Does God exist?

[Droobie]

A recent book: "The Probability of God: A Simple Calculation That Proves the Ultimate Truth." by physicist Steven Unwin found through calculations that the mathematical probability that God exists is about 66.7%. There are those that have 100% for or against the existance of God. The difference being 'faith'. What are your thoughts?

[PaladinValer]

Plato's "Republic" and all the other classical (Pagan!) philosophies show that there is SOMETHING that is the Source. As a Christian, I believe it to be the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

[Aluther22]

Do we really need a book to tell us that God exist. Look around, it obvious that there is a God. If you believe that there is a Julieus Ceasar, then you must believe that there is a Christ. There is more evidense that Jesus Christ existed died and was raised again then there is about Ceasar even being alive. Read "Darwin on Trial," great book to disprove the theory of evolution.
Peace in Christ,
ALuther22

100% - Definitely

[Meow]

talking about probabilities very low in terms of logic and science. from a faith stand point 100%

[MediocrityInAction]

Currently, 0% chance. God does not exist in my worldview.

[PaladinValer]

talking about probabilities very low in terms of logic...

Plato and Co. did an excellent job of proving without faith that there was One Source. Have you ever read Plato's Republic or any other classical "Pagan philosophy from the "Three Great Philosophers" (Socrates and Aristotle being the other two)? Don't discount "logic" and "reason" simply because you may think it is at odds with faith...that simply just is not so.

[brotherChristian]

Paladin is absolutely right (except that Socrates didn't actually write anything himself, see Plato's Last Days of Socrates). But not only do most of the great logicians believe in God (as they understand the concept), but most great scientists as well. Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein come to mind as prime examples. Honest seekers of truth and enlightenment are not out to disprove the existence of God. Science and philosophy come closer to proving the existence of God in their own terms all the time. God gives us proof of His existence for our senses at every turn, but He requires one thing more: faith.

[einstein314emc2]

But not only do most of the great logicians believe in God (as they understand the concept), but most great scientists as well. Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein come to mind as prime examples.
I would like to point out that Hawking is more agnostic than anything.

Now, lest anyone be confused, let me state that Hawking strenuously denies charges that he is an atheist. When he is accused of that he really gets angry and says that such assertions are not true at all. He is an agnostic or deist or something more along those lines. He's certainly not an atheist and not even very sympathetic to atheism.
Although his position on god is not too clear, certainly doesn't believe in the normal Christian God, or a least one that created us.
1. Stephen Hawking has recently argued that there is 'no place for a creator', that God does not exist. In his quantum cosmology

there would be no singularities at which the laws of science broke down and no edge of space-time at which one would have to appeal to God or some new law to set the boundary conditions for space-time . . . The universe would be completely self-contained and not affected by anything outside itself. It would neither be created nor destroyed. It would just BE . . . What place, then, for a creator?
Einstein also did not believe in a personal god.
It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.
As far I as can tell, he did belieave in a god of some sort, just not one that created everything, or answered your prayers, etc.

Another interesting thing I found.
He is an excerpt the full text can be found at: http://kspark.kaist.ac.kr/Jesus/Intelligence%20&%20religion.htm

"Whereas 90% of the general population has a distinct belief in a personal god and a life after death, only 40% of scientists on the B.S. level favor this belief in religion and merely 10 % of those who are considered 'eminent' scientists believe in a personal god or in an afterlife."

[AgnosticFreeThinker]

How does this thread make any sense? Hypothetically, every person who is registered under a religion would answer 100%, every person registered as atheist would answer 0%, and the agnosts would fill in the middle. Myself, I am agnostic to this ;) I do not believe that I know enough to even think about the possibility of knowing the probability, so I won't poll. Is it 50%? No, it is either 100% or 0%, it either is or it isn't, no probability about it, but I don't know which.

My thoughts? He exists 100% - that's my thought and my reality.......;)

[alfcantor]

Of course God exists.... here is an analogy that i heard earlier today:

Do you see that building (look out your window... humor me for a bit)?
Does that building have a builder?

Now, do you see that builder? Have you met that builder face to face? Now... just because you cant see that builder doesnt mean there isnt one. That building did not just fall from the sky after 2 astertiods collided. Also, that building did not evolve over time, starting out as just bricks and then growing themselves into more bricks and adapting to its enviorment to eventually become a building. It had to have a builder. And in the same sense, so do we.

Of course God exists. Ill give you the title of the video i got that from as soon as i remember (if anyone else knows, help me out here).

[oldrooster]

I really do not need some pocket protector wearing clown to convince me of God's existance. I found that out long ago.

[mle]

yes, God exists

I sure didn't mean to offend anyone, sorry. :sorry:

When I said they believe in God, I wasn't implying they have the same God-view I do. But I'm a big Hawking fan and I have always felt he believes in a higher power. Einstein as well. When I say God I am refering to anyone's notion of a higher power, be it the positive and negative energies that hold everything together, superstrings or whatever could have spawned the universe from a singularity. Science is a religion, (I'm gonna get burned for that one :sigh: ) and it has barely developed the ability to define itself. Those "eminent" scientists who claim to be athiests (as in: not even agnostic)? That seems pretty narrow-minded for someone who is supposed to evaluate empirical data and come to an unbiased conclusion.

But then again, I'm a high school drop-out and an Army grunt; so what do I know? :scratch: Oh, yea; and we're totally off-topic here.

There is quite a distinction between believing in a personal God, or a creator god, and believing in a "higher spirit" god of some sort. For instance not believing in prayer, souls, etc. Science itself is not religious, although people can make it be.
Why do I not believe in a god? First off there is no evidence for one. Another thing, god pretty much has taken the place in areas people didn't understand. In ancient times, this was pretty much everything. As the knowledge of our universe has increased, the places where god can act are limited.
Also, I understand the origins of religion. This quote helps illustrate it.
"I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in ours (Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike, founded upon fables and mythologies."

Thomas Jefferson

http://www.realitymatters.com/origin.html

There is more to my atheism than what I have written, but this is an example. Plus, who's to say that our "God" isn't another advanced civilization. This I my opinion is much more likely than a "real" god.

