Is there PROOF of a Creator ?

Question

Well ... think about it. As human beings, we have complex physical and emotional needs. All these needs have a corresponding fulfillment. You might say that experience has proved to us that if we NEED something, fulfillment of that need exists somewhere, somehow.

For example, our bodies need nourishment to survive, which proves the existence of food and water.

We need oxygen to breathe, which proves the existance of air.

We need light and warmth, which proves the sun exists.

We desire to procreate, which proves the existence of sex.

We get lonely simply because friendship and community exists.

But even with all these physical and emotional needs satisfied, we STILL feel unfulfilled. Why? Because we have a deeper spiritual need -- a need for God.

And THAT my friend, proves the existence of a Creator.

Answer 1

all you have mentioned is proof, along with the longing to know the spiritual things as well, as complex as every living thing on earth is, and how everything works just perfectly, here on earth and in the universe, that should tell people that it took an intelligent designer to work it all out....every time i see something made just right and working perfectly in it's complexities, living in perfect habitats, with just the right things to survive , i always joke with my husband and say" boy, eveloution sure was smart to think of that huh" and then we laugh at how ridiclous that idea really is. we were watching the nature channel not to long ago, and it was about those fish that live in the deepest parts of the ocean, where no sunlight can reach, and it's pitch black, yet, every one of those fish came equipped with lights on their bodies, how convient, there is an entire array of these beautiful fish that we can't even see without a submrine, and they are all perfectly equipped for their habitat. so how smart of evolution to think of throwing the lights in for them...ridiclous. praise god for all he has made.

Answer 2

No. Your assumptions are false.

The need for something does not prove it's existence. If the sun were to explode and humanity suddenly needed a huge fleet of faster than light spaceships the need for them would not make them pop into existence.

Looking at the world and seeing the number of things we can eat proved the existence of food. Denying someone food and observing the effects proves the fact that we need to eat.

Atmospheric analysis proves that there is air. Putting people into a vacuum or into an oxygen free environment proves that we need oxygen to breathe.

Looking up in the sky proves the sun exists. Spectroscopic analysis and space probes tell us more about it's existence. Putting people into dark cold rooms indicates how much we need heat and light.

We can procreate and do so. That proves the existence of sex.

Being away from other people shows us how we get lonely. Communities and friendships exist for a whole slew of reasons, the prime being that a single human does not have a good chance of survival, whereas a group does.

Many people feel unsatisfied because there are questions that they can not answer. Because the human brain that has evolved to make tools, communicate, solve complex problems and predict possible future outcomes has coincidently given us a huge curiosity, a desire for answers, and the ability to think beyond our existence.

Historically, and even today to a lesser extent, we have been unable to answer some questions satisfactorily, this has allowed people to create myths and legends that 'explain' these things. Today we understand the reality for most of these events and can see that the creation of gods to explain how the world is like it is, is a weak and poor answer.

Answer 3

Yes and I agree with you. Also I think that creation proves the existence of a creator too. If you think about it the beauty of the grand canyon for example couldn't be created by anything but a God it is amazing and I have only seen pictures I can't even imagine seeing the real thing.

Answer 4

Your argument is based on logical fallacy, since you make the assumption that all people have a deep spiritual need for a higher power. I sure don't. I am quite content knowing that I was created from a sperm and an egg and so were my parents' parents all the way back to before humankind differentiated from apes.
Also, your first points go like "We desire X, therefore X must exist." Isn't it possible to desire that which does not exist? Don't little kids desire Santa Claus to bring them presents?

Answer 5

A need for something does not necessarily make that thing real. My Grandmother needs luck from her lucky horseshoe , but I don't think that makes it real.

Correlation does not equal Causation.

Just because something looks and feels real does not make it real .

For so many years , the earth ‘ looked ‘ as though it was stationary , all the available evidence Proved this idea.

In your examples, all those things exist regardless of Mankinds existance.

Answer 6

A spiritual need, if it is fulfilled by any religion, does not prove the necessity of a god. It only proves the need for spirituality.

Answer 7

Could that deeper spiritual need come from fear of death, or fear of the uncertainties of life, hence the need for a heavenly father to look out for the believer? Just a thought.

Answer 8

Really? A feeling is all that is needed to prove the existence of god? I think I am going to need something a little more substantial.

Answer 9

Cannot prove a negative.

Answer 10

Some people feel the strong need to murder and/or rape. Does that make it correct, or justified in any way?

There are many psychological and sociological explanations for people's "craving" for this creator being. Also consider - many millions of people are Buddhists or of a similar religion, and those beliefs are essentially atheistic in nature.
