The Bible doesn't defend Gods existence

 The Bible doesn’t defend Gods existence 

In the gospel of John, John calling Jesus “the Word” states,

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  

He was with God in the beginning. 

Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made." John 1-3.

The Bible doesn’t defend the existence of God and the fact he created the universe. It was written to believers and believers do not need explanation.

That being said there are many men of science who defend the existence of God through science.

William Kelvin wrote,

“If you study Science deep enough and long enough, it will force you to believe in God” Lord William Kelvin Noted for his theoretical work in thermodynamics

Dr. Arno Penzias 1978 Nobel Prize winner in Physics

"Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with a very delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to permit life and one which has an underlying (one might say ‘supernatural') plan."

Werner Heisenberg states,

“The first gulp from the glass of natural science will make you an atheist,

but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you" Werner Heisenberg father of Quantum Mechanics Nobel prize in physics

What amazes me is not only did God create the heavens and the earth. But that God though His son Christ Jesus entered the word he created. John stating, 

“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14

And Jesus tells us the reason he came,

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17 

Do you believe in God? If so have you asked him into your life?

Please think about it.

Knowing the clockmaker

 Knowing the clockmaker,

The Psalmist writes,

“The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” 

                                                                Psalm 14:1

“The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”

                                                       Psalm 19:1

Voltaire wrote,

“I cannot imagine how the clockwork of the universe can exist

 without a clockmaker.”

                                    Voltaire

We may not be able to prove scientifically today in the twenty-first century that there is a God but that does not preclude His existence. Science is an on going search for what makes up the universe we live in. And from what I understand the evidence for a created universe is coming to light.

I was born in the 1950's. at that time black holes, planets in other star systems, many sub atomic particles, that we know of today were unknown. It didn’t mean they didn’t exist. It just meant scientist hadn’t discovered them. 

Scientist speculated on their existence because of what they seen in the world around them. Then postulated a theory and quite often had to wait for science to advance to prove they existed.

      Some of Albert Eienstein’s theories were not proven until long after his death. Yet Eienstein and others like him believed in their theories. They believed that they would one day be proven. In short they had faith in their theory.

The writer of Hebrews states,

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for

 and 

certain of what we do not see.”  

                                          Hebrews 11:1

So it is with believers in God. We look at the orderly universe around us. We see that everything from the largest galaxy to the smallest sub-atomic particle is perfectly in sync with one another to produce life as we know it on this planet.

The conclusion we come to is that there is a Creator God behind it all.

If we are wrong we have nothing to fear. 

If we are right we enter into eternity knowing the very maker of the Universe. 

Please think about it.

The heavens and the skies

 The heavens and the skies 

"How many are your works, O LORD! 

In wisdom you made them all;

 the earth is full of your creatures." 

                                                                Psalm 104:24.

George Washington Carver said,

"I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in." George Washington Carver.

Sadly there are many in the world that don’t “tune in”. These are men and women who refuse, no matter how good the evidence choose to ignore what the Psalmist states,

"The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands." 

                                                                  Psalm 19:1.

They don’t even believe the scientists 

Dr. Arno Penzias,

"Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with a very delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to permit life and one which has an underlying (one might say ‘supernatural') plan."Dr. Arno Penzias 1978 Nobel Prize winner in Physics 

William Philips,

“I believe in God more because of science than in spite of it" William Philips Nobel prize winner in Physics states,

Werner Heisenberg states,

“The first gulp from the glass of natural science will make you an atheist,

but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you” Werner Heisenberg. father of Quantum Mechanics, Nobel prize winner in Physics 

Even Stephen Hawking arguably one of the brightest minds of the twentieth century said,

“The universe and the laws of physics seem to have been specifically designed for us" Stephen Hawking.

That being said believing in God is an act of faith. And for many having faith in anything particularly God is a very difficult thing.

Please think about it.

Over Nothing

  Over Nothing

In the book of Job we read,

"He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; 

he suspends the earth over nothing." 

                                                      Job 26:7.

I like this observation of Job. He, an ancient man, looks into the heavens and observes the earth is suspended over nothing.

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.

In the book of Genesis we read,

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” 

                                                                            Genesis 1:1

Dr. Arno Penzias 1978 Nobel Prize winner in Physics states,

“Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with a very delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to permit life and one which has an underlying (one might say ‘supernatural’) plan.”

Even Stephen Hawking one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century said,

"It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us,"  Stephen Hawking 

God not only makes his presence known not just in the Bible but in the mathematical perfection of the Universe. For me you can’t look upon the universe and all it’s glory and say there is no creator behind it.

Do you believe God created the heavens and the earth.

Please think about it.

You will seek me and find me

  You will seek me and find me

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”

                                                                                                          Jeremiah 29:13.

I think the one reason people do not find God is because they aren’t looking for Him with their whole heart.

Someone has said,

“Maybe the atheist cannot find God 

for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman.” 

                                                                       Author Unknown.

To find God we have to believe He exists.

