This article has a valid points and there are a number of people that agree with what is being said. The issue is that these are theories and it is so hard to prove. In this case there is more proof to support the theory, only because it is physical proof. The proof just needs to be interpenetrated buy the individual reading the evidence.
The title of this thread is the base. Scientific proof for the existence of God exists for examination when you combine these 4 things in detail: 1. The definitions of the word "God;" 2. Newton's 3rd Law - cause and effect/action and reaction - and the fact that there are really no proofs that outdate his 3rd Law; 3. The complexity of the universe; 4. Entropy. When you put these things together, you see that God exists, and is a far greater "thinker" than we are. The theories about Who and What God is, are the things that we have a difficult time with. The theories are the things that form the religions. Our job is to find the best of the religions, and the reasons why it is the best. This is critical for us. Why is it critical? Because there are many religions, both dead ones and ones that are still alive, that suggest that Hell is real, and that it is very painful if you go there, and that it lasts forever, but that there is a way out if you can find the way. The trick is finding the correct religion, or at least the correct way. Perhaps we should throw out a request to God, personally I mean, and maybe He just might infiltrate our lives with the correct way. After all, science shows that He is great enough to be able to do this.  |

If you want to seriously research the Bible, then I am suggesting you to visit: www.ancient-code.com, read or watch some of the series of Ancient Aliens. Believe me, they will blow your mind!  Interesting how the history of mankind has been reduced to so few books written by the victors of society, and yet so many drink the kool aid eh? Let's look at Pumu Punku, Machu Picchu, or the Pyramids and their Technology that vastly dwarfs mankind's self proclaimed "advancement" of the 21st century. Glad to see that you understand it too my friend, most of the true history of mankind has been lost, and yet man still believes they beat each other with clubs in caves as they advanced from apes. I find the latter story a little harder to believe, but then again looking at the world, it makes sense why it would act as it does with the rudimentary understanding of the force fed knowledge that we all were born into. Don't forget mis-information *coughs* the bible, can be even more influential than true information itself. The history of man extends far beyond our rudimentary understanding of it, it is my hope that eventually this can be understood, that there are a great many forces that have/are working on this planet, and that their timelines exists far beyond what man has been able to comprehend or observe with his five "senses" that fail to observe even the full spectrum of light or sound. People gawk at their creations yet have no idea how to re-create some of the most substantial structures that have been slowly uncovered on this planet. Nullius en Verbe - "on the word of no one"Regards,Viz.Mate, I agree with you that usually the victors write the history, but there are books, documents and facts that you can not change... I have watch another research from BBC about the Bible. The scholars explore most of the parts in ancient Egypt and find more evidence that are connected with the Bible. Also, they have found lost books who where no mentioned in the Bible like the gospels or the books of the prophets. But, all I found out that this books are not original part of the Bible. So if you have hold the evidence in one hand and you don't have the fact in the other hand then you don't complete the puzzle. What I ma trying to say is... The stone tablets who was found in the ancient Sumeria are telling the same story that was written in the Bible and if you like to know the full story, then you have to find more evidence and facts that are connected with Sumerian civilization. One thing to consider about all the facts that the scholars are digging up is, often the scholars place interpretations on things when they don't know the truth about. Then some TV program expresses the scholars' theories, and we learn a lot of things that nobody proved. An example is carbon dating. Carbon dating is so full of holes in accuracy, that it really shouldn't be used at all. Research it. The Bible (Old Testament), on the other hand, is eye witness reports that the stubborn nation of Israel handed down over the ages. There is strength of miracles built into these eye witness reports. Present day scholars are not eye witnesses. True! Sometimes scholars place interpretations on things when they don't know the truth about it. So, instead we think with their brain, we can actually use ours! The Bible is one of the most researched books that ever exist in this world. The books that are part of the Old Testament is written by prophets who live in that time and knows what will gonna happen. The modern science has already confirm that this people really exist and they actually write the Old Testament. On the other side, the New Testament was written by apostles who live in Israel in that time. Not just the science confirm the books, but there where a lots of people who see that miracles! Let's take Yoga as example. Many people don't believe that Yoga and meditation can really change your life, but only those who try that, know that miracles can happens even in your own body and mind. So, in my opinion, if you like understand the New Testament and all those miracles, you have to research the Yoga. The whole Bible is written to show people that they need a savior from death, Who that Savior is along with enough details to show why He is the Savior, and how to access His salvation. Yoga isn't in this class. Bible isn't trying to do the things that Yoga does. Comparing Bible and Yoga is like trying to compare fruits with vegetables. They don't match. They are completely separate. If Yoga has a method for keeping people from going into eternal death, nobody has been able to access that feature of it. |

