There is plenty of evidence. Creation itself demands a Creator. But I doubt that will be sufficient. There are some nice debates from an Oxford professor names John Lennox that you might be interested in watching. I will post the link to one here in case you'd like to check it out.

I knew it when I was three years old living with people who hadn't a clue that God existed. I have no idea how I knew. But I have been checking on God since then.

I checked logic. Could all this order that is our universe just happen? I had a child that grew in me. Wonder of wonders, I used to check her crib after she arrived to see if she was real and she was. First she wasn't there and then she was a human child!!! Then I checked and rechecked history for if I could see if God really worked in it. I agreed with the man who started writing history as an atheist, Will Durant with his 12 volumes of the History of Civilization. Anyone who watches how the world has progressed knows there is a God. Then I got books on the history of the Jews that God says He keeps special track of. They make it very clear. All other people except the gypsies have assimilated when they had no country. When the world had almost no people during the dark ages that lived for God, they kept the idea of a God alive. They have been purified and purified. No other people have been so persecuted. And every step of their history was in prophecy. Everything I checked checked out.

But the trump card of all this happened to me one night as I read scripture. At 8 one night I couldn't understand the spiritual world it talked of one bit, I was just determined to keep trying until I did. At 8:15 that night I understood and have ever since. God became a part of me in that time.

There are many reasons for God. But reasons are not the source of our hope and faith. The Bible says that faith is the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews11:1)

The good news is that faith comes by hearing the Word of God. My advice is that if you are serious about finding out is God exists - read the Bible!!

Start with the book of John. Then read the other 3 gospels and the rest of the New Testament. If there is something you don't understand, circle it or put a question mark in the margin. Ask God to reveal himself.

I guarantee God will meet with you. And all those circles and ??? will start to make sense.

Praying for you to find God himself rather than just some evidence for him.

God reveals to us all what He would have us to understand. If you still have doubts there is a God after contemplating what the world would be like without Him as the designer I have a question for you. When did you start believing God doesn't exist. You will have to answer with a specific time in your life because every man on this earth is created with a recognition of his creator. It was said to me once that the foremost designer of lie detector tests performed this experiment on a group. He asked them if they believed in God. Astonishingly every single person that answered know failed the test. These are somewhat shallow illustrations of how we can't write God's existence off. If there isn't a God, just what do you have to live for that's of any value?

"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse" (Romans 1:20, NIV, 2011).

"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Something that requires faith to believe in Obvioisly has no credible evidence. Otherwise faith wouldn't be required.

If by 'there's no evidence that he does' you mean, there seems to be no repercussions for my actions then your mistaken. You can't just live any way you want. The the biggest 'proof' of Gods existence is the fact that you get whats coming to you. Whether the deeds done in the flesh are good or evil, everyone gets whats coming to them.

There's no doubt God exists. There's no doubt to anyone. God has made himself clear to everyone. You just want someone to convince you that Gods worth having in your life. And if your still at that stage then you don't really understand sin and what it does to people.

You have much to learn and experience before anyone here can tell you anything beneficial. My advice, take some time to think about someone else besides yourself.

There's no doubt to anyone? What about 65 percent of the world who don't believe in your god?

Don't make a sweeping statement like that because it's not true.

It's up to you to find out. It isn't hard so I'll give a scripture that makes your belief your choice. 2 scriptures in fact.

Revelation 3:20-21 (KJV)
[SUP]20 [/SUP]Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

John 3:11-12 (KJV)
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

The Lord has solved every problem I've ever had. How could you make me believe he DOESN'T exist? Don't you listen to what he is saying to you?

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)

Hello ferns
I would say it is faith in what you can't see.
I don't believe there's any other way

JESUS told Thomas you believe because you have seen,
blessed are those who have not seen but yet believe.

also Romans 1:19-20

Because scripture tells me that his invisible attributes have been made clear to his creation...People are just faithless.
