Many people find it difficult to totally accept the reality of the existence of God. Either because of their inability to reconcile the existence of an all-powerful and all-loving God with the the presence of evil...to those such as these, how would you explain the existence of God....

No one can prove he exist neither can anyone prove he doesn't exist! If you want to accept him, embrace faith.... Its just a matter of choice!

Simple! Look at the Car, look at the Computer, look at the shoes, look at the pencile. Who made them "MAN". Ok Now look at the Sun, look at the Moon, look at the Stars, look at the Mountains, look at the Oceans, look at the Atmostphere, look at the UNIVERSE. Who made these things? MAN?, No!. Did they come out on there own or did they come out of "NOTHING"? NO! Then "SOMEONE" must have put them in place and that "PERSON" is GOD.

A book's a proof that there's an author.
Lyrics is a proof that there's a song writer.
A poem's a proof that there's a poet.
Creation's a proof that there's a Creator.Most times the invisible and the non-existent are so much alike but faith makes the difference.Make God your number one.

Here goes. My favourite proof is the Cosmological Argument.

* Anything the begins to exist has a cause

* The universe begins to exist

* Ergo a necessary, non-contingent cause called God.

I presented the argument very simply and would like to see the OP's rebuttals if there are any.

If God can come out of 'NOTHING', so can man,moon,earth e.t.c. But we all know Man created GODS.. Try check all religion and ethnic groups. Man loves Skydaddies

where you have millions of people testifying to an ocurrence then yiu have a proof of the existence of that case.
My proof that God exist is that :
It is written in the bible that God called moses and told him to take the Israelites away from the land of Egypt where they were slavrs. After many signs and plaques from God to show that He exisst, He then killed all the first burn of the Egyptians and finally God DIVIDED the red sea for the Israelites to escape and the Egyptians perished in the red sea.Egyptians are still living in Egypt till today likewise Isreal.Non of they has ever deny that the incident happened.

It is the creator of the sea that could only have given a command to the sea and the sea would obey for hundreds of thousands of people to pass before it creturns to its normal position.That person is the Almighty God.

LOL.. you make yourself look silly with such claims. Of course the people that wrote it will never deny it, that doesn't stop you from hearing the other side of this far fetched story. I doubt there is any court that refuses to listen to the other side.

Analyse this;

What is more likely?

The laws of nature get suspended, or a bunch of middle eastern ancient people added salt and pepper to a story?

He then killed all the first burn of the Egyptians

Is this not the most wicked, evil, barbaric and heartless act for the jewish god to kill innocent african children. How can you deem such an immoral monster as worthy of praise?
How would you feel if you were living in ancient egypt and he killed your child?

God didn't "COME OUT", He is "EVER PRESENT".

Having said all that, how can you reconcile the existence of an all powerfull and all loving God wit the existence of evil? If God is all loving, then He must want to eliminate evil. If He is all powerful then He must have the ability to eliminate evil. But evil exists! Therefore, either God is not all powerful or He is not all loving!

Lovethywilbedon: God didn't "COME OUT", He is "EVER PRESENT".

But you just said every thing had a creator. you said man created cars etc and God created the sun etc. But when it comes to God he is ever present. how come everything has a beginning except this God u mentioned? that Fallacy is called SPECIAL PLEADING. and makes the everything as a creator argument inconsistent!

Or he does not exist

mantraa:

Or he does not exist

period!

If the lizards and other animals think we created them, because we are more 'intelligent' than them... Then at least they see us...

Why would a God let us use a subjective tool such as 'faith' to perceive him, if he gave us something more objective 'reason and logic' that has helped man develop and understand his universe much better over the years?

You deserve an internet for this, provided you understand not to mix 'government', which entails ALL your dealings with other people, and religion

But following judeoxtian claims about god's omnixx.x, frankly, you can logically show such a being doesn't exist. Though xtians determined to mix government and politics, thereby trying to sell their nonsense as logical, have no problems redefining terms to make them seem logical. Wh.ores for jesus I believe they're called

here is my rebuttal;
in the first case, your use of begin to exist is highly misleading, because nobody knows when this beginning to exist happened, so every body is just speculating that there is a beginning; without proof.
Also your argument assumes we know "anything" or everything, meanwhile we have no idea of what makes up to 90% of the universe.

We have no proof that the universe begins to exist, all we know is that the universe exists.

If you posit that the universe requires a non contingent cause, you would be creating more problems than you can solve. First your non contingent cause would require another non contingent cause, - ad infinitum. Then why can the universe itself not be a non contingent cause. Because afterall everything in the universe can be denominated to energy, and that energy is constant but can express itself in various forms.

where are the millions testifying to which occurrence? All we have is millions of people believing in oral traditional stories written down by unknown authors.

There is no proof outside the bible that the God of the Israelites divided the red sea and drowned the whole Egyptian army, there is no record anywhere outside the bible that the Egyptians were afflicted with plaques, and there is no record anywhereelse that the Israelites were taken into slavery by the Egyptians. The Egyptians were very literate and very good at record keeping, especially concerning their pharoah. Such momentous events would certainly have been worth a mention in their achives.

And FYI, Egyptians do not accept the biblical stories concerning the exodus stories.

Invalid conclusion.

It ought to be *Hence it has a cause* not hence the cause is God.
