Is There A God? |
|
This is one of the biggest questions that has ever been asked. People have many different views on God, and if God really exists or not. This article will prove that God does indeed exist and it will answer a couple of hard objections that try and question the existence of God. |

| Introduction To God |
| God has been in existence before humans or anything else was.
(John 1:1-4) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2) The same was in the beginning with God.
3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Humans were made therefore God has to be in-existence because all things were made by Him (John 1:3) and if there was no God then there would be no you, or anything else! You can see a list of some of the things that God created in Genesis ch. 1(all), ex. the Heavens and the earth(ch. 1:1), great whales(ch. 1:21), light(ch. 1:3), and everything that creepth on the earth(ch. 1:25). |
| Creation |
| The universe and the things in it have been created with such precision that it couldn't have
just happened by accident or just fell into place, there must of been a creator/ designer.
The universe is huge and we humans barely even scratched the surface. The distance between the
earth and the sun is over 9 millions miles and the next nearest star "Proxima Centaur"
after the sun is 4.3 light-years(1 light-year= 5.88 million million miles) away from the earth.
The universe is created so precisely that if the earth was moved just 10% closer to the sun (about 10 million miles) we would all burn to death, if the earth was moved 10% away from the sun we would all freeze to death. That's some aspects of creation but all of creation proclaims the glory of God, (Psalm 19:1) The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. (Psalm 89:12) The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. (Psalms 148{all}) and proves that God really does exists. |
| Miracles |
| Another point that shows God must exist is the evidence of miracles, an example of this would be someone gets healed from a incurable disease ex. HIV or AIDS. There is no cure for those types of sicknesses so how does some people ex. Magic Johnson get completely healed from them? It must be God, there is no other way. |
| Science |
| Even science states that: living creatures must come from other living creations, and living creatures must have a living parent(s),(Ian Johnston). Therefore since we're alive someone would have had to create us, and that someone was God. God is our Heavenly Father who made us in His image. (Genesis 1:26-29) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. |
| Difficult Objections |
| /* These objections & answers are from www.carm.org (see bottom of page for exact URL). */
1) If God exists He would make himself clearly known to me. Answer: It is not logically necessary that if God exists He must make Himself known to any individual. There is no "must" or "ought" or "would" to it as required by an atheist. If God exists He can do what He wants whether it is to remain undetected or detected to anyone.2) If everything needs a creator, then who or what created God? Answer: This question is logically problematic. If everything needs a creator, than no matter what exists, it must have been created. Furthermore, to be created means that someone or something had to create it. But then, who created the creator and so on? Logically, this would mean there would be an infinite regression of creators and we would never be able to find the first, uncaused cause since, by definition (the questions says that "everything needs a creator") there wouldn't be any uncaused cause.By definition, the Christian God never came into existence; that is, He is the uncaused cause (Psalm 90:2). He was always in existence and He is the one who created space, time, and matter. This means that the Christian God is the uncaused cause and is the ultimate creator. This eliminates the infinite regression problem. But some may ask, "But who created God?" But the answer is that by definition He is not created; He is eternal. He is the One who brought time, space, and matter into existence. Since the concept of causality deals with space, time, and matter, and since God is one who brought space, time, and matter into existence, the concept of causality does not apply to God since it is something related to the reality of space, time, and matter. Since God is before space, time, and matter, the issue of causality does not apply to Him. |
