Can you prove the existence of God without using the existence of God as proof He exists?

Could someone prove the existence of duck without using the existence of ducks as proof of ducks?

I was never good at these sort of questions

God desires a personal relationship with each of us. For me it took
supernatural encounters with Him to convince me that He existed.
Simply taking someone else's word for it would not cut it. But it
is an important question that any should be willing to seek the
answer to, and God promises to reveal Himself to those who seek diligently :)

This is an interesting question. How would we be able to prove to non-believers that God is real without using the Scriptures to prove God is real?

I know many non-believers who reject the Scriptures and require other forms of proof.

This will be a tough nut to crack.

Cosmology, biology, botany, philosophy, and history.

This was a homework assignment last semester. I just wanted to see the answers of others on how they would answer it.

No. But I can prove the existence of God to you using the existence of God. Hang on, hold real still, just give me a minute to load my rifle.........

Ah. I was just checking if you were willing to put in the effort to learn this. Obviously not.

So far i see only two people here who take the time to be serious about not using circular logic to prove God is real. All the rest are those who answer seem to be false Christians making jokes instead of being serious.

Is this what we are seeing today? False Christians who think God is a joke?

Whether you believe God is real or not is largely irrelevant. Many people believe in the true God but they hate Him for who He is. What matters most is would you lay yourself down for Him if you believed?
Would you humble yourself before Him accepting He knows better than you?
God is spirit and can only be discerned spiritually.

What do you think? It is a foolish question set up to make us Christians fail so he or she can feel better. Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest ye be like unto him.

Personally, I find the question in the OP to be a joke...........there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in International Law, Federal Law, State, County, or Local Law that requires anyone to prove God is real. And, if you know of a Scripture that requires any of us to prove God is real, please post it.

Show me the Scripture that states: "I am the Lord, your God, go forth unto all the world and prove that I Am Real." Show me that, and I will be far more interested in a conversation about the question in the OP.

As well, before denouncing ANYONE here as a "false Christian," you would be well served to search through the Tread Histories for this same subject........you will find a PLETHORA of very lengthy and serious Threads.

It is not as if this question IS THE VERY FIRST TIME someone thought to ask it on a Christian Forum.

I find your comment to be offensive...........so, I guess your finding my/our comment(s) offensive kinda washes out, right?
