HELP ME Become A Believer In GOD Again?

Question

All I know right now is that I simply don’t know if there is a god or not I just assume there isn’t any. That’s why I consider myself an atheist. My attitude towards god is the same as my attitude towards UFOs, Unicorns, ferries, Ghosts, Psychics, Santa, The Easter bunny.

I don’t believe in the existence of God for the same reason I don’t believe in the things I just mentioned above. Evidence.

But there are miracles right?

For me a true miracle is the ultimate evidence that there is something out there

So what I’m asking you for is to provide me with Evidence of acts of God such as miracles. Find me information about miracles or other supernatural events that have been scrutinized by the scientific community and deemed as out of this world.

I’m an open minded person. My mind is open but not so open that my brain will fall out.

PS: Personal anecdotes wont do I need evidence

Hopefully you will help me get my faith back. Peace.

And what the heck, if you help me ill give you’ll get 10 points

BELIEVING THAT GOD IS REAL IS NOT GOING TO MAKE HIM REAL. I NEED EVIDENCE AND THE ONLY EVIDENCE I CAN THINK OF ARE MIRACLES.

Answer 1

I'll give you evidence directly from a whole bunch of doctors, my doctors.

Last September I was hospitalized at Winter Park Memorial Hospital in Winter Park Florida. That's on the north edge of Orlando.

A cat scan found a mass or a tumor in my insides where it did not belong. The next day a colonoscopy verified that the mass was there.

I went back just yesterday for another test, now that I've been praying for Jesus to heal me and asking all my friends to ask Jesus to heal me and the doctors said that the mass is not there anymore.

That test was done about 26 hours ago.

I've been home from that test less than 24 hours ago.

I've been healed and that was and is a miracle.

PS: If you'd like to talk about it, let me know.

PPS: I'd also like to tell you about a miracle more than 500 people witnessed.

Proof of God? I am not sure I can give you that. But I can point out that science has failed to give an origin of life. I am excluding abiogenisis as it still doesn't prove that life can come from nothing, only that complex amino acids can be created in theory and only in a vaccuum. The spark of life has to come from something else.
Following evolution and Darwin's survival of the fittest we can see that only attributes that are beneficial survive. A white rabbit in the Arctic survives while a brown one stands out and gets eaten by predators. So most Arctic Rabbits are white. But the more complex traits, like why does your blood clot, takes some air out of the sails. If the clotting feature, platelets, were to develop on their on then the blood would solidify in our bodies and we would be dead. So our bodies have antibodies and compounds in it that stop the platelets from forming clots until they are exposed to the open air. The skin arouns a would heals, not by random growth of cells, but by designed growth patterns that keep us from having to have excess skin removed every couple of days. Our bodies are minor things in the complexity of the universe but it is something that I know a little about and it is complex enough to make my head hurt. All this complexity had to have some design involved.
As for faith, I like to think that there is a plan. I have no idea what the plan is, but I believe there is one. If there is no plan and no greater scheme of things, then why are we here? What does it matter what we do? Atheist believe that everything happened accidentally and we have evolved from something less then we are. That is stronger faith than most Christians or other religious people have. We at least have an idea where we started and why we are here.
Every birth is a miracle. Can you take two seperate strands of DNA and make them one, then cause them to grow into a breathing living being? Maybe the first part, DNA manipulation isn't really that difficult with science today. But the life issue always comes back to bite you. Noone can replicate life. It is a force we do not understand. It is also something we tend to take for granted. God loves you, no matter what you believe. He made you exactly the way you are and understands doubt. I spent 33 years doubting Him.
Peace to you. I pray that you find the answer you are looking for.

Answer 3

Here's something you can try. Ask God a question in your thoughts about some problem you are facing right at this time in your life. And then be on the look out for His response, it can come from another person, a street sign a movie preview or a T.V. show anything or everything is in His control and He does use whatever He wants to answer you.
You will know it is Him answering you because it will pertain to your dilemma and you will feel conformation in your heart. But don't stop there just keep asking Him and He will keep answering.
Take care and may God bless you spiritually.
P.S. I don't care about the points,only about your relationship with our AWESOME Creator.

Answer 4

The problem with your specific request of getting your faith back is that you said you wanted "information about miracles...that have been scrutinized by the scientific community and deemed as out of this world."

The problem with your search is that the Scientific community will NEVER deem something out of this world. The Scientific community seeks natural casuation and assumes that everything can be explained through natural means. Therefore the Scientific community will never say that something is Super-scientific or Supernatural or "out of this world." They will say that they can not explain how something happend or why nature acted in that way, etc, etc.

