Is God Really Real?

[TheNikster]

Some of you who are Christian are gonna say "Yes he is!" or something similar, but hear me out before you answer.

I am a Atheist. I have said why I am a Atheist in a previous myTake. I went to church a couple times. I gave the religion a chance. Not my thing. I believe in Science 100% I believe that the world will end in destruction (meteor hitting earth, Sun's death, etc.) I don't believe that the world will end in with Jesus coming back (or whatever.).

I don't think God is real, nor did God make me, I was developed in the womb of my mother. This world was made with rock and material pulled together by gravity. The whole universe was once a solar nebula and gravity made the universe how it is today.

I think there's some specific rules for you to follow, you follow and be a 'good boy/girl' you get to go to Heaven. Do the opposite and you go to Hell. I'm not really sure on that part.

I read an article on "Proof on how God is real" and it says Nature is one proof that God is real, but it's not really. Nature is proof that Earth is alive and breathing. I'm not saying I believe Earth is alive like us, but really it feels like it as Nature could be known as Earth itself.

'Miracles' are also something on the website. They say "A miracle is an event whose only adequate explanation is the extraordinary and direct intervention of God." which, really, miracles are just formed out of luck and/or is a random chance type of thing. You can see where I got this at: http://www.beliefnet.com/faiths/christianity/galleries/proof-that-god-is-real.aspx?

I really hope I did not offend you in anyway, this was my opinion on this. All my opinion. I don't know if God is really real or not. Thanks for reading! If you have questions, opinions, comments please, do ask/tell!

What a nice opinion you've got in here!

Yes, I know that everyone has their own rights to have and express their own opinions. I am a science student and I love science so much. But the thing is after I think about it again, science can't prove everything. The bigger thing we have, the bigger we'll doubt it. Just to make sure that nobody can hardly tell how big is this universe. Or just by looking at ourselves, atoms: protons, neutrons, electrons, don't you think that there are maybe smaller sizes than the Planck Length? Well, maybe we will say: "But, science is progressive, someday we will know everything". However, on the contrary, like what I said before the bigger we have the bigger we'll doubt. Human has barriers to knowledge, so we tend to doubt things. I am pretty much sure, even if we found any smaller size than the Planck Length, we still doubt whether there is a smaller size again or not. Even the scientists still doubt how big is the universe. When you ask the Google how big is the universe, they will answer: "We were able to measure that the Universe if it is curved, has a much larger radius of curvature than that of our observable Universe, which is about 46 billion light-years." Just see that clause, "has a much larger radius blah blah," 'larger radius', so then they still don't know precisely how big is the universe, right?

Again, science can not prove everything. Human has barriers, and there is a mysterious gap between what we've found-understood and the exact-pure truth. So then, it's where The Only God is, that mysterious part our minds can't absorb beyond our boundaries. Isn't it more relieving to admit the lack and depend on Him? Well, it doesn't mean that we're stuck by just depend on Him and doing nothing. We still should discover more and more things. But as what I said before, we will find bigger doubts later. However, from what my religion teaches me, the world is the proof of God (means: order to be smarter and discover more nature things, DNAs, molecules, cells, atoms, all work in very amazing orders), the stronger your faith can be. Maybe because of those doubts we have, and the bigger the doubts the more you realize His power of the world.

So that's my opinion. It's a long one I suppose even I think it's as long as your Take. LOL. xD

You don't have to believe what I said because faiths are in the eyes of the beholders. If you still confused whether God is real or not, ask yourself again: what do you want Him to be?

[MeutiaArianti]

P. S.: And what do you want Him to be after discovering things of nature, by heart, as a science lover: real or not.

"This world was made with rock and material pulled together by gravity. The whole universe was once a solar nebula and gravity made the universe how it is today."

And your brain and all intelligent life was made out of dust out somewhere in space.

You derseve a Nobel prize for your brilliant thinking skills.

[RolandCuthbert]

The thing about this whole science angle is that no matter what you do or what you claim, you have to have "faith". It is just that you choose to have faith in science. It is your choice. That's cool. But there is no scientific explanation for the origin of the universe. There are only theories. And the vast majority of those cannot be proven. The ones who that supposedly can are flailing in the wind. The LHC has not been able to find evidence of the supersymmetry that string theory claimed to exist.

The universe in all likelihood is infinite. That doesn't trouble a scientific mind like yours? That doesn't seem to lend itself open to speculation about the nature of our existence?

