Many people assume there is a God, how do you know for sure?

Answer 1

No man who ever lived knows any more about the hereafter ... than you and I; and all religion ... is simply evolved out of chicanery, fear, greed, imagination and poetry.
~Edgar Allen Poe

Answer 2

I guess you could say that so far I've taken the chance to believe and it has given me a great life. Why doubt and try to change something that is working for you. My faith is very strong and in my eyes, God proves He is for sure. Yes, it is all of the majestic beauty and amazing life I see around me that enforces me to believe the way I do but it is also from what I am feeling within the deepest part of my soul that makes me know for sure. I feel God. I am very tuned in with getting answers He is giving me. This is how I know for a fact that He exists. I grew up in a home where both of my parents did not believe. I always have. I don't belong to a religion and I don't go to church and I don't have anything against anyone that finds God in their way, but the only thing I have ever gone on, is that I feel Him. There are things I don't understand or know about and that's OK I'll keep learning about God until the day I die and beyond. He knows, what I know in my heart. Do I know exactly how the Bible was written and understand it all? No. I do know a lot and I think what I do know, is OK with God. I have learned a lot of lessons and have many more to go, but the most important part is love. Love Him and know that He is real and that you are trying to allow Him to show you what life is all about. Without Him, you'll never get the message. It's a knowing. I hope this made sense to you. Take care.

Answer 3

Two third majority of world population out of over 6 billions believe there is a God who created this world. They only have to agree which one is the real God.

How can they all be wrong and few atheists are right.
If you look around yourself and think what you see, you will have to agree that some one has created the perfect system on this earth that support the life on this planet. For example

Water, Oxygen, Oceans, Mountains, rivers, Sun, Moon, Winds, Day, Night, Cooler nights, hot-er days, titled angle of earth and if earth was flat instead of round, and if Earth
didn't circle and stayed still in front of sun.

Here is food for thought and tell me what will happen if one of the following disappears from the ecology of earth what will happen and will the living things survive on this planet?

Now think and tell us it is possible that all these life supporting things happen to evolve by themselves?

Answer 4

To me, a significant study of just about anything in our material world leads to the question of design or chance. I am also not entirely sold on the word design. What single word could be used to symbolize "causes to be"? The order and structure of it, everything, seams to perfect. What would Vegas odds be on us just happening out of star dust or if you prefer material elements in the known universe? When I say us, I not only mean the physical us but, the mind of us also. According to a Noble Prize winner for Medical science, Gerald M Edelman M.D., Ph. D, if we started counting every connection or synapses in our brain at the rate of one per second we would finish in 32 million years. It’s not just the number that is amazing but each synapse may be used for an untold number of purposes. Exactly how the third party experience of the remembered present arises from this biological system is a matter that far brighter and further educated minds than mine are convinced is the most significant challenge for science. I am further convinced that to study any branch of science will lead you to the same question. Religion is defined as a means of reconnecting to God. I am not sure that any of the organized Religions hasn't lost its goal and replaced it with petty human social functions and dogma. However, I do take solace in the fact that, for me, this life is not random and has significance, which significance is for me to determine.

Thanks for the question.....

So the one line answer to your question is this; there are significant unknowns that are currently beyond our ability to understand via science and may forever be beyond our ability, I gave that a name...."God" and in him I find complete love and understanding.

Answer 5

You need to think as if you have no knowledge of the universe around you. Like St Thomas Aquinas (two posts above). But, his excuse was that he lived in the 1200's and there wasn't a lot of science then.

now we know better.

Answer 6

simple. If you follow the simple rule of the bible. It says we first must "believe" in order to understand, not the other way around. I know their is a God, and I talked to him just this morning, and I thanked him that I had the money to repair my car today. I offer him also, my questions and answers for his glory as an act of love for him, and to make me worthy to love him as I aught.GOD EXISTS, HE LIVES HE IS HERE RIGHT NOW AMONG US!! HE DID NOT LEAVE US ORPHANS

Answer 7

I think many people assume ther is not a God. I have many friends who dont know God at all . I am so plesed to know our Father.

Answer 8

There is no way to know "for sure" if there is a God. Ultimately, this decision must be made upon faith.

Answer 9

The same reason I know there's no Santa Clause. I don't know *for sure*, but there's a vast difference between improbable and impossible.

Answer 10

Religious people will say there is a god because they have faith that he is real.

The truth of the matter is that there is no physical evidence to show that god is real. If god is real and all-powerful then he should have no problem of showing himself to the whole world.

Answer 11

The Holy Spirit lives in me. That's how I can tell.
If you accept Jesus into your heart, you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. He is the One who testifies to the Truth.
