if you could prove existence or in-existence of all gods or spirituality , would you do it?

Question

personaly yes i would. i have truly put my heart out to god to ask him for one thing in life and yet im still waiting. it'll do so much for me as i would just love to one day confront god and ask what he thinks of me and why has he never answerd my one request. i really wouldn't be afraid anymore if i oppose him. if he does not exist, it would benefit the world so much and really shove it into those people who make a big fuss over how we should just wait for our fate and junk and also make people focus on life itself.

Answer 1

no...because he's already proven himself to us so many times it's just that people don't want to believe...just cuz people don't believe in something doesn't make it not real...take a look around at God's creation, how can anyone believe that all this just came out of some random cosmic explosion? and if someone argues that this earth isn't so perfect, well we're the ones to blame, as God made it perfect, we just wrecked it.
So i say, i don't need to prove God exists, just look in the mirror, look at a newborn baby, look at nature it reflects God's power and majesty.

Answer 2

During 1800s, Anthropologists had a problem as to
how to classify human beings. One researcher
proposed the expression "intelligent animal".
After advanced studies on monkeys, it was dropped.
Another researcher proposed "tool using animal".
After observing some animals making wooden tools
and sharpening them with knife like stones, it was
dropped. Another researcher proposed "weapon using
animal". A decade ago, a rare film was shot by an
amateur in an African forest. One short monkey was
hit very badly by a big monkey. The short monkey
prepared a wooden knife using stones and hid it on
the top of a tree. After some days, when the big
monkey came to attack the short monkey, it ran up
to the tree for the weapon it has hid and killed
the big monkey. The one thing that the
anthropologists found with any group of human
beings, even if they did not have contacts with
the out side world for thousands of years, has
spirituality with some form of religion. So, man
is a "spiritual animal" if you want to call him
that way.

The Upanishads say that "Manush" (human) was so
named because he has "Manas" a mind higher than
that of the animals which realizes the divinity in
creation. It was present since the creation of
human beings. Religion is the characteristic
feature of most of the human beings. It was not
attained through reasoning using mind. Illiterate
tribes located in inaccessible forests also have
religion. It is as eternal and and as unchanging
as the Almighty. Disbelief by a few will not
affect it.

Religion is not a blind following. It is a sub-consciously driven
group ritual. It calms the 'collective unconscious' mind. The
religious culture brings unity and belongedness among the followers.

Answer 3

I think that the basic evidence that there is a God is that of existence. We cannot explain it scientifically (yet). It would seem that all of these supposed Gods of the hearsay, revealed or faith-based religions disprove themselves by their lack of manifestation in the 21st Century.

However, not being able to prove it, I still believe and think that God is so much greater than anything that can even imagine.

Also, I think that God is benign. This means that prayer to God is fruitless, and interaction by God in the daily affairs of man does not occur.

That's about the best I can do to prove or disprove God's existence.

Ponder this: How can one marvel at the creation of all things great and small and not believe that there is a God?

Answer 4

No I wouldnt. I would be quite happy and content knowing for myself the truth.

I just wanna know how it all started.

Yeah the scientific 'big bang theory'.... "Two atoms were clumped together, and were rubbing causing so much heat that there was a big explosion and the universe started expanding with planets and such in it"..
- What happened BEFORE the atoms were there, how did they get there? What were they contained in?

The religious theory 'god created adam and eve in the garden of eden'
- HOW did god create them? Where did god come from? Was he born? If no, at what point was he 'created'? What was there before god?


I hate it....not being able to know the above questions...

Answer 5

Actually, God can be proven to any person who takes the time to verify it for themselves... since God can be a direct experience for anyone.

Monks, Mystics, and Yogis have been doing it for thousands of years. Without any question, God can be proven by direct experience.

But of course, since it is an inner experience, the one who has had the direct experience cannot share the experience with others... except in some rare cases.

Answer 6

I wouldn't.
Sometimes religion and spirtuality are the only things that get people through a day, just enough faith can change a life.
Similar to that, believing that there isn't a God helps others too. Just because of a fact doesn't mean it's right to change someones belief-and in turn their way of life, in my opinion anyway.

Answer 7

You can't prove a negative, so proving the non-existence of God/gods is a pointless pursuit of an impossible goal. Gods are, by their nature and definition, unknowable in a rational sense, so proving their existence is likewise a pointless pursuit of an impossible goal. All I can do is point out, as many times as I have to, that there is no evidence of the existence of any supernatural force that meets the criteria of science, and that the "evidence" believers point to when challenged is propaganda, hearsay, blatant fraud, or just error-ridden.

Answer 8

Since the concept of 'God' is all based on faith, it would be an exercise in futility. The 'true believers' would go right on believing, and the 'non-believers' wouldn't get much out of it because they already believe what -they- believe. You can't use logic to argue something that's based on personal belief and/or faith. And I've never been real big on wasting my time on futile adventures.

Read: "Roger's Version" by John Updike. The book is a narrative display of the attempt to answer your question.

Answer 10

It has been proven.

But if it needed affirmation I would do it at the drop of a an atom.