Think about this. If you start of in a spaceship going in any direction, sooner or later you will come across yourself again. That paradox doesn't trouble you? You don't begin to wonder about the nature of the universe if some of the basic scientific laws that we hold dear, are true?

Does it bother you that no matter far we go in terms of studying the smallest particles of in our world, we can only find smaller and smaller particles still?

Does the "measurement problem" bother you?

Does it bother you that the anti-gravity force that supposedly manifested shortly after the big bang had to be so finely tuned that the chance of getting it right is about 10^10^10^7. That's call the "fine tuning problem".

What about the inflation problem? If the universe truly began from a big bang, why is it so uniform? The "explosion" would have to be basically instantaneous. But we know from Einstein that causality has a speed. That is the speed of light. No information can travel faster than that speed.

I could go on and on.

Science has theories for how the universe began. And there is no way to prove or disprove these theories. So how is it your beliefs are better than anyone else's? How are scientific people more "logical" than religious folks?

[sawno]

I always have a large understanding for atheists, especially if its because of the reasons you specify. Because you can not find any possible evidence the logical answer is to say he doesn't exist and that reality only exists of that which we can measure. That logic seems very sound but the problem is that that theory assumes that you are at the peak of discovery and being able to measure things while we are far from figuring the universe or reality itself out.

The reason i believe so strongly is because i have seen a miracle happen. While i won't show you any evidence as i do not want to change your beliefs (I believe you should do that yourself if you desire to and else its fine for you to believe what you believe) ill give a brief description.

I was very open minded to the idea of spirit guides and angels existing, i was open minded to the idea of god existing infact at that point i had one prayer answered although at the time i believed it could have been a coincidence. So i asked openly, that if i had an angel guiding me she would make herself known trough a song i'd be searching for on a specific Youtube channel. The next day no song arrived, however there was a new channel which was a reference to the fact they exist. I clicked on it and the 4 newest uploads formed the answer to my question. A simple but working sentence referring not only to me but to the fact she exists. I thanked and asked for a name, the next day a new song was uploaded and her appeared in the description as the photograph was taken by someone with her first name and the last name meaning angel in my language.

So there is this event which :
1. Happened the day after i asked this very specific question with a channel who had daily uploads.
2. Out of all the possible songs picked these 4 in specifically this order and at specifically this time.
3. Uploaded a new song with a photo taken by the person with the same name as my angel with there last name meaning angel in my language.

If you calculate the likeliness of that happening by sheer luck you would end up at a very low number. And from that moment i really saw athiests in a different light, people so blinded by earthly logic that they fail to see the signs or simply won't get them because it doesn't fit the path they have chosen.

"Listen, Chuckles, even if there is a God, he is either dead—and that's the generous theory—Or he's up and kicking and doesn't give a rat's ass about any of us. I mean, look around you, man. The world is in the toilet. We are literally at the end of days here, and he's off somewhere drinking booze out of a coconut. All right?" - Dean Winchester, SuperNatural, Season 5

Even if there ever was a real god, what makes anyone think god cares what happens to this world, people, etc? There's plenty of suffering and misery to come around in this world, and so what makes people hope and believe in an "all caring" and an "all loving" god that is omnipotent when people and living things are continuously suffering and dying miserably on a regular daily basis? What makes anyone think that we actually have any real importance or value to a vastly powerful supreme being? What makes anybody think that they're actually gonna be "saved"? Why does everyone that believed seem to mainly only care about the afterlife? Care mainly about going into "heaven" or a "heaven"? Or believe all because they are afraid of a "hell"?

We could all be merely guinea pigs or lab rats used as "god's" experiments or experimenting with creating consciousness. And since no one can absolutely disprove this, who are to say with absolute certainty that we all aren't just entirely or merely expendable to such a vastly powerful supreme being?

Even if there was a real god, what makes someone that believe that a god must be and is absolutely all caring and all loving?

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.

Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.

Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?

Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"

And besides there are so many other deities and religions, temples, etc. No concrete evidence had ever even suggested they had ever existed and are real other than a fictional concept like any other mythologies created by the human mind.

