Question

Quizmaster asks: Do you believe in god? Why?
Do you have reasons to back up your point?

I'll leave you guys to vote for it.

Answer 1

No.
The bible is not proof of anything.
There is no evidence pointing to a creator, but rather quite a bit pointing to clearly natural events.

Most people believe because they fear death.

Answer 2

I do not believe in any god. To be honest, i couldn't even make myself. This is harsh but it sounds ridiculous to me but i would never say anything against people who did believe.

I'm into science too much- Dawkins all the way!!
I also get the impression from religion that if science proved an aspect of the bible, then they it would say "look, we even has science on our side" but when science disproves something they say "science has no place in religion anyway". It seems to me religion is a bunch of ideas selected and chosen to support it and the rest is ignored- just like sections from the bible

Science has physical prof of organisms of before man; of the plant being much older than 10, 000 or so years; the big bang; evolution. These theories may not be yet perfected but just because there are gaps in science, doesn't give way for god.

Science is the search for the ultimate truth: it changes, disagrees but also challenges and encourages all aspect of the argument- good science dose not ignore a fact simply because it contradictions other theories.

Answer 3

There are no (absolute) proofs for, or against, the existence of God.

Proof is a tricky word. Many people think that proof establishes something is an absolute fact. That's not often the case; at least, not in the everyday world.

In jurisprudence and science, a reasonable basis for proof is based on solid evidence and the absence of any known contradiction. There's a "reasonable person" standard which defines proof as "beyond a reasonable doubt". The test of time fortifies proofs.

You say there are no unicorns? Prove it. You see? ABSOLUTE proof is an illusion -- especially when trying to prove a negative, such as "There is no God".

However, rephrasing the assertion from "There is no God", to "God is imaginary", makes proof easier, using the "reasonable person" standard. We can't ABSOLUTELY prove it but we can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.

Consider this . . .

No matter where man has spread, he as created countless gods. From aboriginal Australians to tribal Africans to American Indians to ancient Egyptians . . . they've all created gods prolifically and with ease. That man creates gods is a well-known, indisputable fact.

But what about the opposite? God creating man? We DON'T know that he did. We have no evidence that he did. We have no reason to think that he did. All the evidence points to evolution over the course of billions of years. There's growing evidence that life originated from abiogenesis -- from an electro-chemical reaction in the primordial soup of early Earth.

So, with countless thousands of gods to man's credit, believers are in the untenable position of asserting that all the gods that came before and after theirs are false . . . but their own god (and religion) is real and true. Asserting that one's own god is real, when we know that man created all the others, is ridiculous. It is so unlikely that we can safely consider it delusional.

Man has created countless thousands of gods and YOURS (if you believe) has NO evidence. That, my friend, qualifies God’s existence as dubious, at best, and faith in him as misguided and misplaced. Based upon the preponderance of evidence, the assertion that "God is imaginary" meets the reasonable person standard for proof and has withstood the test of time for thousands of years.

Answer 4

Yes, I believe in God. Do I have any proof to back up this belief? No, but that's what faith is. The truth is, no one knows what happens after we die, so we may as well believe what we feel comfortable with, whether you be Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist... We're all wrong to some degree, but it doesn't really matter as long as you believe in something, and that belief guides you and makes you feel as though you're not alone in the universe when your life is in shambles.

Answer 5

I believe in God by personal experience, but I don't believe everything everyone else says about God.

Answer 6

god is not something to believe in. its not a question to wether or not you think god exists or not. god does exist, its visible everywhere you go. its a matter of accepting god.
you can not not believe in god, but you can not accept god.

if it says that god is the reason that we exist, how can you possibly not believe. dont you exist? shouldnt you believe then that god does exist, simply because you do.. sure the "image" of god may be a little wrong, but then again doesnt it say that noone can ever see the image of god? so then if you try, of course you will not see, because it is the unseen.

its not a question about wether god exists or not, its common sense to see that god exists. god is existence. the question is, do you accept god?

Answer 7

I think there is a God, or an intelligent energy that surrounds the universe and created my soul.

Reasons? I have seen the other side, I know we have souls that live on.

The buy-bull is nonsense.

Answer 8

Yes, all one has to do is look around and see all the wonders and beauty of the universe and one cannot believe it was all an accident. Peace

Answer 9

2. I've seen and felt the truth.
3. Like I said, I've seen it and felt it. It's great! It is the ultimate answer.
