Does God really exist?

Question

Is there really a God? Any God?

If so, why is yours the one that really exists?

Why do you really believe in God?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Yes He does exist. SOMETHING had to create us and this universe.

i think if it came right down to it, everyone knows He really is there.

let's say your childs life is at stake, or your spouse is about to die. i'll bet there are a lot of athiests who at that exct moment will kneel and ask the one almighty God for help. that's seems to be people's last resort which is sad, it should be their first. i believe everyone, no matter who you worship, or what religion, will profess to believing God really is there if faced with a trying event.

COOL STORY--

Who Made It?

Sir Isaac Newton had a friend who, like himself, was a great scientist; but he was an infidel, while Newton was a devout Christian. They often discussed their views concerning God, as their mutual interest in science drew them much together. Newton had a skillful mechanic make him a replica of our solar system in miniature. In the center was a large gilded ball representing the sun, and revolving in proper order around this were small balls fixed on the ends of arms of varying lengths, representing Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. These bails were so geared together by cogs and belts as to move in perfect harmony when turned by a crank.

One day, as Newton sat reading in his study with his mechanism on a large table near him, his infidel friend stepped in. Scientist that he was, he recognized at a glance what was before him. Stepping up to it, he slowly turned the crank, and with undisguised admiration watched the heavenly bodies all move with their relative speeds in their orbits. Standing off a few feet he exclaimed,

"My! What an exquisite thing this is! Who made it?"

Without looking up from his book, Newton answered, "Nobody!"

Quickly turning to Newton, the infidel said, "Evidently you did not understand my question. I asked who made this?"

Looking up now, Newton solemnly assured him that nobody made it, but that the aggregation of matter so much admired had just happened to assume the form it was in. But the astonished infidel replied with some heat, "You must think I am a fool! Of course somebody made it, and he is a genius, and I'd like to know who he is."

Laying his book aside, Newton arose and laid a hand on his friend's shoulder. "This thing is but a puny imitation of a much larger system whose laws you know, and I am not able to convince you that this mere toy is without a design and maker; yet you profess to believe that the great original from which the design is taken has come into being without either designer or maker! Now tell me by what sort of reasoning do you reach such an incongruous conclusion?"

The infidel was at once convinced and became a firm believer that "Jehovah, He is God."

Answer 3

Hinduism can give some mystical answers .

Who is God? Where is God? How can I come to know God?"

God has no names, but all names are the names of God. Whether you call Him this or that, He remains Who He is. But in our tradition we call God by the loving name Siva, which is only one of His 1,008 traditional names. Supreme God Siva is both within us and outside of us. Even desire, the fulfillment of desire, the joy, the pain, the sorrow, birth and death -- this is all Siva, nothing but Siva. This is hard to believe for the unenlightened individual who cannot see how a good, kind and loving God could create pain and sorrow. Actually, we find that Siva did not -- not in the sense that is commonly thought. God gave the law of karma, decreeing that each energy sent into motion returns with equal force.

In looking closely at this natural law, we can see that we create our own joy, our own pain, our own sorrow and our own release from sorrow. Yet we could not even do this except for the power and existence of our loving Lord. It takes much meditation to find God Siva in all things, through all things. In this striving -- as in perfecting any art or science -- regular daily disciplines must be faithfully adhered to.

Siva is the immanent personal Lord, and He is transcendent Reality. Siva is a God of love, boundless love. He loves each and every one. Each soul is created by Him and guided by Him through life. God Siva is everywhere. There is no place where Siva is not. He is in you. He is in this temple. He is in the trees. He is in the sky, in the clouds, in the planets. He is the galaxies swirling in space and the space between galaxies, too. He is the universe. His cosmic dance of creation, preservation and dissolution is happening this very moment in every atom of the universe. God Siva is, and is in all things. He permeates all things. He is immanent, with a beautiful form, a human-like form which can actually be seen and has been seen by many people in visions. He is also transcendent, beyond time, cause and space.

That is almost too much for the mind to comprehend, isn't it? Therefore, we have to meditate on these things. God Siva is so close to us. Where does He live? In the Third World. And in this form He can talk and think and love and receive our prayers and guide our karma. He commands vast numbers of devas who go forth to do His will all over the world, all over the galaxy, throughout the universe. These are matters told to us by the rishis; and we have discovered them in our own meditations. So always worship this great God. Never fear Him. He is the Self of your self. He is closer than your own breath. His nature is love, and if you worship Him with devotion you will know love and be loving toward others. Devotees of God Siva love everyone.

This is how God Siva can be seen everywhere and in everyone. He is there as the Soul of each soul. You can open your inner eye and see Him in others, see Him in the world as the world. Little by little, discipline yourself to meditate at the same time each day. Meditate, discover the silent center of yourself, then go deep within, to the core of your real Being. Slowly the purity comes. Slowly the awakening comes.

Answer 4

"God" is such a vague term. This can mean anything as simple as "God is Love" (which would make everybody theistic, yet would beg the question of why we need to deify an emotion), to an anthropomorphic deity who keeps track of everything humans do and only favors one sect of one religion.

The bottom line though is that nobody has ever come up with a water-tight logical proof of its existence. Since the burden of proof is on those who claim for the existence of something, and I'm doing quite fine without this deity notion in my life, I'll just go about my business and let believers go about their business, unless we're in a place of discussion.

Oh, and Catholic Crusader's arguments ("prime mover", etc.) have been debunked for centuries. See Kant.

Answer 5

How many times is this question going to be asked by people who don't look at the "prior questions" before they submit it... over and over again?

Yes. Yes. One God. See below article from "gotquestions.org" because I'm tired of repeating myself.

Why? Cuz I DO!


Have a blessed day!

Answer 6

Beleiving in God is a personal thing, some say he doesn't exist, I believe he does.

Answer 7

It is not a question of mine being the only one that really exists it is more a statement I/we exist because of him!

Answer 8

There is insufficient empirical evidence to support the hypothesis of a god or gods.

Answer 9

I believe we are all God.Every living thing is God.

Answer 10

Yes, in the minds of the people that believe in him - and nowhere else! I believe this because I hear the delusional people speak about their God quite often.

Answer 11

good place to ask about God since every body here believes (even the ones that deny it) yes he does exist !!!
