What would evidence of God be?

Question

>Implying God wants us to believe that we were created.

But anyway-

It can't be photos, anyone can say Photoshop.
It can't be videos, anyone can say Vegas/After Effects. Look at movies like Transformers, do you believe there are giant robots which can transform into trucks etc?
It can't just be text or general data plotted/recorded as they can be interpreted any way you like.
Plus it doesn't accustom the separate languages + numeric systems in the world.

Look at English, it's not the same as Mandarin. The two languages, but, are very popular. However, the principles are still there.
Look at (I don't know what it's called) the Western numeric symbols, it's not the same as the Arabic numeric symbols. However, the principles are still there.

What would evidence be for God?
If God is infinite, there cannot be ANY proof for God. Perhaps to an individual, but that individual will NEVER convince anyone else as we can just utter 'hallucination'.

You can't prove infinity.
But this doesn't mean infinity doesn't exist.

The clause 'absence of proof = proof of absence' can only apply to things in this dimension, in this nature.
Infinity isn't part of this world/dimension.

So, we can't prove it. We can't disprove it.
We can't even comprehend it.

So why worship it? Why say it's evil and bad?

Just ponder about it, it's pointless, but you'll be closer than any other obnoxious 'scientific' atheist or foolishly strict religious person will ever be.

The greatest scientists were also sceptics, even of their own theories, look at Albert Einstein.

Answer 1

I posed this question to some scientists in the geology section and the biology section on Yahoo Answers. It was a very interesting and mature conversation. They all agreed that there really isn't any way to prove God's existence, or any other deity for that matter, unless we know what we are testing for. So basically, even if God were standing in front of a bunch of scientists, they wouldn't know yet how to prove that he existed. I wish we could have mature conversations like this on R&S.

Answer 2

When they talk about god creating the universe and the earth etc, they are talking about something that happened a long time ago and there are obviously no witnesses or rock solid evidence, unlike the evolution theory where we have, well, everything on earth to prove it, fossils, cave paintings, bones etc etc and etc.

Jesus also walked the earth a long time ago and did some miraculous things. The thing is, all this happened so long ago and nothing has happened in the last 6000 years. Religious people just hang around waiting for salvation etc. I do not see any evidence of miracles happening today like they apparently were back then.

Evolutionary findings are happening every day and constantly updating and renewing. Religion is old and stale.

You really have to look to our future and stop looking into the past for answers for our existence.

Answer 3

"Look at (I don't know what it's called) the Western numeric symbols, it's not the same as the Arabic numeric symbols."

-- Actually, the "Western numeric symbols" are called "Arabic numerals."



"You can't prove infinity."

-- Sure you can. For instance, you can prove that there are infinitely many integers by assuming there are finitely many integers and reaching a contradiction.



"When atheists/agnostics say 'give me proof'. They're asking for a contradiction."

-- Personally, I've given up on proof. I'd be happy with a definition. What exactly are theists talking about when they say "god"?

Answer 4

Anything for which there could be no natural explanation. Nothing an omnipotent entity couldn't easily handle.



A few examples:

1) A new planet appearing overnight to our solar system, and its rocks are filled with Bible-verses

2) A statistical study that showed praying in one way, say with one's hands clasped, is more effective than praying in an another way, say with fists clasped.

3) God talking to everyone on the planet simultaneously and writing his name with fiery letters on the sky.

4) The discovery of an alien civilization that worshiped an exactly identical God.



Edit: There's nothing unnatural about the concept of infinity. For example there's an infinity of conceivable numbers and there's nothing unnatural about numbers. Your logic is a bit strange here.



Edit 2: The supernatural is defined as: "Attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature." It is not defined as not being supported by strong evidence. There's nothing contradictory about a scenario where we had strong evidence something did come from a supernatural origin. We just don't have a scenario like that.

Answer 5

If God doesn't want you, you could see Him and still not do what is necessary to become okay with Him. He could send you 7 plagues, tell you they were coming, you could see those plagues and survive them, and still not be interested in becoming a worshiper of His.



God presents himself to those he wants spiritually, affecting them towards salvation. Everyone else, doesn't. He doesn't want them.



So, is there any evidence of God? Is there? If you don't have any, I guess he doesn't want you. Are you sure?

Answer 6

He's omnipotent.



You really don't think an omnipotent being is capable of proving himself? What kind of logic is this?



Why doesn't God upload a picture to his facebook account? I think we've hit new levels of stupidity here. These questions used to be reserved to level 1 trolls.

Answer 7

if he popped his head through the clouds and said hi

like in monty pythons that would be proof for me

Answer 8

there is no evidence for God cause hes nothing he probably doesn't exist, the concept of god was used for thousands of years to control stupid masses who couldn't think for themselves because if they did they would be killed.

Answer 9

You're saying this all-powerful god can't come up with evidence? Hmm.

Answer 10

Um.. just look around you. Everything in nature is God made.

Answer 11

love

Answer 12

The proof and evidence is all around you and everywhere, undeniable proof, and indisputable visible evidence. It is called creation and life. Unless your are blind, deaf, and senseless. You can see, smell, taste, hear, feel, and examine the evidence. ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> We live on a planet teeming with life. Plant life with approximately 250,000 species, animal life with over a million species. Scientists are learning just how complex life is. So complex that it requires design. The evidence of design requires a designer. Scientists are also learning the conditions for life; just how perfect conditions here on planet Earth are to support all this life. ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> The human brain, it absorbs forty megabytes per second of data while awake. That is two terabytes of data a day. At night, it sorts and stores that data through the creation of new chemical bonds and synaptic connectors. ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> Sure, right, this all just happened and evolved. This sort of thinking takes considerable faith, exponentially more faith than believing in a creator. Creator or not, there is wisdom in life. I guess the question is, "does wisdom come from nothing?"

Answer 13

"I do believe in fairies, I do, I do!"

I guess it's faith that makes him real.



I don't have any faith in religion unfortunatley.
