Does God Exist?

As for what the Big Bang created, "the universe" is generally considered to be everything that exists so you can't really differentiate between the two terms. It is entirely possible (although entirely impossible to prove) that there could be other universes with different physical laws that we have no way of getting to.

Just for clarification and not in relation to anything else that's really been said here: I'm guessing by the capitalisation of God that the topic of discussion is only the Judeo-Christian deity?

Sorry XD!, got side tracked onto another persons reply while I was typing. And yes, this topic does seem to be in terms of Judeo-Christianity.

Define 'Existence'

God does indeed exist in this thread

To be honest, I do believe in God.

And I certainly believe in Jesus. I'm sure there was a man 2000 years ago, who preached about a man in the sky, but there was more than one.

Has anybody thought that maybe, Jesus was many different men? Now I find that hard to believe. I do believe that a man named Jesus was crucified because of him claiming to be God's son.

Now as for God, put it this way, I go to a Catholic school, and even some of the R.E. teachers say that the theory that God created the earth is innacurate.

I think God has a plan for us. :S

Yes. ;););););););)

Okay so tell me which religion is truth? Islam, Judaism or Christianity. Since all of these religions tell a different story on the existence of 'God' and contradict themselves on how the world was created etc.

Oh and provide proof for your asnwer

You can argue til you're blue in the face but there's never going to be a conclusion (does help me with RE A Level though so keep going :D).

In my opinion, God isn't a human being. God is the subconcious of every living thing (animals can't really speak out but they have feelings too). The voice inside us that makes us feel guilt when we commit evil deeds. Those who enjoy inflicting pain and evil on others and feel no guilt or remorse have no subconcious and therefore no God.

Its a rather nice and interesting perspective, the way you've decribed it sounds like your describing the Superego, proposed by Freud, only everyone has a Superego but its strength is different for everyone :P.

What ever your opinions are to this matter you should still respect other peoples views

I have one word for that video;

evolution.

so "God" is male? and your reason behind this is? what even makes you think God is human? there is no sufficient evidence whatsoever
so no, i don't believe in God yet I do believe there is something after death but i won't rant on about that