Another thing: I found something else about Hawking's and other's God

In his best-selling book "A Brief History of Time", physicist Stephen Hawking claimed that when physicists find the theory he and his colleagues are looking for - a so-called "theory of everything" - then they will have seen into "the mind of God". Hawking is by no means the only scientist who has associated God with the laws of physics. Nobel laureate Leon Lederman, for example, has made a link between God and a subatomic particle known as the Higgs boson. Lederman has suggested that when physicists find this particle in their accelerators it will be like looking into the face of God. But what kind of God are these physicists talking about?


Theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg suggests that in fact this is not much of a God at all. Weinberg notes that traditionally the word "God" has meant "an interested personality". But that is not what Hawking and Lederman mean. Their "god", he says, is really just "an abstract principle of order and harmony", a set of mathematical equations. Weinberg questions then why they use the word "god" at all. He makes the rather profound point that "if language is to be of any use to us, then we ought to try and preserve the meaning of words, and 'god' historically has not meant the laws of nature." The question of just what is "God" has taxed theologians for thousands of years; what Weinberg reminds us is to be wary of glib definitions.

[Niko]

God must exist. I choose to believe. Why? Because I am curious in nature and I often question creation, life, death and so on. I try to ponder about how existence came into existence. Know what happens. My head starts hurting ^_^ (Im not stupid, try reading all my other posts ;) ).

I have a question for Athiests. Why do you not believe in a higher being? I respect everyone's religion, but I could never fully understand this.

Yours in Christ,
Nick

[einstein314emc2]

I have a question for Athiests. Why do you not believe in a higher being? I respect everyone's religion, but I could never fully understand this.
See my post above ^ ^
Also, I have a question. What makes your god any more real than any other god? A lot of gods are fundamently different from yours or other gods.

[Trench777]

See my post above ^ ^

Yhwh acknowledges the existance of other gods and tells us not to worship them. No "more or less" real involved, they exist according to Him (and He oughta know)

My God can beat up thier gods, but thats beside the point! :D

Trench77 just referred to his God by name. I'm sure lightning did not just strike him down, either. This unpronounceable name and its potential physical power is a defining characteristic of our God-image (Jews, Christians, LDS, etc.). Much in the same way, many others seeking the answer to life the universe and everything (maybe 42?) assign user-friendly characteristics to aspects of their God-image which they cannot pronounce (read: understand). How many theories are only possible to prove when an abstract variable is used? Where does it come from? Is it physically tangible?
I'm not a smart man (Hello, high school drop-out here), so I don't know for sure, but it seems like our main diagreement here is over the word 'god'. We can debate over the origins of the word ad nauseum, but that doesn't change the fact that its meaning has grown to encompass all notions of a higher power. I know what I'm talking about; my generation, largely devoid of a foundation of spiritual beliefs, contibuted greatly to this new interpretation of the word 'god'.
So have a couple more blessings and mull it over. Or better yet, have a little faith. (Maybe about the size of a mustard seed?)

[merryheart]

For anyone who has ever felt the arms of God comfort them when they are broken, heal them when they are sick, who has related to Him as a Father and as a Friend, there can be NO question at all. Prove it by science - no, sorry, but by the weight of our witness (those things we have personally experienced) an impartial jury would choose in our favor. God is very real to me because I have experienced him deeply. I have at times heard His voice, and I have followed His commands, and reaped the reward for doing so. For me, He has taken a broken, worthless existance and turned it into a life that is joyful and meaningful. I have experienced Him and I am a witness to His existance and to His love for us.

[Soulikz]

i SAY 100%


I guess ima read Darwin On trial now - and show it to my nonchristian family :p

[Glacial]

*Looks at religion icon*

Hmm - no. :P

[Kathy]

Of course God is alive,say...100% plus..

[Samueel]

Look around!! You think everything came to life all by itself?!? You think an explosion created something as complex as a human being?!?!?

Man, if the evolution theory were correct (which it isn't), we'd have palaces and mega computers built out of old, scrap metal every time a tornado touched down! That theory of evolution is so idiotic!!!

OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A GOD (the God of the Bible) AND HE IS, AND WAS, AND WILL BE...FOR FOREVER!! HE IS ETERNAL!!

Samuel

[kat00_ca]

I say 100%.

Like many here, I believe that God exists. After all, how else would have life started? Sometimes I believe that God just created life and we have evolved from there. There are evidence of evolutions of everything. God just merely guided us during these evolutions.

Am I making any sense here?

[PaladinValer]

Yes you are.

[rudy3107]

If u beleive YES, if not NO.


:yum:

[GinooKo]

The question is: "Why are we here?"

[TerabyTe]

100%, definitely. I am COMPLETELY faithful that God exists. These kind of things, you don't have to see to know. You just know.

[jeshohaia]

If you witness miracles first hand and in your own life. You never doubt the One true Messiah! But I pray that no one has to go through what it took for me to realize my folly. The world may say that G-D doesnt exsist. But if they are right. Then I dont exsist either. I should be dead. Why am I here? I do not know, maybe G-D's mercy?

[Roman Soldier]

It seems as though only Christians are active in this forum.

Well it IS a Christian forum;)

[lucaspa]

A recent book: "The Probability of God: A Simple Calculation That Proves the Ultimate Truth." by physicist Steven Unwin found through calculations that the mathematical probability that God exists is about 66.7%. There are those that have 100% for or against the existance of God. The difference being 'faith'. What are your thoughts?1. The calculations are Garbage In, Garbage Out. They are based on what is called Bayesian statistics. The problem with Bayesian statistics is that some of the input is simply made up. The medical profession likes Bayesian statistics because it supposedly helps them sort thru conflicting studies on whether drugs or treatments work and come up with some number that a drug -- aspirin say -- will help a patient's headache. But the basis is very shaky.

2. Apologetics are futile. Belief in God comes from personal experience, not nature and nothing that is seeable by everyone under approximately the same circumstances. If you have personal experience that you are convinced is from God, then you believe and no one is going to be able to tell you differently. If, OTOH, all you experience is no-experience of God, then you are going to believe God does not exist and nothing a Christian tells you is going to be able to change your mind. In between are people without personal experience but willing to trust the personal experience of others (including what is written in sacred books) and those who lack experience but recognize there could be several reasons they lack that experience and are agnostic.

