You can’t. It’s just, simply, faith. It can’t be explain, it’s not something you can hold in your hand or force others to feel. Either it’s there or it isn’t, you have it or you don’t. Try explaining the a beautiful ocean sunset to the blind; as much as you try, it just won’t be the same to them as seeing. Opps, violated #2 i guess. Beside, you can’t prove one way or the other.
And I agree with justin. none of these answers are going to satisify you, anyway. You calling out people’s belief is just the same as them preaching to you. Whether you like it or not, your on the same level. References :
Philosophically speaking, the existence of God has never been proven or disproven.

well, there is no real proof, it’s just what you believe. i believe from the things i hear. but a lot of ppl may believe that we evolved from monkeys, which i don’t believe is possible. i don’t think you can change from a monkey to a person and develope a new look and language, it just doesn’t make sense. but for me i grew up around that, and a lot of ppl i got to know told me a lot and it just made me think and belive. for me it is good to know that there is that one person you could tell everything to and he will understand. thats my point of view. plus, i believe what the bible says, it seems like it could actually have happened. but thats just me. References :
sure..i could give submit you a 10 page paper of the evidence of God.(though i don’t have time right now) but what i’ve learned (in my short time here on Answers) is that you probably don’t want to hear it. i will give you the evidence that absolutley demands a verdict…and your first reaction will be to try to find holes in it.
your question should be….what proof can u give me that i will accept (or want to hear). the answer is nothing. i cannot. i have absolutely no contol whatsoever over what you believe. i can’t stop you from thinking the grass is red if that was what you wish. References : i say this respectfully in a friendly manner. peace.
cry me a river then build a brige and get over it!Nobody has to prove anything to you because it is up to you if you want to believe in it or not-just like it is up to every christian or catholic to believe in what they want to! References :
The proof is in the bible. I am aware you said don’t refer to the bible but that’s where it is. If you’re still not convinced, I say why don’t you try to believe in him and build a relationship with him. I mean you have nothing to lose. Once u try him then you will see why so many people have faith in him. I dare you! Give him I guess one month and you’ll be praising him too! References :
While asleep do you have an idea about the state of your body. You wake from this temporary death by God’s will. You may not wake up at all.Do you have a control over it? References :
I have absolute and complete proof in my own soul and heart. The only absolute and complete proof you can have is if God shows you He’s real to you. When you know—You Know. If you miss it, you’ve missed a lot.
Can you provide absolute and complete proof that God does not exist? No you can’t.
Thing is, if I’m wrong, I have nothing to loose. If you’re wrong, you loose big time. References :
I just feel something is higher than man. We just didn’t happen. As far as proof goes, Have you ever seen a baby born
that is proof right there. References :

