Does God Exist?

Link to the source - http://www.the-daily-blessing.com/apologetics/Does_God_Exist.html


One of the biggest questions of all time: Does God exist? Many people tend to think that the Christian belief is contrary to science, but this could not be farther from the truth. If our universe has a Creator, science would be evident of that Creator's existence when such evidence is interpreted logically. The supernatural does not "blindly disregard all logic" as some atheists claim. In fact, the best way we can account for logical laws actually existing is to conclude that such rationality and absolutes are a reflection of the nature of a supernatural God.

While it is true that you cannot "prove" the existence of God with absolute certainty, this excuse is often very misleading. This does not mean that there is no evidence and no arguments for God which may make belief in God's existence very reasonable. Most of our knowledge cannot be "proven" with absolute certainty. Presenting an alternative explanation to God does not refute a probablistic theory just because it cannot be proven with absolute certainty. When someone says "There is no need for God because...", they are already demonstrating that they aren't being reasonable with their conclusions, because the existence of something does not depend on whether or not we see a need for it to exist. A reasonable conclusion in an argument is based off of what is logically most probable, which has nothing to do with seeing a "need" for something to exist, nor does it have anything to do with how difficult or silly it may seem to believe in the supernatural for some people.

Yes! Logically speaking when I think of the universe (planets, stars, etc.) there has to be a God. We live in a world were disorder is increasing but yet the planets do not get off course and lets say "crash into one another". Reading about apologetics gives me more confidence to defend Christ.

I always point back to our friend Darwin and this quotef rom his book

Charles Darwin himself realized that it seemed incredible that evolutionary processes had to explain human vision. He said:

'To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.'1

I believe that the point of this is that because God's existence isn't absolutely certain doesn't make a good argument for Him not to exist?

Let me know.
