Well, I don’t agree. I believed I have proved back in april that God exists. I may have used too few words back then so let me try again:
I believe the first question must be: what is(!) God? Only after answering that can we ask: does God exist or not? Without defining what God is, the question “does God exist or not” is nonsense and debating this question without defining “God” will only lead to very high emotions and aggression as we have witnessed throughout history.
One things is obvious: most people seem to assume God is some kind of out-of-this-earth and all powerful entity. Typically in the form of an elderly white male with white hair and a white beard wearing long white clothes sitting on a white cloud looking down at us with a magic wand in hand.
Lets look at the facts however:
- all cultures seem to have a need for a religion at some point.
- independent cultures will have/develop different religions and Gods.
- all religious artifacts are manmade or found in nature.
- all Gods work is done by people.
- all cultures have a religion and most children born in such cultures that are religious grow up to believe in the religion and God of that culture.
- there is no evidence that God ever showed himself/herself.
Anyway: the conclusion must be and can only be, that any self-conscious culture (on earth, or any other planet) will get to a point where they encounter events that they can only and will only explain by attributing that to something they call “God”. They will need this at that point in their cultural development to make sense of things and their leaders will use this to successfully control society.
The conclusion will fear many people and for that reason will not, and cannot, be accepted by many people for a long time but the conclusion is very obvious nonetheless:
We humans are God ourselves (at least we can be if we want). Just as much as we are, or can be, the Devil by-the-way.
Fact is that any and all observed so-called miracles and other things attributed to God can be explained by having been done by humans.
So: we exist and therefore God exist. Q.E.D.
Be courageous and accept this, because only when everybody understands this to be the true nature of God, only then will there be true peace and happiness for all.
Sorry, I disagree.
