Existence of GOD...?

"God is formless, because if He possesses a form He could never be Omnipresent, nor, therefore Omniscient; since a finite substance can possess only finite attributes, actions and nature. Besides, He could never be free from hunger and thirst, heat and cold, disease, imperfections and injuries. This proves, therefore, that God is formless. If He were to possess a body, another person would be required to make the different organs of His body, such as eyes, ears and the like, for He, who is the product of the combination of the different parts, must have an intelligent formless maker. Here if it be argued that God Himself made His own body simply by willing it, this too goes to prove that He was formless before He made His body. It is clear, therefore, that God is never embodied. Being without a body He is able to make the visible universe out of invisible (subtle) causes... Nor can the incarnation of God be demonstrated by reason, just as the saying of a man, that space entered a womb or was put in a closed hand, can never be true, for space being Infinite and Omnipresent can neither go in, nor come out; similarly, God, being Infinite and All-pervading, it can never be predicated of him that He can go in or come out. Coming and going can be possible only if it be believed that there are places where He is not. Then was not God already present in the womb and was not He already present outside that He is said to have gone into and come out of it? Who but men devoid of intelligence, can believe in and say such things about God? Therefore, it should be understood that Christ and other were also not incarnations of the Deity — being subject to fear and grief, births and deaths, they were all men."

  Pure assumptions. Just like religion. Religions assume lot of things on behalf of god by assuming that god is answering them.
  
  Why god has to be formless to be omnipotent ? Have we tested the power of omniscience to say that it requires no form ?
  
  One more escaping theist statement is god is beyond logic, in that case you're praying to something that is beyond logic ? Err, it's like sending Mobile SMS-text to radar beacons. And that way people even want to be with god ? Holy Pamela-anderson how come one can be with god by assuming he's beyond consciousness and logic?
  
  If you keep on answering questions on these lines you'll see that unless you test and verify you can't prove anything. Mere assumptions are personal opinion and we can chew lot of bubblegum with it.

  you are saying this by denoting to only religion. But one thing I have to clear that God is beyond the religion. Because no religion is so perfect to prove it's theory, personally i don't believe in any religion.

  Well first assumption here you made is god exist,which you can't prove. If we're created from god then there is creation for god as well. You can't assume that he created himself or he's without creations. If you moving with that reasoning then those are again your assumption.
  
  One point you need to think about is if god exist, he gives damn to what is going on in universe. Any intellect that created this universe will not waste time accepting prayer emails and species management on any random planet. if he's cause of creation of species then he can create similar like us any time he wanted, he's got no reason to accept prayers or have time for thinking about us.
  
  Besides anything we assume for god is just mere assumption, cause we started with assumption that god exists.

  One thing I have to mention world is the combination of three things- God, Soul and Matter. These three things are eternal, they can't birth or die. God means if you take example of any object in world have some reason. like chair made by carpenter by woods for other. this principle applies to all universe.

  no dear now you are thinking about soul which was explained in many religions, means souls that become ghost or can be seen with eyes. But i don't believe the souls like that. soul is so micro that it can't be seen by naked eyes. and anybody is trying to prove it then i don't think this is possible. every body cell have its own life they who are we? means we are different from body. we know that body become unconscious after death means the consciousness is the property of soul.

  God is greater than us so thinking that doing odd things by God is impossible. Because then you will say that why he is alone, why he is not creating another God for help and many other questions. If God take a form then he will not present in all universe, he became from only one region then it is impossible to him to handle all universe.

  Hogwash. There is no god.
  
  There is no creator of the universe. No singular individual created the universe.
  
  You want to get in the creator debate, you better bring more than your sad assumptions.
  
  The Earth wasn't created by any singular individual either, nor was humanity brought forth by the power of any individual entity.
  
  The Earth progressed/evolved on it's own. The Earth came to be because of the universe exists. Human life came about from Earth's progression/evolution forward.
  
  To say anything else is simply unsupported by an facts/truth.

  This is total nonsense. Why even mention science if you are postulating a god from nowhere? Are you going to scientifically show us this god?
  
  And - does this invisible god have any instructions for us? Do you have a message from it? Will I go to a special place when I die if I believe? Will it make any difference if I pray to it? DO I need to do anything at all?
  
  If not - who needs it?
  
  If so - it sounds awfully like religion to me.....

  let me explain God is not person link stated in many religions, it is one type of energy which is maintenance all universe. You can say this energy God, Means he is formless, and if you are thinking about how he do all natural activities then the answer is simple that by combining smallest particles in the world, science is also going towards this concept and call him Nanotechnology.

  if you think that all universe created by one big ban or some thing else then you have to prove that all the matter in the universe is created after that. But this is not possible because nothing can be created from zero.

  Meaningless garbage. Because your next argument is going to be that matter can be created from zero - but only if a magical invisible super being does it.
  
  What are you arguing for? To prove that you do not understand the big bang? That much is clear. Not a big fan myself, but it certainly does not say that something came from nothing. All the energy required was already there.

  Let's start with spelling "big-bang". Another thing you have no clue about Big-bang. It starts from singularity, All matter and energy existed in an infinitely small point of infinite density a long time ago, and has since been expanding as our universe.
  
  This is where God concept fails and not big-bang. As even god requires creation as it can't come from zero.

  I didn't said that big ban theory. I know matter is alway there. But to happen this cause there must be some reason like use of it and the Processor who will do that. According to me this is done by God for soul form matter don't include any religion in it.

  what do you mean by energy also, are you considering only fire and electricity are the form of energy? suppose if you have to move any object then you have to use some type of energy. Like that some type of energy is present in the universe which is maintaining this universe. I think there will be some time to know more about it scientifically.

  Not knowledgeable ? Poetry has it's use for those in faith. So it's not waste for those who follow religion. Ayurveda has it's uses same goes for charak/sushruta text. But if you want to get answers for cosmology then sure it is dated and has religious touch which helps it go down more.
  
  Vedas are part of santan dharma for describing universe and our lifestyle. But taking it too ahead for the sake of flaunting ancestors by calling as ALL-knowledge in competence with science is far fetched in my opinion. (i don't fall for those RSS propaganda of saying everything was there is veda and science is now discovering it part)
