Can the existence of an omnipresent non physical being be proven?

People have their reasons for why they believe which is valid to them, not sure Gods existence needs proof, it is interwoven and intrinsic in peoples mindsets and experiences

I'm personally not convinced and am aware of the level of evidence it would take to convince me. Believing in something and submitting to it are two different things.

I think this is one of those questions that needs a clear definition of what a god actually is. Nature could be the god, as can science. Or both. Read any religious text and replace the word "god" with the word "nature" and it makes a lot more sense.

'I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, 'for proof denies faith, and without faith, I am nothing.' 'But, says Man, the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.' 'Oh dear,' says God, 'I hadn't thought of that,' and vanishes in a puff of logic.

I'm agnostic, I would need hard proof to truly beleive but I'll not rule the idea of a God out entirely. I think religion and the belief of a higher power plays an important role in the morality of a large percentage of the human race. Wether a God exists or not, there is power in belief

And I am fully with your shattered faith. Same situation, family member who did no one any harm, spent her life helping others, saw herself go hungry to feed less fortunate. Gone... People have belief, they have faith, they have reasons. I fully believe that if there is an almighty God who created an "ideal" world then the suffering that you see on every side of the globe wouldn't be happening.

No belief and no faith from me I'm afraid.

Agnosticism is the only true intellectual stance. We simply do not know. If you are a staunch believer or a staunch atheist you are a fundamentalist. If you quote the big bang ..something can't come from nothing you are invoking the god of the gaps philosophy. If we haven't an explanation God must have done it. The universe is calibrated in such a way that it does indicate intelligent design . Also the odds on us are being here are so prohibitive that it almost seems a miracle. I heard the analogy of an explosion in a junk yard and the result is a fully constructed jumbo jet. We are the result of a succession of fantastic events many catastrophic in nature that had they not occurred we wouldn't exist. I am anyi these and find the notion of resurrection and virgin births prophets riding to heaven on winged horses..ridiculous , But blind faith is an impediment to rational thought..doubt is a gift that tempers dogma and radicalisation

Quite often people who say they don't believe in God start changing their mind towards the end of their life. My aunt did and she was the least gullible person I know. I honestly don't see a problem with people needing an emotional crutch and finding it in a faith. Better than finding it in a bottle

About 99 percent of your body is made up of atoms of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. You also contain much smaller amounts of the other elements that are essential for life. This from a Google search.

Cannot believe we are just a mistake or an accident, I’ve read both sides of the argument inc Dawkins.

So I’m convinced in something after life but not totally convinced there’s a God.

When I was 5 I believed in Father christmas,The tooth fairy,The monster under the bed and God and few others that have slipt my mind! Not long after that age my parents never tried to influence my thoughts towards God or against God. It was at primary school were they tried to brain wash us every morning at assembly the headmaster would preach something and finish with a hym and a jolly sing song. Happy days though! Anyway one by one they became fantasy figures except God and the under the bed monster? I still firmly believe under the bed monster do exist!

Bible takes the creation of the earth at the beginning of time from gods hands.

Christian faith preach gods creation was the time when he sent his young man off on his travels to preach the word of faith... Somewhere around 2000 years ago.

NOW.... given that Greek history can be dated accurately back 4 and a half thousand years ago with Egyptian history running roughly around 3 and a half thousand years and this BEFORE the science gets involved to digging up bones of rather large lizards somewhere in the region of 64-65 MILLION years and fossils of aquatic oddments ranging from 750-350 MILLION years and then the estimated science of the lesser known "Big bang" that puts gods 6 day graft in at around 17.5 BILLION years.

Of course because God as conventionally understood was an ethnocentric construct, born from the magical and mythical thinking so inevitably it leads to ethnocentric tribal rivalries. Our beliefs are right, their beliefs are wrong and dangerous. We need to kill them. Then God become the lawmaker to control the masses and the churches evolved. But still the tribes wanted to impose their beliefs on others and oppression and warfare continued and witches got burnt. Then science became God as rationality dispelled the mythical notions. Not before a few scientists were killed or incarcerated for heresy. The enlightenment tried to kill of God with the scientific method and Dawkins is still at it..... then money became our God and capitalism its religion and its power ruled, turning us from subjects into consumers. We are still in the midst of this story of God, meanwhile the other stories are also playing out, while new stories emerge as we evolve with the planet being the Goddess and our humanity the God that have been abused by our rampant consumerism, hyperglobalisation, and kyriarchical society. Yet still that still small voice inside us whispers to us there is more........if we stop....and listen.....

The existence of some omnipotent creator is impossible to conclusively prove, and impossible to conclusively disprove... so barring any incontrovertible miracles, it's not something I pay much attention to.

Absolutely. What a fascinating accident of history, that a set of religious/ historical texts were joined to other religious/historical texts, altered so entirely by another society, and have had such profound impact reverberating through millennia.

The "no atheist in a foxhole" fallacy is just a cheesy cliché at this point.

