the bible could have been written by delusional men, remember, people at that time would have known little to nothing about mental illness, who's to say the people who wrote the bible didn't suffer from a mental illness that could have caused them to hallucinate god? Also people used to take drugs as a form of medicine, who's say they weren't high on crack?

Women have babies and science can only tell us how it happens but can't produce a baby without using what "God" has already created. That is the same in every instance. Science actually evidences the writings in the Bible. No other book in the world has been in existence with the knowledge that exists in the Bible. Scientific advancement is because of the Bible. The Bible sent man on a quest for answers and along the way Science has proven the Bible's wisdom over and over again. From the creation of earth, universe and man the Bible has knowledge that can come from no other source than a creator. Man would never have facts about God or anything else if God had not had the Bible recorded. 2 Timothy 3:16, 17 "All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work." Also, Romans 15:4 "For all the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction, so that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope."



The evidence is all around you; galaxies, earth, animals, sea creatures, vegetables, and humans. One of the things that helped me realize there is a superior being that created us is surgery. If the creation of the human body were not meticulously thought out medicine would be a miss. God put into action DNA and the course, other than defects, will put our organs in the same place every time! Of course, there are people born with organs on the opposite side but they are still in an arranged place. Evidence??? WOW

In fact, one can never find the evidence of God any where, the belief which we get religious books like Bible and others. Apart from this what kind of evidence will satisfy to believe the existence of God ? Neither there is evidence nor Any evidence will satisfy about His existence. There are many but one example- What is the evidence that Electricity exists ? Very simple answer will be Light from the Bulbs, movement of Fan .........etc, Similarly numerous things in the universe are the evidence of God. When we say God, some kind of shape/picture/photo .... comes in the mind but it is not so. God is beyond and beyond imagination. He is INFINITE. Lastly on very simple thing - For any thing on the Earth or Universe, there has to be some Creator, there has to be some to regulate/manage properly and finally some to destroy. GOD has been defined as Generator, Operator and Destroyer. Probably, the creation of the word (on which the question comes), itself is the Evidence of God.

AS TO OTHER WISDOM HOW ABOUT --SCIENCE



*** g91 11/22 p. 5 The Bible Fought Disease Before Science Did ***

“A Very Accurate Scientific Book”

Hippocrates was a Greek physician of the fifth and fourth centuries B.C.E. who has become known as “the father of medicine,” but much that the Bible says about diseases was written by Moses, about a thousand years before then. Yet, significantly, The AMA News published a letter from a doctor that said: “The best informed medical researchers now doing the best work are arriving at the conclusion that the Bible is a very accurate scientific book. . . . The facts of life, diagnosis, treatment, and preventive medicine as given in the Bible are far more advanced and reliable than the theories of Hippocrates, many still unproven, and some found to be grossly inaccurate.”



Dr. A. Rendle Short in his book The Bible and Modern Medicine, after pointing out that sanitary laws among the nations surrounding ancient Israel were very elementary if they existed at all, said: “It is the more surprising therefore that in a book like the Bible, alleged to be unscientific, there should be a sanitary code at all, and equally surprising that a nation just escaped from slavery, frequently overrun by enemies and carried away into captivity from time to time, should have on its statute books so wise and reasonable a code of rules of health.”

Hinduism predates Judaism by thousands of years, and right from the first scripture, they were going on about soma, which was thought to contain magic mushrooms, maybe some ephadrine root, alcohol, pretty much whatever they could find, and then they'd have these hallucinations, and because they called the universe God, even their hallucinations were just the many different faces of the one God, which they called gods as well, but that's a bit delusional isn't it, because that means we're all gods, so how is the word God anything special? That's where Buddha kind of made the most sense out of it. Buddha is a God in Hinduism, but not in Buddhism, because worshiping gods is kind of dumb. Everything is everything.

OK. Perhaps a better understanding of the Bible in a more scientific and critical way would be helpful in understanding how it came about. There was a cause to all of this. But we don't know precisely every detail but we do realize that it was caused. Some people would have me write it with a capital C. And then the whole thing falls into argument again. What does that mean? That we should worship a Cause? Or would it just be OK now to keep it simple and call it a cause without levitating it into transcendental abstractions.

The bible can't be considered evidence for god either. It's like saying that the Lord Of The Rings books are evidence for Gandalf.

The Bible nor any other book are evidence of anything. They were written by men knowing their own 'usually modified' history/cultures but containing nothing about the existence or non existence of god.

Concrete evidence, that's what you are seeking, is very unlikely to come by even through science.

For one thing, god is not a man with a white beard, and by the look of it not a particularly sympathetic one. So start from there, and ready yourself to go nowhere else.

The absolute best physical scientific evidences in my opinion for the existence of God for the agnostic or truth seeker is firstly the archeological remains of Sodom and Gomorrah on the Dead sea plain. These ruins have been completely incinerated to the point where they can no longer burn, yet they still stand to this day in the form of hardened ash, billions of sulfur balls riddle the landscape. Secondly, the archeological site of the Red sea crossing at the Gulf of Aqaba in Nueva Egypt reveals chariot wheels, horse hooves and human skeletons strewn across the sea floor, as well as an underwater land bridge. Thirdly, the archeological remains of Jebel el lawz better known as Mt. Sinai in Arabia. Take some time to check it out. There's much more to say but not enough room to list it all here. Hope this helps.

All of our reality is evidence for God.



The way the DNA functions in the cell is. It needs a translation matrix which is encoded in DNA to be read; without it is just compressed text without any usefulness to the cell. Here we have both the chicken and the egg, and both needed to be present from beginning to be worth anything to the cell. We have the cellular parts, machinery.



