Does God Exist?
People have different ideas about God. Some believe that God is an unknown super being. Others believe that He is one of the gods and goddesses in mythology. Others believe that God is just a legend – beyond ascertaining whether He exists or not.
Does God really exist?
If we base our answer on physical evidence, our answer is easily refutable. And so with those based on the Holy Scripture. God is a Spirit – He is invisible, and beyond experimentation.
To atheists, God does not exist. According to them, the universe came into being by itself through what they call as the Big Bang Theory, and life on Earth evolved from a one cell organism by chance.
To believers, God does exist. To them, He is more than invisible, and He is more real than all other realities. The heavens, the stars, the sun, the sea, the air, the trees, the flowers, and the mountains bespeak the plethora of concrete evidences beyond refutation that God really exist.
But what do these evidences that the above creatures show to support God’s existence?
Let us take the flower as an example. Flowering plants, fruit-bearing trees, and some vegetables do bear flowers at various seasons. One is amazed and wonder how simple plants bloom and trees blossom precisely on time in due season. Wonder of wonders, they always infallibly come on their pristine original colors, and in myriad varieties. Our modern super computer cannot duplicate them. Only God can make flowers!
Let us take another example: the Earth where we live. This fortunate planet in our solar system is blessed with life. Scientists believe that this is the only heavenly body in the millions of solar systems in the Milky Way galaxy that has life on it.
We learn from astronomy, that the stars are suns, and planets revolve around them. They are not only suspended in the air but they travel along orbits without swerving, and in precise accuracy.
What holds them, you may ask? Gravity, the physicists said. What is gravity? It is the force exerted by bodies toward each other. Where does the force emanate and how does it operate? Nuclear physicists can explain it to us clearly up to the core of the nucleus of every atom of matter – in the interaction of electrons, protons, neutrons, and positrons, and even elucidate them clearly through recent discoveries in quantum physics. But the fact remains, that after so much phenomenal discoveries today and in the future through the use of super cyclotrons and modern electron microscopes, that the final answer to this question points only to One and only one Being : GOD.
