|  Does God Exist?
Can the existence of God be scientifically proved?Where did the first LIFE COME from? Can we know whether God possesses MIND power?
"None but the FOOL hath said in his heart, There is no God!" (Psalm 14:1; 53:1.) CREATION IS THE PROOF OF GOD! SEVEN PROOFS GOD EXISTSNever has it been more urgently necessary to answer the question, "Does God exist?" Atheists and evolutionists assume He does not! Churchgoers, some Christians assume He does! It's time to quit assuming! It's time you saw the proof! Proof Number One Did Matter, Force, Energy, Laws, Evolve? Evolution purports to explain how the earth came to be—how MAN came to be. It is the atheists' attempt to explain the question of ORIGINS—without a Creator—without intelligence!
But where do they start? Not with any explanation of how MATTER came to be—without a Creator! Not with any explanation of how LAWS came to be—or what CAUSES them to work. Not with any explanation for how matter, force, energy, such laws as gravity and inertia developed WITHOUT A CREATOR.
In any explanation of the question of ORIGINS, one must explain the ORIGINS of matter, force, energy, gravity, inertia and the other laws, as well as the origin of LIFE.
But evolutionists start with all these already created and in existence. Therefore the evolutionists, in fact, acknowledge creation before their explanations actually begin! They are thus forced to acknowledge the pre-existence of the CREATOR—FOR THEY BEGIN WITH MATTER AND laws already created and existing!
The existence of law, unchangeable, immutable, irrevocable, unseen and yet active, absolutely demands the existence of a great lawgiver. "There is one lawgiver who is able to save and to destroy..." (James 4:12). That lawgiver is God! Proof Number TwoChasm Between Life and Death. There is an absolute, demonstrable law of science which comprises the second major proof of the existence of a life-giving God. That is the law of biogenesis!
"Bio" means life! "Genesis" means beginning. This law, then, is a law concerning the beginning of life. This law, simply stated, is the absolute law that life comes only from life. That the not-living can never give rise to, give birth to or produce the living. There is perhaps no law known to science that can be any more firmly and easily demonstrated than the law of biogenesis. The very existence of life demands a life giver!
God states dogmatically, "And the Lord (Eternal) God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" (Gen. 2:7).
Almighty God, the Life Self-Existent, the One who has life, who is Life, who was before all things, imparted life to the first man and set within man, the animals, and all plants the cyclical character of life which enables them to reproduce according to certain set laws. God is the great life-giver! Proof Number Three You will notice that evolutionists, in trying to substantiate their theory, always BEGIN with an orderly universe and the existence of matter. Notice the so-called Theory of Evolution BEGINS with matter, laws, and "simple" life.
What is matter? Matter occupies space and has weight. It is not always necessarily seen, since certain gases, and even the air which you breathe, are also classified as "matter." Science has firmly established that there has been no past eternity of matter! Matter must have at some time come into existence. It had to have been, at some time, created.
Creation, then, the very existence of things, absolutely demands and requires a Creator. That which is made requires a Maker. That which is produced requires a Producer. Therefore, the third great proof is that the creation requires a great Creator. Proof Number FourThe One who is quoted in the first person as being God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good" (Gen. 1:24-25).
Varieties Not Kinds. There are hundreds of different varieties within the dog kind, and while there may be small, tiny dogs, such as the Mexican Chihuahua, and also huge dogs such as the St. Bernard or the Great Dane, they are still dogs! They are not cats, or horses, nor are they even beginning to show a gradual trend toward developing into another kind of animal. They are all of the same kind. Any farmer who labors in his fields, raising corn, wheat or other crops, knows some of the basic proofs of selective breeding.
God is the one who made these laws, and who also sustains them. The fact God said let the earth bring forth "after his kind," and has been enforcing and sustaining that law ever since, is the fourth major proof of the existence of God.
This absolutely proves, not only the existence of a Lawgiver, but that there is, alive, acting RIGHT NOW, a Great Sustainer, of all that is. These laws are upheld, sustained, KEPT in action. How? By the Sustainer, who is God! Proof Number FiveUnanswerable Questions. This total interdependency of all life forms—the tremendous design within this universe—shows a common Beginner, one main Architect, one great Designer with an overall framework of a plan of creation into which all life forms fit.
Nothing lives or dies to itself. Each living thing, whether plant or animal, when it dies, supplies further life for other living things. Observe a forest. A tree grows, finally dies and falls, only to become part of the fallow forest floor, supplying life-giving elements for the young trees which it had sown in its lifetime.
This great universe, and the complex intricate earth on which you live and draw breath, is a world of great design. It is a world of such complex and intricate design as to take the very breath in beginning to investigate even the minutest part.
The cleavage properties of minerals, the wings of a bird or a fly, the beauty of a sunset, the facets of a quartz crystal, and above all, the marvelous, tremendous masterpiece of all design, the human body, all point out that for such intricate design, there had to be an eternal designer. Design in the universe proves the existence of a designer! Proof Number Six This sixth proof of the existence of an Almighty God is perhaps the most astounding of all. About one full third of your Bible is Prophecy; and while most of that one third pertains to our present day, there are many, many prophecies which have already been fulfilled, and which are presently BEING fulfilled.
God sent His prophets thousands of years ago to such major cities as Babylon, Ekron, Ashdod, Ashkelon and Sidom. These prophets—simple human beings who had been commissioned with a message—foretold the events which were to befall each of these ancient cities.
And without fail, in every single instance, exactly at the time prescribed, all these things HAPPENED! The very fact that God is able to foretell the future, and bring it to pass, is a great proof of His existence! Proof Number Seven This last proof is perhaps the greatest proof of all to true Christians. It is the proof of answered prayer. Real answered prayer is a direct, completely miraculous supernatural intervention from Almighty God! It is the result of being obedient to God's Laws, asking according to His will, and then believing in faith until the answer comes.
These seven, irrefutable, unchallengeable PROOFS of the existence of Almighty God represent only the minutest beginning of the subject. They are, nevertheless, proofs. It's about time people quit assuming-- it's about time they began to really PROVE all things.
It´s about time YOU said with Job, "For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth" (Job 19:25). |