Trump is like any of the other crooks running for the Presidency. All of them want to keep the stupid System, and simply tweak it one way or another. Let me show you what would fix it all. If a President would show the people how to legally and lawfully beat the IRS (how to volunteer out, because the income tax is truly voluntary), and then he put into effect the things necessary to shut down the Federal Reserve Bank... and one more thing - if he set freely usable Bitcoin up as the national currency - the strength of the world would collapse, but the strength of America would rise higher than ever. None of the Presidents and candidates are worth the trouble that it takes to write even a short Bitcointalk post about them. |

Mate, common please, do you really believe in this crap? USA actually create the cancer and now when they see that there are a lot of victims, they will publish ''the cure for cancer''? - Please! World Health Organization spent a lot of money so they can discover how they can trigger the cancer in the human body and now suddenly USA has the cure and it will offer to the public? The project called GMO is the biggest trigger for the cancer. COCA COLA, PEPSI, MARS, NESTLE and McDonnalds are one of the biggest names who use GMO in their products. This are one of most popular and bestsellers products in the whole world and people still use them. You see, there wasn't cure for cancer, because you actually have this in your body. What they have do is learn how to trigger that sickness, so after a few decades they can offer you the cure!  The medical knows what cures cancer. I don't mean all the doctors. I mean the medical, in the books. They try to hide it. They hide it from their doctors, and keep their doctors from using it as much as possible. Way back hundreds of years ago, there were lots of cures for all kinds of things. These cures really worked. Then, people who wanted to make money came in, and started selling false cures, just to make money. It's the same with the medical today. But today's medical has made an art out of it. They sell the weakest cures, the false cures, but at the same time they sell some things that work. If they didn't sell things that worked some of the time, people would be gone and the medical would fail. ---------- Nutritional therapies are great. Many of them work better than anything the medical tells you. But there are many people out to make a buck with nutrition that really doesn't do anything, just like there are many doctors out to make a buck with medicine that really doesn't help you. The point is, the only way that you can tell if it works is if people try it. Sure, lab testing in Petri dishes along with animal tests can give you an idea. But it is only real testing on people that proves whether or not it works. In other words, if you don't look at the people to see if they are getting well or not, or if you don't try it yourself, the only other way is to listen to what other people have to say. And now we are back to the people who just want to sell you a product to make money. How do you know who is telling the truth? ---------- People go to the doctor for two reasons. Either the doctor makes it happen, or they believe someone who told them that the doctor could make it happen. People go to a nutritionist for the same reasons. Mike Adams and Natural News have been around for a long time, both telling and selling nutritional therapies that work. How do we know that they work? Because if Mike Adams and Natural News didn't work, it would have been gone long ago, or there would be as many negative protests about Natural News as you find when you Google "police brutality." If Mike Adams and Natural News were the only nutritional therapy people around, there would be question. But they aren't. Millions of people have been positively affected by nutritional therapies with far better results than the medical offers. And it is the medical that pushes black-labeling of lots of nutritional therapies that they haven't tested on people. What works? Research it and try it. It's the only way. One thing is for sure, however, the medical that makes such a big noise doesn't help anybody to live for more than the average life span that they would have without the medical. |

Natural ginger is up to 10,000 times more effective than chemotherapy... The chemical, known as 6-shogaol, is produced when ginger roots are dried or cooked. The researchers found that 6-shogaol is active against cancer stem cells at concentrations that are harmless to healthy cells. This is dramatically different from conventional chemotherapy, which has serious side effects largely because it kills healthy as well as cancerous cells.
Cells responsible for 90 percent of cancer death?
Like other stem cells, cancer stem cells possess the ability to differentiate into various different cell types. In the case of cancer, stem cells differentiate into the various malignant cells that make up a tumor colony. Although they make up less than 1 percent of the cells in any given tumor, stem cells are impervious to nearly all known or experimental chemotherapy agents. These cells are also able to replicate indefinitely, and they are capable of splitting off from their originating colony to start new tumors elsewhere. They are key players in the process of metastasis, which is responsible for 90 percent of cancer-related deaths.

