note:please give your answers with realistic proofs.

You must have taken a position on this before making this post. Whatever the position, the burden of proof is on you to sell your viewpoint. If you believe that God does not exist, which is what one may suspect from your post, you should state the reasons why you think so and then expect us to either support or refute your position with 'realistic proofs'.

Again, you may want to take another approach of bashing the arguments of those of us who believe in God and then expect us to defend ourselves.

Either way, you should bell the cat. Waiting.

Silly thread. No one can "realistically" prove or disprove the existence of God. We've gone through all this a 1000 times before, so this thread should die a quick death.

if it can't be proven that he exists then he dosen't exist

Nonsense thread. Seems the dude(thread author) is new here. The God issue have been discussed couple of times since i became a member of NL from 2006 to date, with the atheists,theists,deists&skeptics sticking with their respective opinions. @ op, its now left to u to tell us a new thing about the subject&also tell me where u stand as regards Gods existence/otherwise b4 i discuss with u. Im waiting.

Goodday nairalanders,i really applause everyone of you,for having contributed on the subject matter.the subject has been a controversial issue in the world at large and have affected us either positive or negative base on our beliefs,ideas and thoughts. Many thinks that God does not exist,while inreverse,many also diagree to it.most especially,this has been the major problem affecting Africans and Nigerians and not just corruption.Let take examples scientifically, from our societies,neighbourhoods,peer-groups,even our families both nuclear and extended.you will find out that many lack the knowledge of God and of his existence,unlike as it is here on nairaland.i posted the subject,in other to carry out a proven experiment,which in discovery,it's a proof to what am saying. my dear,there is a living God who is not known by all,whom i strongly believe in.He is the self existing God,who loves you to give you the best in life.see ref:jn 4:24;num 19:23;jer 29:11;23:23.

@poster, I have found out that God exists, but he does not wish anyone including the Devil to know his present whereabouts So take it from me, he could be popping out of a rice bowl in China someday

shoooo,
overflogged issue!

Let me give a simple illustration.

In Nigeria, there is a boy named Joe who is a student of UNILAG. 90% of the students of UNILAG drink wine. Relative to this information, it is highly probable that Joe drinks wine. However suppose Joe is a christian and 95% of the christians in UNILAG don't drink wine. Suddenly the probability of Joe's being a drinker of wine is dramatically reversed!

But the real question is whether God's existence is improbable relative to the total evidence available. I'm persuaded that when you consider the total evidence, God's existence is probable without a doubt

Yes he does,i am proff.

Poster, you must be a Mad man 4 posting this here, if God Does not Exist in your Life maybe Satan does!!!!

Certainly, this is a question that would amaze anyone who has ever designed a thing or planned an event.

Every man-made object we see around us or use, has a design.
If there is a design, certainly, there is a designer.

If you have ever used a car or entered into an airplane, ship or a new car you will certainly appreciate the elegance and importance of designs. There would never be a design if there never was a designer.

Now, if these things made by man amaze anyone for whatever reasons, wouldn't we agree that man himself must have been made (designed) by a designer?

Look at the similarity between the human brain and the computer, the human eyes and the camera and several other things around us. These are all enough proofs that somewhere out there, there is a supreme designer and indeed a creator who creates all things visible and otherwise, little or great earthly or heavenly.

If you still doubt the existence of God (the grand creator), answer this question: Did you design and create yourself?

yes God exist

God is in the "I" of the beholder . . .

@poster. . . Don't bother yourself asking this question coz most of the religious zombies here would rather kill you than take a step back to think about things. I have flogged this issue tireslessly with the likes of MAZAJE and TUDOR. The replies are usual the irrational-childish-off key-thread derailing posts you see here. I even went to another forum to open a very comprehensive inquiry to this same question. I am using my phone 2 type so i cant post links but you can google 'harakiri religion naijapals'. Type it out like that and search. Its all there. Cheers.

In between, the thread is now quite long and as expected, tons of kindergarten comments but it would be best to read from page one to grasp the whole thing. Cheers.

No one can help the fish in the ocean to find the water. . .

No one can (really) help you to find God . . .

Poster i Think you shud ask christians and muslim where was the foreign God when pastor bimbo odukoya was killed in a plane crash and where was this God when 500 thousand innocent pple got killed in haiti earth Quake.

Death does not NEGATE [/b]the existence of God, in fact it [b]AFFIRMS it. . .

On the street I saw a naked [/b]child, [b]hungry [/b]and [b]shivering [/b]in the cold.

I became [b]angry [/b]and said to God, "[b]Why [/b]do you permit this? [b]Why [/b]don't you do something?"

For a while God said [b]nothing.

That night he replied, quite suddenly, "I certainly did something. I made you."

@imhotep. . . I'm quite sure you believe you made a 'logical' argument. This is why i don't post regularly on nl anymore. The forum is being over run by retards! And i thought someone going by an eygptian deity id such as 'imhotep' would have more than enough basic ancient history to know better. Good grief! ! !

An elderly woman who was an enthusiastic gardener believed that all that was needed to control the weather was prayer.

Then one summer, while she was away on a foreign trip, a drought hit the land and wiped out her entire garden. She was so upset when she got back that she changed her religion.


(Morale: She should have changed her unfounded beliefs.)

God exists in your brain, God is dopamine.

You can neither prove nor disprove the existence of god or gods. But then, you can neither prove nor disprove the existence of the flying spaghetti monster, yet, no one in his right mind would say that that the flying spaghetti monster exists.
Seeking realistic proofs one way or the other is, frankly, dishonest.
A god who exists in the eye of the beholder is just that - a figment of the beholder's imagination. That is not evidence of the existence of god.
The evidence (scientific) so far points to the fact that there are no gods. Having said that, no atheist would ever say that there is no god. The best that can be said is that there is no evidence for the existence of god.
Contrary to posts on this forum from some ignorant theists, most atheists are rational people who believe in scientific methods. the day there is a compelling proof of the existence of god, most atheists would at the very list become deists. Of course, it is extremely unlikely that any such proof will ever be forthcoming.

These kind of statements are meaningless in the context of whether god exists. They do not move the argument forward. A god not revealed in the realm of logic has to be a very subjective being - meaning different things to different people depending on how they perceive him/her/it. Clearly does not help in determining whether god exists. There cannot be anything "beyond all knowledge". These are the type of meaningless phrases that are bandied around in these kinds of discussions. They are are meaningless to the point of dishonesty.