I believe the current issue of Reader's Digest cover story is 5 miracles. But I am not sure if these are medical miracles or what exactly they are referring to.

One instance that happened to somone I dearly loved, was an elderly lady by the name of Loudale Garrett who had a terrible fall and literally poked her eye out after he glasses gouged it. A good friend of mine happen to be working as a surgicial nurse when she came into surgery and held Miss Garrett's eye in her hand and helped the doctor put her eye back into place and literally put the eye back together. The Doctor said she will be blind in that eye and will probably have to remove the eye. Two days after her surgery she could see light out of her eye and distguinsh shades of people in the room. The doctor himself, who is a non-believer said, I don't know how this happened, I guess this is one of those times you have to say it was a miracle. The surgical nurse friend said that when he said this her jaw dropped on the floor because he almost always has an explanation or some sorts but this was the first time she ever heard third this doctor refer to any unlikely (or impossible to explain) occurence as a miracle.

Answer 5

I went to a revival with my church group a few months back, and there was this little girl there with severe psoriasis. Her head was so crusty and her scalp so damaged that the top of her head was bald. Her parents took her up to the altar and asked God to heal her. Within an hour, the psoriasis was gone and she even had hair on her head.

I know you don't want personal anecdotes, but it's through personal experience that one learns about God's miracles.

Before I joined the church mentioned above, I was a severe alcoholic for several years...drinking a fifth of Vodka everyday, taking speed, destroying my life. I tried AA, counseling, medications...nothing worked. I had decided that if there was a God, He had dissed me because I was such a loser.

Then I decided to try one more counseling center to see if they could offer something different. Today, I'm so glad I walked through those doors! They sent me to a church that offered a Christian Intervention Program, and I figured, "What the heck, I have nothing to lose." I started going to their classes, and one day I decided to try their church service. When the pastor told all of us to come up to the altar and tell God about our needs, I went up there and asked God to restore my faith and help me become the person He meant for me to be. When I left the service, I was shaking and crying and I felt...different.

I haven't had a craving for alcohol or any other drug since, and that was 7 months ago. Now if those aren't miracles, I don't know what is.

Answer 6

Hi! Maybe this is what you are looking for....I'm not Catholic, but they seem to be very strict about declaring something a miracle and require scientific evidence. I found a website that gives evidences of this at http://www.geocities.com/meta_crock/other/Miracles4.htm.....
I'm sure there must be similar websites. I went to ask.com and typed in "scientific proof of miracles". I hope this helps. If you are sincerely searching for your faith, it will happen.
As it says in (Matthew 7:7) Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Answer 7

Sorry, but I don't understand why you won't take a personal account as evidence? In every court of law in the world, a person's eye-witness account is accepted as evidence.

And yes, there are miracles, but any miracle I tell you will require somebody's personal testimony. I could tell you about a miracle I experienced myself that is documented in medical records, though I cannot give you the medical records because the doctor who recorded the events is long since retired and deceased. But would you accept that? Or would you just cast it aside as a worthless personal anecdote?

Answer 8

I was an atheist, steeped in the school systems ideology of evolutionary teachings that by their accounts, the universe was formed with the big bang some 6 billion years ago when I was in shool to know 10 billion years. I grew up in the form of mental training that evolutionists were right and Christians were deluded idiots, when science had proven without doubt that everything evolved just they way they said it, I lived that type of lifestyle until I had an encounter with the Living God, who revealed Himself to me, I felt that I was bathed in liquid fire, and saw God afar off knew that what hell was, and I also knew who God was that my journey to him began. Today I am born again Christian, filled with the Spirit of God, taking courses to become a minister for the glory of God in Christ, by His power and by His transforming power to change people from sinners to saints from saints to empowered disciples to win others to Him. Have a blessed day.

Answer 9

Faith cannot be proven. That is why it is faith. It is unseen and unsure. It is hope and it is a blessing. I have no hard evidence for miracles or the existence of God. However, hundreds of stories from all over the world tell of miraculous events drawing people to focus on God and Jesus Christ.
Christianity is not a feeling, it is a commitment. Believe in Him and confess your sins and you will be saved.

Answer 10

Some Wicked Priest once said 'Seek and you shall find.' Nobody can find your faith for you. Neither can it be found in the illusory world of things around us, none of which is real. It has to be an act of free will and a sincere desire of the heart, otherwise, it just don't work, my friend.
