Evidence of a Creator?

It's amazing that what seemed completely obvious to everyone thousands of years ago turns out to have no actual supporting evidence.

You sound very happy with your worldview and I'm happy for you. Let's not argue.

No, requiring a creator points to a lack of imagination.

Maybe two thousand years ago it was possible to say that the universe is exactly like a house, and be taken seriously. But now? I think it's absurd.

What's the question? All you have is statements that you claim point to a creator. I am a believer, but I know that bible quotes are not proof.

There is absolutely no proof any gods existence. Just because you don't know how the universe came anout doesn't mean some god did it.

The atheists have a fit over this question. If you subscribe to the Big Bang theory as the beginning of our universe, the question can be distilled down to this: Did everything spontaneously come from nothing? or did something cause it to happen?

So which is it? Which is the more plausible explanation? One of the limitations of the scientific method is there must be something to observe. We really don't know what the universe was like before the Big Bang. If the question becomes what caused that dense ball of mass to come into being, what is the most plausible answer?

Edit: Three TD's an no cogent response. Atheists do hate this question.

Orderly
Which universe do you live in
And who created god if all things need a creator and in what was it created

Orderly universe? Whatever gave you that idea? The universe is far from orderly, it is chaotic. In about 2 billion years, our neighbour, the Andromeda Galaxy is going to crash into our galaxy, the Milky Way. It might be spectacular but it is not orderly.

None of what you claim is evidence of a creator. It is evidence that the people that wrote the bible thought there was a creator, but thankfully modern science has advanced since the bronze age and we now know that of all the mysteries of the universe we have solved, including the true nature of the sun, stars, planets, etc. Not once has the ultimate answer required a supernatural explanation. The nonsense in the bible, form the flat, geocentric earth surrounded by a "firment" and water is all a fiction.

What does the author mean by god "constructed all things"? Things are constantly changing, so god certainly didn't construct everything as we currently see it. What did god construct, exactly?

-That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.- Christopher Hitchens

Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

"Does it mean, if you don’t understand something, and the community of physicists don’t understand it, that means God did it? Is that how you want to play this game? Because if it is, here’s a list of things in the past that the physicists at the time didn't understand [and now we do understand.] If that’s how you want to invoke your evidence for God, then God is an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance that’s getting smaller and smaller and smaller as time moves on - so just be ready for that to happen, if that’s how you want to come at the problem." Neil deGrasse Tyson

“The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease. It must be so. If there ever is a time of plenty, this very fact will automatically lead to an increase in the population until the natural state of starvation and misery is restored. In a universe of electrons and selfish genes, blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won't find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference." Richard Dawkins

“You see, the religious people — most of them — really think this planet is an experiment. That's what their beliefs come down to. Some god or other is always fixing and poking, messing around with tradesmen's wives, giving tablets on mountains, commanding you to mutilate your children, telling people what words they can say and what words they can't say, making people feel guilty about enjoying themselves, and like that. Why can't the gods leave well enough alone? All this intervention speaks of incompetence. If God didn't want Lot's wife to look back, why didn't he make her obedient, so she'd do what her husband told her? Or if he hadn't made Lot such a shithead, maybe she would've listened to him more. If God is omnipotent and omniscient, why didn't he start the universe out in the first place so it would come out the way he wants? Why's he constantly repairing and complaining? No, there's one thing the Bible makes clear: The biblical God is a sloppy manufacturer. He's not good at design, he's not good at execution. He'd be out of business if there was any competition.” ― Carl Sagan

-If the Universe needs a creator, why doesn't god?
If god doesn't need a creator, why does the Universe ?-

Checkmate, skippy.

A) The universe is not orderly. It's only orderly if you x out everything about the universe that is not orderly.. Ignoring everything that is not orderly doesn' make the universe orderly. It just makes you an idiot.

B) Even if the universe were orderly, which it isn't, that still wouldn't prove the existence of a super fairy with magical powers. Basic logic A =/= B if A is not B. Unless super fairy is an orderly universe the existence of an orderly universe doesn't prove the existence of super fairy.

C) Belief in Santa doesn't prove Santa exists and Belief in god doesn't prove god exists. (Geez are you really this stupid??)

D) Buybull prophecies are in fact non-specific. The so-called prophecies that supposedly came true only came true because Christers invented their religion with the prophecies in mind, manipulating their religious myths to fulfill the prophecies. Rolls eyes.