[lucaspa]

i SAY 100%


I guess ima read Darwin On trial now - and show it to my nonchristian family :pPlease don't. It will only hurt. Instead, show them Finding Darwin's God and Can a Darwinian be a Christian? (the answer is "yes")

[kermit the toad]

Of course God exists. Ok, sure, there is no "scientific" proof of it. If you are going to try and determine God's existance based solely on science then yeah, you're going to get a result that is less than 100%. Faith is a necessary ingredient for the true believer. From that point of view, I can say that it is possible that I could be completely wrong, but I don't believe that I am. I believe 100% that their is a God.

[lucaspa]

I say 100%.

Am I making any sense here?Yes, basically you have Darwin's view.
"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved." C. Darwin, On the Origin of Species, pg 450.

Evolution is the secondary cause God used to create the diversity of life on the planet.

However, that first question is very much god-of-the-gaps. Which is what Samuels is doing. That's not good theology. God made a complete universe, so you should not be looking for gaps between members of the universe. Yes, life can come from non-life thru a non-miraculous process -- chemistry. http://www.theharbinger.org/articles/rel_sci/fox.html Does that mean God is absent? Not at all. The idea is that God sustains the universe. No process in the universe happens unless God wills it. What science finds is the process that God wills and thus there are no gaps.

[lucaspa]

From that point of view, I can say that it is possible that I could be completely wrong, but I don't believe that I am. I believe 100% that their is a God.The question, kermit, is why there is no scientific "proof"? Is it because no such proof exists? Or is it because science is incapable of directly testing for God? It's the second. It's called Methodological Materialism.

Based on the evidence you have -- your personal experience -- your conclusion is perfectly reasonable. However, for someone that has different experience, their conclusion that they believe God does not exist is also reasonable. Different evidence, different conclusions.

[kermit the toad]

Fair enough lucaspa. I can totally understand why other people would not believe in God. I've felt that way myself at times. As for why there is no scientific proof? I do agree that it is the second reason. That is what I meant, even though I didn't really give that impression in my original post.

[LaurelTree]

100% I definately agree, besides if god doesn't exist how did I get here lol lol ;)

[GuiltyCubicle]

I think it's inevitable that God does exist.

[sweetlambofgod]

Who created the world if God didn't exist? HE does 100%!

[lucaspa]

Who created the world if God didn't exist? HE does 100%!:sigh: This "proof" of the existence of God, called the Kalam argument or the Ontological Argument, has problems because there are alternative hypotheses to God for how the universe got here: http://christianforums.com/t43923 (http://christianforums.com/t43923)

Let me emphasize: this does NOT say God does not exist. It ONLY says that this particular "proof" is no longer a proof.

What we have is a classic case of multiple competing hypotheses and no way to determine which hypothesis is correct. That's a lot of fancy language :) , so let me try to simplify with an everyday example. Say you go out for the evening and come home, open your door, hit the switch, and the light doesn't come on. You have several hypotheses for why the light isn't working:
1. The bulb is burned out.
2. The switch broke.
3. The circuit breaker popped.
4. The neighborhood has lost power.

Now, you go thru tests to find out which of these hypotheses is right. The 4 hypotheses are the "multiple competing hypotheses". In this case, you are going to be able to figure out which is right. In terms of the hypotheses for how the universe/world got here, we can't. So all of them are on the table. Unless we can eliminate all the hypotheses except "God created", you can't use the existence of the universe as proof that God exists. Sorry.

[lucaspa]

100% I definately agree, besides if god doesn't exist how did I get here lol lol This is the same problem as SweetLambofGod and the god-of-the-gaps posed by some other posters. Science has shown a complete set of material processes that go from no universe to you. Now, the question is: do those material processes work on their own or do they require God to work? We don't know. Atheists believe the processes work on their own. If they do, then you don't need God to exist in order for you to get here.

Christians believe that the processes depend on the will of God. If that is the case, then yes, you require God for your existence.

However, since science can't tell if the processes work on their own, this proof of the existence of God doesn't work as proof. Again, sorry.

[serena]

I beleive 100% that God exists, but I do also believe in some form of evolutionary process. I tend to have similar veiws to kat00_ca on this.

[JesusFollowerTtE]

Really how could you not beleive 100%. I mean come on we have thousands of Bibles found from thousands of years ago. The Christian based relegion is the most popualar. Plus when you first except Christ into your life in changes drematicly. If God didnt excist then what is the point of humans. I have only been a christian for about 6 months but before then I was a pretty bad kid but I still know that their was a God. I guess this is my opinion but there are alot of facts to back me up.

[TheTempleTeam]

100% I believe it to be completly improbable that God does not exist.

[beatarmy2]

God definately exists. I know this may seem blunt, but that's what this whole site is based on. God is good.

[orange_dragonfire4]

God totally exists. THose that don't belive are merly confused. They just don't understand what it is to be born again.

John 3: 8-11- "'The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes; so it is with every one who is born of the Spirit.' Nicode'mus said to him, 'How can this be?' Jesus answered him, 'Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand this? Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony."'

[kerux]

All we have to do to prove God exists is look at the variety of everything, whether it is people, animal, plants, flower, etc.

[schwarzes_schaf]

100% definitely
:bow:

[Azimuth]

Christian based relegion is the most popualar.
Deciding whether something is true or not based on how many people believe in it is a logical fallacy.

All we have to do to prove God exists is look at the variety of everything, whether it is people, animal, plants, flower, etc.
How exactly does this prove God's existence? The fact that everything is different has no relevance to the question of the existence of an omnipotent being.

[kerux]

The way that it proves God's existence is the fact that there has to be a ultimate creator that created such variety. There are several things in science that can even prove that God exists and everything has thought behind it. Such as, if the Earth was tilted slightly one way or the other, we would either burn up or freeze to death. If the oxygen to carbon particles in the air were changed slightly, the air would not be breathable. Let's look at the animals, how many different kinds of birds are there? Each one has its own certain characteristics that a different kind does not have.

