Question:
Is God Real or is he just fake?

I think I have settled down a bit, putting in science in the equation I realized it is very possible that the universe does not require a god because the total energy of the universe is 0 (what I heard) because the positive and the negative energy balances eachother out.

I am starting to think that it is impossible to disprove god, and I'm debating whether he is real or not. How can science disprove god when god, if he is fake, always has the upperhand because people can change who he is.

I'm really starting to debate if god is real or not, and I am fighting with myself inside to chose one or the other. Because if god is real, then I'll burn in hell forever, but if he isn't I'm just wasting my time. Its like a lose lose really if we don't discover the truth.

I also observed past relegions, where people would hold to them till death, like Zeus, the egyptian gods, the hindu gods, etc. I also observed that people may have created relegion to calm people down and keep them orderly and not worry about things so much, thinking that things are better on the other side. I also observed the money side of it, where people donate huge sums to The church of scientoligy, chruches, synagogues, temples, etc.

With all the scientifict facts and theories, and human nature I say it is a high chance there is no god

And on the other hand, how could all this stuff happen without god? And how are we put into this body randomly and not someone elses?

Judging on the basis of how vast the entire universe is, I say it is very likely that life had to occur on just 1 planet, and lucky us it was earth.

With supporting evidence on both sides, we all know that when it boils down to the truth only 1 is right.

Anybody have any suggestions on what you think on if you think god is real or not, and why? And if you can point me to any websites that would be great. Thank you all!

Though I will never understand a full atheists perspective on this question I can tell you from a Christian standpoint that god is real. Look around you, it is impossible for all of the universe to have just somehow gone into the pattern that it has and though none of it makes sense someone or something had to have made it that way. God doesn't want the violence that man creates but he won't stop us from it completely. He gave us free will to choose how we wanted to live and do things. This means we all have a choice in the mistakes we make and the things we do to other people. And yes I know it's hard to wrap your mind around something that is as confusing as that but faith isn't about understanding it's about believing. So though there are always going to be non-believers in this world it is the believers duty to help steer them onto the right path and keep them there. I'm not saying that you have to go to church I'm just saying that god is to good to ignore.

Okay so I'm sorry if my answer is too long for you. But I can not really answer all your questions because you are the one that needs to answer them yourself. I have not read any of the answers but i bet a few will open your mind.



Let me start by telling you my belief and why. I think that there is a God out there somewhere;however, it does not have to be Jesus or anything from the bible. I also do not believe in the bible it is very contradicting and it is written by humans, who make mistakes.

I believe this because it just felt really passionate about all these thing in religion. It was hard to find the religion i belonged to and i have found out i don't belong to any. I have my beliefs and im am truly happy.



When it comes to heaven and hell, I am living my life being a good person to others I enjoy life but i am not a total savage. If there is a heaven or a hell then so be it. I do not believe that I am a bad enough person to go to hell and I truly can't tell you anything for on the matter because I myself have to see it to believe it. And if there is a hell i wouldn't mind going as long as God has answered my question of "Why everything".



My advice is read the bible choose what you believe and that is your religion take parts of other beliefs make it your own or if you go to a christian, catholic, or another church and like it then so be it.

It is your choice don't let your friend, family, teacher or anyone change your opinion; just remember its YOUR life, YOUR religion.





SORRY AGAIN FOR IT BEING SO LONG. BUT I HOPE I HELPED. IF YOU NEED MORE HELP OR ANYTHING MESSAGE ME GO TO MY 360 PAGE.

Ok one attribute of God is that he is the Creator of life. If it can be proved that there is a Creator of life, then this proves God is real right? We need three things: first the fact that proof is either a direct proof, or an indirect proof. An indirect proof is to prove that the opposite is impossible. Second we need a scientific answer. Now something is scientific because it is a situation that has repeatable results independent of the person performing the experiment. Third we need an analogy and the analogy is that animation (like that of machines), independent of outside physical forces ( a flood moving a rock is an example of an outside physical force) is an analogy of life.



The opposite view of God the creator is that there is not Creator and life just burst on the scene spontaneously. If this is true, then we should be able to prove it by saying seeing if animation of any sort is possible without an intelligent force acting on an inanimate object. The only example we have of animation is that of machines. Tell me does anything else that was originally inanimate start moving independent of outside physical forces, with connecting internal parts that support this movement, on its own without some intelligent force acting upon it to make it so? What can you prove without you yourself being the intelligent force acting upon inanimate objects? You can only prove that inanimate objects will act in conjunction with each other to move independent of outside physical forces only if an intelligence brought these objects together. This proves that life is a creation of a Creator. The Creator we call God.