In Hebrews we read,

"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.

And God doesn’t expect blind faith. The Psalmist states,

"The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands." 

                                                                Psalm 19:1.

I firmly believe science done right can prove the existence of God.

Dr. Arno Penzias 1978 Nobel Prize winner in Physics

"Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with a very delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to permit life and one which has an underlying (one might say ‘supernatural') plan."

Do you believe God exists?

On Nothing

  On nothing

In the book of Job we read,

"He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; 

He suspends the earth over nothing." 

                                         Job 26:7.

        Thousands of years before the above photo was taken by Apollo 8 on 24 December 1968 as it orbited the moon. Job described what they saw. The earth suspended on nothing.

The Psalmist writes,

"The heavens declare the glory of God; t

he skies proclaim the work of his hands." 

                                                               Psalm 19:1.

I believe that God created the heavens and the earth. Whether he did it in six twenty-four hour days or used the big bang and let it develop over millennia is unimportant. After all God is almighty and could have done it whatever way He wished.

What is important to me is that if we look into not just the heavens, but everything from the largest Galaxy to the smallest subatomic particle. We see that they all work together to make the not just the world we live in but the universe we live in, perfect for life as we know it.

I cannot believe this is by chance. There has to be a Creator behind the creation we live in.

I firmly believe that science done correctly will one day prove beyond a doubt that there is irrefutable evidence of God.

Dr. Arno Penzias 1978 Nobel Prize winner in Physics, writes,

"Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with a very delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to permit life and one which has an underlying (one might say ‘supernatural') plan." Dr Arno Penzias.

William Philips writes,

“I believe in God more because of science than in spite of it"William Philips Nobel prize winning Physicist.

That being said. The question becomes do you believe in God?

Please think about it.

Explanation not necessary

 Explanation not necessary 

In the book of Genesis we read,

"In the beginning 

God created the heavens and the earth." 

                                                              Genesis 1:1.

Here is a concise statement written to believers in God. And as such needs no explanation. 

Over the centuries believers have looked around and seen the hand of God. The Psalmist writes,

"The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands." 

                                                                   Psalm 19:1.

In the book of Job we read,

"He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; 

He suspends the earth over nothing." 

                                                        Job 26:7.

Even today as scientist study the world around us and the universe in which we live they are proving that everything is linked. From the smallest subatomic particle to the largest galaxy are all connected. 

Scientist say we are in the perfect place for life to exist as we know it.

Dr. Arno Penzias 1978 Nobel Prize winner in Physics

"Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with a very delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to permit life and one which has an underlying (one might say ‘supernatural') plan." Dr. Arno Penzias

William Philips Nobel prize winning Physicist states,

I believe in God more because of science than in spite of it" William Philips.

Werner Heisenberg father of Quantum Mechanics Nobel prize in physics writes,

The first gulp from the glass of natural science will make you an atheist,

but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you" Werner Heisenberg.

Even Stephen Hawking one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century stated,

"It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us,"

Now I say all this to ask you dear reader do you believe in God?

Please think about it.

There is a Lord God Almighty

  There is a Lord God Almighty

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.

I have heard it said we live in the “goldilocks zone” in the universe. The one place where life as we know it can exist. 

Even Stephen Hawing arguably one of the greatest scientific minds of the twentieth century noted,

“The universe and the laws of physics seem to have been specifically designed for us" Stephen Hawking.

Louis Pasteur said,

“A bit of science distances one from God, but much science nears one to Him... The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed by the work of the Creator" Louis Pasteur.

There are many notable scientist that believe in God,

William Philips Nobel prize winner in Physics stated,

“I believe in God more because of science than in spite of it" William Philips

Werner Heisenberg, father of Quantum Mechanics, a Nobel prize winner in Physics stated,

“The first gulp from the glass of natural science will make you an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you" Werner Heisenberg.

I believe there is a Lord God Almighty. Creator of the universe. I also believe that science done correctly will prove that.

Please think about it.

Faith Required

  Faith Required

In the book of Hebrews we read,

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.  

This is what the ancients were commended for. 

By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible....

"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 11:1-3,6.

Faith in anyone or anything is perhaps the hardest thing we humans do.

A scientist looks around him, sees something, and postulates what must be happening even though he cannot see it.

Many scientist have gone to their graves believing a theory that was not proven until long after their death.

It is the same when it comes to God. We must have faith that God exists even though we cannot see Him. But we are not asked to have blind faith.

The Psalmist tells us,

"The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands." 

                                                                   Psalm 19:1

The heavens, the earth and the universe all exist because God brought them into existence. Even the late Stephen Hawking said,

"It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us," Stephen Hawking 

William Philips, Nobel prize winner in Physics stated,

“I believe in God more because of science than in spite of it" William Philips.

Blaise Pascal was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, philosopher, writer, and Catholic theologian. (1623-1662). Gave this advice as relevant to day as it was then, 

“Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.” Blaise Pascal.

So, where is your faith?

Please think about it.

