    Why do atheist and other none believers  not accept as proof human existence
    Including them ?

    I ask this question because atheist are persistent with this line prove that God exist
    But as they are given proof they persist to say the same words,  example a husband and wife claims to love one another the wife or husband says prove it, when right from the very beginning the bound was written in comitting to a marital bond of sacrifice.The beginning of proof.
    The next maybe expressed in different expressions the interchange of caring for each other even monetary values
    I use this example because this planet is nothing more then proof of a higher source
    Who provides all human needs .

      RLwalker, example you get hired at a Job
      You agree to work for wages,  but you have faith you will get paid based on realities,
      There is a company, there is management,
      And there is representives, yet you may never see the owner of the company.

      Kiss, That's actually not proof there is a higher being, that was already going to happen. It was pre-written for the event to take place. The Secret does a great job explaining these things. The things you list have nothing to do, unless you prayed.

      JLAUREN  I use examples to explain.
      The point of using this example is to prove people have faith in connection with reality
      The reality is that there exist a company, and getting hired, not ever seeing the boss or owner a check they work in faith

    Maybe because they actually know what the word proof means. Human existence proves only that humans exist. Nothing more. To tie our existence to a "higher source" is a leap of faith for which you have no evidence. This distinction is obvious and clear.

    It really doesn't matter how often you try to claim belief is logic. It isn't and never will be.

  4. RLWalker LM profile image60
    RLWalker LMposted 8 years ago

    You're saying God is real because we humans exist.

    To take this as proof or even light evidence, you have to know the probability of us existing. Have we explored exhaustively even one other planet for life? For all we know life might be quite probable.

    But lets say we explore the whole universe, get tired and decide we're alone and calculate the likelihood of us existing in a universe like this to be near zero. Well, if there are an infinite number of multiverses, then anything no matter how improbable is unremarkable.

    But lets say there's only this one universe. We have to then conclude that anything that is, is subject to the law of cause and effect. That for anything to be, there must be a prior cause. Can we conclude that? Otherwise God would have to contend with the possibility that existence has no prior cause.

    But lets say we determine it has to have a cause. Ok so there comes the simple question, "who made God?".

    Lets say we decide that this cannot be asked, maybe on the grounds of blasphemy.

    That would be convenient but after all of those great leaps of assumption without proof, how can we honestly talk in any proper sense about the proof for God?

    Isn't Christianity all about faith? Faith as some people define it is the belief in something without proof. If you agree with this then why do you need proof in the first place?

      RLWalker LMposted 8 years agoin reply to this

      But the question isn't "why can't there be a God?". It's why must there be a god. Logic dictates that the burden of proof rests with the one making the claim. The claim is that God exists.

      RLWalker LMposted 8 years agoin reply to this

      There's really nothing difficult here. A lack of an explanation for something, does not prove something else. At best it makes it more likely. But proof is not the correct word.

      Look carefully at the contradiction between "faith" and "proof".

    OK, stick with me for a bit please.

    The universe exists, I am sure everyone will agree with this.  The problem is, how did the universe come to exist?  There are really only two possibilities.  A "caused cause" or an "un-caused cause."  Something cannot bring itself into existence because nothing cause it to exist. 

    Some say the universe has always existed, making it eternal.  An infinitely old universe is impossible.  If the universe has always existed, all usable energy would have been depleted. 

    The atheist position is, "there is no evidence for the existence of God."  Some, which are termed hard atheists, say, "there is absolutely no God." 

    Evidence is subjective.  In other words, it is the opinion of the one looking at the evidence.  Those who say there is no evidence for God to exist, are merely stating their opinion according to what they see.

    Those who state, "there is absolutely no God," commit a logical fallacy.  In order to make that statement, everything that exists would have to be examined.  We know that everything cannot be seen or examined by anyone. 

    Now we can get into the evidence for God.  What is the evidence?  The Bible tells us that the heavens declare the glory of God. Psalms 19:1 

    God exists outside of time and space.  He cannot be contained.  The universe itself is evidence of the existence of God.  Since the universe cannot create itself, it had to be created.  It needed a beginning. 

    All existence is in order, not just random happenings.  Before the universe began, there were no natural laws.  Stephen Hawking wrote, "because of the law of gravity, the universe had to create itself." (paraphrased)  It is a logical fallacy.  Something had to exist in order for something to be created.

    Some will ask, "Who created God?"  We get into the same problem with infinity.  If God was created, who created the one who created Him, etc. . .  God has always existed. 

    The Bible is one of the proofs for the existence of God.  Many will discount it because it disagrees with what they would rather believe.  Genesis 1:1, In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 

    Thank you for your time as I rambled on.  This is actually the first time I ever really addressed this subject in this manner.

    If humans are proof of God - which one? There are thousands of worshipped Gods in the world, so if God is proven through the existence of humans, is it Allah? Is it The God of Abraham? Is it Shiva? Is it the Goddess? Is it The Flying Spaghetti Monster? Is it Rangi the Sky Father, Papatuanuku the Earth Mother, Tane the God of Forests, and his brothers?

    So, if I was to take your 'proof of God is our existence' I need to know which God.

