What is one thing that makes u certain that god does exist?

Question

Don't say it's bible or s-h-i-t like that... I'm after a good logic that makes an atheist like me to wonder...

ok i am after an explanation of how this whole perfect system came into existence?

Answer 1

When you look at the cosmos, the vastness is too much to grasp. Science can't explain how it came to be. They can explain what state it was at once but they can't seem to find an origin.

Now I am an intelligent being, you are also. Even the little bugs are intelligent, they have free will. Any living being has free will, do you see anything out there in space that has free will?

So, if you and I are the most intelligent beings in the Universe then that is just ridiculous. There's got to be something more intelligent than us (a higher being), something that made all this in perfect order.

Answer 2

Really what type of definition are you giving to "god". If its someone sitting in the heavens watching us eventually going to judge us for our life of sin. Its almost illogical by the concept. But my perception of god is the life of the world, how it all works as one huge perfect system, just like a human body. Each and every person, animal, plant were created for the sole purpose to live. I believe there is a god but it isn't a being of superior power over the world but god is the world, and the process on which keeps us living on.

Answer 3

I don't think anyone is certain. Belief does not mean certainty. Belief means "to hold as true" . I hold that God exists because I want to know the One who created me and I have to believe He exists in order to seek Him. I don't know for sure, but I do know for sure that life has no purpose and no meaning without God and that according to this noted atheist:

“Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” –Bertrand Russell

I think my Creator is of infinite worth so I am logically justified in seeking Him even though I am not certain He even exists. Worth is the deciding factor. I seek God because I want to find Him; others reject God because they don't want Him in their lives.

Not to be caustic, I hope, but I think your question is designed to justify a decision that you have already made based on your idea of the worth of God. If we can't prove God exists, then you feel more justified in rejecting Him.

"ok i am after an explanation of how this whole perfect system came into existence?" Isn't this just another attempt to justify a decision you've already made? If no one can prove God created the universe, you're justified in rejecting God?

Answer 4

Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

Answer 5

The same Franciscan William of Ockham who invented "Ockham's Razor," famously said that there is no theological argument for, nor scientific proof of, God's existence, but that he must be accepted on faith alone.
Faith is what is used in place of missing knowledge. Therefore, no one can be "certain" God exists--not even Ockham.

Answer 6

It is virtually impossible to prove something does not exist.

Answer 7

Do you honestly think this all came about through coincidence?
