Is there proof God exists?

Question

Hmm?

No Bible Verses please, The Bible counts as a biased source!

Soo Christians basically gamble with their entire lives? Like walking blind through a fog!

Each baby was made with a sperm and an egg, not God!

Answer 1

Is there proof? Yes.

Is there proof you're willing to accept? Probably not.

Answer 2

If you're looking for scientific, factual evidence then you won't get it as God is a non-scientific, personal being; I mean, we're both intelligent people and if there was any complete evidence we'd both have the same opinion. Conversely there is no evidence to suggest otherwise in terms of science.
Your best bet for other philosophical, logical 'evidence' and a balanced study into what true Christians actually believe would be to read 'Mere Christianity' by C.S.Lewis, who used to be an Atheist and so has intensely studied the issues you have raised. I would discuss this further but I have found out by bitter experience that many Atheists tend to not understand some of the issues raised when discussing topics such as 'faith' (no disrespect to you). If you keep on seeking with an open mind you will find the truth even if it takes you your entire life time. Good luck.

First, there is no intelligent power how could we have arisen randomly from chaos? It would be like saying that Mount Rushmore was formed because a hurricane blew through the area.

Even archaeologists recognize the work of an intelligent mind-when they see a statue, they don't say, "Oh, this must be a natural rock formation."

Second, a mathematician did a study and found out that the probability of all the amino acids arranging themselves to make even a living thing would be one in 10^378, which is ridiculously improbable. (Gerald L. Schroeder, The Science of God, Chapter 7)

Therefore there is an intelligent power.

Answer 4

No. Its all based on faith. Anyone who says there is proof would be arguing from ignorance. Arguing from Ignorance is when someone says something like- there are gaps in the evolutionary chain, and instead of thinking, theres still a lot in evolution that we still have to discover- they say- it must be God! The God of the Gaps Theory.

Its like people who decide that the noises in the house aren't just the house settling or the pipes making noises- its ghosts! They have no scientific investigation performed instead they call the ghost hunters,lol, they have no proof but they go straight to "it must be a spirit".

Miracles are just the faithfuls idea of proof. Check out the worlds leading paranormal investigator- Joe Nickell (who has been doing paranormal investigating for 35 years) Every single supposed psychic occurrences or "miracles" that he has ever been given access to- he has been able to disprove. FOR 35 YEARS, he has never investigated something that ended up being the "real thing".

Answer 5

Yes, but you can't have it. I mean....

For all people of faith for time out of mind the proof that God exists has been that in following the religion in which you were brought up, and for the most part you remained ignorant of all other religions, you experience spirituality and yourself the way the religion said you would. The language, the culture, the rituals, the images all guide and give expression to this experience.

But what if you have no language for it? I mean, what if you are postmodern and have been exposed to other religions and other perspectives and you either have no traditional religious context or you can no longer go on subscribing to the one in which you were raised. What then?

The Source is available beyond all our words about It. The best way to experience for yourself is to meditate and let your ego slide away. Either repeat the word "ohm" or the word "amen" (which serve the same purpose) and focus on it and your breathing. At a certain point in practicing this quieting of the mind you will cease to exist as a separate entity (your ego will fall away). The boundless energy and connection you feel, which is all consuming and both inside and out, is what we call God and soul and is objectively verifiable in this way.

Answer 6

There is no cast iron proof - otherwise there would not be so many religions in the world and religions would not be called Faith and Belief.
It is not only Christians that believe in God, but also Jews and Muslims and some others religions.
Those that have 'found' God have no doubt that he exists and the proof for them is the way their spiritual enhancement has improved their lives.
No one should sneer at another persons beliefs. Just as there is no cast iron proof he exists, there is no proof he doesn't.

Answer 7

God exists because anything with a name must definitely exist.But He is bodiless so cannot do anything in the Spirit form except He takes a body.
God exists in the form of light or a star but incarnates so as to have organs to speak. The difference between human beings and God is that while we go through the cycle of birth and death(reincarnation) He incarnates into an old, ugly and dirty body to enable Him to speak.

Answer 8

Depends on how you define "God". Personally, when I use the word I am referring to the Creator. As such, Creation is proof of a Creator. In other words, you are left with two choices. Either there is a Creator who Created everything in the physical universe or everything in the physical universe created itself. We have no proof of that either.

Therefore, our science cannot help us. There is no proof that the physical universe is capable of self-creation and there is no proof that there is a Creator. The idea of a Creator who is of another dimension or reality of some sort who is not bound by the constraints of the physical universe seems far more likely to me.

Remember, before someone invented the microscope, we did not know that microbes existed. That does not mean that they did not exist. Absence of proof is not proof of absence.

Answer 9

YES, Halo 3! ;)

Proof? No. If we had proof all we would have is knowledge not faith. There is no choice in proof.

However, faith is not, and shouldn't be blind. There is plenty of evidence if you're willing to find it.

I certainly hope you're not dismissing the Bible without having done any research into its validity.

Also, non believers are the ones doing the gambling.

Answer 10

No. And for the believers who don't see the atheist's point of view, i ask you this, why would you believe in god yet you don't believe in other possible gods? What makes you more right than Muslims? or Jews? Believers calling people who don't believe in your god arrogant is the most ironic thing i have ever heard. If i told you god does not exist and you shrug me off, that is just as "arrogant" as i am when i say i don't believe in your god.
I don't believe in a god or gods in that matter, but i do believe in religion, but i dont think people should think into religion so much that it causes hate amongst man. It does not bother me, if you believe in one god or another, but if your influence affects others, i think there is a problem.
Believers who say that there is proof yet it is not proof that we would accept, than how is that proof? Atheists don't ask for much , just a small piece of sold evidence is enough.
Yes the wind blows and we feel it. Yes we throw up a rock and it comes down which is caused by gravity. But to say that god exists in a system which we can only feel is not proof that GOD exists, Back 1000 years ago, when you throw a rock up in the air who do you think people thought would bring it back down to earth? obviously "god" would bring it back. But we now know that god doesnt bring down gravity brings it down. Science has shown where gravity comes from. But then believers would ask, ohh so where does mass come from? Then scientists go through the pain staking work of proving the theory of atoms, building blocks of matter. It just goes on and on, believers will believe what they believe and continue to ask well if X comes from Y then where did Y come from? and the scientist will continue to try and find out while believers will contine to believe Y comes from god, until proven otherwise. Look at the theory of evolution, it battled some 70 years of critisism and after when it seemed like it was finally accepted, those fundamentalists try to fit their god into the picture to try and suit them better. With that came the whole new debate of the original theory of evolution and intelligent design and yet who brings up these nonsensical debates? The only people who should have the right to challenge these theories are scientist with a BETTER theory, and NO fitting god into a theory does not make it better. Like i said, i have no problems with what you believe in, but if your influence is so great that you teach your children that the theory of evolution is a fairy tale and that god created everything in 6 days then I have a problem with it. Its like the scientist are in court trying to defend themselves against a ridiculous charge and everytime they prove their innocence, another even more ridiculous charge is put on them and this cycle just goes on and on.
Just lay back, believe what you believe and let the scientists continue their research and understanding to make YOUR life better, who loses out in this situation?

Answer 11

There was a time i thought no way,but since that time, iv`e changed my mind.Proof? well just look around,or did all that is,just appear from no where.There is an abundance of all we need on this planet, its just those that are greedy and selfish causing all the problems,its about time us ordinary people did something about it,its amazing what a difference each one of us can make,we can refuse to be like the above for a start.We can be kind,helpful,generous ect ect ect,its amazing how good it feels to make someones day,and it also has a knock on affect.
