I have been having a hard time believing in God lately; well, really for quite a while. Let me preface this by saying that I believe in Heaven, Hell, and Angels. I just have a hard time believing in God. Part of me feels like my mind can't accept God. Not to sound above all, but it's like my intellect won't let me grasp something that there is no proof of. I have even gone as far as wondering how intellectual people could even believe in God, which I know is irrelevent because people of all intellects believe in God. To me the Bible is just a book, written and edited by men over and over. Nothing in the Bible we read is concrete and what read now has been so deluded over the centuries how do we even know it was what was originally written? Plus, you have the different views of God. The God that only allows those in Heaven that follow a certain path, and then the God who allows anyone who repents in Heaven. The whole concept of God just baffles me and I am wondering why people can blindly believe.

  Proof? Proof is the ego talking.
  
  There is proof -- the universe exist, therefore He IS. I'm sure Rene Descartes would approve.
  
  Proof is you too afraid to walk down the fireman's ladder when your 10th story apartment is in flames.
  
  God is the artist and the universe is the painting, the canvas, the space for the canvas and the time which allows the canvas to persist beyond the moment of creation.
  
  God is love and abundance, but only if you ask. But the problem is, most people ask for one thing and expect something entirely different -- blinded by ego and a lack of awareness.
  
  God speaks to those who are humble and who really want Him. This is by design. For the trap only loosens with humility and faith. God's children are in the trap by choice; and they have to chose to leave.
  
  You cannot walk on water by using doubt any more than you can hammer a nail with a ripe orange.

  Belief in God is a natural, rational state of mind. It doesn't need to be proved or backed up by literature or phenomena. It doesn't need to be argued or fretted over for belief in God is a peaceful knowledge that concerns only you. Of all the things we find to fight over, God need never be one of them.

  GOD IS!!! I understand your question, doubts, fears, etc. But, I pose a question to you: Is gravity real? You can't see it, touch it, or feel it. But, you believe it's there. Why? Because that's what you learned from a book. Faith remains if you allow it. I know you believe in God because you are asking this question. How many things can you say you don't believe in, but you want others opinions about it?

Ultimately there is no proof, anyne can say look at the sky, a flower, a child and you will see God but that is all based on belief, faith, environment. I personally do not believe in hell, heaven, angels, or God as a deity as depicted by traditional religions, I think they are or have been created through history by humanity to control masses. I do believe in an afterlife but I believe once we die and based on what we have believed, or what we have been conditioned through our life that is the environment we end up. I have had experiences that make me believe this way but that is another long story,

Creation is proof of the Creator. No escaping the fact there has to be one, it is just a matter of whether you are willing to seek the real One or instead choose to create an imaginary god who suits you better. Let anyone talk long enough about how they think we got here and they will eventually have to credit the obvious design and engineering to something, and that is their god. Some create many gods to appease the need everyone has to come to terms with our existence. We all know design requires a designer and for man to take pride in the intelligence required for our grandest accomplishments yet deny the intelligence behind the most basic cell which exponentially eclipses that accomplishment in complexity is foolishness and denial of the highest degree. So step one is to accept what everyone really already knows...there has to be a God.

I don't think I'm being egotistical by asking for proof. I guess I just don't think there is a singular deity that of God. Saying there has to be a God because we exist and the universe exist doesn't make proof for me. Saying that you just need to accept doesn't work for me. Why should I accept? Again, through personal experiences, I believe in angels and believe in heaven and hell, but as different plains.

Where? Everywhere and most especially you are the most relevant proof. Certainly, with so much gobble-goop out there, distractions, deflections, doctrines etc, which have been sewn into humans for ages, it is only natural people ask this question, among others. You were designed and created to already know and understand Creator and creation. You are the reflection of both. It is genetically built into you. No such ineptness exists. No need to question it, only remember it -and enjoy. Yes, I know this dismisses every pro or con notion of g/Gods, but I will not apologize for it. Perhaps, this question and others you have is a sign that your true self and the forgotten information is trying to surface...

