If science proved that God existed, would u (atheists) believe in Him ? [Spirituality & Religion]

This is a very difficult thing to ask. Because there is so much out here in the world that is concrete. Yet they still deny the existence of Jesus and the Crucifixion, and of course God Almighty. But isn't it funny that they believe in the Egyptians, Aztec, Incas, dinosaurs, dragons, George Washington, Geronimo, Caesar, and of course the fact that we came from monkeys. Are they confused. ☺

Waves hello to all here... takes another long hit...

Ok... here is my two cents... For me religion is a lot like reading a fairy tale book... There are over 1000 different religions in the world TODAY. Which story is right???

And if you ask any one of the others, what will be there reply?

It is easier for me to believe, that the universe has order... and in that order we will find truth...

Okay, now we have 1001 religions... smiles... and don't forget to love your neighbor... hugs all!!!
Okay. I get to give my two cents, too. 😂 That was cute. And interesting, but consider this. Life continues to be one of the greatest miracles. It’s hard to deny God’s reality when you think about the process of birth – that two beings can come together and create life, a process that is complex from the moment of conception. While there are over seven billion people living in this world, no person has the same finger print. While identical twins share the same genetic components, they are unique individuals. It all came from a very unique designer, called Jesus.

Hi Grace,

I was was raised to be a good christian... we walked to church every sunday. I sat in the front row with my family... I was sure it was all true... Then I learned to read in school, and found out that there was a place called a library... This was before the internet... And OMG... My brain just explode!
@Evansville: Hey, Evansville! Good to see you here. 😀

I need a little more detail, here. Are you saying that you took man's word on things, over God's Word? And that's not me being sarcastic. I'm really trying to understand what you mean. [b]What[/b] changed your mind about God? Thank you.

@GraceFromEP: I began reading, other books from other religions... and i began to question how could they all be right?

Is actually really easy to deny it. I deny it!!! ... See, that was so easy. :)
On the topic of different religions:

It is the extreme [i]religions[/i] that is the problem. Religion is man-made philosophies. That's why they don't work. Salvation is not found in any religion. It is found in the person of Jesus Christ.

Even the great evangelist, Billy Graham, attests to Christians being called upon by the Lord, to spread the good news of the saving grace of Jesus, so all will know where their salvation comes from.

In religions, you have man creating his own God. That's idolatry.
In religion, you have man trying to [i]earn[/i] his salvation by "good works".
While Jesus tells us it is only by [i]grace[/i] through faith, that we're saved.
No other religions have a living God, that hears prayers and answers.
In addition, none of the other gods died on the cross for our sins. Jesus did.
In religions, there is rhetoric or rituals that have to be closely adhered to.
Other religions are about man trying to reach up to God.  Christianity is about God reaching down to man.

When you practice "religion", your relationship with God is degraded to a mathematical formula. Do this, then do this, don’t do that, then presto. . . you are right in the eyes of God.  This is totally missing the point. God doesn't want robots. That's why he gave us free will. He wants so much more for you. He wants to have a real, personal relationship with you. He wants to show his love to you and He wants you to love Him.
@Pherick: Yes it was, just as Doubting Thomas did the same, until he saw the nailprints in Jesus' hands and then proclaimed he is God. Jesus said not to lean to our own understanding. Humans, with their finite minds cannot understand an infinite God. We are not smarter, nor wiser than God. Jesus said to Thomas..."[i]You have seen Me and believe. Blessed are those who have not seen Me, yet believe."[/i] It's obvious you do not believe, given your words. No one has a problem with that. To each his/her own.

@GraceFromEP: True, believe what you like, just don't be surprised when us more scientific minded folks need proof of things. As was the entire point of this thread ..
@Evansville: That would make good common sense, except for one thing. Salvation is not found in any other than Jesus. Salvation is not found in [b]any[/b] religion. It is found in the person of Jesus Christ.

@GraceFromEP: Here is the problem with religion and debating. For anything you are saying to be true then we would have to accept the premise that the Christian god exists. Then you can believe everything you have said. However since there is no proof a god exists, let alone a Christian one, everything you say after that is just talk.

This is why secular/religious conversations don't really work.
@Pherick: I honestly think the problem with religion and debating, is that man with his finite mind, attempts to figure out an all-wise, superior intelligent, sinless, infinite God. Can't happen. We are not to lean to our own understanding, and until one is born of the spirit, it will never understand the things of the spirit. They will be foolishness to him that hears.

There is more than enough proof out there. People just don't want to see it, because that would mean they are responsible for their actions. How anyone could think about the process of not just having an eye, but the amazing ability of all the intricate parts that help it [b]see[/b] yet not see an incredible Creator and masterful Designer behind that, is beyond me. One would have to be truly blind to not see that. But when that is mentioned, we just skip that part, because we'll never admit that is true, so we focus on something else right away. I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one, but I like your questions. I have answers, but I won't force them on anyone. We can respect each other's beliefs, even if we haven't come to the same conclusion. Thanks for stating yours.
@Pherick: I meant to also say, while I mentioned religions, I was actually talking about salvation in the person of God, and not in religions.
@Pherick: I'm not surprised. I understand that. My point is, what makes people think they can, with their finite minds, figure out an infinite God? Now we're smarter and wiser than God? I don't think so.
