I just assume He exists. We can't prove one way or the other, basically we just have to pick one and go from there. The "proof" we all seek comes through faith. You can't share it with anybody (here take some of my faith) But each individual who believes in Jesus as their savior "knows" that there is a God. It is quite obvious to them.

The ultimate paradoxal question:

If there is no God, where did the universe come from? Big Bang? Well what made it go boom? If there was indeed an original mass that blew up, where did that mass come from? How did it get there? And if that mass was there before the universe existed, then the universe had to exist before the big bang. So back to the question, where did it come from?

Over and over again. People will spen the next billion years trying to figure it out, when it is obvious that they CAN'T! So you see you are just rejecting one faith for another.