We have the extremely fine tuned universe which clearly has scientists state their dislike of wanting it to have anything with an intelligent designer to do. Thus, you guys DON'T LIKE God to exists, and you put blinders on to keep avoiding the issues. It will be the death of you.



We have events that atheists religiously avoid, such as these unexplainable things (if we go by your materialistic viewpoint - that is):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLMYMi0N8YA



Many such things have been captured by modern security cameras; but somehow, atheists succeed in ignoring all that is against their paradigm. What a joke!

------------

Norse Gods:

What is somewhat interesting is what people use as an excuse, and it clearly is not. The Bible tells us that within the first 500 years (350?) after the flood, people were mostly living in one area, all together, all using the same language. That at this time there were 70 large family groups (I think). Then at Babel God confused mankind's languages and they spread out according to family across the globe.



Is it no wonder then that many of our 'myths' are nearly identical! It simply backs up scripture all the time.

Norse beliefs speak of Ragnarok, of the great serpent, of Odin's all seeing eye. It speaks of three 'dimensions' (Asgard, Midgard, Helheim). It speaks of a fight at Ragnarok.

These are nearly exact parallels with the things the Bible mentions but with different names. Of the sons of Odin, and others, of Loki who clearly is the Bible's Satan.



Obviously, they have the same origin, though, time has changed names, and details.



If you cannot see the similarities you must be blind. The Chinese too can be seen to verify the Bible in even more exacting detail, and of no volition of the Chinese at all. (https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/chinese/bible.shtml)



Thus, we have empirical evidence for the Bible across the board. Atheists like to take this and state, 'look how the Bible has plagiarized from so and so place.' Instead, it is verification of our common time together after the flood, of a time when a branching out, a dilution of truth took place, a time of forgetting exactly what was, but which can still be seen in the 'myths.'

You mean evidence other than the smoking gun in the killer's hand pointing at the victim and a confession?



The Bible? How 'bout thousands of eye witnesses, a text written over 1500 years by different men yet with a common theme? The history of Western Civilization, the laws of physics, chemistry, biology, life, love, the universe and humans? What exactly do you need? Do you want a personal appearance? Oops, that's been done.

You believe that all the people who wrote the different parts of the Bible, covering from 1393 BCE to 70 CE, were all delusional? I take it that you know nothing about the Bible, who wrote it, or when it was collated.

Once more, just come up with an explanation of how a universe happens to exist without a God as creator. Do you believe that things appear from nothing and for no reason or is science wrong, and that the universe is eternal, without beginning or end?

And then wonder just who is delusional.

The Jews. And there is no "apart from the Bible." The Bible is the TRUTH and the Word of God. The prophets of God have never, never been found wrong. My friend, without the Holy Spirit dwelling in you after salvation, you cannot discern the words of God in the Holy Bible. It is the Holy Spirit that teaches us all things concerning Christ Jesus.



You do not have enough education to understand the Holy Bible without the Holy Spirit.



Have you ever considered the Norse gods to be the offspring of the union of human woman and fallen men angels? The Bible calls these men giants and men of renown such as Thor and Hercules. Fallen angels and their offspring have great strength, but because the fallen angels polluted the bloodline of mankind, God destroyed the first world with water to rid Himself of them. This is called The Great Flood of Noah.

It is only the Atheists that refuse to look and believe that!

Look at history! Back in the 1930s it was the Atheists that had challenged Believers of GOD to Court and were accepted... In the Supreme Court the Atheists LOST! LOST because they did not have even one piece of Proof! Had not even thought that they would need proofs; claimed their bragging was all needed. They LOST!

Even back then there was Tons of proofs confirming the Bible! Including Noah's Ark near the top of of a mountain in Turkey! Photos taken of it since the camera was invented to take photos! 150 years now!

After they Atheists lost they paid to get anything they could to look-like their "theory's"; not thinking that science would advance! Science has greatly advanced! The order went out for Every single item that the Atheists had ever claimed to be tested! All these tests were finished in 2007 and it was discovered they were All FAKES! Take the Atheists "Ape to caveman Theory". The Apes did have their own fossils, yet none tested to be more than 6,000 years old! Same as the Bible states! Each of the other so posit animals to the caveman were discovered to be lots of fossils and BONEs from lots of other already known of animals to make-up each one! Not a single fossil or Bone fit the Atheists fictional animals! YES BONEs! Most of what the Atheists had claimed to be "millions of years old" were only New BONEs, dried blood still in most! Nothing of the fossils tested to be more than 6,000 years old!

Atheism is a religion with zero truths and zero Proofs!

Thew Bible now has a least three different places/records that have been found for every line of history in the Bible! The better known parts of the Bible, the more records found! "Adam & Eve" also "Noah's Ark" records have been found in over 250 places for each! Plus there are all the places in the Bible that are Still Here Today! Including Noah's Ark!

How come people that Do Believe in GOD have lives filled with LOVE? Yet Atheists can only feel LUSTs for just what each one wants for him/herself? How come the vast majority of suicides are Atheists? Because they cannot feel any LOVE or real meanings in the lives!

There is no evidence to support the existence of gods as they are described in most religions. They are simply imaginary characters invented for fictional mythologies.



A lot of people will say that it isn't possible to produce evidence for gods, since they are beyond the physical realm and can't be detected, measured, or observed. Which gives them PRECISELY the same characteristics as that which can be said to be nonexistent.



