Is there any sort of hard evidence that God exists?

Existence of God is not a matter of speculation, analysis by human beings! All human beings world over had a limited intellect that could never comprehend what God Almighty was all about.

Going to churches, temples or mosques does not mean one was a firm believer of God. In my life, I wanted to go in search of God yet; I refrained from going to temples, churches and mosques. I never wanted to indulge in rituals that carried no meaning.

25 years of yoga meditation... I finally landed in laps of God Almighty when I realized God in the wee hours of third of August 1993 at 37 years of age.

If we exist, God Almighty also exists. As per Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... it is explosion of big bang that created the present cosmos. And what caused explosion of big bang! As per Bhagavad Gita it is Brahman (God Almighty in all its glory) that exploded self to form present cosmos. God Almighty was never the form of human beings.

God Almighty... the cluster of all pure souls’ atmans in cosmos at a given moment of time is the controller of all things cosmic! Our relationships on mother earth had nothing to do with existence of God Almighty. One could be a believer of God but not the Bible. One could be a believer of God... but not rituals of Hinduism! God is what Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism says it is.

Believing in God is believing in humanity, entire mankind! Only when we served mankind... did we truly serve God Almighty! More here- http://www.godrealized.com/god.html

I am glad to here that you take a more scientific standpoint. Nearly all of God's creations can be looked at and proven by a scientific standpoint. Personally, I choose not to discuss this too often as it does tend to get on people's nerves, just as you said, and they never take any fact I say seriously and it only makes the situation worse. You cannot ignore the fact that faith is the biggest element, but if you really need "proof," there are a few things you could consider. First of all, the universe is constantly expanding due to the driving force left over by the big bang. But something that isn't touched on too much is the driving force to the big bang itself. What caused it? What set it up in the first place? Order cannot come from chaos without someone or something to organize it. There is also the evolution theory. When the idea was first brought up, paleontologists initially thought the idea was ludicrous. That is because, even up to this day, there are not enough "missing links" between species to support it 100%. Even the monkey to man is just a theory. And if you line up all the different species in each consecutive era, it follows the order of creation. I could go on, but I clearly can see that you may not be the person to find me realistic and you may even think I'm absolutely ridiculous. I can't say for sure, because I don't know you, but if you do you wouldn't be the first. I never start up these conversations, but I can't get a word in without being scoffed at. That's life I guess. If you further want to look at this, I recommend a movie. The story is fictional, but the facts are not. I think you would enjoy it very much and would give you an opportunity to watch a large portion of the bible explained from a science standpoint. It is called "The Genesis Code." The side story is a little cheesy, but sweet. So if you can get past that, you will enjoy it.

Good luck! Hope you find what you need!

Here's a proof about the nonexistence of Yahweh, in three paragraphs (although just the first three sentences are sufficient). I expect that god-believers will not like this, and in order to prevent cognitive dissonance they will deny it.

There's no reliable evidence for God/Yahweh, Jesus, Allah, Zeus, Baal, Odin, Quetzalcoatl, Vishnu, Thor, Shiva, or any of the thousands of other gods that people have worshiped. If any existed there would be reliable evidence. Since no such evidence exists, these gods do not exist. There's also extensive evidence that they are all just myths, created to help soothe our fear of death, and perpetuated through religion to subjugate the underclass into obedience.

Science has shown that there's no need for gods to explain the traditional reasons for a god -- origin of the universe, origin of life, origin of species, origin of humans, origin of morality. Science also shows us the psychological reasons that people believe in god(s). See the 1st link for the video, "Andy Thomson: Why We Believe in Gods" or buy his book at the 2nd link. And, check out Michael Shermer's "The Believing Brain" at the third link.

Yahweh is typically defined as omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent, and having free will. Such a god is internally and externally incongruent, and thus cannot logically exist. An omnipotent and omniscient god with free will can't exist, because it could not both know the future and change it. An omnipotent and omnibenevolent god can't exist and allow the true horrors that occur to sentient beings.

All reliable evidence points to Jesus Christ being just a myth. There is no reliable evidence that Jesus even existed, and significant evidence that he didn't. The evidence is in the Bible, the other religions of the time, and the lack of writings about Jesus by historians of the time.

The story of Jesus can be shown to be just a myth created to fulfill prophesy, cobbled together out of stories from the Old Testament and previous gods and myths -- created in the 40's and 50's by Paul of Tarsus (who exhibited symptoms of epilepsy and had delusions of Christ talking to him), the other apostles, the unknown authors of the gospels in the 70's or later, and many other people. The reliable evidence for this is overwhelming.

For the evidence, see the 2nd group of links. There are also several good books on this, including:

"Nailed: Ten Christian Myths that Show Jesus Never Existed At All"

by David Fitzgerald

"The Jesus Puzzle" by Earl Doherty

"Not the Impossible Faith" by Richard Carrier

If you want evidence and logical points, I think one of the reasons religion still stands is because of how "perfect things are". I know people are dying and there's diseases and natural disasters, etc... but the mathematics of how "perfectly" aligned everything is. From how we're at the perfect spot in the solar system, to how we have water to survive and air, and from things like the moon in its perfect position... even down to the quantum scale. It's so perfectly mathematically designed and I think that's where people think something (god) created it.

