What evidence is there for God?
I'm going to word this to be as clear as possible: There is a lot of evidence out there. Google it. None of it will be scientific, and I have never claimed there is any scientific evidence for the existence of God. If you are looking for scientific evidence you won't find any, and will remain firmly fixated in your current position.
My point was that we know more about the world now and are able to see that these things don't make any sense.
Which things don't make any sense? They don't make any sense to whom? If they don't make sense to you or your friends, does that mean they don't, or can't, make sense to anyone else? If they don't make sense to you now, does that mean they won't ever make sense to you? Are you suggesting that people who were critical of belief in God at some point in their lives cannot come to believe in God at another point, indicating that as they thought more about it, and considered it further, it actually made
more sense?
Does anything observed in the natural world--with all of our increased knowledge--disprove the existence of God?
Could God not have used evolution by natural selection as the means of bringing the universe to be and us to where we are now?
Modern science has show that it is not a choice. I'll send you some good research papers when I have the chance.
What isn't a choice? Being gay? How do you define gayness? Is homosexuality a static concept? Can people fall along the Kinsey Scale, yet choose which gender they want to have sex with, or to partner their lives with? What about bisexuality? What about other expressions of sexuality, such as zoophilia and pedophilia? Are these choices? If not, to what extent do you think all genetic predispositions should be accepted in human society? What's the baseline for your rationality? Is it a moral choice? If so, how do you decide whose morals are more substantial? How do you decide which set of morals to legislate in a society, forcing others to abide by? How do you justify it? What's your point of reference?
See there? See how quickly and easily a scientific explanation of a natural phenomenon leaves the boundaries of what science is able to explain? See how quickly we move past what science is able to provide for the other facets of human experience?
What evidence do you think there is for the existence of god?
Like I said before, I have ample evidence for me to trust that God exists. Right now I'm really enjoying thinking about the mathematical order and measurability of the universe (the Ultimate Ensemble, as it is termed by some). Anyway, I think I'm currently sharing the same astonishment Albert Einstein had when he made his famous comment,
"The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible."
I also think the following quote from Eugene Wigner sums up this particular evidence I've been ruminating on the last couple of months:
"The enormous usefulness of mathematics in the natural sciences is something bordering on the mysterious, and there is no rational explanation for it... it is an article of faith."
That's one of the evidences for me. There are countless others, but it should give you an idea of where I'm coming from.