  In no way told him/her not to question. My statement was there is no need to question. Everyone knows and understands the answer. It is a matter of letting go of the issue -the chaos and illusive images man has made to compensate for his affliction. Simple really.

  Well, you did mention God, which is why I mentioned what g/Gods...
  As for necessity, it is clear you missed my point, which is fine.
  
  Necessity = ineptness or a lack of something. To me, this individual is NOT inept, is not lacking but is unnecessarily divided in their thinking -aka they are Reasoning.
  
  Mathematically, every question is its own answer. Example:
  Where is proof of God || Where = proof of God.
  
  Where is equal to Proof of, therefore it has answered itself.
  Reverse the process and you come to precisely the same conclusion:
  Proof of God is Where? || Proof of God = Where
  
  The human psyche is dualistic, that is how it is genetically programmed. to provide all scenarios of solution. Therefore, all information of every parameter of Q & A // A & Q already exists. A solution is the unified Q//A, also called understanding. Understanding or Philos when divided is necessity, because a parallel//wedge has been formed. Due to the many probabilities of thought, there can appear the likelihood of many Q//A A//Q that are nearly identical else having multiple Q//A's, but they are still the same united solution. Ergo, no need or necessity to question, else another solution is ripped apart causing irregularities//variables defined as Reason.

  Necessity = the fact of being required or indispensable; an indispensable thing.
  
  Sorry you math is not adding up. (Where) does not equal (proof in God). (Where) is a question and (proof in God) is what he question is asking. So the answer to the question (proof in God) is not (where).
  
  The human mind is not dualistic. This is proven by shutting down the brain with medication during surgery. When the brain shuts down the mind shuts down because they are one.

  If something is required, the thing is therefore inept, incomplete, having division, variables.
  
  So, let's see..
  
  Textual:
  four is greater than three. three is less than four. four less one is three. four threes is twelve. three fours is twelve.
  Numeric:
  4 = >3; 3 = <4; 4 - 1 = 3 || 3 = -1 + 4 or 3 = 4 -1; 4(3) = 12 || 3(4) = 12;
  In every instance the = {is} balances the equation. Where = proof || proof = where.
  
  Mathematically, the universe has no questions or answers, yet has both. The both united is the solution. The universe is not required, nor having requirement, yet contains every probability of every instance. The human mind is the same. The human mind was designed to understand itself and the universe. Therefore, as said earlier it is not necessary to question, only to realize or experience the solution.

  When Einstein was working on the general theory of relativity he had to add a variable because his math led him to think the universe was expanding, but at the time the universe was thought to be static. When we take away his variable we see the the math includes dark matter and it works perfectly.
  
  Mathematically the universe should not only move forward in time. In the math time should go either way. The math shows us that the future is happening at the same time as the past depending on perspective. So much for free will.
  
  The human mind is not he same. That's why we can only go forward in time. Your math using words is heavily flawed.

  Time is irrelevant. It is a variable itself.
  Movement is not necessary either, which removes the time variable.
  
  And again, just because something works does not make it fact or correct -it just means that system reached a solution - as in "removing His variable ... it worked perfectly".
  
  Oh, contrare, the human mind is nearly identical to the universe, as more quantum is showing. The mind not only understands the universe, it communicates through it, with it and because of it. The human mind "moves" with the universe, etc. The mind, like the universe is one giant ball of EMR aka light. Humans -ironically- think otherwise, which is one area hindering their final evolution >> or better said restoration to their previous stasis of existence. Free will {previous stasis of existence} is therefore hindered by the variable. The variable being Reason. This is Philos 102.
  reality is energy x necessity -to the present human being- but actually immortality/free will//understanding is energy less necessity.

  Time is not irrelevant and is connect with movement and gravity. This is what Einsteins general theory of relativity states. Movement doesn't exist without time and the passage of time is connected to movement and gravity. Other have tried to prove Einstein wrong and all have failed, unless you have something to offer.

