Faith.  Believing even when you do not physically see it in front of you.  \n\nI have seen many miracles.  I do believe in God.  He has told messages to people to record and translate.  The BIBLE, should be valued and loved.  I will someday see God face to face.

Faith is not enough to sustain us and make us believe in God. There will be moments when we have doubts.\n\nAll of us wish to have proof. This is the demand of the intellect.\n\nBut there are some things which cannot be proved like in scientific labs.\n\nJust as in science, first we have a hypothesis, we work upon it to prove our theory, similarly first we have to begin with FAITH. but like I said, faith will not help us progress in spirituality. Faith has to change to KNOWLEDGE.\n\nKnowledge about God is a matter of EXPERIENCE. It is difficult to express in many many words to any other person. For example If I have eaten a certain fruit and try to explain the taste to you, I would fail. Similarly no one can explain to someone inexperienced about the pleasure of sex.\n\nEach of us has to create our own personal relationship with God and live according to how he wants us to live caring for our virtues and morality and the outcome of leading such an innocent life is that God reveals Himself to you. for it is not we who have the power to find God until He Himself wishes to make Himself known to a person.

I believe that God created the universe.He created you and me..that's why I believe in Him.I believe His Son Jesus Christ whom He sent to deliver us from the enternal death, I believe the power of His Holy Spirit whom with us today..I believe that God never give us any temptation that made us into sinner. I believe in Him.....I just believe in Him.

God. (cheating) This explanation is what everyone eventually resorts to when the other answers fail. Now, before I go any further, I should make clear that I'm not talking about any of the gods defined in various religions. Throughout all of human history, we've been trying to explain existence. But nobody has ever succeeded. And it's likely that nobody ever will. So we create the concept of God, whose only necessary property is being "that which explains existence." \n\nThis doesn't tell us much about god, though. It doesn't mean that any particular religion is correct. It merely defines god as something which answers The Question, because we have not been able to. \nplease read this http://www.toykeeper.net/philosophy/knowledge

Personally, I most assuredly do believe in the God of the Bible, NOT man-made ideas about Him.\nFor very sound reasoning regarding you questions, I suggest that you read one or more of the following:\n\nWhy Believe in God? : \n...

I would and do believe in God.  \n\nIf in the end I was wrong, who cares?  \n\nIf someone does not believe and then finds God is real, whoops!

i know that there is only one God because i have seen Him work in my life in ways that no one or nothing else could possibly do. God is amazing and you just have faith that he is real, he can change your life. do you believe in creation? if so then you must realize how amazing God really is to create such a complex world! He can do anything! i know that God is real because i see it when i look around me.

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

God exists & for those who do not beleive they ought to research the truth but they always like to satisfy their ignorance justifying all wrong attitudes they love to adopt.\n\nWhy He created us? because He loved us. Why a woman wants to have a baby what a man wants to be a father? To love His children, see them grow, Happy, fulfilled. Then at a certain time God will rake us all home again where we belonged the first place.

You have to understand first that we are not on the same realm as God.  God is higher than us.  His ways and his thought are higher than ours.  We should never question anything that God has done\n\nAs for where God came from...God has always been.  It is hard for us to imagine this because we think only as humans.  To us,  there is a beginning and an ending to all things.  Not to God.  God always has been and always will be.

That more often than not , we continue to believe in\n God as a superior being, and ourselves as the examples\n of a less superior' \n\n  But the truth is that he would set us apart from being an   example................................ to be like him...  \n\n                                                          thanks/&#92;/&#92;/&#92;

These answers are silly.\n\nJust admit that you belive in God because it makes you feel good.\n\nAs for people claiming proof...\n-The Bible is no more proof than the Chronicales of Narnia.\n\n-The complexity of everything is not proof because if a complex object requires a creator, than the complex creator requires a creator.\n\n-The rarity of live on earth is the oppsite of proof for diety.  If god created the universe for us it would encourage human life.  The universe is a blackhole creating machine.  In no way does it encourage life.\n\n-The need for proof does not fall on the non-beliver, it falls on the beliver.  If I told you I have an invisable car could you prove I dont?  Exactly!\n\n-Darwin opened a line of questioning that most of it is proven.  We can now trace our history back nearly 2 mil. years an over several genetic changes.  People saying evolution is false are just lieing!

We can trust God more when we better know and understand the nature and character of God. Then we can taste him better and trust him more. He is trustworthy. \n\nTo know Him more intimate, read the Bible. Talk to God in prayer. Trust Him every detail of your life.

Why should someone believe?  There's no proof.\n\nI find it interesting that so many people equate God with an accountability in their lives.  Are you so terrified that without someone holding a big stick and a carrot over your head you'll do something awful.  Take some responsibility for yourself, do the right thing because it's right, not because you are afraid of the consequences or desire a reward.  How juvenile.

Knowing and believing are two different things.  You would like God to reveal himself to you so you could know he exists.  I agree. That would make more sense than giving you a brain and then expecting you to believe what you can't see.

I believe in God.  I believe man wrote the Bible, and I agree with you that it is inaccurate.  That does not mean that God does not exist.  For the same reason, just because you do not accept part of it, does not mean you cannot accept God.