Well you definately put some thought into this and Im glad to see that. If you want to see some more religious history stuff look up the zeitgeist the movie. It should answer some of your questions. And as for the whole God thing, I believe that the judaeo,christian, islamic God does not exist but as for just some god that lives out there somewhere, he mustve given up on us a long time ago.

For me I can't fathom a universe without divine creation.

I do know that some humans are always seeking a higher cause a purpose,However some don't need that sense of security.



I have never come across solid evidence that a god does exists.

If there was what would faith be? That would be knowledge not faith.

The entire universe does operate by a specific set of laws, not all of which have been discovered. If some choose to call this set of laws a 'god' and endow this 'god' with human attributes to make it more comfortable... and it helps them without harming others... then that's fine with me. Believe what you want but remember that the Entire Universe will call your bluff.

The problem with God is that there is not any evidence to indicate that God exists. Some fundamentalists claim to feel the presence of God, but their God is a change in the chemical balance or emotions of their body and nothing more.



If you want to explore the idea of God you might want to consider Karen Armstrong's new book "The Case for God". I don't agree with Karen but she is highly respected by intelligent people and not by the fundamentalists.

dear listen to me,

you have ignored all the history of mankind on earth.the prophets came and they started their preaching not deliberately but for the accomplishment the order of "GOD"

the main problem with the people that today's people are becoming materialistic they are looking at those things which are before them physically like science,world,etc.

they are not trying to realizing that this universe from where have come.

do you know then plzz tellm where the universe have come from?

where you will go after death?

can you defeat the death which is created by "GOD" as he born you.

GOD CAN CREATE FROM NOTHING AND WE POOR PEOPLE(SCIENTISTS) ONLY CREATE THIGS FROM THE SOURCES WHICH WE HAVE. that's the ig point.

we muslim have the proof for the existence of GOD and thats "THE HOLY QURAN".

I in which Scientific facts are revealed 1400 YEARS AGO.however its not a science book

i warm welcome you to great religion ISLAM however further its your choice

Perhaps if you kneel down and talk to God you will find your answers there. Also, if you read the bible you will find some answers there as well. When reading the bible think about the events that are happening today and tell me how people from that long ago know what is going to happen to this world. How could they all know without a God to tell them?

You shouldn't "chose" what to believe. You should base your belief on the information presented to you. The trick is knowing which information to believe. I've chosen rational thought over wishful thinking...

This is not a question to ask ,, GOD IS REAL !! ,,,,,, think of the whole world how do people live who controls them ,,, we didn't just show up like that !! i can't talk about which religion to choose because i think each person has his own choice , and should choose whatever he thinks is the best , but about me i think islam is the best of all ,, i respect all other religions ,, and by saying islam is the best i don't mean anything to others !!

god IS real.



baptism is the key to it all, if you think you will burn in hell forever.

as long as you are baptized and stay faithful to god and go to church, you will go to heaven. god is a forgiving god and you have to trust and believe in him! he knows we are human and he knows we all sin, you just have to ask for forgiveness.



as to websites, i know of none, but you can always read the bible!

Didn't bother reading that but god is actually a flying spaghetti monster. It's true. It's written down in a book. It must be true.

God is real, jesus is the way to eternal life. People are always saying bad things about him, but he did nothing wrong to anyone. He is all perfect and loving and people are just mean to him. And GOd still loves them. Good question how could all this stuff happen without him? This is not something to take not seriously. God is real, and i suggest talking to him, ask him to give you more understanding, and wisdom. also a loving heart, so you could feel his love as well. I'm christian, and proud of it!!! Go to him and i promise you won't regret it. I will pray for you and God Bless YOu.. God loves you and is waiting for you to go to him.

no knows if God is real or not. that's why its called belief. but im sure we're not the only ppl in the ENTIRE universe! i DO believe in God but that's just me. some ppl believe in Him and others dnt.
2009-09-12 18:49:20 UTC
Like Satan and Santa, a particular god is real to those who believe in it.

May I suggest you read Lee Strobel's "The Case for Christ"?

He set out to prove one way or the other about this problem you have, and you might find his discoveries of utmost interest.



Happy hunting.

NOT real.

Good websites...google anything to do with poverty. Striking evidence for the absence of a "God of love" will abound.

God is Santa Claus for adults, henceforth he is fake.

God is very real, and He loves you endlessly and unconditionally. He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for the sin of man. If you confess that Jesus died for you, and repent of your sins, you will be granted life in heaven.

God is real. If you die without putting your faith in Him as Lord and Savior, then its all over, and you will be forced to stand before Him and kneel. why take the chance with dying without him?