[vrunca]

I know God is real and active in my life! Just look at the sunrise or the rain or the snow or your hands or your eyes or a puppy or a flower or a baby or your best friend or the stars or the moon or an ocean or a whale or a giraffe or chocolate chip cookies or grandmas and grandpas or diet pepsi or hearing aids or flush toilets or a little league game or storms or kittens or hugs and kisses or little brothers and sisters...I could go on all day! Just open your eyes and look around, nobody else could do all of this, I know I couldn't and if you take time to look at all of the blessings around you, you will soon realize that you can't do all of this either. No one can, but some one who loves us so much that He would give us His only Son to die for us! And I choose to call him Father! Feel the love!!:hug:


God Bless!

[Unique]

100%, where did this Earth come from otherwise?

[Aduro Amnis]

I voted Probably - but I'm closer to 80% than 66.7%.

[Molly7]

This is kind of a strange poll. I don't really understand how you can come up with the probability of God existing without bringing religion into it. I know that religion, Christianity especially, is based largely on historical facts, but I don't understand where the probability comes in. Or how people vote maybe, unless perhaps they are agnostic. I voted 100% because that's what I believe. That's what Christianity is.

Does God exist? YES! :) :clap:

[bgoddenia]

Bless You Guys, :wave: I know God exists for We have a special relationship one as though hearing His voice, feeling His hands molding my body and mind, holding me when I cry and he not only holds me but He tells Me everythings gonna be alright.

When the enemy plotting something against me and my familiy he warns me telling me becareful satan is coming up against you. He help me to keep aware with his warnings.
In other word I had an encounter with Him! And more and more as time go's by I get closer to Him for I know He's real and exist He showed Me things that no One have seen. And He will continue to show Me more!
I'm honoured and Blessed!!

Yours in Him, Betsy:pink:

Praise God Gotta give Him alittle Praise for He's worthy

[caitlincares]

The Bible says God exist therefore he does. Very simple.:clap:

[againstthegrain]

OK, here's my opinion on the matter. First of all, it has to be established that there is absolute truth, which there is because the phrase "It is absolutely true there is no absolute truth" is self-contadictory. Second, if there is absoloute truth, there is right and wrong. Third, if there is right and wrong, or "morals truths," there has to be moral law. It all comes down to this: in order for there to be a moral law, there has to be an ABSOLUTELY perfect moral lawgiver. Therefore, God must exist, 100% for sure.

[victoriamarie]

Well - YEAH

[cat has felt the light!]

100% definitely, definitely!and praise him! wOOt! (hey Fineous)why isn't there any scientific evidence that proves certainly one way or another?, well I believe it is because otherwise we would not have chosen to come to the Lord in faith and Truth but simply because we would have no free will, our Lord wants us to choose his way and no other...I love this about our Lord! Amen :prayer:
C@ xxp:s: even if there was proof, a true atheist would still believe that there was certainly no God and if there was scientific evidence to disprove God I would still definitely profess that he be real, because I can feel him in my heart!

[Krystina661]

God has to exist.. because of our existence.. God exists. Something is eternal and that is God. Nothing does and cannot create anything.. so for all eternity something.. someone who has to be intelligent for it to also create such a universe with precise order exists. You cannot have something come into existence out of nothing. If anyone believes that.. they don't understand the meaning of nothing. Nothing creates nothing.. and since there is no such thing as nothing.. only everything.. God exists.

[mibashful]

jesus does exist who do you think created the heavens and the earth:wave:

[rubberduckie]

well said mibashful :) I seem to be following you (lol) but that's cool, cause you have lots of good stuff to say :) Krystina661, also, good stuff :) Yes God exists, read Romans 1:20, even creation points to the fact that there is a creator, a supreme being, someone who knows far more than us proud pompous humans could hope to know or even imagine. God is amazing.

[alfcantor]

I found this analogy from a video on evolution that i watched by a guy named Ray Comfort from Ray Comfort ministries. Random fact: another preacher from Ray Comfort ministries is Kurt Cameron.

[QUOTE]Of course God exists.... here is an analogy that i heard earlier today:

Do you see that building (look out your window... humor me for a bit)?
Does that building have a builder?

Now, do you see that builder? Have you met that builder face to face? Now... just because you cant see that builder doesnt mean there isnt one. That building did not just fall from the sky after 2 astertiods collided. Also, that building did not evolve over time, starting out as just bricks and then growing themselves into more bricks and adapting to its enviorment to eventually become a building. It had to have a builder. And in the same sense, so do we.

Of course God exists. Ill give you the title of the video i got that from as soon as i remember (if anyone else knows, help me out here).

[Mimi]

I believe God exsists.........but I could be so wrong.....so I voted 50%. The feeling that He exsists gives me a lot of comfort. I love to go to church and to read the bible, praying. It helps me a lot and my heart fills with joy. But maybe God is something in me that makes me stronger....just some biological thingy. Whatever you believe.....it is the peace in your heart and soul that counts!

[violetstar]

:wave: Strange thing everywhere, to not believe GOD exist would mean you would have to find positive proof of how everything exist. I know the scientist will never find it so I choose too believe in GOD , it is the only thing that make sense.

[weezyjenn]

I know him!!!

[Grace_of_God]

I really don't see how people can look at the beauty and complexity of the Earth, and the entire universe and NOT believe in God. We aren't here just by accident!! :)

God bless,

[rua2j33]

I cannot see air or gravity but I know that it's there. Yes God exists.

[TheMainException]

God is not mathematical...he is totally God, that is what it is. God is God and there is no stopping him if he wants to do something. But he is merciful and prayer does work.

[PaladinGirl]

I say 66.7% probability. I do believe in God but that doesn't necessarily mean that he definitely exists.