When you defend their existence through "spiritual" knowing, you've abandoned logic and reason for pretense. At which point, there is no way to validate the claim other than anecdotal personal experience.

How do we know the Bible was not written by people who were mentally ill, or drugged out. 1) the Bible was written by at least 40 different men over 4000 years, more or less. 2) Theme of Bible is consistent through out Bible From Genesis to Revelation. 3) Proof that validates Bible, people, places, events, and dates, is constantly being found. 4) there is more proof for the Bible than there is for Homer or Aristotle. and finally anyone who has been around mentally ill people not on meds know that they are not able to hold their thoughts and be consistent with time or events especially over time, or from one day to the next. They have trouble concentrating and focusing on one thing and the same is true for some one on drugs that affect the brain their ability to focus and concentrate is compromised. Now having written this I know you will more that likely not believe this but I don't write it for you but for those who really want the true and this will resonate with them and God will open their eyes to see the truth. God Bless

I was raised Catholic. As a child, it was easy for me to believe in God... And the Easter bunny, and Santa. As a teenager, my family didn't go to church anymore and I was in a very liberal private school.

I met someone two years ago, who was just like me and when I told my friend about her I followed that statement with " the only downside to her is that she REALLY believes in God. This made me curious.



I started to read the bible. And only on nights where I read the bible, I would literally see someone standing in front of anywhere where the light was left on, like the bathroom or even the tv. There was no face, only a shadow. My daughter was with me one time and she looked up and said mommy! Who is that!! I told her I don't know, but God will take him away. The shadow left immediately and my daughter said "thank you God."

So I know I'm not seeing things. I have never seen things before it, but one night I had a terrifying experience, where God and believing in Him literally saved me and my soul. That is why I believe in God.

I began to go to a nondenominational church, where I came to meet some other folks who were brought there by these weird experiences that left them no choice but to be live in God.

If you had ever told me that after 30 years on this earth I would start believing in God wholeheartedly and actually telling people this insane story, I would have said you must be on drugs, lots of them. I would have thought Anyone who would have told me what I felt comfortable enough to tell some people, was crazy. I know now that is not all true. Granted there are seriously some nut jobs out there, but not all of the crazy stories about people experiencing God should be dismissed. Not all of them.



Start reading the bible, ( you don't have to read it in order, some parts are hard to get through), and see what happens. If you are meant to be with God, He will show you. If not, keep asking questions. Knowledge never hurt anybody.
truth
2016-08-16 21:12:15 UTC
yes...I'll mention five although there is so much more...



1-GENETICS...The molecular information of genes instructs cells in how to function and reproduce. Containing the 3-billion-letter code inside our cells (of four recurring letters, or chemicals actually, the names of which start with these letters), it's a virtual library of instruction manuals for assembling and operating all the cells of the body.



A few years ago, one of the world's most famous atheists, Professor Anthony Flew, came to the conclusion that God exists based on DNA evidence.

... there is no logical explanation as to how this incredibly extensive, exquisite code inside the cell could exist without a supremely intelligent Being having designed it. Microsoft founder Bill Gates noted, “DNA is like a software program, only much more complex than anything we've ever devised” ( The Road Ahead , 1996, p. 228).



It is absurd to think that nobody designed such a complex code—that it is simply a result of time, chance and mutation.



2- ORIGIN... If things have an origin, they first needed an originator . The greatest question in philosophy is: Why does something exist instead of nothing ? Philosophers don't really have an adequate answer. But there is a principle in nature that points to the answer—everything with a beginning has a cause , and there are no known exceptions to this rule. Physics and astronomy have established that it had a beginning. For instance, it can be shown that the universe is presently expanding outward from an initial point. So if everything with a beginning has a cause, and if the universe has a beginning, then it must also have a cause that created it—the First Cause.



Moreover, everything that is caused to exist is brought about by something superior to itself. Therefore, something greater than the universe must have brought it into existence. This is a strong proof that a Creator exists and who has to be greater than time and space to have created time and space and therefore does not have to have a beginning or cause in the first place.



3- DESIGN-Everything that has a specific and complex design has a designer . For instance, a building is designed by an architect. No amount of time, chance and unthinking natural processes can produce a building. In a similar way, we see the exquisite designs of things around us.

Key illustration: the earth. The fact that so many of the planet's features had to be just right for complex life to exist indicates that a designer was at work. The combination and interworking of such features are far too complex for them to be the product of mere chance.



For instance, for the earth to have life, it had to be just the right size—8,000 miles in diameter. If it were 9,500 miles in diameter, scientists have concluded it would double the weight of the air. Then there would be so much oxygen turning into water that it would cover the entire earth. None of the continents would have appeared, so there would be no land-based life—including us.



The earth is just the right distance from the sun—93 million miles. If it were just 5 percent farther out from the sun, the earth would be too cold and mostly covered with ice. But if it were just a bit closer to the sun, it would be unbearably hot and the polar ice caps would melt, flooding the coasts.



The earth also needs the right rotational speed. If it were just a little faster, the earth would not be warmed enough, freezing much of the surface. But if it were slower, the heat would be oppressive.



It also needs just the right atmosphere—78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen, the precise amounts to sustain complex life. The earth also has the correct tilt—23.5 degrees—allowing us to have the four seasons and twice as much arable soil as a different tilt angle would provide.



Even the moon is precisely the right size and distance from the earth for the tides to move the oceans around, keeping them clean and aerated. (To find more examples, read the book The Privileged Planet by Guillermo Gonzalez and Jay Richards, 2004.)



