Richard Swinburne, a professor of philosophy at Oxford University, invoked probability theory to support the belief that Jesus was resurrected from the dead. For his formula to work, he had to assume that the gospel accounts of the crucifixion were genuine and accurately reported. If Swinburne's proof, that Jesus really was resurrected on the third day, was valid then he had probably also proven the existence of God.

God's existence cannot be proved but can only be assumed?

That is correct. The existence of God, in fact of any god, can not be proven by any scientific means. His existence can only be assumed, by those who wish to do so. It is sometimes claimed that the Bible proves the existence of God, because to Bible tells us about God, and the Bible is God's word so it must be true. Of course, that is a circular argument that resolves as an assumption, not proof.

What is Pascal's proof for belief in the existence of God?

Blaise Pascal has been described as a theistic humanist. He recognised that the existence of God can not be proved, but thought it wise to believe, just in case:Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists. Although unable to prove the existence of God, he also thought that humans had a spiritual need that could only be filled by belief:There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.


Were you created by God or through evolution?

This question has no known answer. The existence of God cannot be proved. You either believe in God or you don't. However, it's much easier to show the existence of evolution. So, many people would feel that evolution is the answer. It's likely that a lot of people who believe in God also believe in evolution. They are not necessarily mutually exclusive. However, there will also be a body of people who feel everything was created by God.
