So... what is it that convinced you that God exists (or not?). Experience, philosophy, tradition, miracles... ?

how long can i write it lol
As much as you want! I am just pondering...
For me I grew up as a christian and was taught to have faith but as a young person it is a bit difficult to have faith in something you cannot see. Now as an adult my "proof" in God is knowing that he is with me during difficult or traumatic times and he was the one who carried me through. For example with the death of my parents and especially the death of my son. I know that if it wasn't for God I wouldn't have come out with the strength that I have now. There are many more examples I could list, may pop back in later.

What Dianne said! God and I have such a tight relationship there isn't a single doubt in my mind that He is real. He has been my Dad when I didn't have one, my Friend when I didn't have any, my Comforter and Provider during hard times. I can see Him so clearly interweaved in my life when I look back that there is no way I could deny that He is real.
I also look at the world and how miraculously it all works and how beautiful it is and I just know it had to have been made by a Master designer![]()
The miracle of egg and sperm meeting and the formation of life. How perfect is the baby? Absolutely perfect human being. It is truly a miracle. I am always at an awe as to the way life is formed inside the human body.
i have more.
I'll be back **said in an Arnie Schwarznegger accent**![]()
Ok.
One morning during Ramadan (our holy month of fasting), the local Turkish radio station has a live show during the whole month during the morning, say from about 3am til 5am and they will end the show with the athan (call of God, for people to come to prayer) and that is also the time when you stop eating and begin fasting for the day.
I told DH that i would turn the radio and listen to the athan and he said, you know what time eating stops, so why bother? I didn't listen to him, so i turned it on and was listening to the athan. he told me to turn it off several times because i had it too loud and he could not hear the commentary from his soccer match that he was watchingI though okay, you win i'll switch it off. I went to switch it off and it would not turn off, pressed the off button, wouldn't turn off. DH is still in the other room telling me to turn it off and i told that it would not switch off and for him to turn it off. He came in and saw me trying to turn it off and still would not. He played with it, trying to turn it off and the same thing happened it would not turn off. we were absolutely gobsmacked. I then told him that the radio would turn off when the athan finished. He still tried, no luck. We waited. The ethan finished and i said to DH that now i would press the off button again and guess what??? The radio switched off. We were just left there staring at each other. I told him that God wanted him (DH) to listen to all of it as well.
That was soooo spooky. There definitely is a God.
:yeahthat:
as soon as i saw my baby it was the best thing ever it topped my wedding day by like 1000% and made me believe even more
besides that i just have this feeling that some one is watching over me all the time making sure nothing bad happens to me i felt it even more when i was preg coz there was so many times where i could have hurt myself or even my unborn baby and i didnt i had a lot of close calls coz im really clumsy and still havent hurt myself badly
eg when i was 10 i fell off my bike and should have smashed my wrist and all i got was a sprain
he has saved me so many times
i was in a car acciden when i was ten, my cousin died when the side of my car was hit the car crumpled to nothing and i walked away with a concussion and 10 stiches.
second- i was meant to be staying in kuta 500m from where the bali bombing hit and had a hens night that was going to happen at the bar but i lost my passport only to later find it in my handbag which i emptied 6 times,
god exists and has saved me countless times
that is all the proof i need.
I agree with the miracle of life! I find it so hard to believe that evolution happened by chance only with absolutely no guidance...
Oh i agree PX
how did we just happen to be such perfectly created creatures?
it doesnt add up to me
the miracle of life is gods creation.