[jehovahway]

Well Praise God for another day.there is two
things that control your life right now.It is
Satans angels, The holy bible does not lie
when it says before you come to God and
get saved your Father is satan.
because he can control your thinking and your mouth.
it his job to get you to hell and he knows how to run that program.
there is one truth and Gods Holy Spirit delivers it i have been a christian for 30 years
i have number 7 of the nine gifts of the Spirit I can see Satans Angels on people
and i can see Gods angels also.the closer
you draw to God the closer he will come
to you.
there are a few things Jesus says about
Satan ,hes a lyer,thief,murder,deceiver,destroyer,and he wonts us in hell with him this is a ever burning fire, it does not go out King Jesus Christ say He is the one that will send people there ,Jesus Christ Angels Will throw Satans angels into the ever burning
fires of hell,and anyone else that listens to them.
may the God that hung on a cross and died
for you lead you into all truth in Jesus Holy name.

[Moros]

this should be a yes or no poll, i vote yes.

[Kathryn13]

Of course God exisits!

[indeep]

Definitely, no question in my mind.

[joku]

The Bible says:

"The Godless fool says in their heart 'Their is no God' "

[ps139]

If God did not exist then nothing would exist. Where did everything come from? What is the uncaused cause? How does something come from nothing? These questions cannot be answered unless a Being Who transcends the laws of time and space exists.

[Niamh]

I voted 100%

[SaintGeorge]

Of course He exists! 100%!!!

[going_crazy_am_i_me2]

i think God definitly exsists!

[~Wisdom Seeker~]

A recent book: "The Probability of God: A Simple Calculation That Proves the Ultimate Truth." by physicist Steven Unwin found through calculations that the mathematical probability that God exists is about 66.7%. There are those that have 100% for or against the existance of God. The difference being 'faith'. What are your thoughts?I'm sure according to some people the probability that man exists is probably about the same. :D

Does anyone other than myself find the question of mathematical probablility with regard to whether or not God exists a bit ironic? The universe is based on mathematical principles. Think about it.

[Christopher Fox]

I am pleased the 86% believe the God does exist. This would be a strange Christian Forum if they didn't!

[UberLutheran]

...but I've seen no evidence yet for me NOT to believe in God!

I'm one of those people who would throw fire on a burning bush; and I think tornado chasing is GREAT fun so that dispels what I'd do with a whirlwind -- unless it started talking to me, and then I'd have my doctor check my blood sugar levels -- but I see God working ALL THE TIME through the things that happen which seem to be just more than "coincidental", through the things people say and do, and by how it never fails that good seems to come out of even the worst situations!

I've even stopped praying for specific "things" -- all I really need to know is God's will for me, and to ask for the power to carry that out.

[Jette]

6.5% (as of now) say 0% why are you on a Christian forum???!!

[DevoutHeiress]

100% :)

[Norseman]

6.5% (as of now) say 0% why are you on a Christian forum???!!

It's kind of hard to argue with those who agree with me. I'd like to practice my debating ability, and more importantly be assured that my position is not logically unsound. Would you go to a christian forum to argue for the existence of god?

[Sopharos]

Voted 33.3%, but my real feeling about this matter is lower. More like 5%. I have figured out that, however, I will never be in a situation where it's 0%.

[Rich48]

Voted 33.3%, but my real feeling about this matter is lower. More like 5%. I have figured out that, however, I will never be in a situation where it's 0%.
I always find it amazing that anyone can look at what God has created, and think that it just "happened." As an example, try this website:

http://www.acwitness.org/hawaii.html

And this just happened? Now that, in my opinion, is a 0%.

[Bladecarver]

Unless you've actually spoken with God, the only way for you to believe in Him is through faith. I believe 100% in God. If He wasn't real, I wouldn't be alive.

I suppose God also created the tongue-eating isopod, the barnacle that castrates and zombify a Green River Crab, and the cicada killer wasps that knows paralysing a cicada instead of killing them would guarantee decomposition-free flesh for its larvae.

God has such a wonderful sense of humor.

[zoe_uu]

I believe there is a creator, or higher power and purpose to all, however I do not believe that which we call "God" is a deity that must be worshipped.

[QT_pie]

Ofcource God existes. i know it because he answers my prayers!

[Kestrel25]

I believe that God exists. Occassionally i have doubts and problems, but thats natural right? :)

[Mr. Lunt]

:bow: God definately exists - 100%

Like it would make Him exist any less if this poll never happened. :D

I think someone would have a much harder time proving they exist. :D

[Faith In God]

probability?

a famous statistician once said that he could prove the existance of God with statistics, enough 'probability' "to bury Darwin and his theory"

[tweek821]

100% Definitely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No Doubt About It!
Read "Case for a Creator" if you're in doubt!

[angelnstix]

YES YES YES He exists!!!!!

[crossrunner]

100% positive my Creator, Lord and God not only exists but He is a very real presence and help in my life.
Praise the LORD!!!!:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

[Cin]

God exists and I see the proof in my life every day. All I have to do is look around me. I see it in my just being alive and in the lives of members of my family that triumphed over sickness and the grave. God is so good!! :bow:

[The Mystic]

Yes, I absolutely believe that God my Creator who is always with me exists. But maybe some of you or a lot of you unspokenly don't believe that God exists or atleast sometimes doubt his existence. Well, I've been there. I've grown up as a Christian, knowing there is a God. But sometimes I feel like God isn't really there. If He was then He would answer my prayers and why wouldn't He just show Himself to me. I started to believe these things and I finally just said fine...I give up, I'm done. A couple steps later I was back believing in God because my whole being just knew that He exists and that it is ridiculous to go against it. Well maybe some of you want prove, or evidence. Well, lets look at prophecy. In the old testament prophecies were made about the Savior of the world. Little things too, like He would be born here and soldiers would cast lots for His clothes at the crucifiction, and that He would be crucified, and just to let you know, crucifiction didn't even exist when David prophesied about it. Anyways the chances of 16 of those prophecies being fulfilled were calculated and underestamated at this. Take the entire state of Texas and fill it with silver dollar coins two feet deep. Then take one of them, scratch an x on it and stir it in with all of them. Then blind folding a man and sending him out to randomly pick up a coin and that being the coin with the x on it. There is evidence. And that's only sixteen of the hundreds that were fulfilled.

