I came across this website about two weeks ago when I was preparing something for our home cell group.
This by far is the best content I have found about the existence of God. An 8 step guide to proof that God exists.
To everyone else not believing that God exists, please have a look at these steps and leave your comments here on your believes, feelings and opinions.

For those who don't want to work through the process, here's the bottom line.
The Proof that God exists is that without Him you couldn't prove anything.
Note that the proof does not say that professed unbelievers do not prove things. The argument is that you must borrow from the Christian worldview, and a God who makes universal, immaterial, unchanging laws possible in order to prove anything.
This type of logical proof deals with ‘transcendentals’ or ‘necessary starting points,’ and the proof is called a ‘transcendental proof.’ Any contrary view to the God of Christianity being the necessary starting point for rationality is reduced to absurdity. You have to assume God in order to argue against Him. Only the Christian worldview can logically support rationality.
Denying the existence of God is not unbelief but an exercise in self-deception. You may know things, but you cannot account for anything you know. Arguing against God's existence would be on par with arguing against the existence of air, breathing it all the while. You use the universal, immaterial, unchanging laws of logic, mathematics, science, and absolute morality in order to come to rational decisions, but you cannot account for them. These laws are not the only way God has revealed himself to you, but they are sufficient to show the irrationality of your thinking, and expose your guilt for denying Him.
There is a reason that you deny the existence of God and it has nothing to do with proof. I can show this to you. Examine what your initial reaction was to the proof of God's existence offered on this website. Did you think that you could continue to deny God because you are not a scientist, or philosopher but 'Surely somewhere, sometime, a philosopher or scientist will come up with an explanation for universal, immaterial, unchanging laws apart from God?' Did you try to come up with an alternate explanation on your own? OR Did you even consider that the proof was valid?
Hoping that an alternate explanation for universal, immaterial, unchanging laws can someday be found apart from God, is a blind leap of faith, or wishful thinking. Isn't it interesting that this is exactly what professed unbelievers accuse Christians of?
Please examine the real reason why you are running from God. It is my prayer that God will open your eyes and change your heart so that you may be saved from your sin, embraced by His forgiving love, and come to know the peace which passes all understanding.

Can I ask though, what is a 'home cell group'?

divegeester has explained it well. Sunday services are still there, but the home cell session are normally during the week, for ex ours is on Wednesdays.

Originally posted by divegeesterI do read a lot, but barely find the content to hook me into finishing it.
You really should read more.
This was quite impressing to me and maybe if there is one person out there that agrees, then we are 2 😉
I am not on a level to argue the lecture of the author on the website given. ThinkOfOne has given us a breakdown of the content, although much was left out in the comment section about the site.

Originally posted by ThinkOfOneWell I certainly agree the facts are valid. It just makes sense to me. I think I am more open on a non-technical level which allows me to think that way. If you're technically looking at the facts the author of the site has given, you may find it difficult to agree with. This unfortunately is the same everywhere on earth. If people are not on the same level - they do not agree. This isn't at all bad.

I have to say that the home-cell group was also impressed - and it made sense to us all 😀