Also, you should change your opinions on theories. Just because it's not proven 100% correct that the universe began with a "big bang" doesn't mean it's not theoretically correct.. there's plenty of evidence that the big bang occurred. Such as red shifts, expanding universe, singularities, etc.. Anyway, If you look up the 'fibonacci' spiral and the golden ratio (1.618), then you can truly get an idea of how exact things are in life.

I was a passionate believer for many many years. And I basically studied my way right out of believing. The Bible wasn't put together when and how believers say it was. Period. After that, the whole thing completely collapses.

Let's say for a moment you could stretch around being an agnostic. You 2 still aren't on the same page for what seems to be an important subject to you both. If you pursue this, one or both of you will end up angry, resentful and scarred from the heartache.

Call this the one who got away and move on.

There doesn't seem to be any hard tangible evidence to prove the existence of a deity as us humans propose with human characteristics and all.

There is however the possibility of accepting the existence of a unknown force or power that may have something to do with the emergence of our universe, us and the laws that govern everything.

Simply put the unexplainable.

Proof. No. There isn't any. Theres just no reason not to believe there might be. Jesus, was real. Cold hard fact. What he preach why know he preached. What he did. No proof. But, if you believe, that there is a possibility of there being this higher being above everyone. The curing someones eyes. Turning blood into water. Then that is total possible.

The belief in a magical parent relieves fear of illness and death. There is not the slightest evidence that some sort of entity or personality which could pass for a god exists. As Bertrand Russell noted, the answer god made us simply begs the question who made god and tells us nothing.

You are.

As an atheist, you give less thought to what is an atheist than Christian's do trying to understand Christianity.

Being an atheist who believe you were made without one intelligent thought, I can understand how you would only be able to see things from your perspective where God is not a possibility. By believing humanity evolved from a rock, we know that we can't be made with a reason to live as reason has never been a part of the evolutionary process.

Likewise, the definition of "right" and "wrong" is determined at creation where "right" is doing what you were made to do and "wrong" is everything else. Being amoral, you understand you can't be wrong or right because they or merely opinions...which makes pollsters money from those who want to determine which way the wind is blowing.

After all, when all paths lead to the same conclusion and

everything humanity does will be erased when the sun becomes a red giant,

it is illogical for the atheist to declare their beliefs better

or right

or someone else's belief wrong.

They can only say we are equal which kills them because down deep they really want to be right no matter how illogical that position is for atheists. But to a Believer,

Hope this helps

Suomy Nona, You missed my point.

1. Atheism does not have the ability to be moral because of what Atheists believe...not because of what theists believe.

2. Atheists can't honestly say Atheism is better than the theist's position because of what Atheists believe...not because of what Theists believe.

3. Because you are unable to prove your position, you are a believer of Atheism and are just as religious with your " introspective reassessing" as every other religious person.

As you demand Theists to recognize this concept, Atheists should not demand from others what they are unwilling to do themselves.

Atheists need a better grip on what they believe instead of simply attacking that which they don't believe. Have you ever noticed people don't become Atheists because what Atheism believes and stands for? How wrong is that!...and atheists don't believe something can be wrong because all paths lead to the same conclusion.

Edit

Sarah, Islam teaches that the first 24 prophets were so rejected by Muslims that Muslims don't have ANY historical documents or artifacts of Ismael, Abraham, Moses or Jesus prior to Muhammad. Therefore, it would be illogical to suggest that Islam is the youngest religion or that Muslims were prone to obeying Allah.

Because we know that Muhammad was Allah's faithful servant and Allah is rich in mercy, we also know that Allah gave us so generously that nothing more could be received and Muhammad gave us all that prior to his death.

Since this is true, we also know that the creators of the Hadith did so because they were full of sin.

Allah handed them over to their sin as punishment

for failing to believe everything humanity could want

was not provided by Allah through his faithful servant

or that non-prophets who never spoke with Allah

could better determine than the faithful servant of Allah the will of Allah.

Islam was corrupted by these haters of Muhammad who burned all Qurans that didn't exactly match the one copy they chose as the standard. This is why we have over 100 translations of the Quran which would all be burned if these haters of Muhammad and Allah were alive today.

Do you think your computer existed without some intelligent mind created them? That it just existed just like that? I dont think so..

How about the universe.., the galaxies,,, the solar system? They are all moving wih exactness... and just observing all living things... you will find knowledge and intelligence in them as you observe them. So do you think it will work just as if they have their own minds??? Let's broaden our mind on things around us...

To learn more on this subject... listen to the ONLY sensible preacher in these last days. Bro ELI SORIANO.

All your questions re FAITH will be answered. TEST him

It's extra sincere to be agnostic toward them it seems that. That is going for leprechauns, willow the wisps and fairies too. Edit: Jim is mistaken, there is not any such clinical time period as macro evolution. Speciation is the proper one and this has been determined, in spite of all of the creationist claims to the opposite.