[DeltaJ]

absolutly

[Bashing AvoHej]

wow, mildly coherent.:clap: congratulations.

well hmm, how about you take a peek at this little tid-bit i've researched; i'm not sure what i shoud think of it....

there are contradictions between the genealogy of Jesus given in the first Chapter of Matthew and the genealogy contained in the third chapter of Luke. Both genealogies list Jesus’ father as being Joseph (which is curious, given that Mary was supposedly impregnated by the Holy Ghost), but Matthew states that the name of Joseph’s father was Jacob, while Luke identifies him as Heli. Matthew reports that there were twenty-six generations between Jesus and King David, whereas Luke claims that there were forty-one. Matthew alleges that Jesus’ line of descent was through David’s son Solomon, while Luke says that it was through David’s son Nathan.


seems odd that he can be the son of god, when analyzing the "good book" rationally.:scratch:


Other passages demonstrating that the earth remains stationary include Psalm 93:1 ("The world is [e]stablished, that it cannot be moved."), I Chronicles 16:30 ("[T]he world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.") and Psalm 104:5 (The Lord "laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed forever.").


a pickle also since i thought the earth orbits the sun... Hmmm, What was that guys name again? Galileo?:help:

Wierd. Because the more i look at the bible the more cracks i see... would be wierd to have a religion that was based on a book of lies, huh?

[Bashing AvoHej]

man this blind faith is quite ignorant and annoying.

He Does !!! God Is Real !

[little chris]

Yes

[OhhhChung]

If there was a 99.9% chance that God existed, then I wouldn't be a Christian, simple as that.

[RalPA]

Oh yes, He definitely exists!

[2Timothy2]

This is the fundamental question, isn't it. Christianity is meaningless if He doesn't exsist. But, of course, He does and He wants us to know Him.

[LiberatedChick]

He definately exists

[Rado]

If God does not exist,you didn't exist also .So,God as loved the world as he sent his onlyson so that quinconque believes in him has life eternal

[~Lynn~]

whether I'm right or wrong in my beliefs, whether the person next to me is right or wrong in his or her beliefs, there is 100% certainly a God

[jewishprincess613]

Of course G~d exists! Not only is the Torah itself proof enough of His existance, but for those who cannot bring themselves to believe in it, the wondrous beauty and complexity of this amazing Earth should be!

[Touring3D]

100% certain due to the Holy Spirit's influence on my life. :prayer:

[Mitch]

I'm
99.999999999999999999999.............% sure god exists, which is more sure that he exists than I'm alive

99.999999999999999999999.............% sure god exists, which is more sure that he exists than I'm alive
:D

agnostic point of view:

99.999999999etc.% sure of God, and that last fraction percent represents how sure he is of himself.

da dum, kish.

:P sorry, couldn't help myself. :D

[_Zap_]

I'd say i'm around 99.99999% certain there's a god. I'm about 97% sure that the god i'm following is the real one. That's good enough for me. :D

[Caprice]

I believe that the fact that the universe exists is enough to infer that a god exists. I will not sit here and say that I do not have some doubts as to who or what God is, but I believe that is part of what makes a person's faith.

I'm no stellar christian. I won't pretend to be. Part of what I believe in is that I don't have all the answers and I pray for that enlightenment over time.

I do have to agree tho that it is kinda silly to open a poll asking "does god exist?" in a religious forum. lol

[The "J"]

After running a huge Beowulf cluster running a calculator for 12 years....

100%

[okiemommy26]

yes

[Neal]

Come on--we're humans! By our standards, we really can't prove that an invisible God exists. We do have evidence for Him. And as the next best thing to absolute certainty of proof is 66.7%, then that's what I choose.

[GodFlute2]

110% Other things just don't make sence.

[AntiChristian]

110% sure that GOD DOES NOT EXIST! For first it is unlogical. The second major thing is that things said in the bible and other "smart books" just dont come together. In one place it is said that god created light and dark, good and evil. In another place it is said that god created all good and "satan" created all the evil. Christianity is the biggest disaster to mankind. For 15 centuries christians have killed, tortured and terrorised millions of people.

Christianity was just a way to control the people hundreds of years ago. There were these important popes and priests and people, who decided that people should give "god" money and they put it in their pockets. They should go and "free the pagans" by slaughtering them, taking their lands and property and by slaving them. And they could do these and may many other things because there were enough stupid people that believed the story of god. You see, because there were so many believers, then the christians could kill and torture everybody that opposed them, by saing that they have "sinned". The smart people with their own mind were in minority.

One thing I hate is, that so many people say that if religion would disappear the tolerance and concience would disapear. Now that is nonsense. Christians are the most intolerate people of all. Everyone who are not believers or are just not christians are in the "wrong path" and stupid or not "enlightened". Before the christians invaded europe countries people were getting along there just fine.

Cruelty... Because christians excused every torture, murder etc with god's will and by saving the victims soul, people have not noticed the cruel behaviour of christians. I'm just going to tell a few ways christians used to tortured everyone who opposed them. One way was to burn a mask while it was red from the heat and place it on the victims face. When it cooled down, the mask was removed from the victim with his/her skin and eyes. As if that was not enough they took hot pincers and removed the victims tongue. Everyone knows that christians used to burn people. Well... surprise surprise, they managed to make it even worse. They built a large swing(the stick, where children sit on both ends and one side goes up, then another, then the first and so on...) The victim was tied on one end and he/she was raised in the air. A fire was made under the victim and he/she was lowered in the fire and taken out of it to make her torture longer and to strike more fear to people who would have wanted to not believe in christianity. There were more awful ways to torture victims but im not going to name any of them anymore...

Why is it that so many miracles and "doings of god" have been proved scientifically these days? It is because humen could not explain everything hundreds of years ago and the christians used them and told that they were miracles of god. When some scientists were able to prove the "miracles of god" scientifically then they were burned as witches/wizards or what ever. Because of that christians have slowed down science and knowledge. One great example is that the christians sayed that everything revolved around earth, including the sun. Well, when Galileo Galilei stated that the earth revolves around the sun, he was threathened to be tortured and killed if he does not renounce all belief in the Copernican theories. He did it and he was sentenced life in prison, where he died. There are still people who deny that earth revolves around the sun. Since science is far more better than it used to be, the christians have lost popularity and they cant do anything horrid in the name of god anymore, though there are a lot of people who belive it.

