The Evidence for God

Post by Fruitloops007 »

Hello fellow humans,

I am new to this forum. I joined because I am very interested in hearing the evidence for God. Years ago I dropped my Christian faith due to the absence of evidence. However, is there anyone who can demonstrate evidence that I may have possibly missed?

You had faith in a religion, not in God. Congratulations, you did well to drop that useless faith.

Are you capable of accepting the evidence? or does your present faith have your mind tightly shut? y:-?

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.

Welcome to the forum.

Also, do not anticipate that you will be served with evidence within one post, or more posts and BUM - you will be a believer.

Hopefully, you will enjoy this forum.

Yes, but for some it will be too late.

Ok, I will start with something:

What do you think: Why world exists?

I am open to any belief, claim, or assertion that has supporting evidence.

About 4.6 billion years ago, one particular nebula in one particular galaxy collapsed to form a star that would eventually be called the Sun and its planetary system.

The answer is found in Psalm 19.

Where is nebula from? Where is galaxy from? Where are physics laws from?

So, you say there is reality and its properties. I could ask where that reality with its properties is from but I will now ask you: are the properties of the reality still the same? Once someone lost his part of leg it can never heal again, right? Then why people witness 'miracles' like healing amputess?

Um...really? Okay, that's impressive. Linky perhaps?

Much cheers to all.

Healing amputees?! Do you mean the regeneration of amputated limbs? You need to explain yourself, Dr Hana.

The universe borrowed energy from the vacuum to create vast amounts of matter and antimatter in nearly equal numbers. Most of it annihilated and filled the universe with photons. Less than one part per billion survived to form protons and neutrons and then the hydrogen and helium that make up most of everything there is. Some of this hydrogen and helium collapsed to make the first generation of massive stars, which produced the first batch of heavy elements in their central nuclear fires. These stars exploded and enriched the interstellar clouds that would form the next generation of stars. Finally, about 4.6 billion years ago, one particular nebula in one particular galaxy collapsed to form a star called the Sun with its planetary system.
