Question: How do we know God exists?

Answer: Man has the basic dilemma of either believing there is a God,

the Supreme Creator, or that man just happened (organic evolution).

 

The design implies a designer. David declared, "The heavens declare 

the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handywork" (ps. 19:1).

Truly, God has not left himself without witness (Acts 14: 17). As the scientist

Sir Isaac Newton observed, "...I see the earth at the right distance from the

sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.".

 

Science Reveals God

As a rule, when God and science are mentioned together, it is either in an

effort to disprove God or science. There are admittedly contradictions between

God and science, especially modern, pseudo science .. We are warned in

(I Tim. 6: 20, ). O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust,

avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of

what is falsely called knowledge--

 

In this material, though, we want to briefly examine how true science actually

reveals God and certain truths about God (as taught in God's word).

Of course, in an absolute sense, there is no empirical evidence (test tube)

that God exists. (It is also a fact, however, that "science" does not require

empirical proof for all scientific tenets.) For instance, "no man has seen God"

(I Jn. 4: 12). God is invisible and intangible (Rom. 1: 20, For since the creation

of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood

by the things that are made,even His eternal power and Godhead,

so that they are without excuse,

Jn. 4: 24) "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

. Hence, we approach God "by faith" (Heb. 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.

Gen. 1: 1). ¶ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

However, there is scientific proof that God exists (not to exclude faith):

a case in point being ,creation implies a Creator. Let us now notice some

revealing truths about God from science itself.

 

Biogenesis – attests to life begets life. This may sound shocking to some

but true science rejects the hypothesis that "life came from nothingness."

The scientific law of biogenesis requires life begetting life. According to the

Genesis' account of creation, God was the present and active force behind all creation

 

(Gen. 1: 3, ¶ Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.

v- 6, ¶ Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the

waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters."

v- 9, ¶ Then God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered

together into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so.

v-11, Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that

yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind,

whose seed is in itself, on the earth

v-14 ¶ Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the

heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for

signs and seasons, and for days and years;

v-20, ¶ Then God said, "Let the waters abound with an abundance

of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face

of the firmament of the heavens."

v-24, ¶ Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature

according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth,

each according to its kind"; and it was so.

v- 26, ¶ Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according

to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,

over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and

over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

v-29 ¶ And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields

seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit

yields seed; to you it shall be for food.

 

Notice the repeated occurrence of "and God said…." The particulars and

sequence of the Genesis' account agrees with established science Thus,

all who subscribe to the tenets of Darwinian evolution

(life came from nothingness) are not scientific.

 

The study of fossils – witnesses the validity of the Genesis' account.

When we refer to paleontology we are alluding to the fossil record.

If some were not so closed minded, they would appreciate that the biblical

account of creation and the science of paleontology are in harmony.

For instance, there is a mixture of the simple and the complex

 

(Gen. 1: 1, 2 " The earth was without form, and void; and darkness

was on the face of the deep"

v- 3- ¶ Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.

and earth with all the complexities, consummating in man, vs. 21, 27).

 

In the account of creation, life suddenly appears, fully formed

(Gen. 1: 20, 21, 24, 27, 28). Paleontology also teaches the sudden

introduction of mature life. There is no intimation of gradation, either in Genesis

or the fossil record. Life was created mature and ready to reproduce (ibid.). In

this same vein, the record in Genesis explains why there are no

transitional forms (a tadpole developing into man, i.e., all the progressive

developmental stages...). The fossil record also presents evidence consistent

with Genesis – no transitional forms.

 

Just think how the Genesis' flood would have and did impact the fossil record

(Gen. 7; 8). Of clean animals, of animals that are unclean, of birds,

and of everything that creeps on the earth,

 

You would have universal fossil evidence of life forms being suddenly fossilized,

often in stratum of dense mud, rock, and/or ice. Paleontology reveals fossil facts

that are consistent and corresponding to the effects of the Genesis' flood.

Indeed, there is undeniable paleontological evidence of severe geological,

atmospheric and hydrological changes to the earth – just as would have been

produced by such a great catastrophe as the flood described in Genesis

chapters seven and eight.

 

Thermodynamics – a running down process. In common parlance,

science indicates the universe did not evolve and continue to improve,

but rather the converse. To advance organic evolution is to contradict

this scientific second law of thermodynamics. The truth of the Bible is that

there is a "running down" of the universe

 

(Heb. 1: 10-12). They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow

old like a garment;

12 Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed.

But You are the same, And Your years will not fail."

 

The law of genetics – informs us of order. There is order and perpetuity

of life in the biblical account of creation. Notice how each was to produce

"after their own kind" (Gen. 1: 11, 21, 25) . Science does not identify God,

but it does necessarily imply God. A man, any man, or group of men, would

have been totally beyond known contemporary science, irreconcilably beyond,

I might add, (contemporary to the writing of Genesis) in setting forth all the

creation information resident in the Genesis' account. To believe that fallible man

could have  been responsible for the Genesis' record is unimaginably ludicrous!

 

Intelligent people , biogenesis tells us life begets life, paleontology confirms the

account in Genesis, thermodynamics points to creation rather than organic

evolution,and the science of genetics reveals some of the complexities and order

of the introduction of life and its propagation.

True science reveals the reality of God, but the Bible alone reveals the "person"

of God the Creator and his will

 

Do you believe in your creator ? If you do that gives you the power to become

a child of God. But you must

 

REPENT acts 17;30 "Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked,

but now commands all men everywhere to repent,

 

CONFESS rom 10;9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and

believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

 

BE BAPTIZED FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS  acts 2;38 Then Peter said to them,

"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for

the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