Your question sounds dubious. It would be hard to prove something scientific without using scientific terms or elements within the experiment. And yet that is what you’re asking in your question about spiritual things.
But if you need proof WITHOUT those three things, I will do my best.
The Bible is the only reference that truly talks about the works of God. However, there are MANY secular sources that back up the accounts of the Bible. It is common knowledge in many cultural folklore that certain God-caused events have happened. For instance, there are over 210 different folk tales around the world of a Global flood that wiped out all humanity except certain penantent individuals. Though these many cultures have never mingled with one another, they somehow have almost the exact same story. The reason must be that all of these cultures have passed down lore from generation to generation from certain individuals that MUST have known them to be true. If they were false, they would have eventually be weeded out by logical thinking cultures. In addition, hundreds of cultures have stories that explain how there are differences in languages (The tower of Bab-el), the plagues of natural forces (The exodus account), as well as accounts throughout what is today considered the entire Biblical account.
Secondly, God’s ability to keep the Bible from being destroyed is a good mark of his existance. Throughout scantily recorded history from the second century onward, there have been many attempts to completely destroy the Bible, or at least alter it to incomprehension. The ability for the ENTIRE canon of the bible to stay in existance warrants divine help. Considering many of the documents of ancient times do not exist today, as cities like Babylon were to have claimed to have millions of books and documents, very few of which exist today, it shows a heavenly "eye", as it were, to protect the accounts of the Bible. So the existance of the Bible today is another piece of evidence.
Because of how narrowminded the question is, it would be impossible to explain it to you without using spiritual elements like the Bible. Just like trying to prove how the water cycle works without using nature or water to explain it, it would be impossible to provide a sound argument without using the Bible.
So I’ve done the best I can. References : Evidence of History.
No one has to prove to you that God exists. God does not need proving. We are not to test God, He tests us. Only Satan tries to test God, and then Satan puts the questions into the minds of people who are weak to him, like you.
So many people think that they are the strong ones for resisting God, but they are the weak ones for they give in to Satan. Satan has control over many like you. You just don’t realize it.
Believing in God takes something that you currently lack in, which is faith. Faith takes a great deal of strength to have, it is not present in those who are weak to Satan.
You can resist the unfaithfulness and blasphemous questions and statements that Satan throws at you, but you have to want to resist. The more you resist, the easier it will become. Then before you know it, one day, you will be trying to help people who were just like you.
Gods Word says that all who believe in Jesus and call upon His name can have salvation. But to believe takes faith. It’s a leap that you just have to decide to take. You can lose nothing by accepting Him, but you gain an eternal life in paradise, when you do.
God Bless you with the strength to have faith, wisdom, and salvation. References :
Jesus existed. His existence is accepted in history by religious and secular people alike.
Believing in his miracles…Well, how does one man conquer the entire Roman Empire and live beyond it even after death… Despite the many unbelievers, centuries of pagan worship, and christian persecution…It’s a miracle that so many have converted to believe despite all these trials…That Christianity has survived and conquered.
The Gospel of the Lord lives.
He’ll have the last laugh…when you’re dead.
It’s about faith, man.
Believer or unbeliever– I promise you you’ll be thinking about him in your last breath on your deathbed. References :
well, once I met Him in his throne room. It was a very peaceful place, and everyone who stood there was perfect and in accord. I, of course, had sinned, and was thrown before Him, having been stripped to the waist to recieve my punishment. (Imagine all those eyes looking at you! I felt every single regard in the place.) My hands were tied behind me and I tried cringing into myself so that no one could see me. That was futile!
The crime was known. (It was for sitting on my ass and doing nothing when I should have been doing something)
The punishment was decided (although, during the course of this, no one spoke)
The punisher came forth, (he was pre-assigned) and at the same time, God gave me the fortitude to withstand the punishment.
Everyone in the room was in agreement, even me. I was ready to take my licks and willing to take them.
Then something happened, but I can’t tell you what, because you said not to mention Jesus or Mary References :
You obviously know what a silly question this is. The answer is obviously no. A big part of Christianity and Catholicism is faith, there is no way to prove that God exists period from a scientific perspective.
Now that doesn’t mean that there is no God and the constant bickering between Agnostics/Atheists and those people with faith is ridiculous. Let those with faith have their faith and not be evangelistic jerks, they might be right. Let those who don’t believe not believe and not be angst ridden A-holes all the time, they might be right.
For all I know you both may be right.
P.S. Just to be fair the burden of proof is on the prosecution… so you have to be the one to prove that God doesn’t exist. No one has to prove anything to you. References :
People answering this saying that evolutionists say men evolved from monkeys just proves how little they know about evolution. I remember when my Baptist preacher "explained" evolution to the congregation when I was a kid. Everyone was laughing, and he made a whole big "Can you believe this crap?" speech. Unfortunately for them, as I learned later, every single thing he said was false and ridiculous. He was explaining something that sounded like evolution, but wasn’t even close.
Glossing over facts, and going by what a preacher tells you about evolution, I can understand why someone would think it’s silly. Do your homework! Read a damned textbook! References : On the subject of faith, where the hell did you all get this? Did Moses have faith? Did Paul have faith? Did any person in the entire Bible have faith? No! God talked directly to them, in various forms of fire and such. He performed miracles that proved he existed. The only reason YOU say you have to have faith, is because you have to be naive to believe what these ancient con-men told you! Come on, apply a little critical thinking here!
To believe in Santa Claus requires faith too. But for those of us who have done our homework, it requires more than that. It requires insanity.
no i can’t. but i might be able to help you with some definitions that may make your life more simple. Catholics are Christians- no need to seperate them out. No point asking: To all Americans & people that live in Minnesota. Redundancy is a thief- just think about all the extra time you’ll have now! References :
What for? You can’t find proof of god on the Internet.
You ask for proof but only in the way you want it. I have never seen the Amazon can you prove it exists. Absolute and complete…. with out telling me of books that talk about it, or fabricated pictures, or because everyone thinks it does.
Try being honest with what you are really wanting. what do you want proof for? Do you want to believe or not. Don’t use the excuse that it can’t be proven to justify your actions. Be honest with yourself and do what makes you truly happy. References :
U can’t see air, but the reason why u r breathing right now is bcoz your body lets u breath air which u can’t see at all.. God exists!

You get to understand more about life.. and have some effort to know Him, then, you’ll understand that God does exist! References :
