is there any scientific evidence to prove there is a god or gods?

No. Religion is based on faith, not proof. If you were to prove the existence of God, the entire universe would spontaneously vanish in a great puff of logic.

None. \n\nTHERE IS NO PROOF THAT GOD DOES NOT EXIST.  \n\nBut there is evidence EVERYWHERE that He DOES exist. \nWe see God in all that there is. There is evidence of him in all cultures. Some differ on who and what He his. But throughout history man of all ages and all cultures acknowledge a god. \n\nOne may not agree with all the natural things that point to God, all the history that points to God, all the people that point to God.....yet, and still, there is at least SOME evidence in these things to ANYONE that there is a god.\n\nWhen you weigh both sides, it  takes a fool to not believe in God.\n\nVirtually all our great leaders and presidents alike acknowleged God.  Our forefathers and foremothers, even the immediate fathers and mothers of of those that don't even believe in God; they believe(d) in God. \n\nConsider all the religeous scholars throughout the ages even unto this day, all the songs and hymns that have been written concerning God, etc. We could go on and on.  They don't all agree on many principles, but, they ALL agree that He is.  Somehow, all of these people are nuts and a few dim souls with enough free time to float around on Yahoo for several hours a day think they KNOW that God does not exist! I THINK NOT.  \n\nOne thing is for sure, some of them, before they die will come crawling to the God they denied;  the others will die wishing they had.\n\nIf we that believe in God are fools; then let it  be known that their ancestors, even mothers and fathers where even bigger fools.  Many of those that lived and died before us where fools.  Because they also believed.  But praise be unto God; they where not.\n\n"believe there's no proof"  . vs.  "believe the written testamonies and evidence everywhere"\n\nIt's a persons choice, but it takes a BONAFIDE FOOL to side with "no proof".\n\nThere is no "burden of proof" on anyone that believes in God to prove it to ones that do not believe in Him. The belief in God is ones OWN burden. Everyone only has their own burden to decide to believe or not to believe. \n\nI have no responsibility to prove Gods existence to anyone. Neither does anyone else have that responsibility.\n\n\nPeace

Well, this is a touchy question...God or science. It is also a complicated question, but I will do my best.\n\nThe thing about faith, is if you don't have it, you don't understand it, but if you have it then no explanation is neccessary. In other words, people of faith do not need proof nor do they care to learn, they simply believe in God. People of science need proof of what they believe in. Scientists believe in the atom because they can see it, they can study it. Religious followers do not need to see God to believe in him. \n\nSince man could first walk upright we have been searching for a reason that we are here. Some people turn to God to make their search simple and refreshing. Others turn to science in order to seek a more rational explanation. \n\nReligion is nothing more than a very comforting way of going about your life. God put you here for a reason, God will protect you, God will forgive you, God will give you eternal happiness, and so on are just ways of controlling the weaker 96% of the worlds population. \n\nOn your question, science has not proven that religion is fraud, but it has proved that certain things mentioned in the Bible are untrue. This is easy because the Bible is not a historical record, it is a collection of stories that were passed down by mouth for generations before ever written down. As an example, the Bible says the world was created in six days, (remember, the seventh day was for rest not creation), well, was that six Earth days, or extra-solar days? A lot of what is in the Bible is relative. \n\nNow, although science has proven that a great many things in the religious world are not factual, science has yet to prove that God does not exist. That is one thing that science may never be able to prove...but just to be fair, Religion will also never be able to prove that science is wrong.\n\nI realize that I have put a negative window on religion and I wish to correct this. I myself, am Atheist...I have no belief in any God, I simply believe that no God exists, and I am fine with that. Many others have a need to believe in God. They feel good believing that there is an all-knowing and omnipotent being watching over them and taking care of them and guiding them, I have no problems with that in fact I encourage that.\n\nAlthough I am Atheist, I do read the Bible because the Bible does not only teach about God, it teaches you a good way to live your life and how to be a good person, it teaches morals, values, discipline, and responsibility. If you feel you need to believe in God, then you should, if you are comfortable not believing in God, then go ahead. It is all about personal convictions and preferences. Believe or dis-believe in whatever, or whoever you chose and let others do the same.\n\nI will end this with a quote, although I am not sure who said it. "If God did not exist, then it would be neccessary for man to create Him"

Without a shred of proof?  There is MUCH more proof that there is a God than you would imagine.  The evidence is overwhelming, actually.  I tell you what, if you can convince me that it is more logical to believe there is no God than that He exists, I'll change my beliefs.  Are you willing to accept the same challenge?

