“So, You Still Think God Is Real?”

The existence of God remains a matter of faith and for that reason, I have found it extremely difficult to prove Him to people who do not believe. When someone opposes even the possibility of there being a God, then any evidence you present to them will be rationalized or explained away. It’s like if they refuse to believe that people have walked on the moon, then no amount of information is going to change their thinking. Photographs of astronauts walking on the moon, interviews with the astronauts, moon rocks…all the evidence would be worthless, because they have already concluded that man just cannot go to the moon. But if only they could interpret science like I and a billion others do – through the lens of the word of God which presupposes the truth of Genesis 1-3.

Study science deep and long enough and it will force you to believe in God; the Alpha and Omega – because in my humblest of opinions, science can only go so far, and then of course, there is God – always has been. Even before I refer to the Good Book or science itself, it has always been as obvious as there being a designer behind every design – simple logical Maths; Full Stop!! Surely in its entirety – and in its orderly form might I add – the Oxford Dictionary wasn’t the result of some mysterious explosion in some print shop somewhere, was it now? Of course NOT!!! Even the electronic gadget you are reading this from is a result of some very well put together designs.

There is just too much evidence in the world (to include the actual creation of the world) to deny and ask if there is a God. Without God there is no adequate explanation of how the universe was created or to explain our purpose in life.

It’s impossible for evolution to account for the fact that a single cell could carry more data than all of the Encyclopaedia Britannica put together. An accidental creation being born with an accidental ability to overcome an unforeseeable predicament is evidence of a plan because such an arrangement would have to have involved a considerable, if not, vast amount of prior information. Look at the earth’s location; just the right distance from the sun. Talk about the temperature swings we encounter. If the earth were any further away from the sun, we’d all freeze. Any closer and we would all burn up. Even a fractional variance in its position to the sun would make life impossible. And then of course, there is the moon, its garavitational pull and ocean currents. If the moon were any closer to earth, it would exert a much stronger pull and we would get very extreme and stronger tides – not a good look at all.

How could all this be just a chance occurrence? Surely all this evidence (and so much more) points towards a supreme, supernatural and intelligent being – GOD!!!

It’s amazing however, just how many people are convinced that God is merely a fable and the lengths they will go to disprove that He is there. In the final analysis though, people deny God so that they can put their interests above Him, their Creator. Only a supernatural force such as God can explain the supernatural act of creation. Only a supernatural person such as God can make something out of nothing. Only God can breathe life to create life and be the creator of our own souls.

So next time you ask me; “Dude, SO YOU STILL THINK GOD IS REAL?” My answer will be the same as always; “Oh! yes dude; my God, THE ONE TRUE GOD, is very very real.” Happy New Year.
