does God exits? is there proof?

Question

if God created us then does that mean he created the dinosaurs that we've discovered, the stars, the planets, and the Universe too? if he exists then why is there wars, diformed children and adults, starving children, and suffering? why is he watching us suffer? shouldn't he do something to help us? then God must not exist because he isn't doing anything about it to help the people he created. and there should be proof he exists. right?

i know there is a bible but someone somewhere wrote that bible. and it doesnt mean God wrote it.

Answer 1

No proof outside of your mind, and there never will be. The 'proof' is your choice. If you believe, God exists. Deny God, and God does not exist to you.

However, you might still exist to God ;)

Answer 2

Some people think there must be a god by looking at the things in nature and a how a living body works in all its intricacies (exact details). Then others ask as you did why a god who is supposed to be so cool can let all the horrendous things happen. The bible even tells stories of how the innocent first born babies were taken from their mothers and killed.

These are all good questions. Now think about if there really was not a god and that things that happen are just natural and that evil people do those horrendous things. That life took billions of years to evolve and through that evolution sh** happens. I think it is the latter.

Answer 3

This same question creeps in on a regular basis.

Yes, God created us, He also created the dinosaurs, and he even created the stars, the planets and the universe too - DUH!

There is a problem of suffering on this planet because men reject God's rightful authority and rebel against Him.

People push God out of the picture, then can't understand why all that is left is evil and suffering!

So, my question to you is, are you part of the solution and you obey Jesus and have quit rebelling against His authority? Or are you still part of the problem, living for Self instead of for God?

And He IS doing something about it - He sent ME to tell YOU to repent and quit being part of the problem!

Now, why do you criticize God for not doing anything about it, but then criticize Him for doing something by sending the flood and getting rid of all the evil? That's rather hypocritical of you!

And how do you get off judging God in the first place? Do you sit on the edge of eternity and look at the universe as though it were a globe in the palm of your hand while still watching every detain and keeping everything running smoothly? What kind of arrogance you must have!

You remind me of a neutrino shot out of the neutron of an atom in your shoulder, and in the fraction of a second of it's existence, it criticizes you! Like I said, nothing but arrogance!

When you've lived a few billion years, when you've visited a few million galaxies, when you've had to govern an entire universe, THEN come back and tell me what God is doing wrong!!!

Answer 4

All the bad things in this world exist because God gave us freewill and we choose to turn from God. God gave freewill not just to the good people.

The reason God doesn't just snap his fingers and make everything perfect is because he is waiting. He is giving everyone the opportunity to turn from sin. We read in the Bible that God is not willing that any should perish.

God is a god of mercy and love but he is also a god of righteousness and justice. God is so perfect that he can not even look upon sin. That is why God sent his son Jesus to take our place, to take on the sins of the world. All we have to do is believe that Jesus Christ was God, he died for all the wrong things we have done, and three days later he was raised from the dead.

One day God will set every thing right but he is waiting. he is holding off his judgment to give everyone a chance to come to him.

As far as proof of God goes you can look at the Messianic Prophesies. They were written years and years ( many hundreds of years ) before Jesus was born yet he fulfilled everyone of them. The odds of anyone man being able to do that are astronomical, especially considering many were not under his control.

Secondly, I am going to assume you believe that their was a historical person named Jesus and that he claimed to be God and was crucified.

We can start with Jesus' apostles. They were just ordinary men, fisherman, tax collectors, etc. and when Jesus was arrested they were terrified of being arrested and tortured as well. So what did they do? They ran away.

3 day later something happened to change these men from cowering in a back room to the most bold, courageous, zealous men the world has ever seen.

All but one was tortured and killed for what they claimed and they never once denied or changed their story that Jesus Christ was the son of God and that he was crucified for our sins and was raised from the dead 3 days later.

Why would they die for a lie?

Likewise, Paul was a very educated man and he hated Christians so much that he got permission from the Jewish leaders to hunt down Christians in other cities. Yet something happened to Paul to completely change his thinking to become the most out spoken of the apostles with the most zeal. He wrote most of the New Testament.

Paul never made a fortune, he didn't live in luxury, in fact he was ship wrecked, stoned, beaten, and imprisoned. So why would he still proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord?

Some people say that Jesus wasn't really dead and he just woke up. If you are familiar with Roman crucification that didn't happened. They made sure you were dead. Also, if he had simply woke up a half dead messiah that died later wouldn't have emboldened the apostles.

Some people also claim that they simply went to the wrong tomb but if that was the case why didn't the Jewish leaders simply produce Jesus' body? That would have put a quick end to their claims of a risen Christ.

Some people also claim that the apostles stole the body so that they could claim Jesus had risen. This again doesn't explain why they would die for a lie or how a bunch of men who only days before ran away terrified could suddenly have the courage to take on armed, trained roman soldiers guarding the tomb.

Belief in God does require faith but it is not a blind faith.

If you want more proof I would be happy to share more just let me know but it is 2 in the morning and this is already pretty long.