E) Prophecies are like pennies they're either heads or tails and probability sufficiently accounts for any so-called prophecies that may have been fulfilled above and beyond those fulfilled by Christer manipulation. In other words, fulfilled prophecies don't prove the existence of god. A=/= B if A is not B

F) Organic is not Inorganic. The fact that inorganic construction may or may not require a creator implies nothing at all about what is required for organic construction. Again A =/= B if A is not B

nope that is not evidence. sorry. to show proof of something you need to use stuff not created by them. thats the irony in all this.

you can't use the bible to prove there is a god. as the bible is a tool from god .. I think most humans mis read those messages.

adam and eve where not suppose to eat the apple but they did that opened pandor'as box and we are not suck in hell on earth full of people practicing one of the 7 deadly sins. if not more.

greed, Lust, vanity, lazines, etc have consumed most of humans. See humans are rather predictable and anyone who pays a mindfull eye can simplely predict the next course of action. (just read a history book huamns won't learn we are dumb)

predictions are not facts. the power of prsueasion can influence the people who want to be influence and those who seek a spiritual need are ones who are the easiest to influence.

hate to be real and I don't disagree with others thoughts it's just not for me. clearly i have my own thoughts.

to not fall victum of wants and not eat that apple we woudln't be here and thats how it was suppose to be. use the bible for proof if you want!
we were told not to eat the frobidden fruit!

To rephrase your question, "Is the perfection in the order of the universe and the prolific nature of precisely fulfilled Biblical prophecies evidence of the existence of God"? And the answer to that question is yes.

And, despite that even believers have caved into the false notion that the Bible is not its own proof of the existence of God, it certainly is so. Take, for example Hebrews 11:3, "By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible". In what way could the writer of Hebrews know that matter consists of elements that cannot be seen?

All historical accounts in the Bible are accurate. All of them. The vast majority of them have been corroborated by archaeological discoveries. And this has come to light only in the last one hundred years. Prior to that the account of the Hittites, King David and Solomon, and all of the Israelite kings were scoffed at due to lack of evidence. That is no longer the case. The account of Sodom and Gomorrah has been shown to be true by the discovery of burnt cinders of wood, melted rock, along with pellets of nearly pure sulfur which does not exist in nature.

There are about 2500 prophecies in the Bible which of its total text is 27% prophecy related. Of those 2500, approximately 2000 have been fulfilled. All fulfilled prophecies are fulfilled exactly as stated. And there are no prophecies that failed to be fulfilled. The remaining 500 are yet to be fulfilled in the "end times", soon to be upon us.

There are also the testimonies of millions, hundreds of millions, of believers. Many testify of miracles in their own lives, of how God has manifested Himself in their daily life as well as their total life. Those that reject God are on the outside looking in and thus fail to see what is otherwise plainly seen.

Some quotes in the Bible may not necessarily define proof, but that does not mean that the Bible does not itself contain proof of God's existence. If the content is 100% reliable in all aspects (archaeology and miraculously fulfilled prophecy), then its spiritual assertions are reliable and trustworthy. Consequently, because the aforementioned is true, therefore, the Bible's assertion that God exists and is the Creator is true by definition.

In scientific terms, Creationists claim evidence from the Bible with corroboration of the observed origin of matter, and it is consistent with our belief. Evolutionists cannot say the same, and are frequently inconsistent, like life from non-life, exactly the opposite of laws of the universe; nonsense. Like wishing on a star, wishing for aliens or some form of life out there, or that pesky missing link, when there should be millions/billions of evidences if true.

What we do observe from natural selection fits perfectly with Creation and does not point to common descent.

Either someone or something created, or nature created itself, which is it? The atheist/evolutionist relies on a form of spontaneous generation and the unguided development of life, a requirement of the unproven philosophy of naturalism.

God can design creatures because God is a person. Nature is a concept and cannot design anything. Nature cannot literally select. Nature did not create itself because it has no consciousness, will or intelligence - all three are needed to "create".

To say that science overwhelmingly proves evolution…
This is what is called a reification fallacy. Science is a methodology outlined by Francis Bacon—who accepted Genesis as history, by the way. Bacon was aware that the creation model is useful for discovery and collecting observations that can be repeated.

I keep bringing up evolution, not because it is the only alternative to Creation, but because naturalism and materialism are the man-made antidotes for a moral and mental condition from which God-deniers do not want to escape, and fighting creationism is a smokescreen for a war against the Creator.

The creation of woman cannot be explained by evolutionists. If Eve, the “mother of all living” (Genesis 3:20) evolved, who or what kind of thing could give birth to her, since the Bible clearly reveals that the first woman was not from the animal world (Genesis 2:21–23).

Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible explanations for the origin of living things. Organisms either appeared on the earth fully developed or they did not. If they did not, they must have developed from preexisting species by some process of modification. If they did appear in a fully developed state, they must indeed have been created by some omnipotent intelligence, for no natural process could possibly form inanimate molecules into an elephant or a redwood tree in one step (Futuyma 1983, p. 197).

