Answer 1

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!

Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!

Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?

My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:

Do you know how to play safe?
Non-believer's case:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...

Believer's case:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...

Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

Answer 2

Thomas Aquinas had some proofs for the existence of God. I can only remember a couple of them off the top of my head.

The first is that science tells us that something cannot come out of nothing. Therefore the universe could not come into being by itself. There had to have been a creator.

The second is that everything that is in motion was put in motion by something else. Nothing can put itself into motion. The universe we see contains billions and billions of moving objects. What made the first object move?

The universe may have been created in a "big bang" but where did the material come from and how did the bang start? Science can't answer that.

Non-religious scientists won't admit it, but they live by a kind of faith: they believe everything can be explained by science. When something that is "impossible" actually does happen, they deny it happened and cling to their faith as tightly as believers do.

Answer 3

Perhaps you are referencing Aquinas' five insights from natural reason that might be used to demonstrate God's existence? Aquinas would assert that the Trinity can only be known by a divine revelation. For further insights into how the human intellect makes a prudential judgment about such things as the existence of God, consider reading "The Grammar of Assent" by John Henry Newman.

Answer 4

Reason alone more or less proves there is no god.

There is no need to invoke god to explain creation, and we have explanations that go vastly beyond what the bible offers on our universe.

Design is an illusion. You suppose there is design because there is complexity, but there are many systems that produce complexity from simple rules - evolution is but one of these.

Answer 5

to understand why "God does no longer exist" might want to be a valid clinical statement, you would possibly want to understand what the statement skill interior the context of technology. even as a scientist says "God does no longer exist," they mean something resembling even as they say "aether does no longer exist," "psychic powers do no longer exist," or "existence does no longer exist on the moon." All such statements are casual short-hand for a extra tricky and technical statement: "this alleged entity has no position in any clinical equations, performs no function in any clinical factors, won't be able for use to foretell any activities, does no longer describe any element or rigidity that has yet been detected, and there are not any fashions of the universe in which its presence is both required, effective, or sensible." What might want to be maximum glaring about the extra technically precise statement is that it is not absolute. It does no longer deny continually any plausible existence of the entity or rigidity in question; instead, this is a provisional statement denying the existence of any relevance or truth to the entity or rigidity in accordance with what we presently understand. non secular theists might want to correctly be quick to grab upon this and demand that it demonstrates that technology won't be able to "instruct" that God does no longer exist, yet that calls for far too strict of a known for what it skill to "instruct" something scientifically.

Answer 6

Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:


Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.


Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Answer 7

the two are incompatible, since to accept god exists rquires that all intelligence, reason and logic be abandoned.
instead you need to have your head in the sand. and develop a sense of descriminatory belief without proof.

Answer 8

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD, “ Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool."

It is quite possible. But do you want to HEAR the answer? Or do you want to be like bookish and just say "no"? Are you willing to do the legwork to find out?

Remember, however, that finding Him is one thing. Getting in contact with Him is another. Salvation can only be obtained through faith that He is.

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Answer 9

some prefer the big bang; a nothing explosion that
creates everything. what started the big bang?
the TRIUNE GOD did!

Answer 10

looking at "creation", seeing that you can't fully explain it, supposing that "god" does explain it... it is the last step that seems unreasonable to me. god there is just a stand-in for human ignorance. it is not useful.
