Can you prove to me with evidence outside the Bible that even the U.S. Supreme Court can not deny that God does in fact exist or did at one time exist. You may want to use scientific evidence.
Remember you can not use the Bible in any way, shape, or form. Or any person who does use the Bible. (For other religions you equivalent to the Bible.)

I am an Atheist and I can prove it. I wholeheartedly believe there is no God. The same thing can be said by anyone. It's true to that person and that is all that matters.

Some things you must take on faith. Like, can you prove to the Supreme Court that you have a soul? Without using the Bible or any other book? Using only scientific methods? I don't think you can. Just as I can't prove/disprove god.

You're missing the basic point sweetie. The kind of proof you're asking for doesn't lead to the desired result. I have to use the bible to illustrate but I don't think I'm violating your conditions because I'm not using bible stories to prove God exists, but rather to demonstrate that "proof" is irrelevant when it comes to accepting the existence of God...I'll even talk hypothetically.
Let's pretend that the Supreme Court consists of the Noah, his three sons, and their wife. God told them he would save them from a flood that would destroy every other person on earth. It rained, everyone else died, and they survived. Would the Supreme Court accept this as proof that God existed?
Let's pretend that the Supreme Court consists of the nation of Israel. They live in slavery but believe that their God will deliver them. They experience all the plagues God sent against Egypt including watching the first born of all Egypt die. They walk across a sea with dry ground under their feet and see a pilar of fire swallow up their enemies. Would the Supreme Court accept this as proof that God exists?
And what of Jesus...how many people met him face-to-face and saw him perform miracles and still didn't believe. What of the ten men Jesus healed of leprosy...only ONE returned to thank him!
The daughters of Noah ignored God's instructions before the ground was even dry, the people of Israel melted down their jewlery to build a golden calf to worship, and nine men walked away from Jesus after he gave them physical PROOF of God's existence. Why would you be any different?...why would anyone be any different?
I can't prove to you that God exists using biblical or even scientific evidence. But isn't that the very essence of the message of the bible...that faith is the key to accepting the will of God? Have you ever considered the possibility that faith serves a purpose you don't or can't understand? What if faith is a sense that we need to use to perceive the universe after the death of our physical body (and with it, the death of the senses we place so much weight on now)? To quote a line from The Santa Clause, "seeing isn't believing, believing is seeing"...it works that way for all your other physical senses too! Even if I could prove to you that God exists, I wouldn't do it because doing so would eliminate the need for you to come to this knowledge by exercising your own capacity for faith!

can you prove to me, without a doubt, that the big bang started the universe or that a lightning strike in a pool of chemical infused water started life on a evolutionary path to man? I don't think you can. I think it actually takes more faith to believe the above than it does to believe in a loving God that created the world. I can't prove to you nor can I change your mind about what you wish to believe. But I have faith in God. I take comfort in my conversations with Him. Does He always answer my prayers? no, but sometimes it is better that He didn't. I know He is there for me even when I don't think He is. Faith can carry you along way sometimes and it's my faith that tells me He is real and that He sent His Son to die on the cross for my sins. That He was raised from the dead on the third day and ascended into heaven 40 days later. Will I be able to convince you of this, no. But God can if you let Him

All I have to do is pick a blade of grass or some other single object in life and talk to an expert who has studied that grass as a PHD all of his life. Then I can see how complex it is. There has to be an intelligent person (God ) who created all this. This could not have happened any other way. It is far too complex. After studying these things for a couple hundred years, scientists still have not been able to comprehend it totally.

I am not a christian but this I must state you are a fool to want to argue something that the answer is obvious to there is no proof to gods existence that is why it is called faith you are to believe without proof unconditionally people like me and you apparently lack that sort of ability to believe in something so fool hardy however I believe that you are still a fool for bringing such a matter to question when the answer is right in front of your eyes and the other reason you would do this is even worse that you wish to put down others making you arrogant and pompous.

To prove or disprove God you will need to know 100% of everything there is to know, being that we probably don't know even .01 of 1% of available knoweledge in the universe it begs that there is atleast a chance of God in the realm of the unknown. My second argument is a painting suggest a painter, a building suggest a builder, so why doesn't the universe suggest a creator?

I can tell you from my own direct personal experience - and the teachings of Maitreya through his own direct experience - that God not only exists but we are at our essence One with God. The "book" is the Book of Truth that God instilled within the Secret Inner Sanctuary of all souls.

Can u prove to us that u have a brain? u can not take it out. can't have no xrays or anybody that has seen any xrays of your head. That is where faith comes in. Faith is getting a glass b4 u turn on the water faucet. God has nothing to prove. Believe it or not, it is as simple as that.