It's interesting that most people would expect an atheist to pray to the Xtian god for example and not Allah, or Zeus.

Reply privately (closed, thread got too big)

1) define "God"

2) define "existence"

3) define "proof"

So much depends on one's ontological position. Before we even get into theological debates we need to have agreed terminology, language is lies as Adorno puts it.

From an Empirical perspective, we can make observations about our universe and ascribe causes for them going back a certain way. Of course, from a theological perspective it is part of divine nature to be un-observable, although that in itself does not amount to proof, in any case, faith is another matter - The fact that some people believe in God makes his/her existence a spiritual truth. There are many truths. And truths may co-exist and contradict each other.

From a more pragmatic perspective, regardless of faith, live as though there is a loving God - Love each other.

Nice reply again.

"I do believe he exists. No I can't prove it to anyone, that's why it's a faith. However I have had experiences when I was a practising Christian that might mean to some that I am a mad woman and ill never deny they happened or that God does exist, however I am not currently in God's good books and yes I know what that means when I die.

Each to their own, live and let live whatever they believe in. "

God is defined as

Sentient creator

Ergo if it exists and a God exists the God wanted it to exist

A God concept that matches reality will always have both sadistic and creator in its definition

You can't apply facts and history.

However, based on the Christian bible alone, God drowned everyone apart from Noah and family.

There are many other biblical stories of God killing his "subjects".

In comparison the devil is positively benign.

I'm saying I have not witnessed and data for me to form a conclusion it might do

I absolutely cannot prove A non defined concept either exists or does not

Give me a precice definition Il decide if it just does not seem remotely tangible and it has not convinced me or it has a part which I can about refute

I think the concept of God, creator, is beyond human comprehension, a level of existence and intelligence so above ours we would never be able to grasp it. You only have to look at the world and the complexity of the animals and plants in it to be in awe of whoever created it. Just the beauty of a simple flower, or a beautiful sunset, or a loving pet, would make you believe only God could create such perfection in a world where every thing has to have a answer.

I think we can appreciate the Who designed the Designer? Philosophical debate

As a god essentially is a being outside of the natural world, a god can neither be discovered nor invalidated by science alone

So, the natural progression of this debate is that a god’s existence must be, surely, philosophical; not quite abductive reasoning of course, sorry Mr Adams

Yet, one can debate that a beginning is an ending and an ending is a beginning, which one can see dotted through history and numerous cultures. Mr Adams may well have cut short his elegant ongoing hypothosis that as the poof of smoke began to dissipate, a god would dust himself/herself down and say maybe, "Right, now where was I?...."

I'm not a believer in any god. I understand that humans have had thousands of gods throughout our existence and I assume that whichever ones people believed in were just coincidental with the era that they lived. It was sods law that they just had the options of their era.

As human society increased in size the type of god typically became more all-seeing and all-knowing. I interpret this as convenient for the tribal leaders who suddenly could rest more easily knowing that people were too frightened to break rules that a leader had made. Convenient!

Religions have reflected the era of the day, probably because they were human inspired. They served those peoples needs at those times.

Just as with psychic phenomena, there's no evidence or actual known capabilities that allow things like this to exist or operate. There's much that we don't know but everything that we do doesn't support it, nor is there evidence for any of them, outside of what the human mind is capable of.

I dont think religions are to blame for wars.Men cause wars in the name of religion.

"Does god exist if so prove it

Same goes for the opposite side. Does he not exist and if no, prove it. Both pointless really and we won't know the answer to either question

You seriously expect me to argue a tea pot is not orbiting a star in the next galaxy?

It's always for the proposer of the concept to give validity to their idea

Or else the whole idea of rational discussion becomes a nonsense

Look I have been given over 200 differing concepts called God

If any one holds water the others do not

It's not for me to highlight why not a single one has enough data to convince me a truth may exist

I can KNOW ABSOLUTELY however that at very least 199 are completely human inventions

True, most are human inventions, but still begs an answer to a simple question. If you say he does not exist, the onus is on you to prove it with reasonable and accepted facts ir theories.

By the way, I'm not saying he does or doesn't exist. Just saying that both sides need to prove their argument

Ah that's quite an easy one

He is a human pro noun

It refers to a sex of a creature that procreates

A he has a number of attributes

Absolutely non of which

An eternal primary mover would ever have or need

A God can only ever be an it

Unless you define God as an evolved being

They can never be hod they are always called aliens

I have little doubt aliens exist somewhere in the cosmos

A creator with a sexual identity erm nah

Your last sentence - god transcends gender.

still doesn't answer my question. Why do YOU say that God is a sadistic killer. Proof? Links? Texts? Facts? History?

You can't apply facts and history.

However, based on the Christian bible alone, God drowned everyone apart from Noah and family.

There are many other biblical stories of God killing his "subjects".

In comparison the devil is positively benign.

If you want to learn,creed the bible and other religious texts.

God transcends good and evil as they are human constructs.