4-Laws-Where did the laws of the universe come from? They're not matter or energy, but they govern how both operate. There is no intrinsic reason for the laws of nature to exist. In fact, these laws had to be created and in place when matter and energy appeared, or there would be total chaos. The laws of the universe require that a lawgiver calibrated them and set them into effect.



Key illustration: gravity. Without this force that causes mass to attract other objects, life could not exist. And the intensity of all the forces must be in precise ratios to one another.



The famous physicist Stephen Hawking stated: “The universe and the laws of physics seem to have been specifically designed for us. If any of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it could not exist: Either atoms would not be stable, or they wouldn't combine into molecules, or the stars wouldn't form the heavier elements, or the universe would collapse before life could develop, and so on” ( Austin American-Statesman , October 19, 1997).



5-Life- The law of biogenesis as taught in biology class states that only life can produce life.



You've probably heard the famous question: Which came first, the chicken or the egg? It's a real dilemma for an evolutionist to answer. An egg comes from a chicken, yet the chicken comes from an egg. How can there be one without the other?



To complicate matters even more, the chicken has to come from a fertilized egg that has the mixture of two different genetic strains from both its parents. So the problem of the origin of life and initial reproduction is still a mystery that evolutionary science cannot adequately answer.



Yet for someone who believes in special creation by a Creator, there is no dilemma here. First God made the male and female chickens, which produced the first fertilized egg—and the rest is history.



AND ONE MORE FOR EXTRA MEASURE...

Symbiosis; When one living thing needs another different living thing to survive, it's called a symbiotic relationship.



A good example of this is the relationship between bees and flowers. The bees need the nectar from some types of flowers to feed, while these flowers need bees to pollinate them. Both depend on the other to exist and survive. The question for evolutionists is: How did these plants exist without the bees, and how did the bees exist without these plants?



Again, atheistic scientists are stumped. Theistic evolutionists are perplexed as well. Yet if you believe in a Creator who specially created the various forms of life on earth, the answer is simple— both were created at about the same time.

There is plenty of evidence for God besides the bible



1) Of the 7 billion people on earth over 5 billion are believers!

2) Physical evidence of Noah's Ark and the great flood.

3) Creation is proof of God!

4) Prayers that get answered for believers every day is evidence for God.

5) Some of us are lucky to have a personal relationship with God.

6) Many nations were built on the principles given to us from God.

7) American currency says, "In God We Trust," so god must be real.

8) Courts of law make people swear in God's name so God must be real.

9) Even you know God is real, but rebel against His authority

10) Sin is real so God must be real.



I can go on, but you have closed your heart to God which is also proof that God is real.

Look at nature.

Cicadas - insects that resemble locusts. Millions of periodical cicadas appear suddenly in the spring for just a few weeks. During their short time in the sun, they shed their juvenile skin, sing deafingky, fly, reproduce, and then die. Strangely the next generation appears either 13 or 17 years later, depending on the species. According to an article in Nature magazine, the complex life cycle of these cicadas "has confounded scientists for centuries.... even now entomologists are trying to understand how the insects peculiar life cycles evolved" It is an unprecedented mystery in the animal kingdom.

What do you think? Could the periodic cicada's timing be the product of evolution, or was it

designed?

If you read the Bible you would understand how foolish your question is. God is something to experience not something to see physically thus hallucination is way out of the picture. That being said there cannot be proof of existence of an experience. You personally will hear His voice and see His light within yourself and that will be the proof. Those guided by this light are the ones who do great things in the world so it matters not if you believe this God is real. He has done everything that is great through man. Soon you will understand when you grow up (: see you in Heaven my friend.

Direct personal observation counts as testimony not as evidence. Somewhere around 1-2% of the population have direct personal observation of deity - testimony. No one has ever managed to build an instrument that detects deity - no evidence.



Notice that testimony counts as evidence in court. If you're a lawyer not a scientist there is evidence.

There is no DEMONSTRABLE evidence for any god.



The fact that the bible is just a book does not constitute that it is evidence of the existence of a divine God outside the pages of its bindings. The gods of the old and new testament exist only as characters in literature and in the imaginations / delusions of man.

4-laws-where did the laws of the universe come from? they're not matter or energy, but they govern how both operate... there's no intrinsic reason for the laws of nature to exist... in fact, these laws had to be created and in place when matter and energy appeared, or there would be total chaos... the laws of the universe require that a lawgiver calibrated them and set them into effect...



key illustration: gravity... without this force that causes mass to attract other objects, life could not exist... and the intensity of all the forces must be in precise ratios to one another...



the famous physicist stephen hawking stated: “the universe and the laws of physics seem to have been specifically designed for us... if any of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it could not exist: either atoms would not be stable, or they wouldn't combine into molecules, or the stars wouldn't form the heavier elements, or the universe would collapse before life could develop, and so on” ( austin american-statesman , october 19, 1997)...



5-life- the law of biogenesis as taught in biology class states that only life can produce life...



you've probably heard the famous question: which came first, the chicken or the egg? it's a real dilemma for an evolutionist to answer... an egg comes from a chicken, yet the chicken comes from an egg... how can there be one without the other?



to complicate matters even more, the chicken has to come from a fertilized egg that has the mixture of two different genetic strains from both its parents... so the problem of the origin of life and initial reproduction is still a mystery that evolutionary science cannot adequately answer...



yet for someone who believes in special creation by a creator, there's no dilemma here... first god made the male and female chickens, which produced the first fertilized egg—and the rest is history...



and one more for extra measure.........

symbiosis; when one living thing needs another different living thing to survive, it's called a symbiotic relationship...



a good example of this is the relationship between bees and flowers... the bees need the nectar from some types of flowers to feed, while these flowers need bees to pollinate them... both depend on the other to exist and survive... the question for evolutionists is: how did these plants exist without the bees, and how did the bees exist without these plants?



again, atheistic scientists are stumped... theistic evolutionists are perplexed as well... yet if you believe in a creator who specially created the various forms of life on earth, the answer is simple— both were created at about the same time...

yeah.........i'll mention five although there's so much more.........



