Hand of god
What are the best arguments for or against the existence of God?

I mean an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, omnibenevolent Supreme Being -- the eternally and necessarily extant Creator of the universe.

Atheists, Theists, Agnostics, Polytheists, Pantheists and anyone else are all welcome to weigh in!
I'm not asking what you believe, I'm asking about the best arguments for or against the existence of God.

To clarify omnibenevolence, I mean simply 'perfect goodness,' not "the quality of being kind and generous towards everyone and everything." CH (CPT) (Join to see)

I think God exist. But not as religions described Him. Most believe in God according to their background, culture or education, which I think is wrong. It's being a follower. That's why we have so much extremism. You can notice God presence in your daily life without being part of any religion. That's being spiritual and a sane way to connect with God.

This is a hard question. Because no one will ever know until they pass away. I for one believe in higher being. You can call him God, Allah, El, Elohim etc...

Sometimes you just have to believe in something. I am a Monotheist I do not claim one religion over the other. I take in all and make my one point of view of things.

I personally believe that if it hasn't been proven with science then you just need to go on faith. And it doesn't have to be in a supreme being either. You can believe in your fellow man or your family. What ever gets you through whatever turmoil you are going through.

Just my thoughts.

God exists in how we perceive, and by the way we are taught to perceive by our culture. Even to the extent where we may not believe at all.

This is not to say that god is a figment of the imagination, but rather a confirmation of the existence of our deit(y/ies).
The reflection of moral fortitude. Be it constructive, or destructive.
The answer to the question, "Who are you?"

We didn't make all of this. The complexity of existance goes beyond mere chance. Nor is it the only one.

GOD is! GOD is not a noun. GOD is a verb. GOD is the thought in which all thoughts exist. GOD is and must be beyond human comprehension. To paraphrase Thomas Aquinas To one who will not believe no proof is possible but to one who believes no proof is necessary. I let the Universe decide..

Existence as if we willed it. The Higgs will get us closer to certain considerations but that is highly subjective and has gotten political. At the heart of politics are the coalition of Christian faith and then the fall-out from the rantings of a lunatic fringe who relates to only a few dozen people. They are largely ineffectual besides being a nuisance and I would support non-christians against the likes of them because like the Muslim terrorists it is an ego and cultural thing and we are trying to sort all that out. Good luck with that and good luck finding or disproving the existence of anything as we see dark matter entering the pictures.

The famous double split experiments are proven that if you see something, that a particle acts differently than if you didn't. I can imagine a causality but that would be like proving god and who knows the implications of that.

Whenever I see questions like this I fear that the people asking are trolls baiting...
The best way I could answer this is to suggest that you reach out to him personally.
This is like asking someone what love or pain feels like, you have to experience it to understand.
In the end, those who want to believe don't need proof or a good argument and for those who don't no amount seems to be enough.

I think if you really want to know the answer to that question then you have to look at it from every angle. You can't just have a biased one sided opinion about this. There are hundreds of religons in the world that believe in the existance of a higher power of some sort. Some believe in this so much that it is used to justify war, or suicide or to put fear into other people with threats of spending an eternity in the fiery pits of hell if they do not believe. But why? Why are people so passionate about their religion? I think all religions of the world may have a little piece of the puzzle and in order to truly understand the answer to that question you have to take a step back and look at the big picture. Where do these stories come from? Logically, why are people compelled to pass this information down to their children and their children's children from generation to generation over thousands of years? I think there is definately some truth in there.