Answer 5

The existence of God is something one picks up on intuitively. This is a spiritual sense, that not all people have well developed, especially in this overly materialistic, overindulged society we live in. Life is suppose to be a struggle. We are faced with a lot of problems to overcome. We are not doing a very good job of addressing them. So a lot of ugly situations, exist in this world. God is the universal spirit that hold this universe together as one. God represents constructive energy and harmoious energy. God can guide us and inspire us. But, we are left to deal with our own problems and challenges. These challenges are capable of bringing out the best in human potential, if we develop ourselves spiritually, so that we are up to the challenge. Traditional Religions are not doing a good job. We need the latest in good spiritual ideas, and training techniques, to strenghten the human spirit, so that it will make the neccessary sacrifices, and do the hard work required, to transform this world for the better.

Answer 6

Here is some food for thought. When we hear, smell, feel, see, and taste our brain takes electrical messages and then creates our experience. The brain also creates our dreams. Dreams seem very real when we are experiencing them, yet they are not "real". Is it then possible that our brain simply creates our "reality" and that it does not actually exist. Science has been unable to prove that what we experience as reality actually exists.

With that said. Even if the above is true (and I do not claim that it is) there must still exist some energy that makes it all possible. Is it God? Maybe.

I think that God is a human attempt to explain something that is too difficult for us to wrap our heads around.

Hope this offends no one. It is simply intended to provoke some thought. The best way to confirm our convictions about anything (including God) is to have those convictions challenged from time-to-time.

Thank you.

Answer 7

You would have to take a theology class or two to even dig into the questions you have asked. But I'll take a stab at it and see how far I get.

Is there proof God exists? Yes, and no. Some could say the universe's existence, the laws that govern it and hold everything together point to an intelligent creator. Others might say those things are just coincidences of nature and have nothing to do with Deity.

Some point to wars and say that God couldn't exist because otherwise He would intervene and stop them. Others reply by saying God gifted man with the freedom of choice and will not violate that choice even to prevent the slaughter of millions of people by man's own hand.

I am left with the conclusion that one must accept, or not accept, the existance of God by faith. I cannot prove His existance with "facts," though I could logically deduce His existance. Likewise, by faith I could say that I cannot see God and therefore He does not exist, but it would be a measure of faith because I cannot also see air, atoms, black holes, etc.

In my own life I have experienced God. That experience galvanizes my faith and demonstrates to me His existence. Is that proof? To me it is, though it may not by the type of proof you are looking for.

Answer 8

Well, this is an issue long debated in my mind. Some days, I think to myself, "God is great," but on others, I say, "There is no God." The simple answer is that it is all up to you. There is no proof, and there is no proof that a deity somewhere does not exist. It is simply your stance and what you believe to be true. The Bible is what some may see as proof, but it truly isn't. The Bible is not a text book, it is a religous manuscript. Whether you see it as fact or fiction is purely up to you.

Answer 9

There should be proof if god exists, but there is none. You cannot use the fact that a bible exists to prove the "facts" stated in the bible. There is no sky pixie. Do you believe in Zues, or Poseidon, or Thor? Now believe in one less. Nothing changes. Religion was created by man for a particular purpose, that purpose is now obsolete.

Answer 10

No one knows for sure if there's a God, but regardless of whether or not there is one, just be a good person, therefore, you're fine no matter what happens. If you look at life from a scientific perspective, it is believed that there is no God, but again, science doesn't have all of the answers. Just for the record, I am an atheist for I believe that religion and the belief of a higher power are nothing but contradictory. Either way, we all are going to die, no one, not even your deepest crush is going to overcome death. With that said, try not to worry about it so much and enjoy the one life you do have. Of course, always continue to ask questions and search for answers (isn't that what life is about anyway?).

Answer 11

God did create everything. We may not know how, but we do know that He created all.

There are wars , suffering, starvation, and bad things in the world because we live in a world where we can choose. We (humans) can choose to do good, or we can do bad. We can choose to be selfless and loving, or selfish and hateful. We can choose to make peace, or we can choose to make war.

He "watches us suffer" because He made us with the ability to choose. We reap our own consequences. God does not make us do anything against our will. He made us to love Him, but to choose to do so.

Think about this: If you made your spouse "love" you, would it really be love at all? You would have a very shallow relationship, and the deep down truth is that your spouse may not love you at all, but be submissive because they have to.

God does do many things to help us, unfortunately, we don't see many of them because we are so focused on ourselves. It is easy to explain away miraculous things that contridict what we wish to believe, but the truth will always stand as it is.

Proof that God exists? Plenty. Unfortunately, it doesn't get much media. But for starters, if you believe in evolution and the big bang, explain how it started. Where did the mass come from? Where did the energy to "ignite" the bang come from? How did the two mix? Explain the theories with facts. Not with hypotheses or theories. Facts. Scrutinize your theory and see if it really is true. The whole idea is to find the truth. If you search hard enough, you will find it.

email me at [e-mail] for any other questions, evidences, or anything else. I would enjoy the opportunity to discuss this more with you.

P.S. The Bible was written by over 40 men in the span of appx 1500 years. Look at the historical facts. It's dead on with history. That's how we know it is for real, unlike the Qu'ran and other books.
