Okay, so I don't really have proof that God exists. Not scientific proof, anyhow. Here's the thing - nobody is going to get a picture of God on their iPhone and I wouldn't count on God opening up the clouds and declaring to the world "Here I am, look at me."
Instead, God has chosen to reveal himself to us through revelation, generally through creation and more specifically the Bible. I know some people will come along and demand hard scientific proof - saying they won't believe in God if he won't give them proof. I just don't think that threatening God is the wisest path to take. If you don't believe in God, would you really want to believe in a god that would do whatever anyone demanded?
When considering God we would all do well to remember the words of the Lord Jesus and: "fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell" (Matt. 10:28). I should quickly follow that with the words from Paul in Romans 13, which say: "Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you." If you want to live without fear of God,then do what is right in his sight and he will commend you for it.
