Six Straight-Forward Reasons To Believe That God Exists

At EveryStudent.com Marilyn Adamson provides six reasons to believe in God. Click on the image below to read more…

Here are the six reasons that Adamson presents:

1. The complexity of our planet points to a deliberate Designer:
   • Earth contains the right mixture of gases to sustain life.
   • The Earth is located the right distance from the sun.
   • The Earth contains water, which is uniquely suited to life. Water is a universal solvent and freezes from the top down so fish can live in the winter.
2. The complexy of the human body points to a deliberate Designer:
   • The human brain processes more than a million messages a second.
   • The eye can distinguish among seven million colors.
3. The universe had a start – what caused it?
   • Scientists now say that the universe began with one enormous explosion of energy and light, which they call the “Big Bang.” Scientists have no explanation for what caused that explosion.
4. The universe operates by uniform laws of nature. Why does it?
   • Why is nature so mathematically based?
     • Gravity remains consistent.
     • The earth rotates in the same 24 hours.
     • The speed of light doesn’t change.
5. The DNA code contains vast information and programs a cell’s behavior
   • Every cell of our bodies contains a very detailed instruction code, much like a miniature computer program.
6. We know God exists because he pursues us and wants us to know him.
   • Adamson was a former atheist who couldn’t understand why the topic of God weighed so heavily on her mind. She concluded that it was God who was pressing the issue.
7. Jesus Christ is the clearest, most specific picture of God revealing himself to us.
   • Buddha, Muhammad, Confucius and Moses all identified themselves as teachers or prophets. None of them ever claimed to be God. Jesus did. Jesus backed up the claim by healing people, raising people from the dead, creating food out of thin air, walking on top of a lake, and commanding a raging storm to stop. Jesus, himself, is evidence for the existence of God because he was God in the flesh.

Evidence Good Enough To Convince An Atheist

In this video Lee Stobel interviews Dr. J. P. Moreland of Liberty University, who explains why noted atheist and intellectual Anthony Flew began to believe in God.

Dr. J.P. Moreland shares why former atheist/intellectual Antony Flew began to believe in God. Moreland indicates there were three overwhelming strands of evidence that proved God existed:

1. The “Big Bang” scientific theory indicates that space, time, and matter had a beginning
2. There are at least 50 constants of nature, such as mass of a proton, charge of an electron, the force of gravity in the universe. If any of these 50 were different by one billionth of a percentage point, life could not exist in the universe.
3. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence in the universe seeks any data that provides information and therefore indicates intelligence. The number one discovery of biology in the 20th Century was that living organisms here on Earth have cells filled with such data  (DNA), rich in information.  Information indicates intelligence and an Intelligent Designer.

Of course Christians have always known that God exists.   It’s obvious if you open your eyes.  In  Romans 1:20 it says, “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.” You can clearly see that God exists. How else could the tiniest cells and most distant stars get there?