There are A LOT more horrible facts about christianity and most blinded people in this forum haven't probably heard them. I am not going to say anything anymore and I'm going to give you a link in hope that some people would come to reality... jesusneverexisted.com

Only bad things have come from religion, especially christianity and the world ould be a lot better place without it.

Might have some mistakes in my writing, not from an english speaking country...

[unimportantbuthisnameis]

Although I believe in the existence of God 100%. I do have to give a great deal of validty to the post by antichristian, about the way many "Christians" have acted and still proclaimed it the will of God.

It just proves God is not a wimp.

[Carl Rapel]

God does have a sense of humor. but what kind of question is this? Of course God is 100% definite. He (Jesus) fulfilled over 3000 prophesies, how could any human do that? He also rose again from the dead? I would love to see someone try do that these days (w/o God's help of course) and I have personally witnessed a promise of God that is described in Acts. How could He not be definite with all of this proof? There are so many things the human mind cannot fathom that scientists have discover. 18.02 ml of water contains 602 sextillion atoms in it. How could anything be that small? How could something else create a star? How could something else create all of these things when a mere pint of water contains that many atoms. Think about your body! The oceans! How many atoms do they contain?! That is how I know God is definite.

I'm surprised that 100% didn't vote that God does exist. There are books by men and women that can put it much better than I can. But what it boils down to is yes He does exist. He lives in my heart, He has changed me, He created me. I haven't seen God but I have seen the affects of God.

**I'd rather spend my entire life beliving in God and finding out when I die that He didn't exist than to spend my entire life not believeing in Him and coming face-to-face with Him when I die**

[DarkGalaxy]

Of course God exists. If God exists, it stands to reason he would make himself known. He did, through the Bible, and through his Son, Jesus Christ. We needed a Messiah, and God was true to send him here. We needed salvation, and this is what we have received. It all makes sense, and works perfectly. :angel:

[Greg the byzantine]

People always question whether or not God exists, and they wrap themselves up in trying to find the truth, but as anyone who believes knows they are working themselves up for nothing. Trying to explain Gods existence is impossible, because God is intangable we can't touch him, but at some moments in our lives we can feel his unexplainable presence. Just going into church does it for me.

[brinny]

you bet'cha!

[die2live]

It doesn't surprise me that science backs up faith. I know it does. I know that any that doesn't is flawed. How do I know? Believe it or not, I'm not just arrogantly stuck in my stubborn beliefs. I know because I have faith. Hebrew 11: 1 say that faith is being sure of what we hope for and ceratin of what we do not see. Go ahead and make all the scientific and mathematical calculations to try to verify Scripture. If it doesn't work, the flaw is not in Scritpure, it's in science. You don't need to see it to know it's true.

[rachewil15]

100% yes He does!!!

[Saruman]

Personally: 100%

Probablility...wow that is a tough one. With faith put aside there is just theories. You can say "but look outside, see the trees and the mountains and the earth, something had to create this!", then someone could sit you down and show you how mathematically possible it was for a planet to be so far from the earth, and have a satelite and posses all of the ingredients for life. It just comes down to that feeling in your gut, the voice in your heart. You just know God exists, I think that is why Jesus stressed faith so much.

[Lordismyobsession16]

without a doubt.

[shari54]

100% - Definitely

[ysl_75]

I believed that God exist because He always listened to my prayers and bless me in every way... Praise the LORD! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_32v.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZS)

God does exsist. When you look at a painting, you know there was a painter,when you look at a building, you know there was a builder, the same way, when you look at creation, you know there was a creator....God.

God Bless.

[encouraging_angels1]

God does exist!, i know i wouldn't have gotten though my year 11 experience without HIM, or my year 12 painful experience, encouraging_angels1 and my orginal one was encouraging_angels they are both mine.

[encouraging_angels1]

God guided me throughout my life!, and through ym two toughest years, year 11 and year 12.


GOD IS AMAZING AND HE IS REAL.

Song Lyrics: Everything'S Changed
Album Lyrics:

You ask me why
Why I’m so different
Why I’m not the same as everybody else
Well something changed
It just happened
When I opened up my heart and let Him in

Jesus came in He came into my life
And I know I never felt so good

Coz Everything’s changed Everything is different
Everything’s changed Everything is different
Everything’s changed Everything is different
Everything’s changed Everything is different
Now

You ask me how
How I can be sure
How I know it’s not just something else for fun
Coz He’s so real
So real in my life
He picked me up and turned my universe around

Everything, everything, everything in my life’s changed
Everything, everything, everything in my life’s different

I am falling to my knees
I need You Lord to breathe in me
My prayer is still the same
My heart is calling out Your name

Sweet anointing fill this place
I am found in Your embrace

Rain down on me
Rain down on me
Here in Your presence I am free
Pour down like rain
Come and touch me again
Lord let Your presence fall on me

I’m longing just to see
Your power and Your majesty

Sweet anointing fill this place
I am found in Your embrace

Sweet anointing
Wash me over
Sweet anointing
Wash me over

Oh Lord
You have given to me all I need
And I pray
For your will to be done
And I ask
For your spirit to work in my life
And that I can
Be a blessing to you

Holy one
Your the light in my darkest day
Showing me
The power of your truth
And I ask
For the touch of your spirit in me
Giving me
The faith to believe

And I will stand here
Lost in your love
And I will worship forevermore
I will stand here
Ever amazed
And I will worship forevermore

Oh Lord
You have given to me all I need
And I pray
For your will to be done
And I ask
For your spirit to work in my life
And that I can
Be a blessing to you

And I will stand here
Lost in your love
And I will worship forevermore
I will stand here
Ever amazed
And I will worship forevermore

[~ Gig ~]

Look around, isn't it obvious that there is a God.:angel:

[brinny]

Of course He does :D

[no_worries]

God Is Real. The Bible Is True. Jesus Is Alive.