The true perfection of life is learning, for the true hell is not being able to grow. The experience of consciousness is an always changing eternal life, that expands experience far beyond the words of the bible. Nobody is "condemned to hell", evil is just live spelled backwards. All of life is always evolving, but I'll leave it at that. Can't teach a 1st grader calculus, so I'll save my time in trying to convey some of the deeper essences of life to you, and you can go on believing everyone that isn't Christian is going to hell, like ghandi, buddha, or any other of the ascended masters that brought peace to this plane, and suffered for the message they were destined to convey.
Life is more than the example of one singularity, it takes many to elevate the consciousness of mankind.

There is one major point that you miss in all this. It is that we know very little compared with what there is to find out, and with what exists. There are many evidences for this, but one of the simple, close-to-home ones is, if things were not all that complex, and if they were known just a little, science would have figured out a way for us to live 1,000 years long ago. The reason that I mention this is, it isn't religious gems or religious trash that are important. The thing that is important is what God thinks and does. Until one KNOWS what God thinks, he really doesn't have much knowledge of anything important. Because of the complexity of the universe, science has investigated only a little of it. One of the major discoveries of science is that God does indeed exist. One can start to see it in the fact that everything in nature operates by cause and effect. This means that, scientifically speaking, we don't have any free will. Why not? Because something, or some group of things, caused us to make every "free will" decision that we ever made. |

Look! You are a threat. You are a threat to all of us, because you are brave and bold, and we are cowards... and that embarrasses the heck out of us. It makes us angry. And we talk a lot when we are angry, because talk makes us feel good. But we are too chicken to get out there and DO something brave. The threat exists in the fact that we might overdo it and get hurt, without realizing what we are getting ourselves into... because we are cowards! You ARE a threat.

Adam and Eve didn't have original sin. The devil didn't make them do it. They chose to follow him, and corrupted their own way thereby. You and I might have taken a little longer than Adam and Eve, but we would have done the same. Thank God that He provided Jesus, Who decided not to corrupt His way. Jesus offers His perfection to all people who will accept Him. When they do, they can be saved for a glorious eternal life with our wonderful, great God. |

because atheists don't like people whom too fanatic with their own religion and don't appreciate other religion and want all of people (especially for atheists) to follow their religion
See, that's the difference with atheists. Atheists have a religion that just doesn't care. The other religions want to convert people so that people have a better life here, and in most cases, a better life in the next life. It isn't that atheists don't have religion. They just don't have religion that is anywhere near the truth. Oh, who cares. It isn't the job of religious people to keep atheists from committing suicide with their religion. Let 'em go. They have all the chance in the world to change. But if they want to remain in their willful ignorance, let 'em. |

Police Civil Asset Forfeitures Exceed All Burglaries in 2014 Between 1989 and 2010, U.S. attorneys seized an estimated $12.6 billion in asset forfeiture cases. The growth rate during that time averaged +19.4% annually. In 2010 alone, the value of assets seized grew by +52.8% from 2009 and was six times greater than the total for 1989. Then by 2014, that number had ballooned to roughly $4.5 billion for the year, making this 35% of the entire number of assets collected from 1989 to 2010 in a single year. According to the FBI, the total amount of goods stolen by criminals in 2014 burglary offenses suffered an estimated $3.9 billion in property losses. This means that the police are now taking more assets than the criminals.
The police have been violating the laws to confiscate assets all over the country. A scathing report on California warns of pervasive abuse by police to rob the people without proving that any crime occurred. Even Eric Holder came out in January suggesting reform because of the widespread abuse of the civil asset forfeiture laws by police.
Bloomberg News has reported now that Stop-and-Seize authority is turning the Police Into Self-Funding Gangs. They are simply confiscating money all under the abuse of this civil asset forfeiture where they do not have to prove you did anything.

