Leo_7: my friend,u ve just made about 10 threads about God.better make 1 thread and keep it going.otherwise people will not take ur threads seriously.
I agree and frankly if one is truly serious about "searching for the existence of God" then seek out those who have studied and not merely throw questions out to random strangers.
There is conclusive proof of God if you believe in God.
There is conclusive proof of evolution if you believe in evolution.
There is conclusive proof of aliens if you believe in aliens.
There is conclusive proof that God does not exist if you believe He does not exist.
Everything we believe is based in faith. We trust our faith in these things, therefore we find the evidence we each need to back up our faith.
Not all of our faith is true, but that does not matter. It is sufficiently true for us to maintain our faith and our belief, in whatever it is we believe and have faith in.

If there was, atheists wouldn`t exist anymore because there would be no basis for denial so obviously the answer to your question is definitely not.Hope that clears up your confusion on the matter.
This is true bodleing(I remember you from a while back, Hi) Spirituality is a personal experience. Proof of God: Who is he? Proof of divine energy: I have experience! Good Luck with your search, but try looking within

Hi rune, I remember you also...
Anyway to the OP, just a little thing here from someone who influenced my life to some degree.
"When we take the gods as facts, rather than metaphors, then we get lost in debating the merits of the facts rather than apprehending their meaning. The fundamentalist ties his or her beliefs to the facts and narrows the spiritual vitality by fighting rear-guard actions against disputation. On the other hand, the atheist disputes the evidence, gets confused by the institutional forms to which he or she has been exposed, and misses the possible deepening which occurs whenever one confronts the meaning of divinity."
Waterbearer63: I refer you to post #11. Hope that clears up your obvious confusion.
I have never met Bodlein and I have never met you. But from observing his posts on a variety of topics on this site for over 2 years now, he is one of the least "confused" people on CS.
