Yes of course he does exist. Dont you have enough faith to believe that God is there. I was once told that faith is believing in something that isnt seen but is truly there.

The two greatest reasons for believing in God are the Bible, which bears the hallmark of someone who knows exactly how we should live our lives, and the evidence which atheists and evolutionists use to support their beliefs, but which doesn't match the evangelistic presentation of their beliefs. There is no evidence directly linking any modern species with an extinct prehistoric species. Why then do evolutionistsevangelise so passionately about evolution? One reason might well be the fact that they don't believe in God. The only logical means for life to occur in a Godless universe is evolution. What evidence there is certainly seems to fit, but an explanation of creation may also fit.

God created one angel who was then used to create all other things. This angel would not know how to create the physical unverse so would have to learn the basics first and would then apply those lessons by using the power and knowledge from God to put the universe together. The Bible doesn't actually say how old the universe is, so what scientists say about the age of it is totally reasonable from the Bible's point of view.

The angel would then have to put life on the earth, but even here he would have to learn how to do it. at first he would put the basic building blocks in place from what materials were already there. Then, from the same inanimate materials, he creates the first simple living cellurar organisms. then, in the same way, he creates with God's direction, more complex organisms, until he has created all the basic species. When it comes to humans, there was to be something different. They were to have all the qualities of God and the ability to build and invent and use spoken and written words.

God may have told the angel to choose a species to use as a model to build the first human. For various practical and personal reasons, the angel chosen the ape. Even so, the ape, while it had the closest physical structure to us, would require extensive rebuilding. The angel, again under God's direction, Began redesigning differnt parts of the ape, and when each part was put together, the man-like ape would be created from the earth's materials. Finally, when the shape was more or less right, the angel would be able to put together Adam from the dust of the ground.

It is of course only a theory, but fits the evidence as much as evolutionary theory.

Nobody "knows" but it seems to me unlikely that any sort of God does exist. I am certain based on common sense alone that it is none of the gods we currently worship or have ever worshiped, even if a god does exist. If one exists it is highly likely that we have no knowledge or record of him whatsoever. It is much more likely that the idea of God is a superstition, much like ghosts and sea monsters. There is definitely enough evidence to show that we evolved, and that if there is a God he would be the most complex thing in the universe. I once heard Richard Dawkins explain how that is completely illogical, because complex things such as God take a long time to evolve. Complex things don't come before the most basic of things. In any case there isn't a compelling reason, save for threats of burning in an eternity of fire, that any god does exist or that you should believe without any hard evidence, save for God opening the skies and proclaiming that he does most definitely in fact exist.

The dhefinition of God is usually alluded to the spirit. Example those warm kindly kindred souls who have a love and a kindness towards all, godly souls. The conscience is God. That voice thatwarns of the terrors of erring from path of good, and the virtues of goodness and sociable behaviour towards others. The will is pertained to God. Ie the God willed seek aspects him in all things around them, and they who contain the spirit of God tend to be cited as driven by Gods will. The need to do good, love and be loved for the sake of loving rather than any personal gain. Thos eblessed souls imbued partially or wholly to varying degrees with godly spirit tend have high doses of humanity, infectious to all they touch or come into contact with. To believe and have faith or to understand is to receive gods light and wisdom into your heart. The spiritual awakening is literally a need to communicate with that inner spirit, understand and comprehend it. This cannot happen if you have yet to find belief. Some are led to this door within thie minds, some are called, and others inspired by those godly souls around them.

You are asking the million dollar question.
I suspect that you will get a ton of yes and No's.

There is no one one on earth that can give you definite proof of anything.
Science will say one thing and then you have different religions that have different opinions on how we came to be.

Even the Christians can not agree if there was just one Adam and Eve or if they are a metaphor for many.

Some people feel they have been helped or touched by a higher being. Some believe that we just die and go back to dust.

One thing that I can say for sure is... There is something after we die.
There have been to many recordings and photos of spirits. It has been investigated time and time again.
I could almost bet that some one you know has had some type of experience that they can not explain with a spirit or ghost.
Also you have the people who have had near death experiences and have been above their bodies and came back. Many have different experiences but there are a few who have seen things and can describe them later, not things they hear but actually see when they are supposed to be unconscious or dead.

In the end the only thing we can say for sure is that your spirit does live on.

This question just keeps coming back like zits on a teenager. Answer: Believers believe "God" or gods exist. Non-believers do not. And never the twain shall meet.

No he doesn't. Why does he let us kill each other. Why does he let us create weapons of such deadly capacity e.g Nukes, Man made biological weapons? The excuse 'because he testing us' holds no water. Ask the same question to a survivor of Sobibor or Treblinka. See what they say.

Boy, thanks for the slow pitch. This to me is an easy question because at least for me it is absurdly easy for me to see that God does indeed exist. The heavens declare his handiwork. The fact that you have the ability to ask this question proves to me that he exists. "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God." Proverbs. I assume you're young and never experienced your first born being born because if you did you might actually see the amazing miracle of life that God has created. God bless you and do look out your window and try to ponder the good and beautiful things that God has made, you may find this experience quite enjoying.

As sure as you were able to ask that question, BBPDude.
How do I know?
For once, take off those dark glasses, open your eyes, and see the wondrous works of God.