1-genetics.........the molecular information of genes instructs cells in how to function and reproduce... containing the 3-billion-letter code inside our cells (of four recurring letters, or chemicals actually, the names of which start with these letters), it's a virtual library of instruction manuals for assembling and operating all the cells of the body...



a few years ago, one of the world's most famous atheists, professor anthony flew, came to the conclusion that god exists based on dna evidence...

......... there's no logical explanation as to how this incredibly extensive, exquisite code inside the cell could exist without a supremely intelligent being having designed it... microsoft founder bill gates noted, “dna is like a software program, only much more complex than anything we've ever devised” ( the road ahead , 1996, p... 228)...



it is absurd to think that nobody designed such a complex code—that it is simply a result of time, chance and mutation...



2- origin......... if things have an origin, they first needed an originator ... the awesomeest question in philosophy is: well, why does something exist instead of nothing ? philosophers don't really have an adequate answer... but there's a principle in nature that points to the answer—everything with a beginning has a cause , and there are no known exceptions to this rule... physics and astronomy have established that it had a beginning... for instance, it can be shown that the universe is presently expanding outward from an initial point... so if everything with a beginning has a cause, and if the universe has a beginning, then it must also have a cause that created it—the first cause...



moreover, everything that is caused to exist is brought about by something superior to itself... therefore, something awesomeer than the universe must have brought it into existence... this is a strong proof that a creator exists and who has to be awesomeer than time and space to have created time and space and therefore does not have to have a beginning or cause in the first place...



3- design-everything that has a specific and complex design has a designer ... for instance, a building is designed by an architect... no amount of time, chance and unthinking natural processes can produce a building... in a similar way, we see the exquisite designs of things around us...

key illustration: the earth... the fact that so numerous of the planet's features had to be just right for complex life to exist indicates that a designer was at work... the combination and interworking of such features are far too complex for them to be the product of mere chance...



for instance, for the earth to have life, it had to be just the right size—8,000 miles in diameter... if it were 9,500 miles in diameter, scientists have concluded it would double the weight of the air... then there would be so much oxygen turning into water that it would cover the entire earth... none of the continents would have appeared, so there would be no land-based life—including us...



the earth is just the right distance from the sun—93 million miles... if it were just 5 percent farther out from the sun, the earth would be too cold and mostly covered with ice... but if it were just a bit closer to the sun, it would be unbearably hot and the polar ice caps would melt, flooding the coasts...



the earth also needs the right rotational speed... if it were just a little faster, the earth would not be warmed enough, freezing much of the surface... but if it were slower, the heat would be oppressive...



it also needs just the right atmosphere—78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen, the precise amounts to sustain complex life... the earth also has the correct tilt—23...5 degrees—allowing us to have the four seasons and twice as much arable soil as a different tilt angle would provide...



even the moon is precisely the right size and distance from the earth for the tides to move the oceans around, keeping them clean and aerated... (to find more examples, read the book the privileged planet by guillermo gonzalez and jay richards, 2004...)



4-laws-where did the laws of the universe come from? they're not matter or energy, but they govern how both operate... there's no intrinsic reason for the laws of nature to exist... in fact, these laws had to be created and in place when matter and energy appeared, or there would be total chaos... the laws of the universe require that a lawgiver calibrated them and set them into effect...

It appears you are among those with the "cart before the horse"..

Faith is not derived from the Bible ~ The Bible shows the diverse

written record of many people's experiences with God, and people

who mostly did not know each other, separated by time & distance,

yet the events, the doctrine, the overall plan and purpose of God is

consistent ~ the single uniting factor? the Holy Spirit unifying truth.



Did you consider, before writing that RANT, that your limited scope

of experience is not the measure for the whole world's standard of

spiritual knowledge? .. You make assumptions, and build a false

premise based on your uninformed assumptions ~ so very foolish.



There is much evidence of God "apart from the Bible" - every true

believing Christian who has been drawn to God by a move of His

Spirit ~ as opposed to those who are talked into going to church

and "try it on" like shopping for socks ~ KNOW the difference.



The evidence of God's personal dealing in someone's new faith is

given to them in a way that is meaningful to that individual person.

You can't coerce anyone to "produce" evidence belonging to them

and God or His people aren't obliged to obey your terms.



The Bible records the experiences of various people with our God,

as well as providing doctrine and teaching - for correction of groups

of believers (so error can be recognised) - guidelines for the pattern

of assembly and worship - and encouragement for development of

compassion and good character.



Think of it like this :~

If a group of people enrol in a course at a university or college, and

they are learning things you don't know about, or don't understand

the details of it ... You don't go shouting at their door demanding to

have "evidence" of what they are being taught or what they're doing.

(at least I would hope you don't!) You can't decree that they are all

"deluded" because they know something that you don't. RIGHT?



If you can't go forcing yourself on people studying something that's

way over your head ~ why do you imagine it's okay to rave on in the

same way to Christian people?



