Default Can you prove that God exists?

God- A supreme being (one only), to whom we ordinary beings owe our existence, but whose own existence depends upon nothing else. Supreme in goodness, knowledge (omniscience), and power (omnipotent).

Can anyone offer proof that God, as described above, exists?
I am not asking for someone's belief in God, I am asking for an arguement or example that proves his/her existence.

If God is everything that you say he is, he would prove your existance.

That's why they call it faith...you don't have to see it or have proof...you've just got to know it, feel it...

That's the thing... You can't prove God exists, but you can't prove he doesn't either... So it's all a question of what you believe...

geckopelli,
The Good (in relation to God)- all motives, wills, acts, and commands of God are, as a matter of fact, the right things to do. It is not possible for God to do wrong things.

SvgGrdnBeauty et al,
I am not talking about faith. I have faith in the Pittsburgh Steelers winning the superbowl this year, I believe they will. However, this doesn't prove anything, except my wishful thinking.

rain_in_summer,
I don't have to prove he doesn't exist. If someone tells me that they have a twenty legged cat that flies through solid walls and can recite the Gettsyburg Address backwards in ancient greek I don't have to prove that it dosen't exist, they have to prove that it does.
Otherwise, it is proper, logical, and consitant for me to disbelieve as I have never seen, touched, or encountered a known case of these things occuring either seperately or together in one being.

MidnightMoonlight,
Telling me that you have found God is no proof nor does it exclude the neccesity of offering proof, even if you have. People are constantly relateing experiences, which they believe are genuine. So, someone could say that they have seen a ghost (a dead mother perhaps) that tells them to do this or that, and offer their experience as a logical reason for their act. Am I to believe their tale? Are all human experiences true and accurate? If one example of an inaccurate human experience has occured, can another?
Should I go looking for this dead person's ghost?
A waste of time.

I see god everyday.
I hear god, smell god, live in god every single day.
There is no difference between an artist and his expression, between a musician and his music, between lighting and it's flash.
All that is is just an expression, a movement a work of art.
And we are all god.
We are an expression, a symphony of god's will.

If god exists or not is bagatelle, for those who believe he does, he does to them and to those that do not he does not for them.

God's existence is the wrong question, what god IS is the right one.

And god is his expression, us.
