It's easy to say and prove that God exists...

I am honestly interested to see this. Explanation/URL/something please.

Thomas Aquinas explains it better than I ever could. It deals with the cause and effect relationship between all existence. It insists that at the beginning of the universe there was a prime cause which caused the rest of the universe into happening.

That's easy to explain. What is difficult is how to explain that something which is uncaused (God) can cause a cause to happen. It goes by a few names; unmoved mover, first cause, and so on. The Summa Contra Gentiles explains this whole deal in a much more methodical way. Yes, it is a Catholic book, but there is very little Catholicism in it-- at least the first book. The point is, it is a rational explanation for how God must exist.

What is important to understand however, is that the nature of this universe and other things suggest that no thing is 100% certain. This includes the existence of God. So while I can say that God must exist, I mean it in the same context that I can say that the sun will rise tomorrow. There is a chance that it will not, but the probability is so unbelievably negliable that we don't even regard it with an answer.
