In your opinion, what is the strongest evidence from evil to say that God does not exist?

Question

what do you think

Answer 1

Disease, and everyday killings

Answer 2

God does exist, what goes around comes around, sow has you reap.

Answer 3

look at this book:

Handbook of Christian Apologetics: Hundreds of Answers to Crucial Questions by Peter Kreeft and Ronald K. Tacelli

Answer 4

Tom E has the most correct answer. I'd vote, but apparently I can't until I get to level 2.

Answer 5

The evil of unbelief.  It is the only evil that says God does not exist.

Answer 6

To question the very existence of God is to fall prey to evil and it's snares. Satan seeks to make you sin willfully.

Answer 7

I don't think you can find any evidence "from evil" because evil itself only exists conceptually as the polar opposite of pure good.  So if you're trying to disprove the existence of God, you should have no use for a concept of evil either.

Answer 8

free will causes evil outcomes not God's actions making it so. So evil has nothing to do with God.

Answer 9

The Holocaust and other genocides

Answer 10

Faith is the only answer, you either have it or you don't.  Evil can not exist with out good.  

Evidence is everywhere.  For every death there is a life and for every life there is death.

Answer 11

Jesus Christ Superstar.  lol.  Idk.  Maybe the fact that when would Jesus have the time to write the bibles.

Answer 12

Okay, I'm disturbed by all the people throughout this site of how many people believe that life just comes to an end.

God exists. Those of us who believe in Him will not perish, but have everylasting life with Him in heaven, the glorious place possible. Those who don't, will burn in h**l. Plain and simple, not trying to butter anything up.

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.  PEOPLE DIE SO THEY CAN BE WITH GOD, PEOPLE DIE TO HELP OTHERS COME INTO REALIZATIONS, PEOPLE DIE TO HELP OTHERS IN OTHER SITUATIONS, GOD HAS A REASON FOR EVERYTHING.  

There's so much about the universe, and our world in particular, that we take for granted because it works so well. But Christian astronomer Dr. Hugh Ross has cited twenty-six different characteristics about the universe that enable it to sustain life. And there are thirty-three characteristics about our galaxy, our solar system, and the planet Earth that are finely-tuned to allow life to exist.{1} I do well to make the meat, potatoes, vegetables, and bread all come out at the same time for dinner; we're talking about fifty-nine different aspects all being kept in perfect balance so the universe hangs together and we can live in it!

Our Earth, for instance, is perfectly designed for life. It's the "just right" size for the atmosphere we need. Its size and corresponding gravity hold a thin, but not too thin, layer of gases to protect us and allow us to breathe. When astronaut John Glenn returned to space, one of the things that struck him was how thin and fragile our atmosphere is (only 50 miles above the Earth). If our planet were smaller it couldn't support an atmosphere, like on Mercury. If it were larger, like Jupiter, the atmosphere would contain free hydrogen, which is poison for us.{2} Earth is the only planet we know of that contains an atmosphere that can support human, animal, and plant life.

The Earth is also placed at a "just right" distance from the sun and the other planets in our solar system. If we were closer to the sun, we'd burn up. If we were farther away, we'd freeze. Because Earth's orbit is nearly circular, this slightly elliptical shape means that we enjoy a quite narrow range of temperatures, which is important to life. The speed of Earth's rotation on its axis, completing one turn every 24 hours, means that the sun warms the planet evenly. Compare our world to the moon, where there are incredible temperature variations because it lacks sufficient atmosphere or water to retain or deflect the sun's energy.

Speaking of the moon, it’s important that there is only one moon, not two or three or none, and it's the "just right" size and distance from us. The moon's gravity impacts the movement of ocean currents, keeping the water from becoming stagnant.{3}

Water itself is an important part of a "just right" world. Plants, animals and human beings are mostly made of water, and we need it to live. One of the things that makes Earth unique is the abundance of water in a liquid state.

Water has surface tension. This means that water can move upward, against gravity, to bring liquid nutrients to the tops of the tallest plants.

Everything else in the world freezes from the bottom up, but water freezes from the top down. Everything else contracts when it freezes, but water expands. This means that in winter, ponds and rivers and lakes can freeze at the surface, but allow fish and other marine creatures to live down below.

The fact that we live on a "just right" planet in a "just right" universe is evidence that it all was created by a loving God.

Every religion has its own holy book, but the Bible is different from all the others. It claims to be the very Word of God, not dropped out of the sky but God-breathed, infused with God's power as He communicated His thoughts and intent through human writers.

The Bible was written over a period of 1500 years, by about forty different writers, on three different continents. They addressed a wide variety of subjects, and yet the individual books of the Bible show a remarkable consistency within themselves. There is a great deal of diversity within the Bible, at the same time displaying an amazing unity. It presents an internally consistent message with one great theme: God's love for man and the great lengths to which He went to demonstrate that love.

If you pick up any city newspaper, you won't find the kind of agreement and harmony in it that is the hallmark of the biblical books. A collection of documents that spans so much time and distance could not be marked by this unity unless it was superintended by one Author who was behind it all. The unity of the Bible is evidence of God's existence.

One other aspect of the Bible is probably the greatest evidence that God exists and that He has spoken to us in His holy book: fulfilled prophecy. The Bible contains hundreds of details of history which were written in advance before any of them came to pass. Only a sovereign God, who knows the future and can make it happen, can write prophecy that is accurately and always -- eventually -- fulfilled.

For example, God spoke through the prophet Ezekiel against the bustling seaport and trade center of Tyre. In Ezekiel 26:3-6, He said He would bring nations against her: "They shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; and I will scrape her soil from her, and make her a bare rock." Ezekiel 26-28 has many details of this prophecy against Tyre, which would be like Billy Graham announcing that God was going to wipe New York off the map.

