First, the Bible itself provides an answer to that question with simple logic. At Hebrews 3:4 it says,"Of course, every house is constructed by someone, but he that constructed all things is God." That is very simple logic when you think about it. When we see a house, we don't imagine that it somehow just appeared there over millions of years of accidental occurrences. We know someone with intelligence designed it and built it, all for a purpose.
All of creation, including the Earth, universe, animals, plants, and us, are much , much more complicated than any house is. Reasonably, the more complicated the design is, the more intelligent the creator must be.
The most accurate and complicated time piece in the universe, is the universe itself. All the planets, moons, and stars are in perfect alignment, in perfect order, so much so that scientists can predict years in advance where a particular celestial object will be on a given date, even at a given time. If you took all the pieces of a watch, put them in a can and shook them around in that can, those pieces would never assemble themselves into a working timepiece, even if you could shake them around in that can for millions of years. Someone with knowledge of how a watch works has to put those pieces together to make it operate properly.
I also believe that the Bible itself testifies to being inspired by an intelligent creator. Over 700 years before Jesus was born, the Bible writer Isaiah, at Isaiah 40:22 said, "There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth..." Interestingly, the Hebrew word translated "circle" literally means "sphere," so that some translations render that word as such. Isaiah wrote this at a time when the worldly "scientists" of the day thought that the Earth was flat, and supported by giant elephants. It would take science over 2000 years to catch up to the Bible when they discovered that the Earth was indeed round as Isaiah has said. How did Isaiah get his information? I believe it was was from the one who would know, the creator.
Job 26:7 says,"He is ...Hanging the earth upon nothing." This eludes to the Earth has having no visible means of support. This was only understood thousands of years later when scientists discovered gravity. Again, the Bible was ahead of it's time, and again, I believe the information had to come from the creator.
Ecclesiastes 1:7 explains accurately, but in very simple terms, the Earth's water cycle. The Jews were protected from diseases by sanitation laws provided by the creator, at a time when people had no knowledge of bacteria or microorganisms that can cause disease.-(Deuteronomy 23:13; Leviticus 11:27,28,32,33, 13:1-5; Numbers 19:1-13) This was at a time when the world's physicians used human excrement as a salve to treat open wounds! But the Israelites were protected from such dangerous practices. Again, I believe that information could only come from the creator, the father, Jehovah God.

This passage may reasonably be interpreted as referring to a flat circular earth with the heavens forming a dome above it. Such an interpretation is consistent with other passages of the Bible which refer to a solid FIRMAMENT (emphasis mine) (Gen. 1:6-20, 7:11; Ezekiel 1:22-26; Job 9:8, 22:14, etc.).
Psalm
"Thou has set all the borders of the earth" A spherical earth has no borders. 74:17 God holds the earth up with pillars. 75:3
Another reference to "the foundations of the earth", implying that the earth is fixed and does not move. 82:5
"The world also is established, that it cannot be moved." 93:1
"The world also shall be established that it shall not be moved." 96:10
"God ... who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain" (The earth is stationary and does not orbit the sun.) 104:5
"Praise him in the FIRMAMENT (see link) of his power." 150:1
Flat Earth 4:5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
Daniel: The stone became "a great mountain" that "filled the whole earth." This could only be possible on a flat, disc-shaped earth. 2:35
Daniel's tree is tall enough to be seen from "the end of all the earth." Only on a flat earth would this be possible.4:10-11, 20
Revelation 1:7".....and every eye shall see him..."
Psalm 33:14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
Ezekiel 7:2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
Isaiah 11:12 "..... four corners of the earth."
Absolutely no individual involved in organized religion has a conclusive answer to the question of proving the existence of God. Many religious zealots will venture to market their particular brand of theology in an attempt to create a convincing argument that their dogma contains the only credible proof that the God-Fantasy is true. If God can't help you when you are in need then why waste time? If you call your parents for help, they respond. If you call your friends for help, they respond. But this great and powerful God leaves so many innocent victims to suffer and die at the hands of vicious criminals.
Is it not curious how God is never around when good, honest and righteous people call for his help in terrifying situations? He hides from every one except the crooked charlatans trying to exploit gullible simpletons. The Internet is doing a better job than him. Doctors and scientists are adding more value to society than he and his cult of religious bigots. Human suffering is alleviated by the hard work of caring, compassionate, righteous and dedicated individuals.
The concept of God's Mysterious ways is a convenient excuse of religious fanatics for creating Fairy tales. It is no different from parents who make up stories in response to their children's questions about the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus.
No one has been able to prove beyond reasonable doubt, the existence/nonexistence of a supreme spiritual entity that govern the universe. If something exists it just has to be realized and experienced or for something to be discovered it has to exist.
In order to find something, you must know exactly what it is that you are looking for. You must know how and where to search for it then you have to know how to recognize it when you find it.
> Designer. To the archaeologist the existence and intricacy of the piece of pottery is conclusive proof of the existence, intelligence and ability of the people who made it. Look at the beautiful sunset on a summer evening, at the moon and the stars on a cloudless night, at the water that you drink, at the trees and how they grow from tiny seeds. Think about your eyes with which you see, your ears with which you hear, your tongues with which you taste and talk, your hands and your feet, your heart and your brain. Consider how these things are so complex in themselves and yet work together in such perfect harmony. From the movement of the galaxies to the complexities of the interaction of molecules, from the dynamics of eco-systems to the intricacies of DNA, all lead to the obvious fact of the existence of the great Wisdom, Knowledge and Power that allows our Universe to exist and function. To any perceptive person the existence and intricacy of creation is conclusive proof of the Existence, Knowledge and Wisdom of the One who creates, organises and sustains it. Most people naturally recognise the existence of the Creator, and we find reference to the Creator in all cultures and religions. Even the atheists, communists and (disbelieving) scientists cannot avoid this reality, but avoid the term 'creator', for phrases like 'Mother Nature' and 'the amazing way nature has designed...'
He has revealed Himself to mankind through the Bible. The Bible tells the history of mankind and how God chose the nation of Israel to be His people. Israel failed to reveal God's ways to other nations so in these last days God has spoken to all of mankind through His son Jesus Christ.
Yes, this is my strongest belief, and one day all the nations will see that OUR GOD REIGNS.

If there is a god or there is not a god
God cannot be known. God has to be realized and we can love God when we start our journey with God. It starts with believing in God, having faith in God, then having hope, trust and living with enthusiasm. When we realize God is everywhere, when we see God in a little flower, in a singing bird, when we see God in you and me, then we don't have to know God because God is in everything, God is everywhere. God cannot be defined, God cannot be known, we cannot find God, we have to realize God and the way to realize God is to love God, is to yearn for God more than you yearn for your beloved, for gold, for anything and anybody. When we yearn for God, then we realize God, we will become one with God.
God if Love. God is a spirit. God is omni present. God is omniscience. God is Omni-potent.
If you believe in a God you must believe that God was always there. God wasn't created. God always was. God will be and always has been. there was never a time before God or will there be after God. That is the meaning of the omnipresent (always present) God.
Des God believe in God? God recognises no other God besides Himself. There is only one true God, and that is the Father in heaven.
God is a good God, He is a great God, He can do anything but fail, He can move every mountain, Out of the way, God is a wonderful God.
Hades is the God of the dead, the God of the Underworld, and the God of riches and wealth.
