SMUCKY proving God exists

With the SMUCKY youth group considering the simple question: How do we know that God exists? I went to the powers of the Internet and YouTube and discovered an earnest and impassioned argument by Sean, accounting for the intricacies of the time-space continuum.

There was also the perplexingly fruity demonstration of how bananas prove that God exists.

And the outright satirical: how spittle and the Moonwalk defy gravity, thus disproving scientific inquiry.

The point of these clips being that there is no trick answer that applies to every single person. We need to find our own answer and reasoning why we think God may, or may not, exist. Whether it's the existence of time, bananas or dripping saliva, near-death experiences or the sense of community worship, we have some self-discoveries ahead of us.

We don't know that God exists. That's why we need faith. If there was proof, then our beliefs would not be a matter of choice and personal decision. As always, there are more questions than answers.
