Why do people believe in God without proof?

Answer 1

I think that they believe in him because they think The Bible is true.

Answer:

Many are raised into the belief before they are taught to use logic and reasoning to come to conclusions. I am agnostic, though when I was young I was sucked into Christianity by friends of religious families and did somewhat believe it at first. Then I learned of science and history and decided it didn't make enough sense, and to this day have not found enough reasoning to think otherwise.

At its core, belief in a deity is, or should be, antithetical to any concept of 'proof'. From the perspective of many Christian sects, for example, the idea of FAITH as opposed to SIGHT (proof, or evidence) is crucial. Ironically, if there could ever be satisfying proof that a deity exists, then it would be the downfall of virtually every religion that holds faith in high regard.

But there can be no such proof, at least not from the perspective of science. It is not the job of science to prove anything, but to continuously refine the process of 'ruling out'. There is no systematic law based in any research algorithm that allows one to arrive at absolute proof of anything. There are only principles that have withstood 10's or 100's of years of challenge. But even such principles can fall. Newton was considered in his time and for generations afterward to have gotten the principles of gravity exactly and profoundly right. We know how that turned out.

I am agnostic, so the question is literally moot. But frankly I wouldn't have anything to do with a deity who allowed her/himself the indignity of proof.

Bla, bla, bla. It is a fact that Science cannot exist without Deity, laws followed without one divine law giver, laws that join with one another. The science that is being quoted above is false science, seeking to pass itself of as real science. Conscience informs us that a Deity exists, so much so that people will seek to stifle conscience by claiming that they are Agnostics, Huxley's new term for Atheism. Conscience cries so loud for a Deity, namely God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, that man will fight, and fight to get away from thoughts of God, pen long thesis, stand on platforms and rant. I do not believe in Evolution because it is a lie and a deceit of man that makes chaos not to be chaos by adding order. My conscience does not witness to Evolution as being right, as existing, but it does that God exists because God made conscience, that tells of its Creator. Those who say they believe that God does not exist are liars and deceivers, decrying their own consciences. They cannot leave off talking about God because He is present in their thoughts, their consciences bearing witness against them. Whilst such contend against God they are actually witnessing for God, whilst at the same time making excuses as to why they speak of God, so as to hide the fact that God continues to witness to their consciences.

Answer: Nor have I seen air, or magnetism, but I do believe they exist. In the case of God, I don't think the Universe could have created itself. A creator is necessary.

Answer 3

There is a famous saying, 'It is better to live life believing in Heaven and die to find it does not exist then to not believe in heaven and die to found it actually does exist. A lot of people need a reason in life, an aim or goal. Faith is kind of like that. You can either believe or not believe its really that simple.