  As for this:
  Time is not irrelevant and is connect with movement and gravity.
  Movement doesn't exist without time.
  Time is connected to movement and gravity.
  
  You just proved it: time is irrelevant.
  Movement cannot exist without Time. Therefore movement is also irrelevant and gravity also. All three are essentially the same thing. Three variables. Remove the variable and you have the solution.
  
  Case in point: your mind does not move, nor concur time, yet can summon any given instance, if applied//varied. Example: Right now I am seeing//experiencing myself on the beach in Castries even though I look outside my window and it is dreary, cold and rainy. Gravity, distance/timespace nor movement is required. Therefore they are irrelevant.

Why is belief in God natural? Ever since I was little God has not been something I 100% believe in. Just because you believe in God doesn't make it natural for all to believe. To doubt would be natural. It's just a concept I can't quite grasp. Perhaps because in most view, God is a singular deity. I can't see it that way. I guess this is why it's hard for me because even here no one can give any absolute truth.

Plus, when you think of all the negative things happen it's even harder to believe in God. You have rapists murderers, etc. , war, famine, etc. Plus, you have those who are so religious that they condemn those who are not like them in beliefs, sexual preference, etc. Why would God make people like that, on either side? So their existence is proof of god?

The function of a deity in human consciousness is to bridge the psyche from the child-parent relationship to the I-the-adult. You pray to ask G-d for food, protection etc. in the same way a child does to a parent. If you are having problems believing in G-d, that means you are discouraged or disillusioned. It is slowly dawning on you that you are on your own. The next stage will be the I-god.
The G-d within stage which means you will feel that the power is in your hands, and you make the miracles happen by owning the power and being accountable. There is something in you that is more powerful than what you see. But this does not come without first shedding the child-parent G-d. The one that provides and protects - the projection of the discontinued child psyche that needs a Father to aid him.

The real G-d however, the Supreme Being is another thing that can only be relegated to mystery. You can take the esoteric route and be surprised to find another way of looking at it that is more holistically satisfying without being sucked into the obsolete conception of the child-parent G-d. If you doubt, ask the questions and then have the courage to search for the answers. It usually leads to something amazing and worthwhile.

Goodluck!

So if it's so simple, why can't I just let go and believe? You say it's simple. It's not. And there is nothing wrong with paganism as there is nothing wrong with Christianity. It's all a belief system. But simply believing in God, when looking at how the world is, is not simple. And again, many of these posts are simply words, like the Bible. No proof. Maybe going to very religious sites would help me believe in more. And yet, it still baffles even myself that I believe in angels, heaven, hell.

bBerean - that in itself is another dilemma. What proof do I need to believe? I don't really know. I believe in Heaven and Hell without no real proof (i.e. not having been there personally). And I believe in Angels because when my mother was passing she saw "people" standing around her bedside. So I just don't know what proof. I do know that the Bible and just talk is not proof.

On another note, I came across a theory that may be what I need. It's called Pantheism. Perhaps this is more towards what I need. I plan to research further.

  What is this squared circle of which you speak?
  
  Wikipedia:
  Squaring the circle is a problem proposed by ancient geometers. In 1882, the task was proven to be impossible, as a consequence of the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem which proves that pi (π) is a transcendental, rather than an algebraic irrational number; that is, it is not the root of any polynomial with rational coefficients.
  
  I'm not sure what the square root of 153 has to do with full moons, but I'll do the math and find out. The square root of 153 is 12.369316876853. The number of full moons for 2012 is 13.
  I don't see the connection. Now if we take the square of 169 then we get the number of moons in 2012, but so what?

  There are a couple of ways to square the circle. I am taling about a circle imposes over a square, where the two have the same perimeters. If you like, I can provide a link to a diagram of this, but only if you ask because I'm feeling lazy today.
  