I have experienced and witnessed evidence of the power of God, and

whether you accept that or not is your problem, not mine. The church

will continue, and our God will fulfill His plans and purposes in us. He

may even call you some day ~ you'll know it if He does.

Phlegon of Tralles that during the fourth year of the 202nd Olympiad (AD 32/33) "a great eclipse of the sun occurred at the sixth hour that excelled every other before it, turning the day into such darkness of night that the stars could be seen in heaven, and the earth moved in Bithynia, toppling many buildings in the city of Nicaea".[6]



Amos 8 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:



10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.



Mark 15:33 33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.



34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?



35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.



36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.



37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.



38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.



39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

At no point does the Holy Bible ever attempt to prove that there is a God. Right from the beginning it assumes it. It is up to you to decide to accept it or not. It is up to you to decide. The same with the works of the Apostles. You either accept the stories as true or you do not. There are no half measures

because I wrote some of the bible

and it was from God and

it was for us all and if you now

turn to the page you want to know the answer

to what ever you ask of the Lord

then it will be so if you read this.

The universe, galaxies, stars, quasars, pulsars, the correlation between the moon and the earth's tides, all variety of life on earth, the uniqueness of mankind....and I could go on.

Ask yourself - how did mankind "evolve" morals, integrity, knowledge of right and wrong??? Answer - he DIDN'T! God Almighty put that in us all to know.

Why are we here? How and why does everything exist? This is something the atheists can't answer. They'll say it's all one big coincidence, which is absolute foolishness. God tells us that He made mankind for His pleasure and His glory.



[Even] every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

Isaiah 43:7

God also made man to have a relationship with Him, which can only be done through His Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:16-18).

Let us say for the sake of argument, that I am following delusional men who believed in God.



Now, are you saying it is wrong to follow delusional people in their beliefs?



I have to wonder where do you get the idea that it is wrong to follow delusions and right to passionately pursue the truth?



We clearly live in a world where it is popular to follow the delusion so you can't say you got the idea from following the crowd or culture taught this to you?



Surely you have seen people in your life get ahead by lying, so where did you get the idea that truth is such a valuable commodity?



You see I believe that it is God, that has instilled in all of us an intrinsic value for what we call virtues.



It is the only reasonable explanation given that we live in a world that so lavishly exhibits vice.



Hope that helps.

"Apart from the bible, what evidence is there for god?"



Sorry to break this to you, but the Bible is not evidence for the Christian god or any other Christian claim. Not a single historical document from a credible/non-biased (i.e. non-Christian) source supports any Christian claim.

Zero.

I'm not saying there is no evidence.

That's the evidence. There's all sorts of evidence, but "zero" evidence is as good as any. God is invisible, for a reason. How is even nothing, nothing? Even nothing has proven relative to something.

God is real. See for yourself by answering the following questions:



Slowly answer one question before moving to the next.



Number 1: Are the Jews are real people. If you answer, "Yes", then move to question #2.



Number 2: Why the Jews are called "Jews". If you don't know, look to the Bible where the Jews are called Jews because they descended from the tribe of Judah.



Genesis 29:35 She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” So she named him Judah. Then she stopped having children. NIV



Look and see if there is any other answer. There isn't any acceptable answer for the truth is accepted by the world.



Number 3: Now that the Jews are real people and they are in the Bible, ask yourself why Jews don't take Jesus as Lord and Savior and why they don't believe Jesus is the Messiah.



If you don't know, the answer is that the Jews holy text, the Tanakh/Old Testament was written before the coming of Jesus. This helps provide proof that the whole Bible (Old Testament/New Testament) were not written at the same time.



Now if we know that the Old Testament and the New Testament were not written at the same time, then the prophecies and foreshadowings of the Old Testament could not have been made up. Rather, they were made in advance and fulfilled later on. The fulfilled prophecies and foreshadowings are THE ULTIMATE PROOF of GOD.



What are some prophecies and foreshadowings given by God in the Tanakh/Old Testament that have come to be fulfilled, he may ask.



Now let's look at the Tanakh/Old Testament foreshadowings/prophecies concerning Jesus.

1) Messiah was to be born in Bethlehem---Micah 5:2

2) the King/Messiah was to bring salvation was to ride into Jerusalem on an ***, upon a colt, the foal of an ***-----Zechariah 9:9

3) the price of Jesus' betrayal was told to be 30 pieces of silver, told who would end up with the money (the potter), and where the silver would be cast (the house of the Lord-----Zechariah 11:13

4) that the hands and feet would be pierced-----Psalm 22:16

5) that He would be born of a virgin---Isaiah 7:14

6) that He would be pierced for our transgressions---Isaiah 53:5

7) that He would die with wicked, be assigned a rich man's grave, though He had done no violence or said anything deceitful---Isaiah 53:9



One foreshadowing fulfilled by Jesus is the Passover Lamb.



The Passover lamb died on the 14th of Nisan. Its' blood was placed on the door frames of the Israelites homes to protect the Israelites from the angel of death and the plague of the first born males. Those that had faith that the blood of the lamb would save them (the Israelites) were protected from physical death. The Egyptians, who did not have faith in the blood, died. No bones were to be broken on the Passover lamb.



Jesus, the true Passover Lamb, died on the 14th of Nisan. Those who have faith in the blood of Jesus to save them will be spared of spiritual death. Those who do not believe will suffer spiritual death/eternal torment in the lake of fire. No bones were broken on Jesus.



One foreshadowing you may not have known of is the names of the first ten descendants/genealogy of Jesus.

Look at the genealogy from Adam to Noah.

