Can you prove to me that God exist? And then prove to me that he doesn't?

Answer 1

During 1800s, Anthropologists had a problem as to
how to classify human beings. One researcher
proposed the expression "intelligent animal".
After advanced studies on monkeys, it was dropped.
Another researcher proposed "tool using animal".
After observing some animals making wooden tools
and sharpening them with knife like stones, it was
dropped. Another researcher proposed "weapon using
animal". A decade ago, a rare film was shot by an
amateur in an African forest. One short monkey was
hit very badly by a big monkey. The short monkey
prepared a wooden knife using stones and hid it on
the top of a tree. After some days, when the big
monkey came to attack the short monkey, it ran up
to the tree for the weapon it has hid and killed
the big monkey. The one thing that the
anthropologists found with any group of human
beings, even if they did not have contacts with
the out side world for thousands of years, has
spirituality with some form of religion. So, man
is a "spiritual animal" if you want to call him
that way.

The Upanishads say that "Manush" (human) was so
named because he has "Manas" a mind higher than
that of the animals which realizes the divinity in
creation. It was present since the creation of
human beings. Religion is the characteristic
feature of most of the human beings. It was not
attained through reasoning using mind. Illiterate
tribes located in inaccessible forests also have
religion. It is as eternal and and as unchanging
as the Almighty. Disbelief by a few will not
affect it.

Religion is not a blind following. It is a sub-consciously driven
group ritual. It calms the 'collective unconscious' mind. The
religious culture brings unity and belongedness among the followers.

Answer 2

i'm purely a individual with constrained perceptions, only like anybody else. I believe God does exist, yet not in any anthropomorphic experience that would have the means to be shown or measured scientifically. This being the main possibly explanation for the a while previous debate, I end that i won't provide any friendly answer that would convince you the two way.

Answer 3

As an atheist I must say its impossible to prove that something doesn't exist. There is a misconception among nonatheists that atheists are people that "firmly believe god does not exist". I simply just lack the belief in a god. There is a big difference. I'm not saying its impossible i'm just saying its very unlikely and I don't believe in a god until I see good evidence and reason.

Answer 4

I DONT know what god is, but i know what he isn't. if your pertaining to the everyday perception of religion, then i cant prove monotheism exists or doesn't. i can at least tell you there is an outside creator or factor and there has to be, the Meir fact of everything that exists today and yesterday and tomorrow. something(god) had to create everything. say there was no god and everything was just here. theres a need for a starting point with a factor beside it. the only way to explain that there is no god is to say we did not create life and its surroundings. i only believe human perception of god is the only question in question

Answer 5

I think that there is no definate way to prove He exists nor a way to prove He doesn't. I personally believe in God, but to each his own. That is why it is called faith. It is up to you to decide

Answer 6

Leaving the faith on one side. Just look at the ceiling tile above the earth and the force keeps you on the earth. the surrounding will prove the existent of a super power who created those things

Answer 7

Quite apart from any philosophical or scientific proof I prove to myself that God exists by the simple expedient of knowing most people in the world believe that a god, if not God, exists and THEY ARE HAPPY AND SATISFIED WITH THEIR BELIEF!.

To me it is totally irrational to believe no god exists. IT requires solipsism and that, to me, is an impossibility. I can not, for the life of me, achieve a level of ego so high that I believe I know more about this than the aforementioned majority of people in the world who do believe a god exists And from the sheer immensity and wondrous complexity of the universe and the known life in it, plus the maxim that every effect has a cause makes it impossible for me to say, THERE IS NO GOD!

I do not however have any theology; I know nothing about God except HE JUST IS!

God be with you, good mental health, peace and LOVE!

Answer 8

If a Perfect being called God exist, then, because He is Perfect; He can not contradict Himself, nor can we. If a Perfect being called God does not exist, then we have no need to prove that He Is.

Answer 9

As an idea god exists without doubt, the question of to what degree does god exist as an answer to the "great questions" seems to be what is in dispute. Which I am sure you will see in the answers others provide to this question.
Sorry Clint.
I was wrong about the agnostic remark.

Answer 10

First of all, you need to edited your question, it should be like this:

Can you prove to me that God exist? If you cannot prove it, then prove to me that he doesn't?

If you don't fix your question, your question value is null.