  There are not a full 13 moons in a year. That is just the rounded up average. 153 is an "important" number, it even shows up in the Bible in the fish parable. It has to do with basic geometry and the vesica pisces. I can provide a link to that as well if you want. (at the very least, the writer of that section of the bible knew his geometry, but I think there is much more to it than that)
  
  But if you are only messing with me, and aren't really interested, then I won't worry about it. I have tons of links I could show you, because I can't show you the diagrams and geometric figures etc, in this forum. I'm not technically inclined and I don't know how to post pictures yet. If you really are interested in sacred geometry, then I will do my best to explain it to you, or point you in a direction of websites who can do a much better job of it than I can.

  The Earth and the Moon fit perfectly into a squared circle. There are many examples of this type of coincidence that cannot be explained by physics. These things aren't random. It's not random the apparent sizes of the sun and moon are the same. These are just the most obvious things. Like why should bodily processes like respiration and heartbeat have the same numbers as measurements of the sun and moon? People say these things are random coincidences that are just chance. I just don't believe that's true. I think they are signs from God to alert us to His presence in the process of Salvation. It is a process, in my experience. Physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
  
  However, I don't think it happens unless you actively seek answers to questions like "Who am I" and "Why am I here?" That's when God starts giving you clues, and you start to see things differently.

  This is basic sacred geometry. You need to start from the beginning if you really want to get it. It takes at least a couple of months just to figure out the geometry if you're like me and you didn't start out knowing anything about it. You seem intelligent enough to me, you could probably understand it all quicker than I can (not saying I understand it all, as I get it through intuition, and then I have to go backwards and learn the math)
  
  Thing is, if you aren't really wanting answers, you won't see what I'm seeing. Plus, as soon as I understood what was going on, the knowlege through intuition stopped. Now it is completely internal. My knowlege of God is beyond faith or belief. His presence is with me always now. I no longer need hints and clues, so I don't get them anymore.

I can understand your misgivings, but it is good that you have some sense for heaven, hell and angels. How can that be, you might ask? Obviously, you never saw any of these, but in your loving mom's case, she "saw" angels and said so--how blessed are you to have such faith to accept this. And, that is exactly where the proof of God lies: in faith. We can argue back and forth but even scientists have pondered this question and one famous physicist actually meticulously and mathematically got the whole sense for matter down to a "thought" not an atom or molecule, but a thought. Whose thought?

My speculation would have to be Someone who obviously was intelligent enough to sort everything out that we can't. St. Thomas Aquinas, a great theologian, pondered this very question. In his Summa Theologica, he gives five reasons why God exists. The first reason is that someone had to put things in motion. This ultimately had to have been done from a single entity or a First Mover. So, God's thought put into action everything we know of. The second reason is that it took a "cause" or reason to be. God is considered the "First Efficient Cause" and anything and everything emanates from Him and the effect would be heaven, hell, angels, humans, earth, etc. The third reason is that there ultimately must be Someone who has been from all time. Since everything we know of has a beginning and an end, we can postulate that God, who neither has a beginning or an end, remains as the Sole Being--Infinite. The fourth reason is that everything we see around us, including ourselves was made with a "value" or reason for being; therefore, only one Being could be the creator or source of all beings, and this is God. Finally, we know that not every person or every living being is endowed with a perfected intelligence. We know instinctively that it would take a "genus" of great intelligence to create such a wonderful world/universe as ours. It is this Being that sees the interconnection between all things past, present, future; created and yet to be created; that belong to this earth and beyond this worldly understanding.

So the long and short of this is that it takes an act of faith to believe this about God, but I cannot help but know that it has to be a very special Being who made you, me, the animals, everything.

God is this very Being who made the decision through His own Will (thought) to create this world and this universe. He initiated it and everything flows from His Thought and lives with a purpose, order and value. It is said that God who is All Knowing and creates everything, also draws everything back to Himself.Thus, we can honestly say, then in as much understanding as we humanly can is that our source and being comes from God.