    If it is convienently the one you happen to believe in, and not the other 1000s, then you need to prove it was yr God and no Joe Smiths 'Allah' or Mary's Goddess.

    Yes the body and our existence is a wonderous thing, and I can see the beauty in contributing that wonder to a godly being - it's much easier to explain, to understand, than the process of evolution, the science behind the Big Bang, and doesn't need to change with time and further discoveries.

    But we have made discoveries that change the ideas and theories that we had regarding the beginning of time. Science moves with each discovery. The beauty with science is that we can comfortably say 'we aren't entirely sure, but we'll keep looking, and if we find something that changes things even with our theory, we'll add to it, change our theory and work with it' rather than the rather inflexible 'God did it'

    The other problem is that most religions represent their God as benevolent, all loving, all knowing, beings. Yet, many religious holy books portray their God as violent, hateful and wiling to overlook horrific crimes but stone others to death for the slightest slip up. If there was a God, why is their childhood cancer? Why are there abused children? Why are there still religious wars? Surely an all knowing God would have stopped it (and don't give me the 'free will' excuse - if he knew what would be done with it, he could have stopped it - so either he isn't all knowing or he is evil).

    So, which God did it? And can you proof it was yours over anyone else's? Therein lies part of the problem.

    I'm not a believer - I am aware that we don't know all of what occurred to produce earth, humans, animals etc - but the difference is that my lack of belief can allow me to consider everything as a possibility. It still doesn't make me point to a creator, nor if it did would it necessarily be yrs.

    Hope I made sense.

Some may ask “where does God fit in to the law of attraction?” when the appropriate question is “where does the law of attraction fit in with God?”
    The answers are simple yet profound. I began to understand that God is the supreme creator that abides by this same law. He has power over the law, yet lives in complete perfection of it, because it is a perfect law, designed perfectly to support us in our experience of learning through our agency here on this earth.
    God created the Universe. The Universe works by laws. The law of attraction or what can also be called the law of creation is in operation in every sphere of the Universe.
    We are residents of the planet earth that is housed in the Universe, which makes us subject to this perfect law.

      Norine it is written Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth.”,
      Since the cross is not the truth , it would violate this scripture.
      Which says (must!) to think less is not scriptual.

      Jlpark , Jesus himself says,
      Mt 4:10Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”
      He did not ever say worship me ! JESUS!

      I'm not arguing that point. I'm saying that there are these HUGE Differences between yr Denomination and Nors's yet u both claim to be Christian. And then claim the other is not or is wrong in their beliefs. Yet both wish to bring others to God.

      Jlpark using the comments between me and Norine is a scapegoat for you, the problem is we did not write one thought in the bible it was already hear before our birth.
      So Complaint Is not  valid with us , it is the Heavenly Father.

      Jacq: TRUTH!  Read Heb 6:1-3 "We (Believers) MUST be "ON ONE ACCORD" meaning "PROVE" fm WORD doctrine is right!  When told, it is the resp of 1 to "SEARCH" (Acts 17:11) "to see if these thgs are so" & if can't "PROVE," only blowing HOT AIR!

    Sorry to rain on everyone's parade, but we are overrating our intellectual abilities, because we are not equipped to make mental constructs out of linear conceptualizing. To use some lateral thinking here, both theists and atheists are wrong, as we are merely in a position of an intelligent dolphin "reasoning about the "dry world". Every epoch has been known for a sort of intellectual arrogance  of  - "having THE answers"  -   simply because we are also insecure species who NEED a comfort of certainty, so we create concepts that satisfy that need.
    Our brains are not programmed to grasp a reality out of time and space. Try understanding quantum physics, where an electron can be at two or more places at the same time. This is just a little example of the fact that we simply can't squeeze something so incredibly complicated into our limited paradigm box. To use a simple comparison, we are trying to measure distances with a weight scale.
    However, your dilemma over the existence of God is a cute intellectual adventure, and there is nothing wrong with that, as long as you are just PROPOSING something, not "stating it for a fact". Those who wrote holy books were those same "learned" folks who thought that our planet was flat, and while their divine visions might have satisfied their level of "understanding"  -  we may want to explore some more. Maybe even give up this need for instant answers, and give a chance to future generations to come closer to the Ultimate Truth. A disclaimer: I don't call myself either a believer or an atheist. Please, don't call me any other names, I am just being intellectually humble.

      Please provide another book written BEFORE Bible with as many "ACCURATE" prophecies! If not, GOD continues to speak thru men and HE DOES EXIST!

      Only a STRONG Atheist should be put into the same category as believers. I hold the position that: " I don't know" but see no reason to believe in absolute absurdities.  Agnostic Atheist

      "absolute absurdities?"

      AGAIN, Holy Spirit asks "Provide a book w/as many ACCURATE "fulfilled" prophecies written BEFORE Bible?"

      Until then, "PROVE" there's NOT A  GOD!

    The best "proof" for the existence of God is the human brain. Nothing else in the universe can compare to the power of 3.5 pound of organ tissue. The power of our thoughts are infinite. The miracle of self awareness. That is why I believe the current advances in AI is doomed to fail. In order for them to create a comparable "thinking brain", it would require "God" and we are not God but God's creation. Does that make sense?
