How many of you have already bought your calendar for next year?
How many of you have already made plans for the next few years?
Many have or will.
Does anyone know they will be here tomorrow? Next month? Next year?
Does anyone have proof their existence will continue?
No. It's blind faith.


Whether people believe or not, God will still be there. Guiding the path of all.

Planning for the future is not based on blind faith.It is based on reasonable calculation.If you are in your twenties,it is reasonable to assume that you have another fifty years to live,based on average life expectancy.The fact that you may not reach that age does not alter the fact that the majority of people will.There is no proof that the sun will rise tomorrow but based on experience it is reasonable to assume that it will.It doesn't require blind faith whatsoever.There is no good reason to believe that you will cease to exist in the near future,in this scenario.Not to plan for that future would be foolish.I was under the impression that God allowed you to choose your own path.

I don't think the answer matters...
It's not like we'll be immortals/get filthy rich once we have the correct answer (considering there's one)

Let's say X i about to have an operation with 10% probability of survival. For him God is the hope that he'll live.... ofcourse 90% the guy won't survive the operation...still, he'd have a bit of hope until the last moment right?

Well. That is THE question isn't it? Lots of passionate folks here it seems. I'll just say that I have no idea if God is real. But I do know that the universe is real and that I'm a part of it. I'm content with that.

Yes he is good God, who love so much, he give his son Jesus Christ, so everyone who believe him will come to eternal live

Amen

The answer is out there, you just need to research it. Oh wait most people don't do that, they just believe most everything they were told from an early age. In fact the younger the child is when you start implanting information into them, the more they believe it, as they grow up. Those that learned from books like the bible believe the stories in it are all real. Those that question it start to learn for themselves what is real, not just accept someone's word.

Don't believe me, don't believe us or them, don't take anyone's word for it, just search for yourself. Research religion and how it started, research when it started, the results will surprise many of you.

I will always love my God..he’s not in a book or a building..he is in my heart, thoughts and dreams.. and as crazy as this world is getting.?..he might be coming for a visit soon enough..lol..

It is not reasonable to assume anything. All we have, and are, is right at this moment.

God made life a mystery so we are urged to seek Him, The Truth.

You say "it is not reasonable to assume anything",based on the fact that the sun has risen roughly 12 hours after sunset,depending on your location,for quite some time I find it reasonable to assume it will continue to do so in the future.
You say "all we have and are is right at this moment".We all have a history and we are a product of our past experiences.Most of us have a future to look forward to.
If God made life a mystery then it would be reasonable to try and solve the mystery of life but who is urging us to seek Him ?
The topic asks if god exists but you assert "God made life a mystery",you are assuming the question has been answered.I doubt if there are many people who would question my assumption that the sun will rise tomorrow but there are many who would question your statement.Of course those who question your position could all be wrong and the sun might not rise tomorrow.My money is on the sun rising tomorrow.If my assumption is unreasonable and it turns out that I am wrong then we may find the answer to the mystery of life.

I have recognized God in life experience. God is truth. God is mysterious and recognized by people in different ways.

I do not believe magic is possible, but I certainly do believe in God.

God or God's only exists to those who believes in that.

Existence alone only exists but however it was created is a mystery. I don't think references to man made religions is solving the puzzle but only dividing the world in arguments.

What authority are you providing as a basis for this assertion ?

No coincidences, either.

The answer is that there is a lack of evidence for any God existing to give authentic authority. The late Stephen Hawking said interesting comments ,quote :

"We are each free to believe what we want, and it’s my view that the simplest explanation is; there is no God. No one created our universe, and no one directs our fate.“ This leads me to a profound realization that there probably is no heaven and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe and for that, I am extremely grateful."“Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. But now science offers a more convincing explanation. What I meant by ‘we would know the mind of God’ is, we would know everything that God would know, if there were a God, which there isn’t. I’m an atheist.”

Whilst I agree with the statement,"we are free to believe what we want",I do not accept that the assertion that "there is no God" is any simpler than saying, there is a God.The statement "there is probably no heaven or afterlife" is related to religious beliefs and doctrines.Even if there is a God that does not imply that there is an afterlife or a heaven.Abscence of evidence is not evidence of abscence.There are many who will assert that there is ample evidence of the existence of God.For some,science may offer a more convincing explanation but science is still looking for a more satisfactory explanation.

Does God exist..I don't know..believe as you will ..doesn't make it so one way or the other...

IS mean exists only when you gain wisdom to know for yourself is POWER from god

hay

Science gives us the details of what happened.
Belief gives us the why it happened.

Perhaps both conditions exist at the same time?
Thus, science and religion seem to work together (right now).

But see, there is missing parts to both.
There are certain parts that don't maker sense one way or the other.
Perhaps, just a suggestion, there is a third option nobody has considered yet?

Lets say science figures out the Why?
What does that tell us?
Is that the end of the equation or is there something more that needs an explanation?

Lets just say the change of state happens because of some until now, unknown force, that exists in everything everywhere.
Now we know why the Universe erupted.
What actually happened at the first stages of that instant that caused a change?
It supposes something beyond the actual Universe that exists.
Was it GOD?
Was it a condition of static?

Being locked in a dynamic Universe, there is no way we can know what happens in a Universe that freezes to absolute zero everywhere. Without having a model of that condition, science cannot attempt to explain the forces that occurred.
In other words, we can NEVER know.

So, the human mind being what it is, we have only one explanation and that is GOD.
When push comes to shove, the final equation always reverts to GOD (Unknown Force) starting it all.

To understand this concept one must first understand what a Universe at absolute zero entails. Everything is frozen, Not just matter, energy as well.
The spin of atomic particles have stopped. No forces are being generated. Including gravity.
Then SOMETHING initiates a change in state.
That something, (unknown at this time) might be some natural force that exists outside our known laws of the Universe.
But, lets say we define it someday.
Something had to cause that force to act.
So again, God or some hereto unknown force caused that other unknown force to initiate change to the Universe?

Now, fast-forward 13.7 billion years. Matter is still erupting into existence.
We have no idea why or what the mechanism is that causes it but it is still happening.
If we can figure out the mechanism that creates matter we might have a better understanding of how the Universe erupted.
The Universe is expanding but it is expanding from all points at the same time. That is why we can't trace the expansion back to a single point at the event.


The expansion is happening constantly.
We can't detect it because we are locked into a specific realm of relativity.
Given the vastness of space, it shows as an expansion.
If we could gain a relative view on that scale, we would see the expansion but we can't because it is beyond our current abilities to detect.

Perhaps life itself is a condition of that expansion?
When that expansion has finally expanded it very last time, perhaps the Universe will start to cool to absolute zero?
Finally, when no more expansion is possible and atomic structures slow to a halt and the Universe becomes a vast frozen wasteland of matter, another change will happen that starts everything moving again.
It won't be the mechanism that causes the state change but the mechanism that initiates the change that causes the change.
That, might be some kind of God or baseline force that exists outside the Universe?

Its that Unknown Force that can be called GOD, if you need that name.
If God is what you need to give you inner contentment, I see no problem?
Since I believe mankind will never know the nature of the Unknown Force that started the change that created the Universe, I choose to call that force God. It gives me inner peace.