Youre right, you cant prove it. But thats fine for most people, cause if you keep telling yourself thats something exist, its gonna exist. So you dont need a proof. If you keep telling yourself that theres God, God will exist. If you dont, then he wont. It simple. And about the Bible, I could write a book right now about a new God, bury it in the earth and then about 1000 years later someone's gonna find it, and there will be a new religion, and everybody will believe in my God. You know what im saying? So you cant prove anything, its just whether believe in it or not. If you do you'll see it.

If aliens exist, it proves that there is no God, least the god we know. \nThat or there are more than 1 god to make beings in thier image (or not in there image, whatever the case may be)

You really can't.  It's a matter of faith.\n\nBut, if you wanted to try, you would have to come up with a definition of God.  Then attempt to find evidence of a being that meets your definition.\n\nEven then, most faiths have deceivers in their beliefs.  So, be careful.

NO,\n\nThe burden of proof is on those who believe in "GOD".\n\nYou can't make up a person and say that if you can't disprove his existance then he must exist.

Yes you can prove your mind!  Brain chemistry!\n\nSoul and spirit, totally different!\n\nNo matter how much you believe in them or faith etc, you are going to find it very, very hard to actually come up with any scientific proof for the existence of a soul or spirit!\n\nSorry folks...! ;-)

Gods and goddesses belong to an infinite class of ideas that are incapable of being proven or disproven.  It's just like primitive people believing that evil demons cause disease - We can show exactly how micro-organisms cause disease, we can produce treatments based on that knowledge which actually work, we can show that people who claim to treat disease in supernatural ways are actually frauds, but we can never *disprove* the idea that demons are involved.  All we can say is that there is no rational reason to believe it.  The same is true of gods - We can't prove they are just imaginary, but there's no rational reason to believe in them.

The request for evidence depends in the assertion being made by someone else.\n\nI wouldn't bother asking for evidence for a god like that of Spinoza or Don S (only god can in this case), I do not expect to get any evidence for such beings. If someone believes god can be only known through faith, I wouldn't ask for evidence either.\n\nNow, there are assertions that deserve being questioned. Once someone proposed that there is a "dimension of light" where god lives. Wouldn't you like to know what evidence there is to make such assertion? I can accept someone believes this through "faith", but if someone insists there is a "logical conclusion" to determine its existence, I'd ask for it. If someone had the evidence, I'd like to give it a try.\n\nI could give you other examples, but this is enough, it's all about the specific assertion.\n\nSo, I'd only ask for proof depending it what is being proposed. Even though I have to point out that, usually, I'm here to share my point of views and not to ask for proof of anything.\n\nI've got e-mails telling me I'll burn in hell... And their evidence is? o.0

Great question. I am an atheist, but have never said there is "no evidence of god" there is just not enough proof for me. Also, say god is real. Then he must of just been there, so why couldn't the world?!

A good question. There is as much *** proof *** of his existence as there is for all the other deities and pseudo deities.\n\nNote the word *** proof *** here meaning "not what some mortal scribbled down in parchment a few hundred years AFTER the alleged fact, THEN had it translated - several times - interpreted and re-written."

Where most religious people think to see "proof" of God, an objective person will only see something that usually can be explained by smthg else. The point is that the average human is not much aware of modern science (like cutting edge cosmology, quantum physics, abiogenesis, and the like) and just ignore the many possibilities for other explanations alternative to "God". \n\nThere is no such thing as "scientific proof" of the existence of God. No matter what religious people say.\nWe don´t really need the "God theory" to explain things in this universe. They can be explained by more conventional means. \n\nThe problem is that science is just too young compared to culture and tradition. \nMankind, my friend, is still at its childhood, and it still loves fairytales when going to bed.

He exists if you need him to exist. \n\nThere is no more proof that God exists then proof that he doesn't. \n\nDiscussing whether or not there is a God is only an argument of contrasting opinions where no one can win.

how can you believe in evolution when there is no proof?

No scientific proof for Santa Claus (except for NORAD, maybe), contested or otherwise. A large body of contested data proving aliens' and God's existence, and some evidence claiming that God is an alien!\n\n"Believing" there must be a planet out there that can support alien life is not evidence, folks. It's blind faith. Not saying there isn't one, just that no one can say there is yet. And you people pick on religious believers for not having any proof...
