Default Does evidence of God(s) exist?

Has anyone SEEN evidence with their own two eyes that God or Gods exist? Be VERY specific. I am mostly interested in unlikely events, clues found in nature, or spiritual interventions. I am NOT interested in hearsay, scripture, or generalizations about emotions (love, morals, etc.).

There is no physical evidence that God exists.
There is likewise, no evidence that God does not exist.
Miracles, the evidence for which is not scientificaly proven, are the nearest to proof that can be offered.

Never the less many of us KNOW that God does exist.

There is no evidence thru the natural sciences. Evidences thru reason is of course something that can be argued all day.

Hi Orm,

Actually the answer to this question can be one of perspective. One can dismiss the miracle of their existence and the earth that surrounds them or they can view this as proof that some higher power was/is at work here. To give an example of this, look at the universe. It is a crucible of powerful forces that we cannot survive in. We ended up with a beautiful planet that shelters us and allows us to live our lives. This is a miracle. Or, as most materialist do, one can go into physics and science etc and say it is all an accident. On the other hand, spiritual experiences cannot be repeated in a labratory so they are easily dismissed by materialists.

Perhaps I didn't phrase the question well. Let's try again. Has anyone witnessed a miracle? To claim no evidence exists is to claim that the miracles in the bible do not exist. Has God or Gods spoken directly to anyone? There are people throughout history that claim this. Has anyones religion saved their lives? I know a few people who claim this. I'm not looking to prove God does or does not exist, I'm just looking for clues.

I personally have not seen or experienced a miracle (aside from my little one being born).

I have seen things I can't explain (like an exorcism). Nonetheless, none of my faith revolves around that.

this may sound corney but for me a look at the hubble telescope pictures of galaxies and the like as well as the natural landscapes here on earth are proof enough for me that god exists.

So you only want empiracle evidence then? Show you shall recieve.

Would you consider the argument from design?

Our presence is the only evidence that I need that God exists.

Of course, a simple dive into the oceans shows me God all over again. The wonders of the depths are amazing.

Then there is the universe that declares his glory! The stars and the planets all sing the wonders of God.

What? You don't see God in every leaf, in every sunrise and sunset? If you seek him, you will find him.

No! That's why I'm asking. Although, now that you've mentioned it, sort of reminds me of an LSD trip...
