Will everyone please give their best argument for the existence of God?

The Flying Spaghetti Monster.\n\nSeriously, the only argument you have is that you can't disprove God. Or, there is a lack of evidence for his inexistence

The universe...\n\nIf anyone else tells you they know for fact what comes before/after this universe is just plain wrong.\n\nThere is nothing to suggest God, there is everything to suggest the universe... Hmmm i wonder which to pick.\n\nBlind faith sounds appealing and all, but i'll go with experience, fact and logic: the universe.

None.  There is no God. \n\nReligion is a primitive attempt at understanding how the world works. It has been completely replaced by the Scientific Method, which is the greatest discovery of all time.\n\nThere is no more evidence for the existence of God than there is for the existence of leprechauns. Better to spend our time enjoying our wonderful world and helping our fellow beings instead of arguing about which brand of imaginary supernatural friend is the "right one".

Please provide your proof that there is a God.\nPlease provide proof in the form of documented fact. And the Bible doesn't count, it has been misinterpreted so often, that it is a joke. If you want to use it as documented "fact", provide documentation that it is actually the word of "god"

If God could get me anywhere near a horse, that would be a miracle; the critters scare me witless.  \n\nYou seem to be asking whether anything short of Direct Communication From The Almighty would suffice to convince me of 1) the existence of an Almighty, and 2) the efficacy and necessity of giving worship to same, via whatever methods he/she/it/they might prescribe.\n\nThe short answer is no.  I echo Sir Bertrand Russell, who planned to say if he should ever meet god: "Lord, I'm very sorry for doubting You, but really, You should have provided better evidence."\n\nI suppose a road-to-Damascus scenario puts me in Sir Bertie's position, and I would have to give in.  Everything has its limits; even my atheism; even my ego; even, alas, me.

If it were obvious, everybody would agree about God's existence. Since not everybody agrees, it can't be called obvious.

I believe in God because I met him (in my heart).\n\nWhy wouldn't you ask God if He exists? There is 0% risk. Indeed : \n1. Either He does not exist, and then you will get no answer....\n2. Either He does exist, and He will show you, a way or another, that He exists and that He loves you.\n\nThen you would know how to "defend yourself".

:}  No one can know anything for a fact beyond any doubt..\n\nEven our very senses fool us. There are dreams and mirages. We’ve all thought we heard saw or smelled something that was inaccurate.\n\nThoreau in Walden Pond, Presented the idea that we could know that we exist because if we did not we could not question whether we did or not.\n\nHaving established that nothing, beyond perhaps our own existence, can be established with absolute certainty, we must proceed to behave as if those things for which there is significant evidence, in fact exist and work as the evidence would suggest they do.\n\nWhile this procedure at times will lead to error, for the most part it is necessary to pursue this line of reasoning, called inductive logic, if we are to conduct normal life functions.\n\nIs there a god?  I use the same process. So for my purposes Yes, as far as my data goes in allowing  me to analyze the information, the preponderance of evidence suggest that God is a certain fact.  \n\nThen using the scientific method it simply remains to see if the predictions I make based on this hypothesis come to be\n\nAnd they have.\n\nI'm 100% sure \n\n\n\nOne additional fact \nMy salvation depends less on my faith than on his faithfulness!

God do not exist anywhere eles, except our imagintaions. "There is not even a slight scientific proof available of the existence of God "-Albert Einstein. Everyone should keep scientific thinking and become Rationalist. Read Rationalism and follow Rationalism... Be Rationalist...

Proof.  I just read through the above answers, and sorry, but no amount of religious zeal or "because I said so, and I believe, therefore I'm right" is going to convince anyone.  quoting scripture, or saying that because you believe Darwin to be wrong, and have some piece of spam to back you up.  The one sentence that would convince me?\n"This is God, you have some explaining to do!"

There is no God.\n\nNext question.

I will try to answer as practical as I can. I believe in him for many reasons. Number one is that I have a personal relationship with him, not some superficial crap. And that, my friend, is simply awesome. Also, he has given meaning to my life, I feel complete with him. \n\nFor a more scientific reason, I think the universe is too perfect to not be the product of an idea. There would be too much left unexplained if God didn’t exist. He’s just too evident for me, his presence is just there. \n\nFinally, I think it’s impossible with make an ABSOLUTE statement about God not existing. Even scientists have to admit we know very little. Read this…\n\nBear in mind that one of the greatest scientists who ever lived, Thomas Edison, said, "We do not know a millionth of one percent about anything." Let me repeat: Let's say that you have an incredible one percent of all the knowledge in the universe. Would it be possible, in the ninety-nine percent of the knowledge that you haven't yet come across, that there might be ample evidence to prove the existence of God? If you are reasonable, you will be forced to admit that it is possible. Somewhere, in the knowledge you haven't yet discovered, there could be enough evidence to prove that God does exist.

I want to convince  people that God doesn't exist for the same reason Christians try to convince people he does exist.  Christians think that if they can convice some one that the Bible is true, then that person will go to heaven when they die.  I think that if I can convince people to stop deluding themselves about God, then we could put aside our differences and Christian, Muslim and Buddhist could work together to make Earth a paradise.

if god is all knowing he cannot possibly contradict himself\nrev. pick

I disbelieve on the grounds of lack of evidence so short of proof being forthcoming I couldn't say I believed God existed. Convictions or subjective opinions don't come into it-it's purely down to a lack of valid evidence.

Well, God is a wonderful creator, \nhe created it beautifually. I agree

Why are you only addressing Atheists in this question?  Don't you think it might be more appropriate to ask everyone?