I will say: Why atheists don't know the difference between the religion and spirituality? What is written in the ancient sacred text and what society want us to think is so different and so wrong! People like you (atheists) should blame the preachers, not the books! I know why you hate religion, because I hate it to, but the difference between religion and God is so different. There is only one book in this world who is talking about the creation of the world like nature, animals and humans, creation of the nations and countries and creation of the relationships between you and your people around you... The Bible. The first and the oldest book that is ever written since the first humans first emerges. This book is not just verified bu our modern science, but also is the most researched book that ever exist. Every person who read, understand and start to practice the Bible will know the difference between good, bad and relativity. If you think that Islam or Hinduism are other religion that they should exist, then look up in the Bible and see what will happen with this two groups of ''religion''. The true christian will know the meaning of the word christian, the meaning of the name Christ and will deciphers the meaning of the Revelation (the last book of John in the New Testament). And, yet, if there happened to be nothing wrong with a particular religion, would religion be needed to tell others about God, Jesus and salvation? Personally, I think that true and right religion would be needed to send out missionaries to preach the Word of God, the Bible. There are other non-Biblical books and scrolls that were written before the Bible was compiled. There are only a few places in the Bible that may have been taken from writings going back to the time of the Creation - the first two chapters in Genesis. The only complete book of the Bible that is possibly older that the writings of Moses (the first 5 books of the Bible) is Job. The writings of Moses may contain the oldest writings, even though the vast majority of his stuff was written over 40 years in the mid 1500s BC. In the spirit of providing a possible look, see http://www.bibleodyssey.org/tools/bible-basics/what-are-the-earliest-versions-and-translations-of-the-bible.aspx. The traditions of the Jews suggest that the best Old Testament (Tanakh) is the one we have today. Yeah, your right! The preacher are those who should tech us about the word of God, but do they? During my research I found that the preachers are those who change the way of how should people look at the Bible. Do you know that 90% people who go in to the church, they never heard about the Bible? Let's talk about the Matrix now. What do you think, how the the people create this huge system for massive control of the people!? They have read the Bible and change some things in politic system so they can teach people that the true government is chosen by God! Now about the documents and facts... If you really want to be sure that you holding the document and the fact in your hands, then you must compare them. What I mean is... The first, the oldest and original story of the Bible come from ancient Sumeria. The books of the Bible was found on 22 000 stone tablets who are according to new research are older then 14 000 b.c.e. You can check that fact if you like! If you are talking about 90% of Christian churches, you are wrong. However, there are many faulty preachers, and all people make mistakes at times, even preachers. Are you under Matrix control when you talk about others controlling people? Do they control you? People who believe in God of the Bible live in peace, even though their controllers do not. Then the controllers die and will face judgment at the resurrection. There is no documented history beyond about 4,500 to 5,000 years ago. Nobody knows about history beyond that. Carbon dating is not accurate and cannot be trusted. The only thing you are trusting when you believe things like 14,000 BC is the delusions of other people. So, you have faith in things that are suppositions. Why not believe the eye-witness reports of the Bible? I check facts daily. I check the Bible where the facts exist. |

I research this field for almost one year and here are the the facts about our genesis, evolution and God: 1. The Bible is definitely the oldest book that is ever written and the first book who is talking about creation of the world, animals and humans. Fact: 22 000 stone tables found it ancient Sumeria, 10.500 (according to new research) b.c.e. 2. According to the Bible, Adam and Eva was created before 450 millions years. Fact: The hammer found in Texas who is dating back for 400 millions of years. 3. In the Bible, more precisely in the Old Testament, the books are grouped in 4 categories. The Law, Historical Books (from Abraham to David), Books of Wisdom and the Books of the Prophets. Fact: Every person who wrote this books was exist in the distant past. P.S. If Gog create us in His image, then He look like us and He is with us all the time! 1. Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Bible, probably over a period of about 40 years starting about 1534 BC. He may have copied a few parts from the writings of others, notably the first 2 chapters of Genesis. There is some suggestion that these were written as early as the days of Adam of the Creation times... maybe even by Adam. 2. According to the Bible, the Creation happened between 6,000 years ago, and, say, 6,200 years ago. 3. Outside of a few of the writings of Moses, and possibly the Book of Job, the rest of the Bible was written following the time of Moses. 4. The term "image of God" may mean other things than the physical look. It may have something to do with spiritual similarities, or the fact that we were holy like God before we sinned. However, God did have a physical look inside this universe. We can see this in the New Testament words of Colossians 1:15-20, where the writer talks about Jesus-God, especially the bolded parts below: 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,
20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. See http://www.albatrus.org/english/theology/creation/biblical_age_earth.htm. Dude, you are definitely go by the books that they give in school... I can see that you know something about the Bible, but the informations that I've collect during this year are from documentaries and texts who reveal the truth about the hidden history, archeology and ancient sacred texts (ancient mysteries). All those ''facts'' that you wrote in your post I can find them in the books I've learn in school or on wikipedia. What do you think about the pyramids? Do you think that our civilization was build them in the distant past? Or maybe the petroglyphs and hieroglyphs are not telling the truth about what happen in ancient Egypt in the distant past? If you want to seriously research the Bible, then I am suggesting you to visit: www.ancient-code.com, read or watch some of the series of Ancient Aliens. Believe me, they will blow your mind! The most important thing is a thing that you can't find in any other text than the Bible. This thing is the way to gain eternal life. If other text has it, it came from the Bible. Eternal life only comes through faith in Jesus Christ. The only way we really know anything about Jesus is through the Bible. There is nothing else that talks about Jesus in enough detail to learn about salvation, other than the Bible. If there is any Jesus salvation knowledge other than the Bible, it comes from the Bible. Without your life and self, what good is all the other knowledge? All knowledge in this life will disappear for each of us individually when we die. Any knowledge that might be carried on by our spirit after our body dies, will be changed in ways we cannot fathom. After the resurrection of all the dead at the last day, even this universe will dissolve and be replaced. This will bring about true forgetfulness of all knowledge in this life and universe. |