Dean: See, this is why I can't get behind God.
Sam: What are you talking about?
Dean: If he doesn't exist, fine. Bad crap happens to good people. That's how it is. There's no rhyme or reason -- just random, horrible, evil -- I get it, okay. I can roll with that. But if he is out there, what's wrong with him? Where the hell is he while all these decent people are getting torn to shreds? How does he live with himself? You know, why doesn't he help? -SuperNatural, Season 4

[RasmusAiken]

I believe in a real God, creator of the universe. Yet I have 'difficulties' with scientific facts which produce doubt. I wouldn't call you an atheist (one who willfully rejects God's existence). Rather, you see the evidence weighed in the direction of unbelief.
Both the believer and the unbeliever share, each in his own way, doubt and belief if they do not hide from themselves and from the truth of their being. Neither can quite escape either doubt or belief; for the one, faith is present against doubt; for the other, through doubt and in the form of doubt.

[HamAndCheese]

Is God real? Well if he is, then by definition he'd have to exist outside of things like science, and to some extent logic and reason due to his omnipotent quality. You can't make something out of nothing? Well he's god, he's omnipotent so he can. Simply put, belief in god or lack of belief just boils down to a judgement call of, "what do I want to believe" and, "do I think there are things science can't explain." Me tiny human brain believes that science can explain everything, just not yet, therefor I personally believe that the existence of god is unlikely, but in theory totally possible.

[DJZest]

Science is the study of nature/whatever it is that you want to know more about. To make science and God mutually exclusive is ignorant of that fact and, hence, stupid. Don't be stupid; you have a brain (and a sould/mind).

If you would like to truly experience God, you need to give your life to Jesus by confessing your sins (accepting, humbly, that your standard is not good enough for God to accept you into his presense and heaven) and repenting, and then, to continually invest time into building a relationship with him. That means praying in your room with your door closed. I recommend you do that in the evening before going to bed. It can be short... but let Him know that you are serious about finding out what is true. (Because He exists and therefore He Himself "IS", in the most literal and universal sense of the word "be", truth.)

[BrittBratt2416]

Yes, but a person needs to have faith. No faith, then its going to seem like God isn't there cause you're not bothering to find Him. People who seek God, often find God. Plus crap just doesn't randomly happen, does a sandwich automatically poof on to your plate or do you or someone has to make first? Everything has a creator, cars, building, technology, it all has a creator and so does mankind.. we have a creator aka God.

[poeticpages]

I believe that God is real, and that he did make the earth and that he made us intelligent. But where my belief ends is when people say that God is a loving God. Sorry, but at no point in my life, has God given me lovely things. He has only taken away people that I love and care about. He has not once done anything for me. I have done everything for myself, and that is that.

[Anonymous]

No one can convince one another that God is real until someone questions their belief by themselves. This debate will last as long as mankind will last.

[Anonymous]

I agree, there is no God. There doesn't have to be a god or divine creature, because originally people believed in God to explain the world. Now that science can explain things, I don't see why. But, I totally support anyone who believes in God, or any god, because religion is a form of expression, and I think you should be free to express yourself. As long as you are not hateful! You can believe what you want, I accept all people.

[Anonymous]

Maybe, we can never truley know until where dead
so why must we believe in god or not when we should be enjoying life and not waste time in something that has a fifty percent chance or lower of existing

[Paris13]

God is the Real Deal. Our Father Who Art In Heaven. xx

[zagor]

If he is, his (using gender here just because it is traditional) reality is likely far beyond human understanding.

[Anonymous]

There has to be a God. There's no way there would be so much beauty and order if there was no God. DNA actually has information that was entered into us, someone has to write it..

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

"DNA actually has information that was entered into us, someone has to write it."

Not to mentions atoms fruits and vegetables, planets, sun, sea, 5 senses, 4 seasons, body organs etc.

I'm glad you brought up DNA code. DNA is so complex that it demands a brilliant mind behind it.

Imagine the very phone or computer you are using right now wrote it's own complex code into its system without intelligent life behind it's manufacturing? That's athiestism in a nutshell lol. As a matter of fact you have ignore the evidence to be a "athiest"

[Justin2000]

Well im kinda in the middle. I dont know if i believe in God 100% but there is no way we are here for no reason. Like if there is no god what made everything. Existence, conscience, etc. Someone had to make it. Luck cannot explain that

[art84]

God is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.

[UsernameMadness]

God is an abstract noun. He's not Jesus in a blue towel. And you'll never see him so it doesn't matter whether he exists or not.

[jacquesvol]

Prove your deity is real.

[Franitz]

If he was I'd punch him in the face.
