How to prove that God exists

[Raahim]

The difference is, though, that scientists don't agree based on evidence; not mere belief and interpretations of ancient scribblings.

Many scientific theories don't have actual evidence, but there are still supporters of them and those who disagree with them.
Good example is linguistics, although this could be applied even on other branches of science. However as I said many times before, there's no actual point in comparing science and religion since they give different answers to different questions & also they have different roles in human's life.

Many scientific theories don't have actual evidence,

To qualify as a "scientific theory", an hypothesis must have evidence to substantiate the possibility that the theory holds true.

To be a "theory" in the scientific arena, it must pass certain criteria, including:

1. It must be testable.
2. It must be demonstrable.
3. It must be repeatable.
4. It must possess predictive results.

So, if a "scientific theory" lacks "evidence" (oxymoron), then it isn't a "scientific theory" at all; at best, an "hypothesis".

So, yes; if it constitutes a "theory" within the scientific community, then there is "actual evidence" to back it up.

That's just how science works.

I understand all that. I am looking at even how this process of abiogenesis, dna, sexual reproduction etc. got rolling and I know fully materialistic explanations for it all are possible; but the reasonableness and likelihood of a fully materialistic explanation is a much more challenging issue than explaining how a chicken develops in the egg. Personally, I have come to believe that there are nature entities/spirits involved in the evolution of life.

Please show your math

Some scientists don't even agree on scientific things.
There's no multiple gods, there's only one God. (Based on my belief)

And just because there are more religions they still don't disprove about God's existence.

You seem to have completely missed the point.
WHICH god is the one god?

 

[Twilight Hue]

To an atheist, there is no God. Is there really no God?

I believe there is, based on these two evidences:
1. Drink an egg direct from the cloaca of a hen. Did you feel any solids? Yet when it hatches, there is a beak, a skeleton, fine feather, etc. Where did they come from?
2. A baby was born dead. It was buried. After a few years, it was exhumed. Where did the skeleton come from? We know that what is given by the male is sperm in liquid form. The egg cell from a woman is just one cell.

Those who believe that there is no God, please answer the evidences.

You can also make an egg solid by just cooking it. Does that prove the existence of man?

 

[Robert H Biggadike]

For the sake of your health, don't drink an egg direct from a hen. Chemical processes take place in the egg as a part of the incubation resulting in the solidification of the liquid.
The solidification of a liquid is certainly not miraculous. Fry an egg or scramble an egg. It starts out liquid and ends up solid. Study biology to learn more about the incubation process.

It's not scientifically proof

There's no such thing. Proof is an aspect of logic and mathematics. The sciences deal in evidence.

that everyone accepts, but to a believer what's in their holy book is proof. We can agree on that one, can't we?

As a believer, no I do not agree with this. Not the least of which being that my religion neither has nor needs a holy book.

 

[George-ananda]

That "belief" is fine, I guess, but that doesn't constitute evidence.

The evidence for my belief in nature entities/spirits comes from the teachings those I have come to believe have perceived beyond the physical. This can not be offered as proof.

So we take the easy way out and juxtapose God?

I said nature beings/spirits. God is beyond all that in scope in my view.

Fortunately, those who discovered the causes of disease and looked for naturalistic cures (instead of inserting "god") didn't agree. It's wonderful to be able to go to a clinic for evidentiary-based treatments for my ailments instead of going to Benny Henn charlatans.

Hmmm..not sure why that comment has anything to do with my beliefs. I'm pro-science learning as much as it can about biology and the operation of the universe..

 

[Kartari]

If God is real (remember, I'm a theist), I'm more concerned that God granted just enough intelligence to someone that they would try to suck an egg out of a hen's cloaca. I mean, ewwwwwww ...

Not so sure the chicken would feel any less disgusted, either.
