No God?

No God?
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” 
                                                                                 Genesis 1:1
The Bible does not debate the existence of God. It simply states from the outset that God created the heavens and the earth.
How God made the universe be it using the big bang or other means is immaterial to the fact that God exists and that he created the heavens and the earth.
The atheist says there is no God yet he has no definite proof of that.
Peter John Kreeft states, 
“Atheism is cheap on people through, because it snobbishly says nine out of ten people through history have been wrong about God and have had a lie at the core of their hearts.”
                                                                                                                   Peter John Kreeft.
For those who would believe in God the evidence is all around. The psalmist writes,
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. 
There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.” 
                                                                                                 Psalm 19:1-3
Scientist tell us that Earth lies in the so called “Goldilocks zone” the perfect place around our sun for life to exist.
If we look all around us we can see the universe is in perfect balance. Some one once told me the Universe from the smallest subatomic particle to the largest galaxy is mathematically perfect. The mathematicians and scientist may not have all the formulas that show how perfect the universe is but given time and good science they will one day find all of them.
I personally cannot believe that the universe in which we live just came about by chance. There must be a creator.
Further more if this life is all there is and we simply pass on to oblivion what a waste of a soul.
For me and the majority of people that have ever lived, knowing there is a God and a life beyond this one makes life worthwhile.
Christians in particular look forward to going to heaven for we know beyond doubt where we will spend eternity.
I agree with Kreeft when he says,
“Atheism treats people cheaply. Also, it robs death of meaning, and if death has no meaning, how can life ultimately have meaning?”
                                                Peter John Kreeft ph.d 
For me what the psalmist says is true,
“The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” 
                                                                        Psalm 14:1.
I say that because all the evidence in nature and in science and in the bible points the way to there being a God who loves each and every individual on earth.
Ultimately even though the facts are out there proving the existence of God. There is required an element of faith.
The writer of Hebrews saying,
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
                                                                                                  Hebrews 11:6
God gave man a free will that free will includes the right to believe in Him or not. The choice is yours.
Please thing about it.