It isn't going to hurt me in the least when you drop off the edge. But I empathize.
I ah see you now, you're one of those that uses god as your weapon. Actually, it is "God," not "god." And the weapon is used against the devil, evil, and ignorance about God, not against people... except when they permanently align themselves with the devil and evil. And God uses me as part of His weapon (along with all other believers), and I us Him in the same way. You realize what empathy is right? Feeling another, but to explain your contradictions would be truly a waste of time, since from observing your posts for quite some time it only elucidates the reason why I have strayed away from individuals such as yourself... I'm Spiritual, not Religious. I'm an Inventor, not a Scientist... I create, I don't consume... My assumption is that you are a human being. If you are, you will die, naturally. At least, such seems to be the evidence so far. If you can keep yourself from dying, you might have some strength. But if you can't, you will arise in the resurrection. Without Jesus strength in the resurrection, you will go to disassembly in the Lake of Fire, which will take an eternity to accomplish. That will be bad enough, but the worse part will be missing out on the joys that will exist for those who accept God through Jesus salvation. Spiritual without Jesus leads to destruction. Religion is the thing that is trying to bring Jesus to you so that you can be saved from that destruction. If you are NOT a human being, yet are against God, you will perish in the Lake of Fire even though do not die physically. If you are such - not a human being - then I do not empathize with you, because you have ordained your own destruction long ago.
Hope one day you wake up to realize you're already in Hell, it's called Earth.
If you are in great pain, I pity you. However, it is absolutely nothing compared with the pain of Hell (the Lake of Fire), where all who enter in will be dissolved, spiritually, piece by piece, over an eternity of time, because the soul is eternal. Earth as it is, is a wonderful place compared with Hell. In some ways, this present life is like the Purgatory that the Roman Catholics talk about. I don't condemn. I warn. Sinning might in some ways be a process for learning, but the greatest thing that it teaches is that we will die if we don't have perfection. The second is that we can never reach perfection on our own. We need God-strength for that. The third thing it teaches is that the only God-strength that will work is Jesus salvation, through HIS God-perfection that He offers us through faith. If we don't get on board with God-perfection, all that is left for us is Hell. Neither science of nor inventions of mankind are enough to bring us into the perfection required by God. I can only imagine how many times you have "missed" the "mark", I can see one particular example in your last statement that I have quoted of you, I'll leave the rest for you to decide. Based on your standards, it seems God already hates you, but that in itself is another sin to miss the point of life: to learn. By your logic all children are going to hell too before they even have a chance to rectify their errors.
Take Care,
Viz.
The reason that it seems to you that God hates me is that you are missing the filter of Jesus salvation that God is looking through when He looks at me. Indeed, if He were not looking through that filter, He would hate me. As for the children, they are also in imperfection. However, when children are conceived, the only way they live from conception through the first few years of life is, by Jesus making them live at the same time that they are imperfect. Thus, they are living by Jesus salvation, not really understanding what it is, but just living in it. As children grow older, and come to mental maturity, they forget the aspects of their early life faith, so that they have the chance to come to Jesus with their minds and "free will..." faith mentally, just like they were in faith in their early childhood with out the mentality. Early faith is a great gift of God. This is why Jesus says, as He does in Matthew 18:3-6: And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
“And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea." The "sin" that Jesus refers to above, is not only the sin of making some mistake. It is also the sin of locked in unbelief, so that the child/person loses his salvation. Humble yourself like a little child, and see that your own knowledge isn't enough. Get into the knowledge of God, at least enough that you can be saved for eternal life. The best place to find it is through reading the Bible. Start with the first four books of the New Testament. |

Anybody who suggests out of the blue that they don't represent a threat of any kind, needs to be watched carefully for hidden threats. |
