I would love to believe there is something bigger than me, an all knowing being watching out for us. I have thoughts, and questions that make it hard for me to believe in any of it. Here are just a few things I need to know?
There is no scientific evidence indicating that God exists. We all know that. For example:
â?¢ God has never left any physical evidence of his existence on earth.
â?¢ None of Jesus' "miracles" left any physical evidence either.
â?¢ God has never spoken to modern man, for example by taking over all the television stations and broadcasting a rational message to everyone.
â?¢ The resurrected Jesus has never appeared to anyone.
â?¢ The Bible we have is provably incorrect and is obviously the work of primitive men rather than God.
â?¢ When we analyze prayer with statistics, we find no evidence that God is "answering prayers."
â?¢ Huge, amazing atrocities like the Holocaust and AIDS occur without any response from God.
â?¢ And so onâ?¦
Let's agree that there is no empirical evidence showing that God exists.
If you think about it as a rational person, this lack of evidence is startling. There is not one bit of empirical evidence indicating that today's "God", nor any other contemporary god, nor any god of the past, exists. In addition we know that:
1. If we had scientific proof of God's existence, we would talk about the "science of God" rather than "faith in God".
2. If we had scientific proof of God's existence, the study of God would be a scientific endeavor rather than a theological one.
3. If we had scientific proof of God's existence, all religious people would be aligning on the God that had been scientifically proven to exist. Instead there are thousands of gods and religions.
The reason for this lack of evidence is easy for any unbiased observer to see. The reason why there is no empirical evidence for God is because God is imaginary