Theistic evolutionists must conceive of the historical data of Genesis 1–3 as poetry, allegory, or myth, “rather than a literal scientific description of origins” (Collins 2007, p. 206).

The evidence is clear, Creation is the most rational conclusion and therefore a Creator. Evolution is a fairy tale for humanists and is wholly unsupported by empirical evidence or experience.

“The more we get to know about our universe, the more the hypothesis that there is a Creator gains in credibility as the best explanation of why we are here.”
—Dr. John Lennox, Professor of Mathematics, Oxford University

“From the perspective of the latest physical theories, Christianity is not a mere religion, but an experimentally testable science.”
—Professor of Mathematical Physics Frank Tipler.

Genesis 1-11 is the eyewitness account of the origin of life and time "In the beginning". How could anything else come before the beginning?

There is no evidence or indication of the Bible borrowing from an inferior text or any other literature.

The authors of the Bible based their accounts on eyewitness testimony. Eyewitness account is true until proven otherwise and ALWAYS wins over unfounded opinion.

With the evidence from eyewitness account of the Bible, objectively corroborated by several outside evidences, makes Creation and Noah's Flood solid facts in evidence.

In a court of law, the "story" is generally true when the evidence of the people and places is proven true, especially with several lines of outside evidence.

What would make anyone think an eyewitness account is NOT evidence?

The evidence outside the Bible of Noah and Moses in real places writing real literal history confirm that Noah is not a myth, that Moses is not a myth, two of the most literal people of the Bible. Noah wrote his own section of Genesis, as did his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, then compiled later into the Pentateuch by Moses. Noah's grandson, Cush (son of Ham), is named in the Sumerian King's List, as outside empirical evidence from the coveted Tablets found at Elba, further confirming the authenticity, accuracy and ubiquitous truth of the Bible.

What evidence do you have that Moses and Noah were not real people recording history in real time, literally?

Evidence in history and the Bible of Moses and Noah is irrefutable. Corroborating evidence confirms Genesis and therefore Creation, and thus, a necessary Creator.

Here are just a few evidences of a Young Earth, which confirms the biblical timeline, and thus the need for a Creator.

How many is that, 20 evidences in fact that what the Bible says is true, that it must be inspired by God to do that? Geez, you don't need much faith when you confirm something for yourself as true with facts in evidence times twenty.

THE WORLD ITSELF
THE BIBLE
AND MILLIONS OF BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS
I did not see a ques here.

Nope. The so-called orderly universe (it isn't at all orderly) is false. What order exists is there because of simple natural processes.

Evidence yes, proof no. Many years ago I bought a piece of land and I personally planted 80 trees on it. I did that on my own. The evidence exists today, the eighty trees are still standing. I can't however prove that I planted them. My wife cannot support me on that because we weren't together before I planted the trees. She believes I planted them because she believes I'm honest and wouldn't lie. Other folk however will say that they agree that the trees are there, as they are clearly visible, and they can count them, but they don't accept that I planted them there. That's the difference between evidence and proof. I can prove that I have eighty trees, but I can't prove that I planted them, but those that love me and trust me, believe me. So it is with God and the universe.

Take a breath!!! Then you tell me

Romans 1:20 says: For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world's creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable. The evidence is right in front of you just look around.

answers to prayer.
face to face
or spirit to spirit.
talking to God, and reasoning with Him, to the Lord or seeing an angle, even seeing a demon is proof of a God, but a lying demon isnt going to give the truth unto salvation. even God said he would send strong delusions, and not unto salvation, but unto the righteous and the faithful he gives visions and signs follow...

True, but paying attention is in the first place an act of WILL. Many on here will deny that BUT WHY DO they deny (an act of will ) rather than argue (an act of Reason),,,,Aha !!!

Yeah, right. Now read all the many debunkings of the teleological argument for the existence of God. Which of course you won't because you are so up your own behind that you don't like anything you disagree with.

The first person to produce a single tiny little piece of verifiable evidence for any god will become world famous and mega rich!

Academia states that in the absence of any sort of evidence of the existence of something it must be deemed not to exist until verifiable evidence is found - thus god is held not to exist pending some sort of verifiable evidence.

So come on genius!!!!!!!!!!

Sadly all posts like you do is show why christianity is seen as a collection of fantasies and false claims!

There is an invisible dude up there responsible for all this. Yeah, right!

You are free to make whatever assumptions you like, doesn't prove God or any other creator exists.

We are evidence. Look at a building and get yourself to believe it had no one create it. Get yourself to believe it evolved. Yes, you'd be lying to yourself willingly.
