Faith is the belief without evidence. Belief without evidence is the definition of ignorance, a precursor of stupidity, and a symptom of insanity. Having faith in anything is nothing to take pride in and is aboslutely something to be embarassed about.

Thus, I treat this as a scientific question:
"Does God exist"

So, what is some physical or mathematical evidence that God exists?

If there is no evidence then I have to assume that God is as real as other things that have no evidence and are believed in by faith: the tooth fairy and monsters in my closet!

Answer 1

Here is one of the many arguments for the existence of God: the cosmological argument. The argument is simply this: The cosmos is here and must be explained as to how it got here. This argument is using the law of cause and effect, which states: Every effect must have a preceding and adequate cause. What does it mean by adequate? Well, the building didn’t collapse because a mosquito landed on it. The tsunami didn’t hit because someone threw a pebble into the ocean.

Now, when it comes to explaining the existence of the universe, you only get three possibilities: (1) the universe is eternal (it has always been here), (2) the universe created itself, or (3) something created the universe. There is no other possibility except to claim that the universe is simply an illusion and does not exist—but I don’t think you would buy that. So let’s examine these three possibilities to see which is the most reasonable.

First, is the universe eternal? Absolutely not. We know this is true because of the universally recognized second law of Thermodynamics (the law of energy decay or entropy).

This law states that everything goes downhill from order to disorder, more usable energy to less. This law is the reason why heat flows from hot to cold and why this building will fall apart if it is not kept up with. If someone doesn’t believe in the second law of thermodynamics, just challenge them to live forever; even with this awesome machinery we have in our bodies, you will eventually wear out and die.

We can see that the universe is running down and wearing out; the stars are burning up, the radioactive atoms are decaying, etc. As Psalm 102:26 says, the heavens “will wear out like a garment.” Given enough time, the universe will experience what some call a “heat death” where there is maximum entropy; every part of the universe will be the same temperature, and no further work will be possible (speaking of energy transfer); all energy will be evenly distributed.

Eternal things obviously do not wear out because they would have had an infinite amount of time to come to their end. Since you cannot have an end without a beginning, the universe must have had a beginning. Evolutionary astronomer Dr. Robert Jastrow said, “Now three lines of evidence—the motions of the galaxies, the laws of thermodynamics, the life story of the stars—pointed to one conclusion; all indicated that the Universe had a beginning.” And everything that has a beginning has a cause. This building had a beginning, you had a beginning, therefore there must have been a preceding and adequate cause.

The evolutionists know this and so they came up with the “big bang” theory from that “cosmic egg” (the universe exploded into existence). But there is still a major problem—you have to explain where that “cosmic egg” came from. As it has been said, “There must be a cosmic chicken.”

Some scientists like Carl Sagan and Isaac Asimov proposed the oscillating universe theory to avoid a beginning. This theory states that the universe acts like a yo-yo; it explodes and then gravity pulls it back in, and then the process repeats itself over and over. But the second law of Thermodynamics still refutes that idea, since each cycle would exhaust more and more usable energy. The universe is not eternal!

Ok, that brings us to the second possibility: Did the universe create itself? I think Hebrews 3:4 answers that pretty well, “...every house is built by someone...”

Let’s say I walk into my livingroom and see a crayon drawing of our family on the wall. When I ask my daughter where it came from, will I accept her answer of, “It just appeared there; it came from nothing”? Her grandparents might, but I won’t.

It is pretty clear that something cannot bring itself into existence. As R.C. Sproul has said, “It is impossible for something to create itself. The concept of self-creation is a contradiction in terms, a nonsense statement . . . It would have to have the causal power of being before it was. It would have to have the power of being before it had any being with which to exercise that power.” As it has been said, “Nothing scratched its head one day and decided to become something.” I’m sorry to have to drop this bombshell on you, but from nothing, comes nothing.

Besides, the First Law of Thermodynamics (the law of energy conservation) argues against it. The First Law of Thermodynamics states that in a closed system (without a God, this Universe would have to be a closed system) the amount of energy present in that system is constant (it cannot be created or destroyed), it can only be converted from one form to another. So, if the Universe initially contained no energy, and then it spontaneously generated all of the energy in the Universe now, the First Law would be violated. Without intervention from an outside force, the amount of energy in the Universe would have remained constant and unchanged at zero.

