Setting out to prove God exists through an argument based on scientific evidence in particular is an exercise in futility. Now if you want to say that the evidence could "suggest" that there is a God, that is a different story. But why are people so gung-ho about proving God exists? Wouldn't that defeat the point of having faith?
If God came down to Earth every other weekend and was like, "Hey, I'm God. You will go to hell if you don't worship me," then you wouldn't have "faith" in God because you would know he is real. Most religious people don't even know what faith means. It means you believe something is true, not that you know it is true. Otherwise it wouldn't be faith, it would be knowledge.
I'm not trying to criticize faith, as I am a person of "faith" myself, but let's just point out the elephant in the room. Most people who are religious are as dumb as a sack of bricks. Now let's point out the other elephant in the room. Most people who aren't religious are as dumb as a sack of bricks too.
So what have we learned today, children? That most people are as dumb as a sack of bricks. Think of how stupid the average person is. Half the people out there are dumber than THAT.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
