without quoting scripture or the bible, ++ I am serious>, ty ted

Its doubtful, its doubtful though that 80 percent of what we learned in school could be PROVEN by any of us without resorting to some book or document written by someone else. PROOF and TRUTH that does not lie in the writings of someone else, is a rarity.

nope.. Even using scriptures...proves nothing unless your believe them to be gods word.

Can you prove there's not a God?

Just HIS WORD! You either believe or you don't!

God can't be proven to exist but can't be proven to not exist either. No Religion is proven to be real not even science it is all based on theory and faith. The TRUTH is based on faith and PROOF is based on evidence.
The Bible was not written by God it was written by man. I believe in god but I do not believe in the bible. The chances of us being alive in the first place is almost zero so its hard to believe we are here by accident. It is up to you to decide what you believe in

GOOD ONE!

Thanks! You had a good comment also!

I was around 11 or 12 years old. I was laying on the couch watching TV in the living room on my parents farm. Questioning the idea of God and the reasons for life. The common things we think of while feeling "the darkness". I was in a state of prayer, when I asked "If you are real give me a sign." Not even 2 seconds later a bolt of lightning hit the telephone pull in the front yard. Right in my line of sight. Causing the whole farm to go into blackness and for the pole to burst into flames. In the pure darkness of the night it began to rain since a storm moved through. I quivered and was afraid for a few minutes, but then I got warm since of feeling. That there is an energy out there. It does respond, it will hear prayer.

All you guys need to watch "zeitgeist"......

lovely

Just use your eyes and ears, and experience the spiraling insanity all around you on this wonderful planet, which is just a tiny bitty speck of nothing, floating in space. Every single star, the light of which took a very long time to arrive here, is another whole solar system, or at least there is a chance there is a new solar system around each. First of all, not only are you yourself here and alive now in this wonderful time, but you have an entire planet of potential new friends to meet...or not. Secondly, this entire planet is home to a nearly unlimited amount of other forms of life, from plants and algae, to animals and birds. You don't have to even be able to read the Bible (or any book) to know that there is a God. Just look around and think about it. Something had to start all of this. Sure, random chance could have done it, but the chances are so infinitesimally small, that Occam's Razor eliminates that as the cause of it all. (I think it's Occam's Razor anyway)

Honestly, we can't show you a birth certificate for Jesus but Christianity is more about believing that once you die in this life your not just dead, you go to heaven or hell. It also gives us the strength to keep trying. so Truthfully, there really is no "Proof" but thats not the point.

The point of being a christian and believing in God, is to put your life in something greater than you.

A lot of people will tell you that believing in God is a crutch in life. Thats so far from the truth. It takes so much effort everyday to put every single aspect of my life and turn it over to God. But I'm learning every day.


So, I really hope you weren't just trying to start something and I pray that one of us touched you emotionally. :)

I can prove to you there is a God...

but, uhm.... it's going to cost you.

nope

if you want to believe you will

if you don't want to believe you won't

its up to the individual to decide which is worse,

living your life as if there is no God and finding out there is one

or living your life as if there is a God and finding out there isnt

well put

Agreed.
At the same time, without a god we wouldn't really get the chance to realize his lack thereof.

I thinks it's simple...

Something cannot come from nothing. Someone (or something, however you see it), had to create it.

Look in any mirror.

Somewhere behind your eyes is god.

God is everywhere! Look around you.You don't have to be blind to see.We are all sinners put on this earth to learn.The choices you make are the paths your paving for yourself.Take a look what others have done, there is a fork in the road,only you can deside.No proof needed for me,I can see,where I need to be.
