All three.  Yes there are a lot of hoax out there.  Some are done by something we have no answer for yet.  There are great difference between the ones done by humans and the ones that are not

It has been proven a hoax

The default position for all claims is "false", for the simple reason that there are an infinite number of potential false claims, but only a finite number of potential true claims.  For trivial claims, trivial evidence is sufficient.  But for outrageous claims, outrageous evidence is required to overcome the appropriate skepticism.\n\nUntil gods are proven to exist, it is assumed they don't.  \n\nAre you also an aleprechaunist, or are you willing to admit the concept of leprechauns is ridiculous and reject it outright unless sufficient evidence is found?\n\nDepending on the definition of god you choose, there may be proof of the nonexistence of that deity, but in general, it's not practical to prove a negative.\n\nIf there were any gods, and they cared whether or not you believed in them, don't you think they'd make it obvious instead of depending on ancient rumors?

There is no proof that a god exists which actually holds up (all of the ones that people have come up with so far have been knocked down).\n\nThere are however disproofs of the existance of some types of god which still hold.

Da Vinci *code* is more accurately an deluded absurdist lie, a sacrilegious acid trip, based upon ZERO evidence, and so acknowledged by its own author, as he DID list it as what it IS: FICTION!\n\nThere are many in this world who make every attempt to discount God, or put themselves in His place, to attempt to belittle those of faith.  But God IS GOD, the mere mortals HE CREATED have ZERO power to make Him more or LESS than what he IS.  That which is ETERNAL FACT is NEVER FICTION:  one can declare that ONE IS ZERO, for example, but the mere saying of it will NEVER make it SO.\n\nIn general it is beneficial to guard what you read or watch, because once you have put the information IN your head, to mix with everything already there, it is IMPOSSIBLE to simply *delete* the inaccurate/absurd information from truthful information of merit.\n\nBest wishes.

Are you really going to believe any answer that anyone gives on this one?\n\nOr are you just trying to say that miracles don't happen?

God never said that. There's no such thing as God. Someone wrote that while most likely high on weed and thought it would be a good laugh.. 'ha ha, that'll scare the crap out of them, fools' ... Unfortunately, he didn't realise at the time people would take the fairy story book so literally so the jokes actually on him.

What I find mind-boggling is how Christians can so easily dismiss the existence of fairies and such, but won't even entertain the possibility that their god is not real. Their god, who has absolutely nothing to differentiate him from the rest.

It would mean a lot if people without a vested interest in promoting religion had recorded anything related to those miraculous events.\n\nBut, as it is, the only "witnesses" are those who were promoting the "belief." And, as such, aren't credible.

It would be more correct to say that atheists do not think God is real.

"Man, as a curious accident in a backwater, is intelligible: his mixture of virtues and vices is such as might be expected to result from a fortuitous origin. But only abysmal self-complacency can see in Man a reason which Omniscience could consider adequate as a motive for the Creator. The Copernican revolution will not have done its work until it has taught men more modesty than is to be found among those who think Man sufficient evidence of Cosmic Purpose."  \n\nThe most ridiculous concept ever perpetrated by H.Sapiens is that the lord god of creation, Shaper and Ruler of the Universes, wants the sacharrine adoration of his creations, that he can be persuaded by their prayers, and becomes petulant if he does not recieve this flattery. Yet this ridiculous notion, without one real shred of evidence to bolster it, has gone on to found one of the oldest, largest and least productive industries in history.

Yes, there is seriously a God.  The fact that you are asking this question is proof of that.

Yes, it's a hoax and complete satire.  It's making fun of fundamentalist Christian groups.

the truth is we are fighting over something so unbelievably stupid ! no one knows who god is !how can we say one god is real and the other is not ! do we have any evidence ? no ! because the book tells us ! how do we know the book is for real ! come on people ! get real ! stop fighting over something we have no clue about ! just live your lives to the the best of your ability !there must be a creator out there but who he is we don't know !!!

There is no "actual" proof of there really being a god. People are just so fixated on "god" that people in turn believe that he and/or she is real.

first we have to know are we a belivers or not ??? becouse if yes have many concepts but if no the is nothing to answer \nlets say it is yes so my answer will be like this way\n       The question of God's existence has preoccupied man's mind for many centuries. Those who believe in God seem to agree that the limited finite human intelligence cannot prove the existence of the infinite boundless God. It can only illustrate or demonstrate his existence to the satisfaction of the curious human mind. Those who deny God claim to rely on science, \nphilosophy, or special theories of knowledge. Their arguments are sometimes inapplicable, sometimes irrelevant, always complex, and often incomprehensible. However, the developed mind will find its way to Allah. Failure to find the way does not mean that there is no way. Denial of reality does not make it unreal. \n\n       As we look around in our environments, we see that every family has a head: every school has a principal, every city or town has a mayor; every province or state has a premier/governor; and every nation has a head of state. Moreover, we know beyond doubt that every beautiful art is the creation of some great artist. All this is obvious, yet it does not satisfy the hunger for knowledge and the curiosity of man about the great things in the world. One often wonders at the beauties of nature with its scenic charm and marvels; the almost endless horizons in the sky and their far-reaching expansions; the ceaseless succession of day and night in the most orderly manner; the course of the sun, the moon, and the great stars; the world of animate and inanimate objects, the continuous process and evolution of man, generation after generation. One often wonders because one would like to know the maker and maintainer of all these things with which we live and which we immensely enjoy. Can we find an explanation of the great universe? Is there any convincing interpretation of the secret of existence? We realise that no family can function properly without a responsible head, that no city can prosperously exist without sound administration, and that no state can survive without a chief of some kind. We also realise that nothing comes into being on its own. Moreover we observe that the universe exists and functions in the most orderly manner, and that it has survived for hundreds of thousands of years. Can we, then, say that all this is accidental and haphazard? Or can we attribute the existence of man and the whole world to mere chance?\n\n      If man were to come into being by  accident or by sheer chance, his entire life would be based on chance, and his whole existence would be meaningless, and no rational being would leave his existence at the mercy of fluctuating chance. Every reasonable human being tries to make his life as meaningful as possible and set for himself a model of conduct according to some design. Individuals, groups and nations do plan their course of action. And every careful plan produces some desired effects. The fact of the matter is that man does engage in planning of one sort or another, and can appreciate the merits of good planning. Yet man represents only a very small portion of the great universe. And if he can make plans and appreciate the merits of planning, then his own existence and the survival of the universe must also be based on a planned policy. This means that there is a Designing Will behind our material existence, and that there is a Unique Mind in the world to bring things into being and keep them moving in order. The marvellous wonders of our world and the secrets of life are too great to be the product of random accident or mere chance. In the world, then there must be a Great Force in action to keep everything in order.\n\n       In the beautiful nature there must be a Great Artist who creates the most charming pieces of art and produces everything for a special purpose in life. This Force is the strongest of all forces, and thi
