Does God Exist?

Read this, then watch the video at the bottom.

Recent explosion of scientific knowledge continues to mount staggering evidence for the reality of God as being central to existence. Intelligent Design to the universe and life.

The Missing Element

The missing element in our recipe for existence is the reality of God. Ignoring the transcendence of God opens the door into an abyss of nihilism, where there is no song of hope but only the cry of despair. Life is simply not an accident of matter and time.

Consequences of a Godless Worldview

The absence of God in reality means the absence of goodness, truth, value, meaning, reason, life, and joy. The result an extremely limited paradigm for purpose and meaning which all humans have a deep hunger and need to experience.

God's Role

God's existence deserves our thoughtful attention. Philosopher Steven Evans affirms, “It contradicts no known facts and it makes sense of many things that would otherwise be inexplicable.” Like a massive jigsaw puzzle finally being completed, each piece of truth about God's role in life brings a dazzliing and beautiful picture into view.

God's Not Dead

Time Magazine reports, "In a quiet revolution in thought, an argument that hardly anyone could have foreseen only two decades ago, God is making a comeback." Thinkers who affirm the existence of God have left a legacy of arguments for us to reflect upon. Vast volumes of scientific discovery has only INCREASED logical necessity and a strong argument that God is not only alive but is the centerpoint of the universe.

Why Should There Be Anything At All?

In the opinion of many Christian philosophers, one of the most forceful arguments for the existence of God is the cosmic evidence. The existence of the universe is an undeniable reality. Why is there something rather than nothing?

The reality of the universe demands a verdict. Existential theologian Paul Tillich admits that, “the riddle of all riddles is the mystery that there is anything at all.”

Edward Sillem insists, “Man cannot find the ultimate explanation of his own being anywhere but in God himself.”

Even a radical skeptic such as David Hume admitted the force of this argument when he wrote, “I never asserted such an absurd proposition as that anything might arise without a cause.”

Origin of the Universe

The beginning of the universe has actually been measured. Although the measurement is indirect, it nonetheless teaches that there actually was a beginning.

The Apostle Paul, speaking to Greek philosophers of his day, argued, “The God Who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of Heaven and Earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. For in him we live and move and have our being.” (Acts 17:24,28 NIV)

Morality as Evidence

Our moral experience is compelling evidence that points to the existence of God. Morality is an essential part of our human fabric.

Emmanuel Kant declares, “Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.”

Does Morality Matter?

No human existence is possible without subscribing to moral values. We believe it is right to treat all people with equal right. The reality of our moral commitment and conscience is unavoidable.

We live in a moral universe. To reject moral absolutes is, in essence, to affirm that there are no real differences between Mother Teresa and Hitler. Our moral convictions are essential to our existence; without them, we would hardly qualify to be human.

As Henry M. Morris plainly explains, “Each individual… recognizes something in him that tells him that he ought to do the thing that is right morally and ought to shun the wrong.”

The center puzzle piece that gives meaning to life is the existence of God.
