I asked this SAME question, a little over 2 years ago and got various results. Out of boredom, I logged onto my account, and looked at some of my old questions. And some of the answers that I have received. Out of ALL of them. This is by far the best answer. Or not so much an answer, but a way of looking at it. This is what it said :

Are we creatures real?


"(About two weeks after posting the above answer)
Have you the answer right now? Unsure of it?
Summarize all the answers you received. You will find that there are two main groups; some believe in God's existence and some do not.
Use all your knowledge and experience and think wisely and whole fully. Which is the real answer?
Imagine that you are making an equation. You must ensure that you do not leave any digits behind, right? If not, you will have the wrong answer.
Consider them, the answerer, as an equation solvers; solving the quizzical problem whether God exists or not.
You go trace their beliefs. If some of their beliefs are non-rational in all aspects, leave their answers. If the others have the answers opposite to the non-rational ones, follow them. However, forget not to do a recheck or two. You may not wanting to regret.
Remember, like in Maths or in Science, only AN ANSWER or A CONCLUSION is acceptable.
Good luck equating!"

This is a debate in a sense. I'm not going to lie, in some sense I do believe in a God, in other I don't. A lot of people only believe in God because they want something, or they want to be rewarded. A lot of people only believe and do good because they get rewarded and be sent to heaven. But doesn't that somewhat of defeat the purpose then? If God was real, and wanted use to do good, he would want us to do it without the hunger of a reward. Why would he tempt us with a heaven?

Others say God was a invention of Man. A tool used to give people Hope, a way to keep on living when thing looked their worse. Coincidence had appeared, and people wanted an answer. God was that answer.

Others say God is just not real. A fictional character. They ask for others to explain evolution, dinosaurs, fossils, and other prehistoric items. Did God create dinosaurs? Why did he start there and not with humans then?

Once again Yahoo! I ask of you, is God real? You must have the answer.

In respect to comment that answer, I guess I should put it into my own frame of perception.



God is a concept. It is irrelevant how we divide our senses in order to define that concept. The Nature or Religion is there and we are part of it. Our individual destinies are part of our One Destiny. Our Destiny is to be One with God, despite where we End.



Religion is our connection to the Center of Everything Existing, as we Mature toward it.



God is Everything is God.

I am happy that you have a quizzical thinking mind unlike millions of blind followers of different religions.

Truth or reality is rational and comprehensible.

Lets start from something not there.

How about if one of your friends tell u that he is going to own a building.He puts a pile of bricks and a few bags of cement.A big bang occurs and after a few hours a big skyscraper is there. The skyscraper is all furnished with central heating,water and sewerage system in place.

Lets say there is no god,so from where and how all the universe and its inclusions in perfect equilibrium came and being maintained.

Now there is another friend who says that he is going to own a scyscraper and says he is going to take help from a contractor.

So which friend is sane and u would believe?

Besides if v have been sent to this world for a specific time period there r a few commands of God to be obeyed in order to win back the ticket to home.

The world with all its stuff is going to put us off the track and its each human;s job to look for the straight path get guidance from authentic sources and help others too to get back home.

I wish u good luck in your life as u strive for truth and straight path.

God is real. The seasons continue as they are as in the days and ages past; the tides; the churning of the hot lava underneath the earth; the ocean does not overstep its bounds (although this planet is 75% water and 25% land); the clouds and the horizon above have little pockets for airplanes to travel through; the cells in our body multiply and replenish those cells that expire; the human heart beats the nth time from the time of human conception - a sign that means you are still alive; a sign that says God is keeping you alive.

Yes, God is real.

Are saved pixels real? When I consider the millions of documents that are stored electronically, it is hard to fathom that they are "real".



I am in charge of receiving, filing and storing thousands of legal government documents a month. We have gone 'paperless'. My mind cannot wrap itself around the idea that all those vital words and images are just "stored" and that they will remain that way for eternity - or 10 years whichever comes first.



How does anyone KNOW all those zeros and ones will hang there indefinitely? How can you prove it?



I know God is real, I just know it, and unless you have any faith in a higher power, you will never have this question answered to your satisfaction.



I have a friend who is an egg nog stick, he was near red in the face attempting to get me to believe that electronically stored words are as permanet and real as words stored on paper...it was funny, cause then I said, "It is the same with God my friend..."

I answered this question, about a week ago, and I am proud to say......got best answer , out of many.



I will not repeat it all here, as that gets tedious giving the same long answers over and over.......but you are free to check my questions, and find the answer I gave.



It involved a riff on Santa Claus and God.



and I dare say.......it was a far better answer than this one, you give here. That really doesn't compute.

Does it truly matter?



Why should god's being or non-being affect how we live out our daily lives? If it does, aren't we hypocritical?





