Does God Exist? Is there evidence for the existence of God?

The essay I chose to conclude my print sources was "Does God Exist?" on the gotquestions.org website. The main principle it brings to the table is: one cannot prove or disprove the existence of God; it is an act of absolute and complete faith. To validate this claim it states, “If God so desired, He could simply appear and prove to the whole world that he exits. But if He did that there would be no need for faith” (1). The essay, then, iterates the fact that this conclusion does not infer, totally, that there is no proof of God. An exegesis of what it states is that God can be proven just by looking at our environment, the wonders and magnificence of the skies, Earth, and water. The beauty and design of our planet is too sophisticated to have happened by random chance. It uses the contention that throughout human history, various cultures and civilizations have believed in at least some form of divine quintessence. This then deduces that someone or something must have consummated this feeling inside our souls. It is an endless void that must be filled with God’s presence to satisfy its unrelenting hunger. The article then goes to further its point by other arguments already acknowledged in previous writings. It’s very circulatory evidence that is ambiguous and relatively confusing in basis. In layman’s terms, the evidence is heavily repeated by all pro-Christian sources, and has no sound, raw data to support its conclusion.
As I’ve stated the evidence is circulatory, and undergoes a cycle of echoing undertones. I do agree with the underlying basis of the essay, though. There is not much evidence supporting either side, and it is by faith whether or not someone believes in God. Faith, I know, is not the most optimum foundation for a belief system, but it is a heart-felt tenet that needs just consideration. Stating this fact, faith needs just as much attention as any other evidence in my hypothesis. It should not be overlooked as a false assumption or a blind surmise. It is, indeed, one of the essential essences central to the human. I do also believe that there is a “void” or gap in our souls that cannot be filled with secular, materialistic commodities. No amount of wealth, power, or sensual delights can satisfy this all-consuming anomaly.