  I think, then, you are on the right track.
  An "entity" delimits Creator to a typical mental, emotional or mythological "g/God" or "Supreme Being".
  Creator is not a being that judges actions for some small span of living then poof, off to the fires with ya -else to the happy place. If fact, the judgment came/went already -according to the Judeo-Christian perspective. So, what remains is an opportunity to expound the vast relationship and true purpose of human existence: an immortal life of body, brain and spirit that reflects what Creator is and [His] surrounding creation.
  
  It is no secret to figure out or mystery of hide-seek-find. It is quite simple and evidential. Very little energy//effort is required and even less thought required.

  It seems that if you look back at what the term "god" describes in myth and various cultures, you will see that it usually pertains to governing forces that decides fate. In Hinduism, G-d is consciousness and we are vessels of that consciousness. The body is created by that consciousness and it likes to embody itself as all of us.
  
  So yes, G-d in this context can be punitive if you are towards yourself. But G-d can also be benevolent if you are. It is really about as I mentioned above the algorithm you are operating on.

Basic math shows you that all numbers emanated from zero and it radiates into infinity.

Zero is not nothing. It is an abstract of a starting point. Math is cyclical. You always reach to versions of zero, as in 10, 100, 1000, 10,000 etc. Fractals show that the same image repeats itself in varying scales.

Numbers describe the relationship of abstracts, and can be used to predict outcomes. So while they are imagined, they are in fact portraying invisible dynamics of forces. Weight, height, distance etc. These are all depicting forces that expand, contract and how they relate to each other.

Fractal geometry reveals that nature is made up of algorithms. a twig, repeats as the branch, the tree and even the forest. So if your head, your brain is the twig, what is its equivalent forest?

You can even see the same patterns of the community of cells and human communities. While we don't look like a cell, our behaviours are like cells forming colonies as organs, forming units of countries made of individuals who behave and function in relatively similar ways. Planets rotate around stars in same basic way that electrons orbit around a nucleus.

endless patterns repeating itself.

My conclusion is the human is a microcosm of a larger entity that has the same, but larger conscious intent, to expand its knowledge and to grow and survive and learn more about itself.

It is a conclusion based on what I learned.

Atheism is a philosophy of "lets not believe anything that may point to the fact that I'm going to hell"

But fact is, everything repeats in varying scales. So if we have consciousness and everything repeats, then what are we in larger scales? Its mathematical proof. Actual proof, well we can't really grow larger than ourselves just as a neuron cannot go outside the brain and look at the face of the being that contained it. a neuron can only observe itself and the neurochemical that is flooding it.

  Just as I suspected. You don't understand what consciousness is and how it's tested. Consciousness is the state of being awake and aware of one's surroundings. Not all animals have this, as a matter of fact only a few do.
  
  Wikipedia
  The best known research technique in this area is the mirror test devised by Gordon G. Gallup, in which an animal's skin is marked in some way while it is asleep or sedated, and it is then allowed to see its reflection in a mirror; if the animal spontaneously directs grooming behavior towards the mark, that is taken as an indication that it is aware of itself. Self-awareness, by this criterion, has been reported for chimpanzees and also for other great apes, the European Magpie, some cetaceans and a solitary elephant.

  Are animals conscious?
  When we look in the brains of animals that we're pretty sure are conscious, we see a certain organization. And it's very similar to the organization in a monkey or a cat or a dog. So the answer to your question is I'm reasonably confident that mammals are conscious, any mammal. And I think it's part of being a mammal. And it's mostly because I think being conscious helps you learn things faster. Consciousness helps you acquire learning that you either wouldn't get or wouldn't get as quickly or wouldn't get as well, but at the moment I mostly think, it's mammals. I don't believe spiders are conscious, for example. They don't learn a heck of a lot, you know. They can do crazy, wonderful things, but I don't think they learn much.
  