God always rewards the diligent student. Let us examine this chapter more closely. In our Bible, we read the Hebrew names. What do these names mean in English?

The Composite List

Now let's put it all together:

Hebrew--English

Adam-----------Man

Seth-------------Appointed

Enosh-----------Mortal

Kenan------------Sorrow;

Mahalalel-----------The Blessed God

Jared-----------------Shall come down

Enoch-----------------Teaching

Methuselah-------------His death shall bring

Lamech-------------------The Despairing

Noah------------------------Rest, or comfort.

Let's put the message/foreshadowing together, now.

Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow; (but) the Blessed God shall come down teaching (that) His death shall bring (the) despairing rest.



There is the good news of Jesus in the genealogy from Adam to Noah.



So there is proof that Jesus is the Son of God from the Tanakh/Old Testament which was written hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus.



One fulfilled prophecy that was recently fulfilled was the Isaiah 9:10 prophecy that the best-selling book the Harbinger was about.

This prophecy was fulfilled by Tom Daschle and John Edwards after the 9/11 attack.



Go to you-tube and see the videos of the speeches.



You have things to ponder now.



The only reasonable response is that the Bible is God's gift to mankind to show us what God wants from us and how he expects us to act and what the future is.



God wants us to know that Jesus/Yeshua is the Son of God and is the Savior of the world.



No one can get eternal life/heavenly life without faith in Jesus and repentance of our sinful ways.



We are all sinners and unless we have faith in Jesus, his blood cannot pay the penalty for our sins. The result is an eternal existence without God and his blessings. It is pure torment.



Believe the truth. Jesus and the Bible are the truth.

2016-08-16 13:48:50 UTC
There is something rather than nothing (contingency argument), the universe had a beginning (cosmological argument), design is here (teleological argument), beauty is here (aesthetical argument), morality is here (moral argument), the widespread belief in deity is here (intuitional argument), etc.—what is their adequate preceding cause? Many people believe these point to God.



I would look up those arguments and watch some of the debates with Dr. William Lane Craig, Dr. John Lennox, and Dr. Stephen Meyer.

The best evidence for God, however, is seen in the transformed lives of many who have come to faith.

Personal first hand experience of the love and grace of Christ in the believers life and a changed life and heart for the better my friend. People who are impenitent, remorseless, unapologetic, unrepentant, hopefully not like yourself, and who think there is no such thing as sin, will probably find it difficult to receive any evidence of God themselves.

Read Ephesians chapter 2. Read Acts chapter 4. Believe in Jesus Christ and you shall have everlasting life! All is as written! Atheists run around denying the worldwide flood as foretold thousands of years ago before lies of evolution in 1800s! The "geologic column " admittedly does not exist and made up by lawyer who admitted wanted to attack Moses! Read 2 Peter 3. Atheists run around saying "love must not exist " exactly as written thousands of years ago. Read Deuteronomy ch. 28. Nations decline more and more the more atheistic they become. Since bible removed from schools suicide leading cause of death, disease skyrocketing, fires the size of cities in California, government openly corrupt with 5 % approval and so on!

" IT STATES A BEING conceived AS A PERFECT RULER OF THE UNIVERSE conceived OR A concept AKA AN idea OR notion FORMED IN ONES mind A PRODUCT OF HUMAN THOUGHT AND IMAGINATION



.. SO ITS NOT real its invented by man so we have evidence religion has been promoting an IDEA Notion a product of human thought for 3000 years running peoples lives improvising making wars and killing people and making money from it



and thy shall not MURDER why not thy shall not KILL no it has nothing to do with having a chicken dinner actually it was a LICENSE to kill fall you had to do it stamp it with the word or GOD IDEA



because the 613 laws of god says you can KILL disobedient children just have to acute your wife or a women of adultery and you can kill her its not MURDER the god idea said you can



and lets not forget the man picking up sticks or 3000 fellow HEBREWS that want to stay with their OLD religion NOPE not allowed if your not in my religion i declare you EVIL and can kill you



I can even kill fellow christian by hanging i just declare them WITCHES and hang them its NOT MURDER my book says i can and i can be a human accommodates trader slavery the book says that ok also

While belief in God is ultimately a matter of faith, Science and logic can prove the existence of God beyond a reasonable doubt.



====



++ First Cause ++



Newton's Third Law of Motion states "For every action there is equal and opposite reaction." Every action in the universe was caused by a prior equal and opposite reaction.



If we logically follow each and every action and reaction back to the beginning then logically there has to be a first action without a prior equal and opposite reaction. Modern astrophysicists call this event the Big Bang.



This first action was completely independent of outside forces. This action was the un-caused cause creating the universe, a trans-physical being most call God. This proof also fulfills the principle of Occam's Razor.



By the way, it was Georges Lemaître (1894–1966), a Belgian Catholic priest and professor of physics and astronomy, who proposed what became known as the Big Bang theory of the origin of the Universe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Lema%C3%AEtre



++ Fine Tuning of the Universe ++



A universe in which life has a chance to exist can only happen in where a couple of dozen universal constants coincide, including:

+ Boltzmann's Constant

+ Cosmic Proton/Photon Ratio

+ Cosmological Constant

+ Electromagnetic Fine-Structure Constant

+ Electron or Proton Unit Charge

+ Gravitational Attraction Constant

+ Gravitational Fine-Structure Constant

+ Hubble Constant

+ Maximum velocity

+ Minimum interval of space

+ Minimum Mass of the Universe

+ Minimum unit of time

+ Permittivity of Free Space

+ Planck's Constant

+ Rest Mass of an Electron

+ Rest Mass of a Proton

+ Strong Nuclear Force Coupling Constant

+ Total Visible Rest Mass

+ Weak Fine-Structure Constant

+ Weak Force Coupling Constant



A couple of percent difference in any one of these constants would make the universe completely uninhabitable. Roger Penrose, a peer of Hawking, calculated that the chance of a universe capable of supporting life as we know it as one part in 10 raised to the power of 10 raised to the power of 123 (this means this fine tuning was mathematically impossible to have happened all by itself).