And now the third possibility: Did something create the universe? If the universe is not eternal and could not have created itself, then the only remaining alternative is that the universe was created by something or Someone. This would have to be a transcendent, eternal, self-existing being. I can find only one satisfactory explanation to our conundrum, and that is found in Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

Someone may argue, “If the universe needs a cause, then why doesn’t God need a cause; who created God?” The answer is, everything that has a beginning has a cause; God, unlike the universe, did not have a beginning. Time is linked to matter and space (as we can see from Einstein’s general relativity). If God created the universe, then He created time along with matter and space. If God created time, then He is outside of time and doesn’t need a beginning.

What is more absurd, to believe that God Created everything out of nothing or that nothing turned itself into everything? The fact is, we live in a Universe that is an effect. There must be a preceding and adequate cause for it. The only thing that makes sense is a Creator who is more powerful than anything we can imagine.

Answer 2

Mathematical Evidence Of God

Answer 3

You want proof? Look at a newborn baby, what more of a miracle do you want? Look at the sky, the trees, the grass. Where did all of that come from? Man may have put the tree there but the tree was a miracle of GOD. Your comment about being embarassed in the belief of FAITH, I am here to tell you that I AM PROUD to have FAITH in my LIFE. If I did not have FAITH I would be dead right now, trust me. What makes you go on each and everyday? The love of money? the love of a woman? Well........FAITH keeps me going on as I know one day I will be with all my family members that have crossed over. I have GOD'S favor in my life and I am finally happy in the LORD. I am sorry that you are so cynical about life. I hope this has helped and I will truly pray for you, Blessings.

Answer 4

Faith is not belief without evidence. Quite the contrary, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1. The Bible is the evidence. My faith is based on evidence (God's spoken word) about things not yet seen. I have not seen heaven....I have not seen my new resurrected body. I have not seen God. I have not seen Jesus. The only proof is that God has given to us his Word and only the sheep know or hear his voice (John 10:3).
Read the evidence and listen to the inner voice of God who will lead all seekers to the everlasting waters.

Answer 5

You don't need proof to have Faith and believe, but there still is lots of it.

Look at the world around you and what he has createdfor you....look at yourself, for that matter. Did everything just appear here one day?

Look at the miracles that happen every day and the blessings that you have because of him (and don't say that there are no miracles, because there are, every day.

If you want more proof, try praying to him. I know people think it is ridiculous, but it really isn't. if you pray with a sincere heart and truly believe trust me, you will know, if you do not doubt

There is evidence of God everywhere around you. When you hear a bird sing, or see a baby be born, or look at the leaves change color in the Fall, you see what God has done for us, and that is way more proof than any of us could ever ask for.

Answer 6

dude...
look at this EARTH. Look at it's beauty and such complex. Do you really believe that this Earth was made up of BACTERIA?!!? What a miracle that would be if this whole earth was made from bacteria. And then look at this solar system...how amazing is it that everything is done perfectly and that the planets circulate the sun at an exact! Do you really believe that there is no God?

Look at the human body.
It is SO intelligent and SO perfect, that it's too good to be true. How is that our mind knows to breath for us when were sleeping and unconssience? How come our heart can beat on its own with out any necessary actions need? How is that our nerves are able to detect things and and our spines are able to move without our brains being aware of the situation...

my friend..there is a God, and only ONE God...

Answer 7

Aesity means self-existence. Aesity explains the metaphysical nature of God as a purely self-existent being that exists in complete actuality. God is not a being that is created by another god; neither does God create himself into existence. Rather, God has always existed as an unchanging, completely actualized being.


God has his Being of himself and to himself such that he is Absolute being and the definition of existence.
Since God’s essence is his nature and God’s existence is the same as his essence it follows that God is existence.

Answer 8

Many people are trying to find out if God exist. It is a noble pursuit. I would rather live according to the Bible and try to exist for God. God will say to many, "I never knew you." In other words they did not exist. They didn't know Him and HE didn't know them. Give me proof, God will say, that you existed? " I ate food", you might say, I played games. I slept. I went to parties". OH, My! That is a lot of physical evidence. "My prophets did some of the same things, yet you do not believe them who spoke of me". I'll tell you what...God continues, "Show me mathematical evidence that you existed."
How many atoms does your body contain? Or, what is the mathematical formula of life itself? If you expect answers from God, He will also expect them from you.

Answer 9

God invented physics

Answer 10

it sucks that even if it was to be proven that god didnt exist, christians wouldnt believe it because they are taught all their live to believe in god. it would be like telling someone their whole life that sugar is wrong then letting them into the real world. if they saw that then they would freak because so many poeple are doing wrong. they would go crazy
