WHY IS IT DIFFICULT TO PROVE THE EXISTENCE OF GOD

Most debates on the existence of the Almighty are based on the inability of theists to provide proof of the existence.

This I agree is difficult. Most of our beliefs are either based on what is always being considered as the acceptable truth or on personal experiences which point out to the existence.

Personal experiences are unique and although a small incident like getting cured of cancer when all hope is lost or unexpectedly meeting someone who helps you through a crisis may be a big event for you, for the non believer, it is just fluke/ chance or coincidence.

There are many events in everyday life which are difficult to explain through science. How events tie up to bring success where it is least expected and how worship alone makes things happen are easy to be pooh poohed and treated as a matter of probability but that may be for someone not involved. For the person involved it is God even when he does not appear in front of us.

If God did not exist why do atheist try so hard to prove it. It should be acceptable to all if there was proof.

Produce it my dear friends or let us live with our faith and belief.

This reminded me of my comment a year or so back (http://sanjaymishra001.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2008-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&updated-max=2009-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=1)
Look at GOD a bit differently. What we do when we try to tune our tv tuner card to catch a particular tv channel. we try our best and then say that the channel itself is not coming proper. Similary our eye and mind jointly is trying to tune to the GOD's channel but alas it is not receptive enough ( or does not have enough bandwidth) to catch the sufficiently clear picture of HIM. It is here our religion comes in: Hinduism,Sikhism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Sufism etc. They say in there own way but the ultimate aim is to gain enough bandwidth and become receptive to that wave. Those who got are called saint; others are still trying.

Hi Sanjay,
That is a very nice way of putting it.
Religions as TV Tuner cards.
Thanks for the thought.
Best regards,
