What would you accept as proof of God?

Question

Or would you be a skeptic of everything?

Answer 1

Belief in god is true emotion.

Evidence for it is not needed.

Evidence against it is not appropriate.

How many times do I have to tell you this?

Answer 2

Tangible, physical evidence. There has never been an example of a proven case of God being the cause of anything. The only evidence of a God that could be possible turning points are just the gaps of misunderstanding that science hasn't explained yet. Theists often take questions that scientists cannot answer and magically plug in this thing called "God" as an assumed (...But obviously 100% correct) answer. They think that since we don't have an answer now, we never will, and the only explanation is God. Yet, with the rising age of science, all that is needed is time to disprove the belief in God. We no longer need Thor to explain thunder, or Zeus to explain lightning, neither do we need Saturn to explain agriculture or Hera to explain fertility anymore.

I find the concept of God as incoherent. God is described as a 'person', a 'being'. To be a person, one must have an identity. To have an identity, one must have limits. I do not have red hair, nor was I born in Zimbabwe. Everyone here has a specific birthplace, a specific skin color, a specific story--That makes us all different people, so we're not the SAME person. We have differences given our limits. That's what makes us--us. God, however, is defined as a "limitless being". Without limits, you cannot have an identity. If you don't have an identity, you cannot exist. The thought of being limitless is completely paradoxical. The Bible says that "God is love", but if God is limitless, then saying that "God is love" would be limiting him to love and therefore neglecting his anti-love qualities, which an omnipresent deity MUST have, and create a paradox.

Another point--God is always described as an "immaterial being". How can you be an immaterial being? All of our experience shows us that a being must have a physical housing, an organism, a mind (Or a computer, though it still has hardware to house the software). Thomas Jefferson once said "To talk of immaterial beings is to talk of nothing." If God has no physical body, no physical manifestation, how can he possibly exist? He is just a fable used to describe what we cannot (yet) explain or understand, fabricated out of thirst for knowledge.

I'd need more than just a book.

Answer 3

when God mentioned 1400 yrs ago that there will come a day when wars are everywhere and nature disasters occur so often, and ppl shall travel from east 2 west in few hours,and they`ll change their nature and play with their physical appearence(cosmetic surgeries)..and and and.....God has already proved he`s there and he`s the ONE

these are some examples http://www.islamicweb.com/quran/prophecies.htm

The Amazing Qur'an
By Dr. Gary Miller
http://www.islamdoor.com/amazing.html

this is a non-muslim testify :)

read this part on embryology in Quran:

I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Keith Moore for a television presentation, and we talked a great deal about this - it was illustrated by slides and so on. He mentioned that some of the things that the Qur'an states about the growth of the human being were not known until thirty years ago. In fact, he said that one item in particular - the Qur'an's description of the human being as a "leech-like clot" ('alaqah) at one stage (Surahs al-Hajj 22:5; al-Mu'minun 23:14; and Ghafir 40:67) - was new to him; but when he checked on it, he found that it was true, and so he added it to his book. He said, "I never thought of that before," and he went to the zoology department and asked for a picture of a leech. When he found that it looked just like the human embryo, he decided to include both pictures in one of his textbooks.

do u still need a proof that Allah is there and he`s the one and only true god??!:)

Answer 4

The proof is in the pudding,I see him all around me,even in myself.Wow we have an amazing God,and Savior,it would have been enough for just those 2 but then we have the Holy Spirit within us.Everything that exists has the fingerprints of God on them.And you a beautiful example of his amazing Art.Shalom

Answer 5

If a 'tri-omni' god (omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent)existed, then it would be his desire that all human beings have an unshakeable belief in his existence and a perfect knowledge of what behaviour he wants from us, and it would be within his capacity to achieve this (without us needing to be given 'proof' - we would just believe). Since many people neither believe in a god nor agree on what is the right way to behave, such a god does not exist.

Answer 6

Something that only a God can do and that cannot be replicated by humans or easily explain as a natural phenomena. One simple example, is to make an amputees leg grow back right in front of my eyes. I mean if God created the the heavens and the earth in 6 days plus a day of rest then a simple task like that is simple and not much to ask.

Answer 7

I would be critical of everything (as we should be). But I would definitely be willing to listen to and understand a good argument. I don't even ask for 'proof', just some better arguments. Even the atomic theory and plate tectonics aren't proven - nor is any scientific theory - but I accept them. With circular logic and phrases such as "you just need faith," can you understand why I do not believe in any deity? Personal feelings do not count as proof, for as we can see they are natural products of our brain (with some hormonal influence).

Answer 8

Let me put it this way. If there is a God out there, then he knows EXACTLY what it would take for me (or any other atheist) to believe in him. And if he's all-powerful, then it would take virtually no effort on his part at all. It's really not that difficult a thing.

Here are some ideas, worded better than I could.

Answer 9

I would accept one of three things...
-Life itself
-Living in a world as beautiful as this, which as many unique and special objects and individuals populating it.
or
-A Holy Book that proves itself true through (particularly through prophecies of that had occured later on. Curious? try looking in Leviticus, Exodus, or Nehemiah).

I'll take all of the above!! That's why I'm a Christian.

Answer 10

I already believe in God. I know this within my heart to be true. I need no other proof.

Answer 11

Well I already know God exists so I don't need proof, but this is an interesting question..STAR for you