Tyre consisted of two parts, a mainland city and an island a half- mile offshore. The first attack came from the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, who laid siege to Tyre for thirteen years. Finally, his battering rams broke through the walls, and he tore down the city's towers. But the island part of the city wasn't yet destroyed, because this prophecy was fulfilled in stages. For 250 years it flourished, until Alexander the Great set his sights on Tyre. Even without a navy, he was able to conquer this island city in what some consider his greatest military exploit. He turned the ruined walls and towers of Old Tyre into rubble, which he used to build a causeway from the mainland to the island. When he ran out of material, he scraped the soil from the land to finish the land- bridge, leaving only barren rocks where the old city used to be. He fulfilled the prophecy, "They will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses; your stones and timber and soil they will cast into the midst of the waters"(Ez. 26:12).

Fulfilled prophecy is just one example of how God shows He is there and He is not silent. How else do we explain the existence of history written in advance?

The most astounding thing God has ever done to show His existence to us is when He passed through the veil between heaven and earth and came to live among us as a man.

Jesus Christ was far more than just a great moral teacher. He said things that would be outrageous if they weren't true, but He backed them up with even more outrageous signs to prove they were. Jesus claimed not to speak for God as a prophet, but to be God in human flesh. He said, "If you've seen Me, you've seen the Father" (John 14:9), and, "The Father and I are one" (John 10:30). When asked if He was the Messiah, the promised Savior, He said yes.{8} He told his contemporaries, "Before Abraham was, I am"(John 8:58). The fact that His unbelieving listeners decided then to kill Him shows that they realized He was claiming to be Yahweh, God Almighty.

When Jesus told His followers that He was the Good Shepherd (John 10:11-18), they would immediately be reminded of a passage in the book of Ezekiel where Yahweh God pronounced Himself shepherd over Israel (Ez. 34:1-16). Jesus equated Himself with God.

But words are cheap, so Jesus backed up His words with miracles and signs to validate His truth-claims. He healed all sorts of diseases in people: the blind, the deaf, the crippled, lepers, epileptics, and even a woman with a twelve-year hemorrhage. He took authority over the demons that terrorized and possessed people. He even raised the dead.

Jesus showed His authority over nature, as well. He calmed a terrible storm with just a word. He created food out of thin air, with bread and fish left over! He turned water into wine. He walked on water.

He showed us what God the Father is like; Jesus was God with skin on. He was loving and sensitive, at the same time strong and determined. Children and troubled people were drawn to Him like a magnet, but the arrogant and self-sufficient were threatened by Him. He drenched people with grace and mercy while never compromising His holiness and righteousness.

And after living a perfect life, He showed His love to us by dying in our place on a Roman cross, promising to come back to life. Who else but God Himself could make a promise like that—and then fulfill it? The literal, bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ is the final, greatest proof that there is a God, that Jesus is God Himself, and that God has entered our world and showed us the way to heaven so we can be with Him forever. He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except by Me" (John 14:6).

God exists, and He has spoken. He made a "just right" universe that is stamped with clues of its Maker. He placed eternity in our hearts, as Ecclesiastes tells us, and all people have a strong moral streak because we are made in the image of a moral God. The evidence of design in our bodies, our world and the universe is a signpost pointing to a loving, intelligent Designer behind it all. The unity of the Bible and the hundreds of fulfilled prophecies in it show the mind of God behind its creation. And

Answer 13

Global warming and ignorance to famine and poverty.

Answer 14

when children die for almost whatever reason

Answer 15

I guess I don't understand what you mean by "evidence." I associate evidence with something scientific.  It is solid proof of something or another.  There is no scientific proof that God exists or doesn't exist -- that's called faith.  If there was evidence God would be science.

The bad that happens in the world has nothing to do with God or the creator or anything else.  We have been put on this earth with the ability to make decisions in everything that we do.  You may or may not like your options, but the ability to make a decision is always there.  When terrible things happen, it's just someone somewhere making a wrong decision that just happens to involve other seemingly innocent people.

If you are into reading about stuff like this, I would recommend that you read up on reincarnation.  I would start with Edgar Cayce.  A lot of things will become more clear to you.

Answer 16

Popes telling you that life require sacrifice while they live in the lap of luxury.

Answer 17

Tricky question as evil is a myth. God does not exist because if he did he would not have allowed EuroDisney to be built.

Answer 18

There is no evidence to prove he doesn't exist .

Answer 19

well.one thing is thAT god does..exist,,but...my ? is he wat has made man or wat man has made

Answer 20

No evidence is strong enough regardless of the amount of evil.

Every thought, every entity in nature, everything that can be conceived by humans and everything that exists that cannot be conceived by humans is proof that the Almighty exists.

The fact that your thoughts can conceive of this question, proves that the Almighty exists.

Answer 21

Evolution

Answer 22

there is no evidence to say god does not exist. Satan does evil and God allows it to happen because he has a reason. we are mortal and do not know what that reson is but it sure should be a good one!

Answer 23

How does evidence come from evil? I don't understand what you are asking.

Answer 24

I'd have to say the existence of natural evil, such as disease, catastrophic weather, etc. And, of those natural evils, I'd say the worst is the fact that every single animal must kill and devour other animals or plants to survive. The fact that nature is "red in tooth and claw" tells me that even if some kind of God does exist, it can't be the omnibenevolent kind that theists worship.

There may be some other kind of God, but if there were, the extreme amount of suffering caused by the need to eat other living creatures would convince me not to worship such a being, if it created the universe this way.

Answer 25

In my belief God left us for a while to fend for our selves and evil ones will be judged later
