands of vital organs evolved, how could the organism live before getting the vital organ? (Without a vital organ, the organism is dead—by definition.) If a reptile’s leg evolved into a bird’s wing, wouldn’t it become a bad leg long before it became a good wing? How could metamorphosis evolve?

5. If macroevolution happened, where are the billions of transitional fossils that should be there? Billions! Not a handful of questionable transitions. Why don’t we see a reasonably smooth continuum among all living creatures, or in the fossil record, or both?

6. Did you know that the Mt. St Hellens frozen lava flows were radio dated? Using radio dating these flows were confirmed to have happened over 100,000 yrs ago!!! (Please note that the Mount St. Hellens eruption happened a little over 20 yrs ago!)

So why you ask isn't the SCIENTIFIC Theory of Creation taught in our schools? Because the vocal minority (Atheists and the Liberal media) say that it is religious and it promotes religion. Were any of the questions asked, about religion?
Saying that intelligent design is a viable explanation of origins could have religious implications, but does not directly promote religious doctrine. That is like saying Evolution promotes an Atheistic doctrine. It does not! Darwin himself said, "It increases God's grandeur to believe that the universe was created with evolution thrown in."
Promoting Intelligent Design as an alternative to evolution does imply a creator. However, this creator doesn't have to demand worship. Indeed this creator could care less. This creator could be something totally different that what is described in the Bible. For instance "The Force" or the FSM.
The nature of this creator is not the central issue of creationary theory. The proposed fact that everything WAS created is.

Well, although I agree we have no real proof, we still believe.

Personally, I sincerely believe he exists. It's fact to me, despite the fact that there isn't any proof. That's why it's called a "faith".

There's also no real rule saying that quotes must be used when something doesn't have proof.

We all use the word 'evolution' without quotes. There's no proof of it, but there is significant evidence to support it. That's why I believe it's correct, without having proof, per se, and write it without quotes.

Besides, where would that leave abstract nouns, like "love". In positivist terms, love is just a herd response, and thus truly meaningless. Try using air quotes when taking your wedding vows! It would get you slapped.

Actually, I do have proof that God exists. I think that you exist, too, but I'm not really sure.

If believers can not grasp the simple concept that you don't prove a negative, they certainly will not grasp this.

Prove God/Santa/Zeus/Thor doesn't exist... by this reasoning we must acknowledge that all gods and mythological creatures exist.

I think an atheist is so closed minded that if a miracle happended to them they would push it off as a coinsedense, and if they had a near death experience and met the Jesus Christ face to face it would be no more than a dream to them.

You can mock Christians, but make no mistake...you cannot mock God.

That is, your mocking words WILL come back to haunt you.

May the Lord open your eyes and ears to see the truth of the Gospel of the the grace of Jesus Christ...before it is dreadfully too late.

You should have put your question in quotes because none of us know for sure whether you exist. Let's be accurate.

Actually, you shouldn't be criticising someone of their beliefs. I mean, everyone has their own rights to belief in something that they want to. It's not up to you to decide for them. You will have to respect the decisions others make.
