Even though I believe in God I find nothing wrong with atheism. Because many atheists have more heart than believers. The bottom line for me is LOVE. No love, and there is no point in living. Love is what makes a person happy in whatever form it takes, be it with a person, place or thing or ultimately within one's self.
The reason there is so much discord in the world is because people lack love in their lives and underestimate its importance. We need food and water to survive and we also need love to grow in a positive direction. Without love, one grows in a negative direction. Its that simple. Because love is not a physical necessity for survival, it is deemed "optional". Big mistake.
What I said is just my own opinion and can be cast aside if you disagree. So I present you with two
scientific facts for the existence of God.
1) NDE's can no longer be dismissed as "imagination" or the brain's lack of oxygen etc. There are scientific studies that have been done that prove that NDE's are real. This science is yet to be accepted in the general scientific community just as many scientific facts and studies were slow to be assimilated in history.
2) Scientists have not been able to prove that "consciousness" is created by the brain. There is no link anyone can show to prove this. This "consciousness" is what seems to carry over after death in NDE's. The data that was in the brain seems relegated to a very small role to zero during an NDE. Most people who have NDE"s do not want to come back to this life because they experience love and peace on an extraordinary level not known on Earth. The last words from Steve Jobs as he died were "Oh Wow,Oh Wow,Oh Wow".
So if consciousness is not created by the brain then it is a connection to the metaphysical and the brain is our connection to the physical. This alone would prove that we are more than physical beings or that we only have physical properties.