Tureq down below:

PLEASE DO NOT TYPE IN CAPS. IT IS FREAKINGLY IRRITATING.

And just because your answer has the word "atom" in it does not make it scientifically accurate. The mouse is no longer alive because its heart stopped beating. If you want to know why the heart makes it alive, I suggest you read a book on evolution and how life started due to evolution.

Once again, no. lol I was a xian for 30 years and it got me no where. If there was a god, believe me, I would have gotten some where. I wasted 30 years of my life. I wish I could take them back, but I can't.

I understand where non believers are coming from.



But I had an experience.



In my bedroom one night Jesus saved me when I gave my life and heart to Him.



Jesus filled my heart with peace and love dude.



I felt it.



Nothing to do with a Church Denomination or collection plates



or Dogma.Just a kid that cried out for help when no one could help me.



But that night I found out there was someone that could help

I have never found any evidence to suggest that any gods (after all, there are plenty to choose from) are real

"Those who come to God must believe that He is. And that He is the rewarder of them that do diligently seek Him."



I believe if God made the answer too easy then only the truly foolish would continue living in a manner which is displeasing to Him. We have been endowed by our creator with free will, the right to make our own judgements and we must understand that repercussions/reactions associated with our actions are ours to bear.



Judaic law requires the sacrifice of a spotless lamb for the atonement of sin. Our loving God sent his only begotten son, Jesus Christ to play the role of that spotless lamb, "who takes away the sins of the world".



And here again, you have a choice to make. Ultimately, as Jesus grew and gathered his disciples around him, he Himself, has given us much information about Himself, his plans and our future. Our part is easy, be born again in the spirit just like Jesus told Nicodemus in John 3:3 and emphasized in John 3:7.



Romans 10:8-10 goes something like this: "What? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, the word of faith that we preach. That if thou would believe in thine heart that God hath raised Jesus from the dead, and if thou willst confess Jesus with thy mouth, thou shalt be saved. For it is with the heart that man believeth unto righteousness and it is with the mouth that confession is made unto salvation."



You ask, Is God real? The best answer anyone can give is to provide you with the framework to find out for yourself. For as it is written: "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Hebrews 11:6



Hebrews, chapter 11 is commonly referred to as the 'faith chapter'. I think as humans, our choices are in the least, straight forward, we have a merciful God offering peace via Jesus Christ. God is doing as a extreme demonstration of his mercy toward us.



Extreme punishment, eternal damnation, only comes from those whom, by their own choices, have opted not to believe the simple gospel message that is able to save your soul but instead, chose to stick with the life of sin, apart from God, that so easily influences your every judgement.



Your call. Your choice. Allow me to make it easy for you as I am one who knows that the word of God, never returns void. I will bind you to a response in your own heart. Like I said, your call.......



"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you, life and death, blessings and cursings, therefore, choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live."



Could be a good promise for you. Don't screw it up!

• YOU THINK WHY HE CREATED HUMAN AFTER ANGELS??

HE WANTS FROM US SOMETHING BUT HE DOES NOT WANT TO DO IT WITH HIS MIGHT.

WE ARE IMPORTANT FOR HIM EVEN IF WE WILL BE NEVER PERFECT AS MUCH AS HOW HE WANTS.HUMAN MEANS FOR HIM NOT JUST ONE OF US. HUMAN MEANS FOR HIM JUST LIKE A BULK OF DOUGH AND EACH OF US IS A SMALL BALL OF THAT DOUGH BULK.(QUALITY OF THAT DOUGH BULK WILL NEVER HOW HE WANTS) MAYBE HE WANTS TO MAKE A PARTNER FOR HIMSELF FROM THAT BULK?

HAVE U EVER PLAYED CHESS WITH YOURSELF??

THAT YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPENED BUT STILL CONTINUE TO PLAY?? IF YOU WOULD KNOW ALL WHAT HE KEPT SECRET FROM US THAN U WOULD BE A SECOND GOD?

THERE WILL BE ALWAYS UNRESOLVABLE QUESTIONS TO PROOF HIS EXISTENCE.HIS KNOWLEDGE IS HIS POWER THAT ONE OF US WILL NEVER HAVE AND UNDERSTAND



DON'T THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT HIM.YOU CAN NOT HOLD HIM TOTALY.U AND I AND OTHERS WE ARE NOT ENOUGH QUALIFIED TO STAY BESIDE HIM. WE ALL WILL STAY ALWAYS UNDER HIS ABODE.HE DID NOT ASK U OR ME OR SOMEONE ELSE IF WE WANT TO BE EXIST OR NOT.HE DOES ALWAYS WHAT HE WANTS.

He is as real as the universe. You can feel him in the breeze and hear his voice in the wind. Whether you choose to listen or not is up to you.