  What a joke, he's telling what HE THINKS. First he says he's reasonably confident mammals are conscious because of some organization. He's guessing because he doesn't speak of any studies and then just says spider don't have consciousness because they are spiders and don't need to learn.

  Considering Larry Bradley does not talk about human consciousness, but instead claims it can be used to predict animal populations, it is puzzling how you managed to come to your conclusions.
  
  He assigns "r" as the value representing the "so-called driving parameter" but makes no attempt to explain what that constitutes nor does he define why he uses "1". For example, in many physics equations, "1" is used as a limit, for example, the speed of light, thus denoting that any result of the equation will always be a fraction of "1" or a fraction of the speed of light.

  It is entirely speculation that I do not know what I am talking about. But that YOU do not know what I'm talking about is a fact.
  
  Consciousness IS no longer exclusive to humans, based on an OFFICIAL consensus of neuroscientists. That life has levels of consciousness, based on their awareness of the external world.
  That the issue now is qualia, the idea that there is a subjective experience of consciousness whether or not it is expressed in behavior.
  That books have been published about this new conception one of which I have cited as the THE 25 BIG IDEAS, page 9 by Robert Mathews published in 2005 where I quote, it says:
  "...asking whether an organism is conscious or not may be THE WRONG QUESTION. Rather, consciousness may be s question of degree."
  
  This is based on 2005 definition of a consciousness as " the ability to create a mental model of reality."
  
  Or DOUGLAS HOFSTADTER's I Am a Strange Loop, relating fractals to consciousness-a book by pulitzer prize winning author wi write Godel, Escher and Back. Nature journal (do you know this journal? you don't look it up) calls Delightful,,,pulls off some remarkable achievements.
  
  The fact is, consciousness is born out of a fractal brain. While the intelligent question would be to refute my claim (as many who Do know what its about) to be automatic iterations of nature requiring no guiding mind, you instead refute that which is already established, published, cited, applied etc.
  
  Let me answer that question. If fractals produces systems that produce varying levels of consciousness, then higher levels of consciousness can and most likely exist beyond our own.

  Really? Did you research that online while my lobby was being flooded by the east river?
  
  Godel's theorem is at the heart of Penrose's philosophy on consciousness which pretty much related to fractal geometry.
  
  http://www.academia.edu/245209/A_Fracta … Cosmology.
  
  I think you are grasping at straws, attacking sound sources that have condensed these Big Ideas for the layman. Mathews is not the source of these ideas, merely the one reporting them as the big ideas of today.
  
  My "obsession" with fractals does not change the fact that it is changing medicine, computer graphics, telecommunications and our understanding of nature. SO you can call me obsessed or vacuous or attack Mathews or ridicule Penrose. It still does not change the fact that the science is out there, shaping the way we understand nature.
  
  Theory in science has sound mathematical basis and are only requiring physical evidence. A scientific theory can be incomplete even if they math holds. The interpretation of the math may be wrong. But a scientific theory is considered accurate until proven otherwise because it is rooted on math.
  
  You don't have to agree you know, you believe that there is no god and everything is random. That's okay, beliefs are not rational and you can't help what you believe. But more and more, various fields of science are observing that nature is a product of iterations of an algorithm.
  
  While that implies a deterministic universe, Godel's incompleteness theorems (the first) implies that consciousness cannot be created (as in artificial intelligence) because something about consciousness is beyond mathematic access, since mathematics is a creation of the mind and therefore is limited by it. There will always be an element of the unknown.
  
  To quote Hofstadter's book:
  
  "(about how the brain works)...on a higher level of organization, there is some kind of "desire level suffrage in the brain...It's essentially "one desire, n votes", where n is some weight associated with the given desire. Not all values of n are identical, which is to say, not all desires are born equal; the brain is not an egalitarian society!"
  But in the same chapter, he clarifies,
  "Our will, quite the opposite of being free, is steady and stable, like an inner gyroscope, and the stability and constancy of our non-free will that makes me, me and you you..."
  
