proof of the true God?

Even though I am a theist this is a bad either/or 'argument from ignorance' based on an agenda of which there is sound basis.
No proof either way. Proofs are pooooof! claim

yeah well......science does insist.....
Cause and effect
can't have creation without a Creator
unless substance CAN self create
AND
jump into motion under it's own will
mind you......an entire universe is in motion
Science is great concerning the knowledge of our existence, but beyond this philosophical/theological claims are based on belief and faith. Cause and effect and the outcomes explain very well the nature of physical existence.
True, but it is possible that our physical existence is eternal without a Creator.
It is possible that natural law and our physical existence is eternal, and a Creator is not necessary. Arguments for a Creator are intensely circular and self serving of a theist agenda.
I believe in God, but I will have no part in these ancient circular arguments designed to only justify what one believes.
Obvious as the sky is Carolina Blue at noon on the fourth of July on a clear day. No help here.
Self justifying sound bites do not amount to a coherent argument.

someone must bear you up
teach you the language

otherwise......
chaos
Actually this is an assertion without supporting evidence. The nature of our physical existence is as it is whether God exists or not. Making hypothetical sound bites as to what our physical existence would be without God is not a coherent argument.
Actually Chaos Theory is great!, because it explains the cause and effect outcomes of our physical existence without randomness based on fractal math.

and with 7billion souls to choose from......
why choose from mediocrity?.....when the best is at hand
Again hypothetical sound bites based on the fool's quest for Pascal's argument are not meaningful nor coherent.

Your mythical chaos is the fool's argument from ignorance.
. . . and there are millions of contradictory choices as to what is the 'best at hand.'

there are two levels of ignorance
they who have not heard......are ignorant
they who CHOOSE to ignore......are profoundly ignorant
Thief
Rogue Theologian
and that's fine.....if you are the One making the choice
Considering millions of possible choices, and claims to choose from you are demonstrating your profound ignorance based on a narrow religious agenda of either/or 'my way or the highway,' along with millions of other contradictory claims that assert you are condemned, because you do not agree with them!
I am not the 'One?' making the choice, and neither are you.

nay.......
you will stand alongside others who think and feel as you do
how else to be happy?
how else to be fair?
Thief
Rogue Theologian
we will be subject to the choices we have made
If the bus kills you, it was God's will. If the bus driver sees and stops, that was also God's will. If everything that happens is God's will, how are you going to prove it's not?

Gods are acknowledged through hope and faith. So is money and power. It's simply a choice of what makes life more fulfilling.

Which part of what I said are you referring to, the part about proof of God or the part about the Messengers being the evidence?
Nobody told me there is no proof that God exists, but if there was proof wouldn't everyone believe in God?
Do you see any proof of God?
As far as the Messengers of God are concerned they are direct evidence of God. Nobody told me that but it is obvious if one looks at their lives, their Missions,their scriptures, and the religions they established.
Of course none of the Messengers wrote anything in their own Pens except the Bab and Baha'u'llah who are the best evidence that God exists the world has ever seen, as far as I am concerned. Their Writings alone would be enough evidence for me, but we also have their Missions and the Baha'i Faith, the religion that was established as a result of their coming.
