    I have contentions about this. IMO the only people truly thinking "you can't prove God's existence" are rejectors of truth. Yet believers compromise and claim that the one single absolute truth cannot be proved at all? Don't bow down to ignorance.

    6808 - Therefor obey/yield not thou the rejecters
    6809 - Who would have had thee compromise, that they may compromise.

    Al-quran states those who deny the judgement are only wrongdoers (8312).

    A large amount of people are certain that God exists, no? They have reached the absolute; they may not call it "God" but that is what "God" refers to.

    If ALLAH could not be "proved", why send down al-quran?

      The People of the Scripture ask you to bring down to them a book from the heaven. But they had asked of Moses greater than that and said, "Show us Allah outright," so the thunderbolt struck them for their wrongdoing. Then they took the calf after clear evidences had come to them, and We pardoned that. And We gave Moses a clear authority.

      "...bring down to them a book from the heaven.."

      Scientifically, Allah cannot be proven.

      No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision He is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things.

      This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah -

      only Allah you put faith on, everything else, has to be scientifically proven.

        As there is very less evidence for the existence of a God, and also because knowledge of his existence is of no or very small importance to us when it comes to living our own lives freely, the question is completely useless. IF he so wants us to believe in him why don't he show himself to us. He seems to be to be suffering from bipolar disorder. He also always tries to be at the center of attention.

        He loves you and you better love him back or he will burn you forever.

              Then there is no way to prove God. voodoo Now lets rely on your conjecture. ! "God" created Science. Very believable. hmm

                    I have said this before to someone who asked the same question of "why can't God just show himself"
                    Well you have to keep in mind that this vast universe cannot bear the presence of God because all of it can virtually fit in his hands. God states that no one's vision can encompases him, but his vision encompasses all things. Thus God is too Great for anyone to see!

                    Praise be to God, from the Highest degrees!

                      Wait, isn't God everywhere? Or you think he is outside and cannot encompass the universe? Is he not supposed to be omnipresent? And why is he unable to make himself visible to us? Is he not all able? If a God was our creator and he wanted us to know that so much, why don't he show us proof of his existence without telling us to rely on conjecture. Is God unaware of the scientific method?

                        Yes He/It is..

                        Is God unaware of the scientific method?

                        Scientific method
                        Scientific method refers to a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning

                        Let's try that..

                        Inquiry What makes the earth go round the sun within circular motion?
                        Hypothesis A force, let's name it 'gravity'
                        I Where is this force located?
                        H Nearly around every object, the bigger the masses the bigger it is.
                        I Why can't we see this 'gravity'
                        H Gravity cannot be seen since it's a force and not a light emitting or deflecting material however it's observable through the effect that it produce.

                        Now let's try to answer your question..

                        Q Is He outside and cannot encompass the universe?
                        A He is not outside
                        Q Is he not supposed to be omnipresent?
                        A Yes He is.
                        Q And why is he unable to make himself visible to us?
                        A He is visible to you but you don't recognize Him. He is not visible to you because you cannot comprehend Him.
                        Q Is he not all able?
                        A Yes He is all able.
                        Q If a God was our creator and he wanted us to know that so much, why don't he show us proof of his existence without telling us to rely on conjecture.
                        A The proof of His existence is that you know that you exist and you know that everything outside of you exist and He doesn't tell you to rely on conjecture.

                        Let's expand the QA
                        Q What if God doesn't exist
                        A Then you and things outside of you doesn't exist.
                        Q What if I believe that there's no God
                        A What you believe doesn't matter, it will not alter any fact at all

                        Salam / Peace

                          God exist because its scientifically impossible to proof. Let science do other things like making food free.

                            Salam / Peace

                            proof? Other than a religious scripture? Have you observed this?

                            Q Is he not supposed to be omnipresent?
                            A Yes He is.

                            proof? Other than religion?

                            Q And why is he unable to make himself visible to us?
                            A He is visible to you but you don't recognize Him. He is not visible to you because you cannot comprehend Him.

                            If he is all able and is able to conjure us and destroy us magically then why can he not allow us to see him? If he is so all-able.

                            Q Is he not all able?
                            A Yes He is all able.

                            Q If a God was our creator and he wanted us to know that so much, why don't he show us proof of his existence without telling us to rely on conjecture.
                            A The proof of His existence is that you know that you exist and you know that everything outside of you exist and He doesn't tell you to rely on conjecture.