  Which is to say that the discussion is not whether one is the other but rather it is both, deterministic and quantum.
  
  Like if you observe the universe as random, you will see it. But if you observe it as repeating patterns, you will see it too.
  
  The reality outside of our consciousness is somewhere in the middle. And that is why belief cannot be argued because it is one's perception that determines the reality that consciousness will experience.
  
  But as for the proof of G-d. Fractal geometry exposes how everything repeats in varying scales, even the brain that generates our awareness of these questions.
  
  At some point, our beliefs are the only way we can elect the experience of reality, including whether there is a G-d or not.
  
  You can prove the existence or the non-existence of G-d either way using fractal geometry (but you do have to sincerely understand it first). But the fact that you can create your own reality implies that the higher scale of our consciousness can too.

The question now is if there is indeed a scale of consciousness that is higher than our own, is it aware of us? Does it interfere with our affairs, do we affect it? Can we pray to it and receive blessings? OR is it also us, in a higher plane of existence? These are all philosophical questions. We cannot know if it is the G-d that religion preaches about, or just a higher being that experiences a concept of Self in the same way we do, albeit in a larger scope?

IS there proof of a Higher Consciousness? Based on math, yes. It can be argued. But Is this the Judeo-Christian G-d, the Father, the Adonai? Then, the answer is we don't know.

Understanding the source of semitic belief might offer clues. Were they offshoots of a more advanced civilisation?Were they primitive people trying to make sense of the forces around them? All these, time will reveal. But there are evidences that point both ways.

Haa! dont say that again, if you dont know road to somewhere, you need to follow someone who knows to show you. Myself and my family are a living testimony a living and power God, the creator of heaven earth. Let me introduce Him to you
He Yes and Amen, The beggning and the End, The Word through which all things were made, there was absolutely nothing that was made without Him, including devil (he can also testify to this, though he is a lier and will want to deny God), Another mysterious name of His that He revealed to some people that cares about know Him is Jehovah Nissi (battle fighter, He has fought for me several times). Anyway time will not permit me to tell you more. But incase you are interest and you want to know Him, honestly I can guide you step by step to know Him. Let quickly tell you this, I have tasted Him He IS SO SWEET. You too can come and have a taste of Him. Oh taste and see that the Lord is good.

chaoticpsyche,
I have been reading all of the posts and comments and referring back to your original question several times. I love these types of conversations - they make you think, but also open your mind to other's ways of thinking.

You asked is there proof in God - I think I mentioned before that I struggled with this question also - but, then when looking at many of the comments we talk about belief and faith - so I am not sure if the question was really answered. I saw alot of scientific answers, but I still do not think the question was ever really answered.

All I can add is that God is in your heart and your life in more ways than one. His presence is different for everyone; just like the relationship with Him is different for everyone. What we choose to believe or have faith in goes beyond proof - I think alot of times we look for proof in things, and when we get the proof, that is it - we move on. But with God, we continue believing in Him day by day. Sometimes things happen which cause our faith to falter, but that is where we spend more time learning about Him, talking to Him, and understanding the word.

I had this conversation before "How can you really prove something if it has already happened? Can we prove God created the heavens and the earth. For instance, you have a car accident, yes you can take pictures, but when you go to court can you really prove the accident happened? I can show you the pictures, but if you weren't there to see it -how do you really know? I think that is where our faith in God comes in. Can I prove His existence?

I can argue with someone who doesn't believe in Him all day about why I believe in Him - but can I prove Him - All I can say is He keeps waking me up -so He isn't done with me yet - That is all the proof I need.

When a baby is born you know God exists.
When any creation is born you know God exists.
When you see a child smile, God exists.
When you have great parents, God exists.
When you have a family you know God exists.

When someone lends you a helping hand you know God exists,
When you make a person understand, God exists,
When you spread a smile, God exists,
When you lend a helping hand you know God exists,

I can go on - but to answer this

Even when the whole world comes crashing down and you are still standing strong you definitely and surely know there is a divine intervention.

