can anyone prove that god exists?

Answer 1

Many have tried, including Descartes (I think therefore I am)... The attempts are called Ontological arguments... Many philosophers have disagreed with this method... Here is more detail about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontological_argument

Answer 2

In theism, or a belief in God, it is believed that you could bring your faith to every aspect of life, and find God. This is because the belief encompasses the entire Universe as being created by God. Atheists make the point of science, believing that their belief can also be taken into any subject and that it will still work. Neither is wrong. the problem is when we try to disprove what others believe. We are not all on the same subject, we do not all think of God the same way. Some people love, some hate, nearly all believe something. It is by natural means impossible to decode someones mind, we simply cannot know what they are thinking of. This applies because everyone has different beliefs. Even amongst preists or high ranking athiests, there are discrepencies. Now when these people who do not even unify themselves to believe the same thing, try an take on someone else's beliefs, they could not even have them listen, unless they were lucky. Unless they found the one person with the right discrepency in their belief, the person that was willing to seek another explaination.
It is against common thinking that thiesm and athiesm could agree, but I have come to believe just this. The most commonly accepted theory of the beginning of the universe, is the Big Bang. The Big Bang is the start of the universe, before which nothing existed. So athiests and thiests that believe in the Big Bang, both believe in the same thing, that the universe was created. Athiests take the stand that science did it, thiests take the stand that God made science. Both are right ( I believe ).
If a person believes in determinism, then it is the beginning that has brought them to the belief that they now have. By this, everyone believes as they should. Everyone (by determinism)
is a direct result of the universe's will, it's initial motion that determined that life should be on Earth. And that life (you and me) believe a certain way.
This is my belief. That every belief is the same belief or comes from the same thing. That some say God is the beginning, some say science is. God is science, same thing. Some say we have no free will, some say God gives us our free will. God gives us his free will so that we have free will but it is not ours, same thing. It is my belief, as every good belief has that, I can take my belief into every aspect of my life, and that it will still work.

To answer your question, I will cite a source of whom I am greatly appreciative. Frank Tipler. He is a physicist, who believes that physics can prove God. What made his books (Physics of Immortality, and Physics of Christianity) so different, is the fact that he explained the link between athiesm and thiesm, mainly the christian belief, through physics. He did not disprove athiesm nor did he make it that an athiest must believe in God, what he did was provide is the idea that we could all believe the same thing in different ways. Although he did not come right out and say this, the book was very open to new theories and gave examples of future experiments that could help to establish certain areas of his book (some of these experiments provide a way to back up his theory of certain miracles, many are covered). His books are a truly great subject, physics and religion, I wana be a physicist now!

Some have fought and died with a belief and for a belief in God. Few have lived to be free from the contentions of their faith. And even fewer have lived to be free truley free of the belief without anyone saying so blantently it was wrong, edging for a fight. Thanks to Tipler, I have created a new belief within myself, one that can stand everything I throw at it.

Answer 3

Many have tried, but none have succeeded in proving that God exists. It is unlikely that there will be any logical or philosophical proofs of God's existence.
We as a species have attributed to God the things that are unexplained, mysterious, etc. As our scientific knowledge has increased, fewer and fewer happenstances are attributed to God.
The greatest riddle is why there is existence.
So, if this riddle is solved, then will we have proved the existence of God also?

Answer 4

Can anyone prove that He doesn't? No, I can't prove it, but I feel his presence with me everytime I pray, every time I go to church, every time I'm afraid and call out to Him for strength, and in the angels that watch over me at night.

Answer 5

it doesnt need anyone to prove.. its all depend on ur faith.. do u believe that u live with the help of oxygen? if u can show me i can believe it then... God is there or not.. the bible for christianity, khurran for muslims, bhagwadgita for hindus are the major religions in the world and all of them just to guide the human being how to live with discipline. May be religions, God all made to regulate/guide human beings but faith is important besides all to get peace in mind at the end.

Answer 6

The presence of God cannot be proved, but it can be felt (by those who believe)

Some things in life need not be proved. Rather, faith is all some need.

Answer 7

I am not a believer.....
but even if I were to be a genuine believer, I fail to see why I would care to prove to anyone....... I would be fairly contained in myself with my own genuine faith.

Therefore, we just need to keep our minds open to any possible proof that may come our way in future, rather than ask anyone to furnish a proof........ and meanwhile remember the truth that while we can not believe in the absence of proof, we can not as well decide that no proof can ever surface in future, otherwise we would just be as blind as those whom we consider to be blind-believers.

Answer 8

No, no matter how eloquent and researched the answer. God should not have to prove his existence. God said through the Holy Spirit "Without faith,It is impossible to please him:for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that dilligently seek him." Hebrews 11:6
T4

Answer 9

your question itself contails the proof . u asked " cans anyone prove that "god exists"? here u say " god exists"
and if you say " There is no god" - you r proving that god is there by saying "There is" first .
and if you say "god is no where" - again u r proving that god is there by saying " god is now here" (just re-arrange the spelling)

Answer 10

Why do we need to prove everything? Can't we just accept that some people believe.
