I guess that's a pretty fundamental question to answer with our friends, though interestingly enough according to 2005 census about 82% of the population believe in God. However, other people like Richard Dawkins argue that there is no such thing as God.

It’s a good question, basically it is asking what evidence there is for our belief in God. How would you answer such a question?

The Bible says that God reveals himself to us in a number of ways:

1. The world around us. It is an incredible world and speaks to us of a loving God who made it.
2. Our desire - we have an innate sense that there is something greater than us - God.
3. Through the moral law - right and wrong are God given that's why we have a common sense of this.
4. Conscience - conscience is not a product of evolution, it would be an evolutionary hiccup, so it is a sign that we were made in God's image.

But the Bible says we can choose to ignore those signs, in fact Romans 1:18 onwards says we do choose to deliberately ignore those signs. But the most convincing proof that God exists is Jesus Christ, someone has said of Jesus that:‘All the armies that have ever marched, All the navies that have ever sailed, All the parliaments that have ever sat, All the kings that ever reigned put together. Have not affected the life of mankind on earth as powerfully as that one solitary life’

The evidence for Jesus is incontrovertible as are his claims that he is God. Here is John 14:9 "Don’t you know me Philip...Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father!"

And it’s not just words his actions back it up as he raises the dead, feeds thousands, heals the lame and blind and raises the dead to life. The final proof is his resurrection, as he defeats death as only God can. If God is there why doesn’t he just prove it? He has and the decision to be made is what you will do with that proof.
