Revelation | A Christian Site About Religion, God, Jesus, & the Bible Articles and Answers about God, the Bible, Jesus, Religion, & Theology

This is a great question below:

Why Won’t God Give Mankind Proof of His Existence Instead of a Bible? Maybe if He would prove He actually exists, more people would believe in Him and worship Him. But instead God doesn’t reveal Himself.

That is a great question. I think a lot of people have often wondered this.

I think what your question is really saying is this: Let God show me he exists, and then I will believe in Him and follow His commands-right?

But there are basic problems with this question:

1. The question assumes that God has done nothing more since the beginning of time to show He exists. This is not true, as the Bible is filled with stories all the way up to the time of Jesus/NT of God revealing himself in various ways.

2. God has performed miracles in the past, the Bible has archeological evidence to support its stories, there are eyewitness accounts, and more. There are also valid prophecies that did come to pass years later.

3. The last problem with this question is that people who ask this question often say that they need to see to believe. They say that if they could see God or proof of God that they would follow His commands.

But is that really true? Don’t we have enough evidence that smoking causes lung cancer? But people still smoke don’t they? Even if they see someone dying in a hospital from doing it.

Don’t we have enough evidence that eating too much food causes people to gain weight? But people are still overweight, right?

Don’t we have enough evidence that commiting a crime will cause us to go to jail? But the prisons are full aren’t they?

The point I am trying to make is people often say if they could see they would believe and change. But it simply isn’t true. Even in the first book of the Bible, Cain knew God existed and still rejected to live his own way.

Satan knows God exists, but became proud and wanted to be God himself.

So what good would it really do for God to go around writing His name in the clouds all day? People would still sin-regardless of whether they believed or knew he existed.

Something people often think about, including me. I do believe in God, however, we all know that you cannot prove God’s existence, or prove that God doesn’t exist.

In truth, we all have to make a choice based on evidence. We don’t have the complete picture, and we weren’t there at the beginning of time, so we can only have “faith” that whatever we choose is correct.

People that disbelieve in God, generally accept that the big bang started the universe (or a variety of big bang theory), and life evolved. However, please understand that this is a theory, and they can’t prove this any more than I can prove God exists. So they have “faith” it was all started by scientific measures, and God doesn’t exist.

I look at the evidence, and believe God works through science. In my opinion, religion without science is foolish, but at the same time, science without God is also not wise.

But the universe does have a beginning (at least according to most scientific theories). So if something has a beginning, that means it was created. If something was created, it had to have a creator.

However, God is the only thing that was not created. You can ask what created the universe, that is a logical question (because we know it had a beginning). But asking what created God is an illogical question, since God never had a beginning. The only thing that ever was —is God. So asking what created God is like asking how much does the color blue weigh (that is an illogical question, because blue is a color not a weight.)

So again, there is plenty of evidence for the existence of God, and sure there is evidence for scientific theories and laws as well. But you have to look at all the evidence, and realize that you have to make a leap of faith regardless of what you believe.

I believe God created the universe as the bible indicates. He used atoms, and the scientific laws that He created.

It works kind of like a computer. A computer really is useless by itself. It is just a bunch of electrical parts (matter), and it uses a binary system of 1′s and 0′s. That is all a computer really is made of.

However, a software writer can take those 1′s and 0′s and make definitions and arrange them in a way to mean something. For example, they can state that the arrangement of five 1′s and six 0′s equals blue. This is the basis of how computers are useful and we have webpages and software (and also why Bill gates is one rich dude).

This is the same way with genetics. It is just a big code, right? It tells our cells what to do, and how to do it. But who wrote the code? Who said this code equals blue eyes? Who made it come alive and replicate itself? I believe it was all God.
