Faith , believe,?

Do people believe in God?

[postaldudePL123]

First and foremost, there exists a lack of empirical evidence supporting the existence of God. Throughout history, humanity has relied on evidence and observation to validate the existence of various phenomena. However, when it comes to the existence of God, there is no concrete evidence that withstands rigorous scientific scrutiny. The absence of empirical evidence raises doubts about the existence of a divine being.

Humanity has made remarkable strides in understanding the natural world through the scientific method, relying on evidence, observation, and experimentation to validate the existence of various phenomena. From subatomic particles to distant galaxies, science has provided explanations for countless natural phenomena.

However, when it comes to the existence of God, the same rigorous scientific scrutiny has yielded no concrete evidence. Despite millennia of human civilization, theological debates, and religious practices, no empirical evidence has been produced that definitively proves the existence of a divine being.

Throughout history, claims of supernatural occurrences or divine intervention have often been met with skepticism, as they lack the empirical evidence necessary to support their validity. While personal anecdotes and religious experiences may hold significance for individuals, they do not constitute verifiable evidence that withstands scientific scrutiny.

Furthermore, efforts to provide empirical evidence for the existence of God, such as the arguments from design or first cause, remain highly contentious and subject to criticism. These arguments rely on logical deductions and philosophical reasoning rather than empirical observations, leaving them open to interpretation and debate.

In the absence of empirical evidence, the existence of God remains a matter of faith rather than demonstrable fact. While faith can provide solace and meaning for believers, it does not satisfy the criteria of empirical evidence required by the scientific method. Thus, the lack of empirical evidence raises significant doubts about the existence of a divine being.

Nah. There's no evidence for a God other than people's word. When something doesn't make sense, those people say you need to have faith, which is like a con man telling you to trust him.

I was raised Catholic. But I went on to study the history of Judaism, the history of Christianity, world religions, mythology, ancient history, cultural anthropology, and some philosophy. I've looked into various Protestant religions and pagan beliefs.

Humans all over the world have believed in supernatural beings forever. It's their way of making sense of things that they don't understand. It's also their way of coping with tragedy and death.

So, no. I see no reason to believe in any of the thousands of deities that people have created. As far as I can see, most of those deities, including the Hebrew God of the Bible, are ass holes. Only the warped minds of men could invent such scary boogie men.

I have ethics. I know right from wrong. I don't need fairy tales to keep me on the right path.

I have my own spirituality. I believe that the universe and every creature is sacred. I have awe, reverence and gratitude for all creation.

People have said that all beings are the universe observing itself. So, in that sense, one could say that the universe is conscious. I like that idea.

But I don't think there is anything looking after humans. Nature doesn't play favorites. Does it care more for the fox or the hare; the falcon or the dove?

[Asker]

There is a lot of evidence that show there is a God. And that it’s something other than humans who created this world look at water we know the formula to water but we cannot create big bodies of fresh drinking water. When tried or if tried in big quantities it will explode … so to say you need evidence is crazy when the evidence is all around you. But I respect your opinion.

[Lliam]

It's true that humans know a tiny fraction of what exists and how things work.

I still don't know if that is evidence of a god, especially the God of the Bible.

My wife thinks that there must be an intellect that created everything and that may be responsible for the way things work. I respect that. It's possible. She wishes for a happy afterlife, too. So do I.
All I'm saying is, I have no idea.

But believing there is such an intellect is still something that humans imagine. If they can't explain something, they attribute it to a supernatural being. Such beings were invented millions of years ago to explain lightning, volcanoes, droughts, floods, comets, the sun and moon, and every other natural phenomenon.

I'm all about questioning. And wishing, hoping and imagining is totally cool. But I have a problem with con men telling me to believe them and have faith.

[NotTacocaT6969]

There are over 15,000 versions of “god” being worshipped today and everyone will say that theirs is the only correct answer.


Be more specific about which version of god you’re referring to in order to get more accurate responses.



Many of the people who said “yes” aren’t talking about the same god as you.

[Meropatrick]

I used to be an atheist now i believe in god. I noticed that us humans we need to believe in something and if u dont believe in god u will end up believing in something else Anyway. Id rather believe in god than believe that men in dresses are women. Like some people want us to believe. The more i see this craziness the more i think believing in god was much better.