If you truly believe and look within your heart - you will know the answer.

I truly believe.

  This infantile concept of "G-d" is really sad. Must the higher being that set all of creation in motion inflict anything? Nature has cycles and in those cycles life is a casualty. While it is tragic in our view, from the point of view of eternity, it is nothing but the churning and maintenance of the earth. Do individual lives matter, yes. But they do not cease to matter when life is taken. You still matter after you die, because you have lived. You had a name and a dream.
  
  Death comes just as life comes. It neither proves or disproves the existence of G-d. It only proves that life flows in the same cycles as sleeping and waking, conscious and unconscious, alive and dead.
  
  The Creator is NOT some kind of superhero. While it is a disaster to us, to the earth it is just a hiccup.
  
  The power of prayer comes from us. It gives us the ability to transcend our perceived limits. BUT that said, because we CAN transcend limits through mere intention shows the consciousness, our consciousness comes from a Divine source. One that can intend and manifest.

Imagine if the distance between Earth and the Sun is 150 million km and passed by the light in just 8 minute, then the whole Universe passed by the light in 30 billion years. That is equal to 285 billion trillion km away. If a man could run 40 km/hour without stopping, he would pass the distance in 810,000 trillion years!

That is the greatness of God’s creation! If we believe in the magnificence of God’s creation, then we should believe in the magnificence of God
People who think a lot about universe insha Allah will believe that there is a God!.

To those arrogant people who deny the existence of God, In Holy Quran Allah(God) questions them about His creatures. Who is the creator of sperm and plant? People or God the All Wise Creator?

“Have ye seen that which ye emit?

Do ye create it or are We the creator?” [Quran 56:58-59]

“Have ye seen that which ye cultivate?

Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer?” [Quran 56:63-64]

“Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow, or were We the grower?” [Quran 56:72]

  I think a lot about the universe and that thought has given rise to me knowing there is no God and the bible and other holy books were no written by God. Let's use your example of light. The bible tells us the universe is between 6 and 10 thousand years old, but we have light coming from stars that are millions of light years away. If the universe was only 6,000 years old that light would not be hear yet. All holy books are full of flaws that prove that they were written by people who had no more knowledge than anyone else at their time.

What big bang? that has never been pinned down. what where when how. no it hasn't. IN answer to many of these questions, where is God not? God answers it himself. he asks you these questions throughout HIS BOOK. Where is your book that is without question? God needs no proving. HE says in one place. "Worlds without end". before it all existed he said "I was". No, man has not comprehended it all, yet God is all in all. He asks which of you by taking thought can add even an inch to your stature? Yes, He is God. Yes he exists. Yes, he Lives. I have heard even that Charles Darwin said before he died that he had made a terrible mistake, that God DOES exist. You can look at a shoe on a shelf , and mostly know what it is for, and that it is a "shoe".. but until you put it on, my friend, You don't really know. And because you have two feet, you even know that you need two of them, one for each foot. But until you put them on you don't really and truly know that a shoe can protect your feet, keep you warm, etc. (if you had never had shoes.) We only need one God, for he said heaven is his throne and earth is his footstool. Read HIS book to find out about him.. not some pitiful attempt at philosophy.. I'm certain you can even find God in Quantum Physics and in Mathematics.. In the Heavens, outer space and under the ocean, and throughout time. God always existed.. He merely brought order to the Chaos of the earth.. Chaos exists without his presence. He is the ultimate and timeless designer of it all.. read HIS book. The Creator of the ends of the earth, and also the Savior of a lost world. No one else can ever save... He said Beside ME there IS NO savior.... He does not need to be proven.. except to you.. and He is there if you call on him in sincerity. ON the darkest Night he can answer.. in the farthest river or ocean or planet he can answer.. The proof is in all space, yet in the heart.. You can harden your heart, but you cannot cause him to not exist. MOJ
