Are You A Believer In God?

Hello Chiang_Mai You have rightly mentioned that there is no shred of evidence of God' existence. If you look back, you will find that till 1919 there was no proof of existence of Proton in an atom. So my humble question is was there no proton in existence till it was discovered? Newton conceived atom indestructible - is it true? Until, science made considerable advance, it was true. However, of late with Quantum Physics, Newtonian view proved to wrong for atoms etc. And relating to God, thousands of images of God reflect a single concept that there exists a power or energy which is omnipotent - that works on four known forces of the universe. Such an idea, though coined as belief, is unlikely to be irrational. Yes, one may say that depicting a force or energy or power in traditionally known images of God is scientifically wrong, however the images are used to objectify that omnipowerful energy in a way so that common people can perceive it. Scientific equations of Einstein will not be understood masses. As you have said, existence of God in the minds of people since the dawn of human society, you know that science is still a toddler in this field of great mystery of nature. Science agrees but unable to understand 4-dimension, then how can it prove existence of supreme power?

Science at this point can neither prove or disprove the existence of your alleged great power but there is no evidence at this time that it exists. With no evidence to support its existence the default position must be to leave it out of our thinking.

Nothing is proven or disproven but there is an answer to everything. Where do we come from? Why do we have emotions? There is something, but it's not easy to explain. A higher power? Perhaps and perhaps not. I guess we will never know, at least not yet. Thank you both for your reply.

stowyk saved from what?

I recently started reading this book called Everything Happenes For A Reason. In it it tells you reasons behind why things happen. It's an enlighting book. I question a lot, and like I told everyone, I believe in something, I just don't know how to describe it.

There is a reason for everything. Emotions, people, different races and languages. Everything is created I do believe that much. Things are just not easy to understand. I gather they are what they are, but everything has an answer.

I'm not looking for proof, just perhaps a piece of inspiration and yes guidence. As long as your dad is in your heart, he will always be with you. It makes sense to me in that way. I just feel there has to be more to things than just this. Life is very mysterious, the universe is very mysterious. I question God because maybe in a way I feel there is more than just God. It's not easy to explain it.

I think there is more than God most certainly. Just look at the universe and look into ourselves. It is true, we can not find answers in our self by looking in a cold microscope but by being aware of our spirituality. Like our heart we can choose to ignore it, train it to be cold. I think asking questions is a good way to find out. Show me God, please show me is a very short petition but one that can bring an answer to the person that asks.

Thank you nita! I guess in a way you may be right, I mean I know SOMETHING is there, but at the same time I often wonder if it's my imagination. I've experienced things in my life that I cannot explain, and lately things people say have been things that everyone thinks at the same time. For example, my father, who I have not seen in 19 years asked me when I would be visiting. The next day my mother asked me over the phone when I'd be visiting my dad and then later that day my mother-in-law asked me the same thing. Now my dad does not talk to them so I had to wonder if something or somehow the message got across in another way. This is what made me wonder, and other things.