"No

It's a vehicle to make money and control the masses

The bible was written years after the supposed event

Ever heard of Chinese whispers?

Your poss thinking of the new testament.

"If you want god to exist then he does

All religions are good teachings so if a god works for you then that’s just fine

No not all religions are good teachings even believers know that they need to ignore many parts of their doctrines and concentrate on more humanist earthly morals

Agreed to some extent I’m no expert but my take is if you follow a religion and it’s good teaching your be fine but if an individual wants to interpret it for the wrong reason then that’s a different ball game

Nothing wrong in having a god at all regardless of what science will tell us religion and science can live side by side

To fill in the gaps of your declaration

You have made up with zero data an idea about a God concept

And thank you

My whole point was illustrating that a person who suggests a "he" God exists is likely wrong as IF a creator existed IT would not need gender

However your assertion that a God exists is of course only baseless opinion

My assertion that no God concept has convinced me its plausible is of course undeniable fact

It does not however assert I know or think a God does not exist

It says

Of all those imagined they are unconvincing to me

And on the idea a God may exist I have not tried to imagine one that does or can xxx

OK so this is going to be the shortest essay on this topic i've ever written.

"Why does evil happen?" - Because God created the universe so he determined ahead of time what counts as evil and good, so either they is no morality, or God's idea of 'goodness' is just the human idea of 'evil' i.e. murder, r*pe, pestilence, genocide, volcanoes, famine, plague etc.

"I feel something spiritual about life" - Great! has literaly nothing to do with a God existing. It's just a part of the universe you actually connect to in some way.

"I had this meaningful experience once" - Fantastic! This gives you meaning in life. Just don't tell other's that must be God because you need to believe to hang onto that meaning. As it's just that. A reason to hang onto a nice feeling.

"The universe had to come from somewhere"

The universe is everywhere so it either was always here, just in a different form, or it came from some other concept of existence. None of which God explains, because where or how did God come about? It just begs the question on the puzzle you're trying to solve.

"There are no atheists on the battlefield!"

Yes there are. They probably saved your arse whilst you were crying and praying to the void. Pull your head out your backside and grow a spine.

"I just feel there's some higher power"

Probably the most honest response anyone can give. You have some intuition about something more than just yourself, which is enviable because it means you care about others and their desires. Try to grow and explore that feeling in a rational manner and see where it leads you to.

"Something X in the universe can't be explained therefore God"

Saying God explains it without providing a mechanism as to how, doesn't explain anything. It's just a placeholder, and a god of the gaps argument. Come up with a reason WHY it's god not why something else doesn't explain it.

"prove god exists? Prove YOU exist!"

I think, therefore I am. This got solved by Descartes centuries ago. NEXT!

"It doesn't matter what we believe, we just all need to get along"

I whole heartedly agree with the second part, but there's a whole bunch of people excusing their murderous behaviour toward other humans in the name of God, and they write entire books to justify those evil acts in his name too!

"We can't prove god doesn't exist"

This is certainly true of some definitions of God, but not others. An omnipotent and omniscient god cannot exist because then he could know what he was going to do and then do otherwise, or create a rock even he couldn't lift. Both impossible scenarios.

"We need to have faith"

That's more of a George Michael thing than a Jesus thing, and you know it. Michael probably did more for your life with his music than that other guy.

"I hope God exists"

Really? If you've seen what he's done with the place. He has a LOT to answer for, so we're probably better off assuming he doesn't and fixing those problems ourselves.

"You need a mind to create the universe"

Maybe, but calling that mind God is a bit redundant when no-one can even define what kind of mind that would be... maybe a prime mover that is ultimately indistinguishable from a natural force? Well then what a 'mind' truly is, is irrelevent to the question. As it's just another natural law like Spinoza's god.

My philosophy lecturer would probably punch me in the gut for such a rushed reply, but i'll be damned if i'm writing all this out in full. You can look up endless YouTube videos on the topic to get a more in depth response.

- Hail Satan, may Cthulu end us all mercifully!

I think we will find its humanity and not the new testament that has mitigated the horrendous treatment towards women and children that the torah advocated

Jesus nowhere tells us that a menstruating woman is not un clean as the ot tells us

Nor does the new testament counter women as a commodity

Or does jesus condemn the justice of a lady who is rxped

If you want to learn,creed the bible and other religious texts.

Can you qoute any of the texts saying that God killed his subjects for no reason?

If we go by text, there were very strict laws punishable by death. Much like the death penalty for murderers in America (which by the way I think should still be the law anywhere in the world). The flood you could say that killed a lot of people? If you do quote that, then you clearly have not read Genesis 6 and any mone canonised related text. There was a very good reason for that. Not enough space here to explain, but you can message me if you're interested in all the boring stuff.

And no, I'm not some religious zealot, it was just part of a study I did and research into something called 'the genesis 6 experiment' which is a whole can of worms that devide even biblical scholars. All to do with 'fallen angels' and the mixed race created that was an abomination etc etc. A very interesting subject and to some people maybe tin foil hat territory
