i realize his existence every day i wake up.. every time a burden is lifted... every time a crisis comes and goes and i am still alive.  his existence is all around you. all u have to do is look

look around you, can you testify the existance of GOD and the universe?

No one can prove it - zero, one, or many.  Gods, for some reason, choose to leave no evidence of their existence.\n\nFunny, isn't it.\n\nA

No, nobody really can prove it, with assuming several axioms\nfirst. There are certain things you have to assume are true in your universe, without necessary being able to check them. From those axioms, you can derive conclusions (theorems) that are always true, but only in that particular\nuniverse. The discussed operation of addition is one such theorem. If you assume that the axioms of natural numbers are true, then this addition becomes quite trivival. If you assume those axioms of natural numbers to be false, then the above operation of addition might become false with a different set of supposition. In other words, only with the facts given, one cannot prove, nor disprove, the fact of addition. It all depends on the set of assumptions you would have made before adding the two ones.

Proof is hard. Is there evidence?\nIs it easier to prove presence or absence?\n\nDo athiest have "faith" in a "Void"?

Absence of proof is not proof of absence.  \n\nHowever, it is the logical (or I should say illogical) fallacy "argument from ignorance" that because there is no evidence that God exists, that is evidence that God does not exist.   \n\nIt is also logical fallacy of "negative proof," that God must exist because there is no proof that God does not exist.  Why do you think God exists.  Why do you think God doesn't exist?    \n\n"The burden of proof should be on the proposed idea, not the challenger of the idea."  The challenger must only raise an issue of doubt, whereas the proposer must carry the burden of persuasion.  \n\nWhat can be more "honest," "practical," "intelligent," than LOGIC?\n\nAnother point, it is beliefs we are talking about, which are devloped best from the weight of the evidence in a world that seldom presents absolute proof.  Provocative question!  Thanks for keeping me up all night with this non-sense!

Cue the snarky reply, "Can you prove he doesn't?" \n\nIn 5, 4, 3, 2....\n\nI'd sure like to see proof if there is any. But proof to me and proof to the religious is two entirely different things. Some would have us believe that bananas are proof.

There is no proof that god exist.\n\nbut any way if god exist, this doesn't mean god created man of his own image, becasue how can something made of bady be god. Any thing that is made of matter is effected by time, so if god is made of matter then there is day that god born. but thats immpossibe. God is not made from any thing, and he is neither good or bad, he is neutral.\nand no one know why did he make man, and also there is no prove that he exist.

There is no proof that a god exists which actually holds up (all of the ones that people have come up with so far have been knocked down).\n\nThere are however disproofs of the existance of some types of god which still hold.

You cannot prove that God exists. God exists IN THE BEGINNING.  With our limited knowledge as a definite being, we cannot prove the existence of an infinite being.\n\nDescartes did have some say about the existence of God. The argument goes something like this: \n1) try to imagine a perfect being in your mind. \n2) The perfect being must exist so you can imagine it\n3) A "perfect being" cannot be "perfect" if it doesn't exist\n4) Therefore, God exists\n\nThat's what I learned from philosophy class. Didn't sound very convicing\n\nHowever, there are lots of things which we can't see, feel, hear, but they do exist. For example, viruses!\nI know that God exists because He changed my life. \n\nRegarding your questions about the Bible, the Bible is written by people, but is inspired by God. So the Bible is indeed one of the tools God uses to talk to us. One of the "proves" is that, people have tried to find contradictions in the Bible, because there has to be! The Bible is written by many people, in different time, different places. It would be very hard for 3 people to write a story together and be consistent throughout even. However, throughout all these years, people have not been able to find contradictions in the Bible, and prophecies written in the Old Testament have been fulfilled many many times already.\n\nAnd no, I dont think it is a "sin" for you to write this.

It could be, it could not be. Its one of those things you have to experience and study yourself, and come to your own conclusions. One could ask "Is God for real"? And in reality, nobody has 100% solid proof that God is "for real". You just have to believe in it yourself regardless of what other people think.

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.

It is not possible to say 'God exists' or 'God does not exist'. There is simply no proof either way.\nThose that say 'God exists' must at some point take a leap of faith.\nThose that say 'God does not exist' must make a similar leap of faith towards scientific / empirical proofs.\n\nI don't know about 'being sure' but I tend to think that almost all the misery caused in this world is due to human choice and free will. Unless I'm mistaken, there is pretty much all the resource, food and know-how on this planet to keep us all well, fed, warm, housed etc. if it weren't for the inherant greed and desire within us all (not being 'holier than thou' here - don't see me selling the laptop to put food in a starving African - just admitting my failings!) Maszlow's heirarchy of human needs is a good starting point for understanding what we need / what we want and why we choose to proceed upwards as we attain our needs.\n\nPerhaps the 'garden of eden' is a very good analogy for what happens when we have free will. Without it all God's graces were given, as soon as human's chose the 'forbidden' path from their own free will, it all started going wrong.\nBit harsh to blame God for what we have chosen as a race to do with the gifts of creation / evolution?

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.

It would first be necessary for the apparition to convince me that it was in fact god.  The obvious test to use, since one may suppose that god knows everything, is to ask for the ultimate theory of everything.  (Einstein spent the last years of his life looking for such a theory; he never found it, and neither has anyone else.  The problem is fiendishly difficult.)  If the apparition succeeded in convincing me that it was god, then I should ask: what would he like me to do?

Nope.\n\nAnd in return, if you cant prove God does not exist, well then he just might. I cant prove fairies dont exist, so they just might.\n\nJust the way it works for me.