[Krystina661]

Of course He does :D


:clap:

[MommylovesRJ]

If I had any doubts before I had my wee one, they were cleared up as soon as I gazed upon my wee one's face. Most certainly, the perfect beauty of a child is not a coincidence of molecules.

[Angel_Delight]

100% - God definately exists :thumbsup:

[BillR]

I am 100% sure God exists too :wave: :wave:

[Godjunkie]

Ditto, and it's not because of probability that I think so either, but I won't go into that because it involves infinity and other mathematical stuff like that.

[Links234]

0% - I don't like the odds 31 6.61%

Baahahahahahha.

[meebs]

A 50% chance that he may, or may not, exist.

My personal (deep down) feelings are 0% until proved otherwise.

[LadyCoyote_Fin]

:priest:100% I'm sure!!!!

In God we trust!!!

Amen

LC :angel:

[HotRhymez]

Yeah, I believe there is a God.

[Mister_mag00]

Yes-absolutely GOD exists.:cool:

[kwanseemun]

Definitely! :D

[L.A.W.]

If God does not exist then how did we come into existense? In that matter, how did creation come into being without a creator? If you believe in the big bang theory, then how did the big bang happen when before it was nothing? There had to have been something. Now how did God come into being? The mystery is, He created himself out of his own will. Now if God created himself out of His own will, then no doubt is He qualified to be God the Almighty. I know that is hard to swallow, but that is the challenge if you can believe it or not. For if God cannot create himself then He is not qualified to be God. He wouldn't be God. Then how are we to believe in Him and that He can do anything? Life would really be screwed up and there would be no salvation and we exist in accident and everything would be meaningless. Life would be all gloom and doom. The future would be endless of sin and sorrow. That would just suck, but because we know there is a God and that He is the Almighty that we are abled to be saved by His mercy through Yahushua. Blessed is God who created the Heavens and the Earth and everything in them. In God's hands, anything is possible.

[MQTA]

Life would be just as we see it, today, either way. Interesting logic, it's just not logical

[jesusfreak22]

Yes!

[cbalke]

i dig God - He loves me even though I'm a complete shmuck.

[cuddlebear]

Does God Exist?

Yes.

OK next question?

Don't mean to be facetious, but it really is that simple to me .. At one time, I tried to deny God's existence .. my life didn't work very well at that time ... eventually I had to let go of my disbelief .. I believe everyone at some time is forced out of it, but better sooner than later :)

God bless everybody!

I didn't really think to much about your post...but God did not create himself out of his own will, unfortunately your theory breaks down there. The bible states that God was always there.

[Blah770]

God doesnt exit in my opinion, but the belief in something of higher power (God) is necessary to keep the majority in order, id hate to see the world without it.
my 2 cents:)

I have been bothered (it does bother me) when my friend tells me he wants to save me, on mulitple occasions were i have no interest in any religion at all, yet he insists that someday he will make me beleive in god. I really dont know how to tell him nicely that i have no interest in this for my beleifs are different, so that he will never bother with the topic again..

[food4thought]

God is the uncaused cause behind the existence of everything.

God is. Everything else came into being by His will.

We will never prove this absolutley, and I'm absolutely fine with that. I hope that agnostic and athiestic scientists will stop trying to place a burden of proof upon God's existence that they don't on quantum reality. Can't see it, can't directly observe it, seems to be beyond the normal laws of materialistic science...

[just_dance]

If God didn't exsist than how did 2 not living cells come together and decide to become aliveand create the universe. Now that odd of happening I don't like.

[Tanyalita]

Duh! Yes, 100% sure he exists.

[Tanyalita]

If God didn't exsist than how did 2 not living cells come together and decide to become aliveand create the universe. Now that odd of happening I don't like.

Exactly!

[cbalke]

God doesn't exit?

OK...:)

[diamond717]

I have never doubted God's existence since the age of 5 years. God was just God, and he was there. He did everything.

The only thing I have doubted is whether God cares, or not.

The Bible says that it is so... and that is a comfort. :angel:

[gennypearl]

I do believe that there is God....the Bible itself is an evidence...

[Carmack]

I do believe that there is a God....the Quran itself is an evidence...

[MQTA]

All answers to the same question but not all the same meaning behind them.

[tck1987]

Yes!!

[Bemiah_Angel]

I don't have a shadow of a doubt that God exists, I know for a fact that God exists I always have believed that god is real and always will!

[Greenthumb]

Of course God exists.

[AvgJoe]

100% - without a doubt

[Melly Monster]

He is alive today and is living in my heart, I can feel his precents in me, I have gotten so close to him over the last few months and right now I think I'm as high on Chrst as can get and I do not wanna come down.

[mycatspice]

100% - Definitely

I agree w/Konnie! :thumbsup:

[walsh262]

ok

[walsh262]

ok

[kimthi]

yes, God exists

[GEO4CHRIST]

It is obvious that God exsists. Look around you, the very fact that you are reading my post is evidence that God is real.

[kycopswife]

I definately believe in God.

[Donyc]

100%

[lost_and_found]

100% Of course He does!

[alabaster jar]

I believe in God. Does my belief make it exist?

[runner_for_jc]

ARE YOU CRAZY!!!!!!!!! OF'COURSE THERES A GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHAT A DUMB QUESTION!!!!

[Mal2]

sure there is......and her name is Eris

[MQTA]

Goddess of discord???

[GoldenStorm]

God has existed, is existing, and will forever exist. He has no beginning or end. He is the Beginning and the End.

[Kira Yamato]

Even the demons said that god existed. Read Luke 4:31-36

[Mal2]

Goddess of discord???

you are correct sir

*gives MQTA a cookie*

[maylu_roll]

I dont know for sure, but my belief is 100%. Sure sumtimes I have my doubts but i like to think there is sum1 up there watchin over us.

[Jatopian]

Given the improbability of humanity's existence... I would say closer to 100% than to 66.7%.

[Zion12]

That's like saying is air real just because we can't see it

[svdbygrace]

100%! :crossrc:

[MQTA]

we can measure air content