[Asker]

When you come to find God and see what he says is reality and come to pass and knowing how loving he is you can’t help but to wanna praise him. And yes I agree people wanna believe silly things.

[ChiTown33]

Faith? I have more than I did 20 years. ago. It's easy to have faith when life is going well. It's not so easy when life is not going well.

Do I believe in God? Yes, but so does the devil. So I consider faith to be the more important question. I have enough faith to share my experiences and hope it helps others find thier relationship with God.

[strateguy632]

i do , openly, and most humans do... a billion for alla 2.5 billion for jesus a bilion more if combine hindu budha and eastern gods... and infinite smaller religions totaling over 7 billion, including geniuses steve hawkings einstein and specifically darwin who atheists absurdly love!

[82lynx]

I often feel alone in that, not to mention most other things. I don’t even get on with those of my own faith. Science, it’s all about fricken’ science. 😑 It eventually caught up with Darwin though; he didn’t check himself so by the end of his life he had wrecked himself and could no longer enjoy natural beauty.

If I believed there was nothing after this life I would be very tempted to kill myself.

[Asker]

Well this made me feel sad for you cause I would never want you to kill yourself , I wish you didn’t feel alone. And I agree science is science but true science aligns with Gods word.

[82lynx]

Thanks, but that’s a hypothetical situation. I wouldn’t give up my faith; without it I would have nothing, but the atheists seem to like it that way. I can’t talk to them for long as it drains me quickly. I gave up trying to run my own life years ago as it was driving me round the twist. I agree that science aligns with God’s word, it’s just that the atheists worship science as their god.

[Asker]

And I agree with you. ❤️

[AviatorTom]

I did when I was younger. Now, I'm not so sure.

[Asker]

What made you change your stance if you don’t mind me asking? Thank you for your reply

[AviatorTom]

I went to an all-boys Jesuit High School, The Jesuits taught me to challenge my beliefs... believe something because I want to believe, not because someone tells me to believe something. Kind of ironic that a Catholic priest would suggest not believing in God, isn't it?

[Asker]

Oh absolutely I understand have you tried now that you are grown to find God again.

[RetroReviews]

I do I'm a firm believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and that he is the only way to the father like he said he was.

[Berethor]

Totally, do you know it was proven by science that God exist? you can watch that video. :)

[jshm2]

Or course. Only a dullard believes there is "no God"

They talk shit about "evidence" but then provide nothing but conjecture and assertions for their position.

[JacobJordan]

Some do. I certainly don't. I also don't not believe in a God. I just require irrefutable proof. I have not seen that yet.

[genericname85]

no i don't believe in lies. i only believe in things that are evident and true.

[Asker]

There’s evidence that there is a God.

[genericname85]

i highly doubt it but i am willing to be convinced. show me the evidence.

[Asker]

Something as simple as water is evidence God is real why can’t we make fresh bodies of drinking water for us we have the formula and can’t we can only make a drop and if made more it explodes !

[Meropatrick]

Well u r german right? U guys believe in many things that are untrue and with no evidence. The most brainwashed nation on earth. U believe that merkel had ur country best interest in mind. While she ruined ur country. U believe that ur history is shameful which is not. The winner wrote ur history. Ur brainwashing process was so Sophisticated that you can't even tell.

[genericname85]

@Meropatrick thanks for judging me on behalf of the nation I happen to live in. That's not racist at all.

[genericname85]

How exactly is what you said evidence for God? @asker? Your sentence there didn't even make sense grammatically, so I'm not even sure what you were trying to argue.

[altaboy]

It can't be proven either way, so I think it is an irrelevant question.

[BCRanger10]

Yes, I very much do.

[HelpfulWoman]

not if they have sense.

[OfDeath]

Yes, some people do.

[sean1234]

Yes, but which one, God or god?

[Anonymous]

Yeah I believe in God

[DrPepper12]

No. Not at all. I believe in humanity.

[MrZameer]

Obviously.
I'm a proud Muslim.

[Asker]

How can you prove to someone that the Muslim religion is the true one. Let’s talk about it

[MrZameer]

If you want to discuss then please come in PMs

[Imsmurter1]

Yes! Praise the Lord!

[Iron_Man]
