Does God exist?
Does evolution explain our existence? Does God reveal Himself through
other observations? Much has been written about the evidences for God's
existence and/or to prove that He does not exist. To help you find a
path through the labyrinth of information, following an overview of
the 15 most compelling evidences for the existence of a Divine
Creator, God:
- The
Big Bang needed a Creator: Something cannot come from nothing.
- Structure
and order: The remarkable order and structure of the laws of
science and the characteristics of the elements show the hand of a
Designer.
- Earth
is a truly privileged planet: Chances of finding a similar
planet like Earth suited for life in the entire universe are
practically zero.
- Designed
for discovery: Our location is the universe is also likely the
best location to observe the universe. Our atmosphere allows for
life but also observation.
- First
Life: The complexity of the simplest living organism makes it
clear that life cannot have started just by chance. Proteins, DNA
and molecular machines show design.
- No
mechanism for species to evolve. Natural selection is just
variation within a species. Genetic mutations are required to
evolve from one species into the next, however mutations are not
common and mostly neutral. If they happen, they are almost always
harmful not beneficial. The
occurrence of many small, beneficial steps of mutations is against
all odds and has never been observed.
- The
fossil record: There are no intermediate species in the fossil
record. The Cambrian explosion shows the sudden appearance of all
body designs at the same geological time.
- Age
of the human race: Modern man (through analysis based on
genetics) indeed descends from one single pair of parents, likely
less than 50,000 years ago. Much more recent than earlier assumed
and too recent to allow for evolution.
- Irreducible
complex machines: A number of biological systems cannot be
formed in gradual evolutionary steps.
- Symbiotic
relationships: The close relationships between some pairs of
organisms show that independent evolution of these life forms is
not possible.
- Law
of entropy: All complex systems in our universe ‘evolve’
toward chaos, not the other way around. Evolution claims the
opposite.
- The
watchmaker argument: Living organisms are very complicated and
sophisticated. Like with a watch, it is more logical to assume
that they are designed than that they ‘happened’ by random
chance.
- The
morality argument: All humans are wired to have moral values
(know what is right or wrong). How can a-moral, organic components
develop moral values by chance?
- The
testimony of silence: After 150 years of research
evolutionists still have not found answers and mechanisms to
explain how life could have started and evolution could have
happened.
- Near
death experiences: An estimated 8+ million Americans have
experienced a NDE (Near Death Experiences). NDEs are all very
similar, strongly suggesting the existence of a soul that
continues to live after clinical death.
