I have always adhered to the adage which says: To See is to Believe.
Yet there is no way to determine really if God exists by seeing is there? Yet I remain standing in my belief that God exists for the simple reason that I see with my own eyes the empirical evidence of such.
Meanwhile, those who claim to be rational beings expect to see an empirical evidence in establishing an existence of anything or anyone for that matter.
What is empirical evidence?

Taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_research
Empirical evidence (the record of one's direct observations or experiences) can be analyzed quantitatively or qualitatively. [^ Goodwin, C. J. (2005). Research in Psychology: Methods and Design. USA: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.]

It states that Empirical Evidence is a record of one's direct observations or experiences. Therefore, The Bible can be used as an Empirical Evidence. Remember that the Scriptures is not only written by one man, it is better to have more than one witness for an assertion to be made more credible. Now let's see what statements the authors of the scriptures have to say about their observations:
According to Moses:
Deu 4:12 "And the LORD spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of the words, but saw no form; [you] only [heard] a voice. [NKJV]
Apostle Paul wrote:
Col 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. [NKJV]
1Ti 1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. [NKJV]
Two people have observed and wrote that God is invisible.
Now open your eyes and look around you. Do you see God?
Therefore God exists!
Now if there be any god you can actually see, this is not God.
