The existance of God can be demonstrated through evidence and reasoning at last to a 99%, the only 1% left being that he is invisible to us. We can't force him to make himself visible, but we can conclude through pure reasoning that God exists. There are more complex argumentss, but suffice to say for the purpose of this little discussion, that just the evidence of any effect having a cause is enough to prove that. Where is the cause to the visible effect the universe is?
Evidence and faith are two different things. You have the faith that god exists and have made reasons for yourself why you believe. Evidence is something you can touch, and feel. No one has evidence of his existance. I for one do not believe anything until I see it. Therfore I do not believe there is a God. I can also conclude through reasoning that there is a 99% chance God does not exist the 1% being margin of error. So it all comes down to faith doen't it
