Evidence that God exists
 

I know a lot of Christians on this forum believe that there is direct evidence of a God. I would like to hear some of this evidence. And none of the following is evidence:

1. Lots of people believe in God (lots of people believed the world was flat)

2. Miracles by a prophet (you can't claim a miracle as evidence of God if you didn't witness the miracle)

3. The existence of the universe (just because matter exists doesn't mean that God exists)

Obviously that is my idea of a bad joke, like my stupid screen name that I now have to change.

Isn't religion all about belief rather than evidence?

Oh. Why don't you just say what your looking for. Something like a Bible the size of Texas falling out of the sky, that way when it doesn't happen you can "logically" infer that there's no God.

How about just anything observable and not based on heresay.

Who believed the world was flat? Most of Europe before Columbus and all those folk. Lots of people believe in Santa Claus and that Tupac is still alive, etc. That doesn't make it true.

And how does the existence of matter prove there is a God exactly? There is a universe -&gt; There is a God? I don't think follows necessarily. And it's especially not true that the existence of matter proves there is a Christian God.

I thought so too, but I've read a lot of posts on this forum saying things to the contrary.

Re: Evidence that God exists
 

The reason I included the whole "none of the following is evidence" part is because all the things I listed don't prove anything. I was just trying to list off a few things in my initial post so that I wouldn't have to deal with each of them later. You can see why they aren't evidence of a God, right?

I think that I believe in God at the moment, but I don't think that there is any way that his existence can be proved.
