The Bible proclaims the existence of God as the Creator of the universe, the one and only true God. It describes Him with awe-inspiring attributes: as the Creator, He wields unlimited power over His creation; as the Organizer of time and space, He transcends change and remains eternal; as the Source of knowledge, He is all-knowing; and as an Artist, He delights in and deeply loves His masterpiece—His creation and specifically mankind. Far from being a distant deity, God is personally involved in the care and well-being of the world He made.
Evidence for the Existence of God
1. Cosmological Evidence (Cause and Effect)
Picture a vast row of dominoes in a grand hall. As you enter, you see them falling one after another in an intricate chain reaction. Similarly, life begins for each of us within a world governed by cause and effect—a “domino effect” of actions, reactions, growth, and change. If the universe is a grand chain of dominoes, logic dictates that something outside the chain must have pushed the first domino. That “something” must be fundamentally different from the dominoes themselves, as it cannot be part of the same sequence. The Bible reveals that God is that unique “Prime Mover,” the uncaused cause who initiated everything.
2. Teleological Evidence (Complexity by Design)
Now imagine an alien visiting Earth and discovering a smartphone in a forest. Would it conclude that the phone formed by atoms randomly coming together over millions of years? Or would it assume a skilled designer created it with purpose and precision? The Bible asserts the latter, and even more so for the infinitely greater complexity of the universe and life itself. The intricate design of the human body—such as the brain, eyes, or DNA—remains so sophisticated that even the most advanced scientists have yet to fully comprehend it. Just as the smartphone points to an intelligent designer, the complexity and beauty of creation point undeniably to the ultimate Designer and Creator—God.
3. Moral Law Evidence (A Universal Standard)
Consider a group of children arguing over a game. Inevitably, one will cry out, “That’s not fair!” This innate appeal to fairness reflects an ingrained sense of right and wrong. Where did this universal moral compass come from? Christians believe it is God who has written His law upon human hearts, embedding in us a deep understanding of good and evil. Lying, stealing, and cheating are universally condemned, while virtues like kindness, honesty, and love are celebrated. If we were to discover a robot programmed to value kindness and gentleness, we would rightly conclude that its designer valued those traits. Similarly, the moral wiring of humanity reveals the values of our Creator—a God who treasures love, justice, and goodness.
