can you prove the existence of god without using any faith based reasoning or the bible (aka only scientific reasons). This was attempted in a debate by Dateline NBC and it failed miserably.

Scientific method for proving anything calls for three conditions to be met:
- Predictability
- Observability
and
- Repeatability
As a Creationist, I'll point you to any hospital, zoo, or anywhere else. My hypothesis is that when two of a species mate the offspring will be of the same species.
This assertion is predictable, it is observable, and it is repeatable.
Evolution says that when two of a species mate, there is an astronomical chance that the offspring will be of a different species. That occurence is unpredictable, it is unobservable, and unrepeatable. Evolution does not satisfy even one of these scientific method criteria, much less all three.
Therefore, if evolution did not occur, the only other alternative is a creation, and creation, by its very nature, mandates the need for a creator and we call that creator God.
Therefore, using the scientific method, God does exist.
For those of you that hate science, please give me a "thumbs down".

Yes, the Jew. read what Mark Twain an atheist said:
"If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of star dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvellous fight in the world, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?" Mark Twain
It was in Twain's day and is today a proven scientific fact that the Jews/Israel still exist . It is scientific because it is observeable.
The fact that God promised that the Jews would forever stand before him as a people, and the fact that thjey are still here is very compelling proof that God exists.
Here is just one instance in the Bible that God promises this.
Jeremiah 31:35 -36 Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
Telling a Judeo/Christian believer in God that he can not use God's book to prove his point is ridiculous. The very existance of the Bible is also compelling evidence . How did this book stay preserved for thousands of years? Prove to me there is not a God by the same standard and you will fail even more miserably than the phony Dateline debate.

I think that is the problem with the world, you want to prove everything through science. If someone has a brain tumor and it is seen on the x-ray and then a month later it is gone, you want to scientifically prove why it's gone.
God cannot be proven through ANY science. God is and will forever be. If you don't want to believe, that is your choice, I would not belittle myself to prove that God exists through science. God made science! He is above all in His ways and thoughts. Either you believe it or you don't. But there will be a day when all you can call on is God and I am sure that you won't try to find a science to figure out why He is the only way.

We don't call all Christians Fundies. Only the ones who profess Fundamentalist beliefs. Sometimes, I guess it can be insulting. So can being told that I am going to hell because I am not a Christian. Get over it. The word fundie is in no way like the "N" word. Not at all. That is a cheap generalization on your part.

No one can prove gods existence, only you. Try taking with him, get by yourself and really talk to god, and see what happens. The results may shock you. Read the poem,"Foot Prints In the Sand" or it may be just "Foot Prints" for some insight. Or the Pilot that reached out and touched the face of god. He inspired me to write a Gold winning Poem "The Light" and a song, "If God Came Knocking" One last thing, who do you owe your many blessings in life to ?

The proof you seek may only come from God... no mortal can "prove" God to any one... I am of The True Christian Faith and I would not even attempt to "prove" God to you. I will answer your questions, to the best of my ability... but... if God does not want you to know The Truth then you will not understand any of what I might try to say to you about the God stuff.... when God wants you to know The Truth He will let you know... you will be free,of course, to reject it... but that would be your loss... and there would be nothing I could say to you at that time to change your mind.... the ultimate relatiolnship of God to His people is one-on-one and personal.... you need to deal with him alone... I can help in some ways... but it is up to you to come to God as He prescribes... feel free to email me if you have any questions concerning the God stuff.... one honest question will receive one honest answer.

you expect me to believe I came from ooze, that came from matter, that came from energy that came from...oh, wait! You say it was here along, like some kind of god!! So, that would mean I can either believe in the god of ooze (energy that has no brain, that can't talk, or do anything) or believe in the God of the world ( the one that can actually talk, hear, walk, and everything else...including make us since He has a brain). Umm.....I think I'll choose the the God of the world. You have no hardcore evidence for your theory. You can't even find the 'missing links' to all the fossils. Try to prove that one.
And like that other guy, what do you say about the Ark????

location of the ark in turkey. try not breathing air and see what happens. world powers up to this point have been declared and proven. Bet nobody can prove via science that God does not exist!!! It is just the opposite. God does exist and is very much alive and involved in your life even if you do not admit it.

Physically, it can't be proved one way or the other. Not in the here and now. You just have to have faith that it is, or that it isn't. We can debate all we want, but all that's going to do is tell us other people's opinions.

When I was young, I saw an angel. I remember the experience with complete vividness. My sister and a friend of ours were there as well and they can all attest.... I will take a lie detector!!!! I know what I saw. We talk about it amongst each other sometimes.
