"Spotsb4myeyes", your whole essay is a false assumption. You assume that I didn't believe in God for 1, and then you assume that I have a materialistic bias, which is also incorrect. If you didn't catch what I said earlier, I said "This is just a hypothetical question. You think you sound smart, where you actually sound kind of stupid trying to type out a whole fricken essay full of jumping to conclusions. My advice for you is, "Read the question, and don't make assumptions in the future".

*sigh* Lei Al, you're showing the same type of lack of thinking as spots did, look up what the word "Hypothetical" means, and Then get back with me.

I will pray that before this day is over with that you will know Jesus Christ is the Saviour of the world who gave up His life for your sins. I encourage you to accept His free offer of salvation.

The proof is in the Bible. The proof is in the world. See all the lives of people that have been changed by the amazing love and guidance of God. The Bible gives so many examples of the miracles God and Jesus have performed. So many people have been changed by Him. Sometimes, there may not be solid proof available at any time here on Earth. You have to have faith, and with that--- anything is possible. Try to live a life of service and spend time with God and ask him to help you--- the result will be enough proof.
Hope that helped. God Bless You.

Any man who doubts the existence of God is doubtful of his own existence. How can you deny the existence of God if you are convinced of your own? We can't see God in the microscope or in a test tube. God is infinite. The mind of man is too small to measure the infinite Being. Many evidences and arguments suggest God's existence, yet the plain truth is that God cannot be proved by intellectual arguments alone. If the human mind could fully prove God, He would be no greater than the minds that proves Him!

How does one prove the sun will rise tomorrow. We just know it will. I find it hard to believe all this universe just happened by accident. A world/life w/o a God and or an afterlife would be completely meaningless and have know purpose. Peace

You're here posting the same question we get at least 7 times a day, proof enough. Face it, if we weren't created by God, logically, we wouldn't keep getting this question or any number of other repetitious and extremely silly questions.

False assumption: Since the supernatural is impossible or cannot be demonstrated, religions and the history of religions "should be studied apart from all intervention of God." But "it is one thing to abstract the supernatural character from religion and quite another thing to deny the supernatural." Since Christianity claims to be supernatural, it should be investigated as if it were so. Failing to consider this claim, upon which all of Christianity rests, reflects a materialist bias, often presented as "scientific."
St. Thomas (Summa Theologica I:2:3; Cont. Gent., I, xiii) and after him many scholastic writers advance the five following arguments to prove the existence of God:
Motion, i.e. the passing from power to act, as it takes place in the universe implies a first unmoved Mover (primum movens immobile), who is God; else we should postulate an infinite series of movers, which is inconceivable.
For the same reason efficient causes, as we see them operating in this world, imply the existence of a First Cause that is uncaused, i.e. that possesses in itself the sufficient reason for its existence; and this is God.
The fact that contingent beings exist, i.e. beings whose non-existence is recognized as possible, implies the existence of a necessary being, who is God.
The graduated perfections of being actually existing in the universe can be understood only by comparison with an absolute standard that is also actual, i.e., an infinitely perfect Being such as God.
The wonderful order or evidence of intelligent design which the universe exhibits implies the existence of a supramundane Designer, who is no other than God Himself.
Whatever does not exist of absolute necessity - whatever is not self-existent -- cannot exist without a proportionate cause external to itself; and if this principle is valid when employed by the scientist to explain the phenomena of physics it must be equally valid when employed by the philosopher for the ultimate explanation of the universe as a whole. In the universe we observe that certain things are effects, i.e. they depend for their existence on other things, and these again on others; but, however far back we may extend this series of effects and dependent causes, we must, if human reason is to be satisfied, come ultimately to a cause that is not itself an effect, in other words to an uncaused cause or self-existent being which is the ground and cause of all being. And this conclusion, as thus stated, is virtually admitted by agnostics and Pantheists, all of whom are obliged to speak of an eternal something underlying the phenomenal universe, whether this something be the "Unknown", or the "Absolute", or the "Unconscious", or "Matter" itself, or the "Ego", or the "Idea" of being, or the "Will"; these are so many substitutes for the uncaused cause or self-existent being of Theism. What anti-Theists refuse to admit is not the existence of a First Cause in an indeterminate sense, but the existence of an intelligent and free First Cause, a personal God, distinct from the material universe and the human mind. But the very same reason that compels us to postulate a First Cause at all requires that this cause should be a free and intelligent being. The spiritual world of intellect and free will must be recognized by the sane philosopher to be as real as the world of matter; man knows that he has a spiritual nature and performs spiritual acts as clearly and as certainly as he knows that he has eyes to see with and ears to hear with; and the phenomena of man's spiritual nature can only be explained in one way -- by attributing spirituality, i.e. intelligence and free will, to the First Cause, in other words by recognizing a personal God.

I can not give you proof, any more than you can prove God/goddesses/gods do NOT exist. If you want to find God/goddesses/gods that is a personal search that you will have to do. If you want to know what I believe to aid in your search feel free to email me.

I don't think the existence divine being needs to be proved. It's kind of like magic, if you believe in it, it will be real. Trust works the same way.
This is just my opinion.

God keeps the proof to Himself. And it is the proof of Himself. He gave it to me, but will only give it to those who trust Him. So I have the proof, convincing me of Him, but if you want it, you will have to get it from Him.
