The God of Abraham is central to the world view and way of life to at least four faiths, Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Baha’i Faith. That same God is considered by some with a more universal outlook to be the inspiration behind other major faiths such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism. So what is the evidence the God of Abraham really exists and how could we prove He doesn’t? Its a central focus of discussion between theists and non-theists alike.
For me, as a theist the central proof revolves around the life and Teachings of the Founders of the major world religions and the enduring influence over significant portions of humanity through many generations. Key documents such as the Torah, Gospels and the Quran have reinforced an enduring legacy. The Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs have their sacred writings too. However all these works were produced many centuries ago amidst societies with very different values compared to our modern age.
If the God of Abraham really exists how could His influence be experienced with comparable clarity through the books of the past yet incorporate Teachings more suited to our modern age?
