how can you look at the beauty of this earth, and universe and say that there is not a God?

Answer 1

I agree with you from the most tiny flower with so much color, and the awesome colors of the butterflies along with such a variety of everything.

Even with the life sustaining earth lost, and this one our burial ground or the weapon that might cause us death, this life short and full of troubles, is why we have the promise of a resurrection.
The promise of a new heaven and a new earth with the coming Jesus and his world without end Eph.2:7; 3:21; John 3:16;
Such a wonderful plan to save the offsprings of Adam.
Few people before me tried to be worth it Heb.11:1-40; Heb.12:1,2; They believed and passed it on down the line that they trusted God John 17:3,5,24; as our Lord and savior does.
Matt.22:37-40; He gave us the first and great commandment, to 1Cor.2:9;
Matt.6:9-13; He gave us the Lord's prayer. Rom.5:8-11; He loved us first.
Jesus was crucifies and ascended. Acts 2:27-35; We wait for separation of holu and unholy angels, and the sheep from the goat.
John 14:13-15,26,28; 16:23,26 and told us to pray in Jesus name.
Matt.3:16,17; 16:16:17; John 20:17 to our God and his God to our father and his.
Col.1:15-17; Rev.3:14;

Answer 2

Have you not also witnessed the tsunami of 2 years ago? Last years Pakistani earthquake? Deaths from starvation and famine due to drought? Hurricane Katrina (and others)? Vast areas of dead ocean, where no life can survive? Malaria? How can you look on all these evils and assume that there is a loving God?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What you look at in wonder, others see as threat. From above a hurricane is beautiful. From below, terrifying. To watch a lion take down a gazelle is gorey and brutal, but to her cubs, it is loving kindness.

You suffer from a narcissistic perspective, that what you see everyone else sees. It is neither true nor helpful to you. It separates you from others when you cannot acknowledge and hopefully empathize with their experience.

This is how I can look at the earth and universe and find no reason for the existence of a god.

Answer 3

The beauty of this universe isn't conclusive proof that God exists, but rather evidence that supports an intelligent designer. The fact that the universe is beautiful makes evolution unlikely rather than impossible.

Answer 4

The beauty of the earth doesn't suggest a creator. As for the universe, the sheer size of it suggests that if there is a god he went to a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Answer 5

I think it sometimes takes having some personal experiences which are at times simply beyond human explanation to really admit that God exists if one doubts His existence. After having such an experience, one is able to see things differently including simply admiring the beauty and wonders of this mysterious world in which we live in.

Answer 6

because looking at the earth is not a logical argument for the existence of god, it only proves that our world is beautiful and amazing. If Mars had a giant "Made by God" stamp on it, then it would be a LOT better evidence.

Answer 7

To admire the beauty and design in nature and deny the existence of a Great Designer is as illogical as admiring a magnificent painting and at the same time denying the existence of the artist who transformed a blank canvas into a masterpiece.

“His invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s [mankind’s] creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they [unbelievers] are inexcusable.” (Romans 1:20)

Answer 8

How can you look at the diversity of life and say that there is only one god?

How can you look at all of the sickness and suffering and say that there is a god and that it is good?

How can you look at the damage cause by earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and volcanoes and say the god cares?

How can you know about all of the starving children that have never harmed anyone and say that God loves them?

It's all a matter of faith. If you have it you see the good (beauty) if you don't you see the bad (starving children, forest fires, etc.) It's all a matter of perspective.

Answer 9

Very simple.
There isn't a single, credible shred of evidence to support the existence of your magic sky-pixie, that's why.
And while we're on the subject, tell us why the world is imperfect, but god is perfect. You DO realize that perfection cannot create imperfection right?
Right?

Answer 10

I agree; all the ugliness of the world, WE have caused, it wasn't there originally. another thing, I accept that some people don't believe, but why do they have to be nasty about it? Well, what goes around comes around...