                            Isn't his existence conjecture? Why should I worship a God that does not make himself visible to me? Even if the quran says so, are you telling me to rely on conjecture?

                            Let's expand the QA
                            Q What if God doesn't exist
                            A Then you and things outside of you doesn't exist.
                            Q What if I believe that there's no God

                            Salam / Peace

                            You cannot come to that conclusion so quickly? How are you so certain that things outside of you will not exist if not for a supernatural creator? And also, what religion makes you believe doesn't matter. It will not alter any fact at all.

                              Let's do this using math notation then.. i'm assuming you're well versed in mathematical concept..

                              Let denote a notation towards a conception of something without boundary, limit or end, also called as 'infinity'.

                              Let A = { 1,2,3,4 }
                              Q Where does in A?
                              A is not in A however A is wihin

                              Q How could one 'see' the entire
                              A One cannot see the entire , as has no boundary.

                              To further explain this, go outside your house and see the front door / main entrance of your house. You shall see one door and you shall also see things which is not door around the door (such as wall, window etc).

                              Now approach the door, and put your eyes next to the door surface. You shall see the door, infact what you see within your vision is only door, but you no longer see the boundary / limit of the door. However you perhaps see a 'greater detail' of the feature on the door, such as it's made of wood, there are 2 small cracks, markings, unique reliefs etc.. and perhaps as you grew your familiarity with those features, you shall name those features independently and recognize it as an entity by itself.. crack A is UBUKIK crack B is TUKATU marking A is LAPOPO relief a is DALUDU.. etc..
                              And as time progress.. you shall say I only see UBUKIK, TUKATU, LAPOPO and DALUDU but I don't see any door...

                              Salam / Peace

                                Isn't God able to override all mathematical concepts and logic? Isn't God the divine magician?

                                  Yes.. but he's the one who set the mathematical foundation concept and logic for this specific universe in the first place..
                                  And 'from the looks of things' He's not to keen to override his own thingy... otherwise there will be a 'chaos'..

                                  There could be another universe where such concept of math here are not applicable there and vice-versa.

                                  And there's no such thing as 'magic', and the conception of today's 'divine' is misleading.. Divine is actually a loan word from ancient sanskrit "Deiwos" which means 'shining', as thus 'divine being' is actually 'shining being'.

                                    There could be another universe where such concept of math here are not applicable there and vice-versa.

                                    And there's no such thing as 'magic', and the conception of today's 'divine' is misleading.. Divine is actually a loan word from ancient sanskrit "Deiwos" which means 'shining', as thus 'divine being' is actually 'shining being'.

                                    He is unable to prevent chaos caused by him?. Not Able???

                                    Also, God is a magical being as he doesn't obey the laws of science, eg; virgin birth, resurrection of the dead, etc.. unless you are a pantheist of course.

                                      "Magic" is a human terminology to label things which 'they don't understand how it could happen yet it happened'. In absolute reality there are no 'magic'.
                                      For example Virgin Birth?? What's magical about virgin birth? We now knew how it works...

                                        ah yes, but isn't God able to create things without having an explanation? Is he unable to break his own "laws?"

                                        There has been a lot of virgin birth. One was horus which preceded jesus. I wonder why the quran only mentions jesus and claims that it was a miracle.

                                        What are miracles? Aren't they magic according to your explanation of magic?

                                          He can, the relatively more correct terminology will be that He 'change the law'.. in which it's 'prophesied' shall be.. and possible..

                                          The Quran said it was a 'sign' (and not miracle).. it's a sign that you freaking apes on earth (read homo sapiens) doesn't know everything... and there is something bigger than you who are pulling the strings.. so you better watch your attitude..

                                          Miraculous and magical lies on the eye of the beholder... Example Christiano Ronaldo (CR7) and his magical and miraculous dribble.. that's a human expression of their 'shocking' and 'awesomeness' felling on 'how could he do that?'... Yet upon the eye of his coach or trainer that's not magical at all given they knew how CR7 trained and how he developed that skill over time..

                                          A female fertile homo sapiens being pregnant without coitus is not 'magical' or 'miraculous' for those who understand how pregnancy could take shapes. And as of today it's a 'commodity'... hardly 'magic' or 'miracles' at all.

                                          The same thing applied on those 'magician on stage'.. the people sees it as 'magic' or 'miracle' because they do not understand on how he/she could do that.. once they knew how he does it.. they would say it's not magical at all...