This fine tuning of the universe, while not an absolute proof of God, can be used to help prove the existence of God beyond a reasonable doubt (which is my claim).

For credible scientific and factually reliable evidence for the existence of God see the Magi's God Wiki: "Why Believe in God?" http://magisgodwiki.org/index.php/Why_Believe_in_God%3F



I also suggest you read Robert Spitzer's book "New Proofs for the Existence of God: Contributions of Contemporary Physics and Philosophy"

Either God created us,or we evolved from bacteria that magically poofed up from nothingness..



This bacteria would have had ZERO food available to them to eat/absorb.🤔



Today's bacteria break down organic compounds with enzymes,then absorbs the nutrients to grow & survive.



Those 1st bacteria must have been MAGICAL TO SURVIVE WITHOUT FOOD,& EVOLVE INTO THE BILLIONS OF PLANT & ANIMAL SPECIES THE EARTH HAS EVER KNOWN‼️



They must have been non-stop EVOLVING MACHINES‼️



Yet,even today there are still totally un un-evolved bacteria.What is up with that?In fact there's no evidence ANYWHERE of macro evolution today,or in the fossil records;It's a big fat hoax,& LIE!



There are no species that are in different stages of evolution.

There are no half ape/half man creatures.

Animals,& people just reproduce after their own kind,as our creator God commanded us to do.



15% of people today have been scientifically proven to not possibly have a chance to have a common evolution ancestor as the other 85% of people.The difference is RH-,& RH+ blood.This is why blood tests used to be mandatory before getting married.These people are not sexually compatible;Fetuses would die if they had RH-,& a RH+ parents..So,this is proof that all people did not evolve from the original magical bacteria.



Darwin did not know this.Darwin thought human cells were worthless blobs of jelly under his crude,& ancient microscope.



Modern DNA scientists ALREADY KNOW that it is impossible for humans to have evolved from 1 cell organisms,& they laugh @ Darwin's theory behind closed doors.😀😋😊😃🤗😂😛😜



Top atheists ALSO KNOW THIS INFORMATION;Like Hawkins,& they are secretly working on a new creation theory.A creation theory that leaves God out of the equation;The theory,don't be surprised if you hear about it soon,this new atheist theory will say EXTRATERRESTRIAL ALIENS CREATED PEOPLE.👽👽👽

If God didn't exist, neither would you.

When you received God’s word, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but, just as it truthfully is, as the word of God.”



1 Thessalonians 2:13



“All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching.”



2 Timothy 3:16



“Prophecy was at no time brought by man’s will, but men spoke from God as they were moved by holy spirit.”



2 Peter 1:21

Including the bible, there is no evidence of god.

Unless books like Harry Potter also count as evidence for their characters.

There is no direct evidence to prove the existence of God; but we know that people are even prepared to resort to murder and violence to make their point about religion:-



(1) The troubles in N. Ireland.

(2) Muslim Jihad against Christian countries.

Who cares? Cosmology is only one of four functions of mythology and mythology is the original (and still most effective) psychotherapy. If you're hung up on reconciling the science of 2000ad with the science of 2000bc then you're completely missing the point

You....How do you know someone exists if they died centuries ago? They could've built something that can be seen up this very day. So by God's creation and onward we have evidence of his existence.

Unfortunately, evidence can be scoffed at. If there's evidence of God, it can be laughed at by atheists. If it is evidence for evolution, theists can laugh at it. Not all people arw believing "evidence" one way or another

Couldn t your authors have been delusional people as well.....So we re even....Lord, but I wouldn t want to be you if you re wrong...I don t have a problem being me if I m wrong...I hoped for the best and got at the very least, the same as you did..

Book: Advanced mathematics and mechanics applications using matlab...Our MATLAB solutions consume over three hundred pages (over twelve thousand lines). Although few books published recently present this much code, comparable FORTRAN versions would probably be signifcantly longer. In fact, the conciseness of MATLAB was a primary motivation for writing the book.

8 O Jehovah our Lord, how majestic your name is in all the earth,

You whose dignity is recounted above the heavens!

 2 Out of the mouth of children and sucklings you have founded strength,

On account of those showing hostility to you,

So as to make the enemy and the one taking his vengeance desist.

 3 When I see your heavens, the works of your fingers,

The moon and the stars that you have prepared,

 4 What is mortal man that you keep him in mind,

And the son of earthling man that you take care of him?

 5 You also proceeded to make him a little less than godlike ones,

And with glory and splendor you then crowned him.

 6 You make him dominate over the works of your hands;

Everything you have put under his feet:

 7 Small cattle and oxen, all of them,

And also the beasts of the open field,

 8 The birds of heaven and the fish of the sea,

Anything passing through the paths of the seas.

 9 O Jehovah our Lord, how majestic your name is in all the earth!

To the director upon Muth-lab′ben. A melody of David.

there is also the book of Mormon, which some people who are not even "Mormon" are calling very relevant to society. even before secret combinations are known. the BoM is proving that they exist, even from the 19th century! go figure. that should be considered proof all by itself.