Faith and Science

  Faith and Science

The writer of the book of Hebrews states,

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”  Hebrews 11:1

Having faith in anything especially something we cannot see can be difficult. Yet God asks this of us.

God wants us to have faith that He exists the writer of Hebrews stating,

"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.

That being said God shows himself in creation.

Stephen Hawking one of the greatest scientific minds of the twentieth century said,

"It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us," Stephen Hawking.

Writing long before Stephen Hawking the psalmist wrote,

"The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands." 

                                                        Psalm 19:1.

Scientist tell us we are in what they call the “goldilocks zone” the perfect place in the universe for life as we know it to exist. They say that even a slight variant in our position in the solar system or the universe and life on this planet would not be able to exist.

As astronomer John O”Keefe put it,

"We are, by astronomical standards, a pampered, cosseted, cherished group of creatures... if the Universe had not been made with the most exacting of precision we could never have come into existence. It is my view that these circumstances indicate the universe was created for man to live in." John O'Keefe

Science, good science shows God exists,

Louis Pasteur stated,

“A bit of science distances one from God, but much science nears one to Him... The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed by the work of the Creator" Louis Pasteur.

Lord William Kelvin noted for his theoretical work in thermodynamics wrote,

"If you study Science deep enough and long enough, it will force you to believe in God" Lord William Kelvin.

So dear reader what do you believe?

Please think about it.

God seen in science

 God seen in Science

In the Book of Genesis we read,

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” 

                                                                             Genesis 1:1

The Bible was written to believers. Therefore it does not defend the existence of God, simply because believers need no proof. They believe by faith God exists.

However there are those out there who debate the existence of God. So listed below are several quotes from men that have much better education than I have. Men, scientist who believe in God.

Dr. Arno Penzias 1978 Nobel Prize winner in Physics, states,

"Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with a very delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to permit life and one which has an underlying (one might say ‘supernatural') plan." Dr. Arno Penzias

    William Philips, Nobel prize winning physicist,

“I believe in God more because of science than in spite of it" William Philips.

Werner Heisenberg father of Quantum Mechanics, Nobel prize winner in Physics states,

"The first gulp from the glass of natural science will make you an atheist,

but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you” Werner Heisenberg.

Even the late Stephen Hawking one of the greatest scientific minds of the twentieth century wrote,

"It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us," Stephen Hawking.

Each of these men seen the evidence of God in science. The question is do you believe them. Do you believe the Bible that God exists and are you willing to put your trust in Him?

Please think about it.

Not out of blind faith

 Not out of Blind faith

The Psalmist wrote,

"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.

Thousands of years later Albert Einstein one of the greatest scientist ever to live made an interesting statement. He said,

“Look deep into nature, 

and then you will understand everything better.”

                                                                 Albert Einstein

I have always been of the opinion that science done correctly will show there is a creator behind it all. And science seems to be heading in that direction.

Scientist are looking into nature. They are seeing that everything from the largest galaxies to the smallest subatomic particles have all come together to allow life as we know it here on earth to exist.

To me that speaks of a creator.

Einstein noted,

“Human beings vegetables or cosmic dust. 

We all dance to a mysterious tune, 

intoned in the distance by an invisible player.”

                                                              Albert Einstein.

I don’t know whether or not Einstein believed in God. I do know that his statement about we all being cosmic dust, dancing to a tune played an invisible player is true. 

The Bible tells me,

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1.

In other words God created the very cosmic dust that makes up the Earth the Universe and Everything in it. 

God is that “invisible player” Einstein spoke of.

Mankind is God’s creation. That being said God, in making mankind did not make robots. He made individuals with a freewill to do as they wish.

That includes the right to believe in God or not to believe in Him. I and billions of people like me believe God exists.

I believe in God not out of blind faith. I believe in God because of what I see around me. I have looked at what the Bible says and what science says and find no contradiction. Both point to a creator.

The choice however is up to you. Each individual must decide what they believe and ultimately live with the consequence of their decision.

Please think about it.   

We can ignore but not evade

  We can ignore but not evade

The Psalmist wrote,

"The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands." 

                                                                     Psalm 19:1

C. S. Lewis wrote,

"We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God." C.S.Lewis.

It is said that if the Universe was expanding just a little faster life as we know it on earth would not exist. Slower and the universe would collapse thus we would not exist.

What is striking about the universe and everything in it from the largest galaxy to the smallest subatomic particle is that it is perfect order for us to exist.

This to me points to a Creator God who made the heavens and the earth and everything in it. Science done correctly will I believe one day prove there is a mathematical formula for creating the universe.

Until that time we must simply look at the world around us to see the finger prints of God.

We must have faith that God exists. Which I think for many especially intellectuals is a very hard thing.

Werner Heisenberg father of Quantum Mechanics and Nobel prize winner in physics states,

“The first gulp from the glass of natural science will make you an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you" Werner Heisenberg.

Even Stephen Hawking stated,

“The universe and the laws of physics seem to have been specifically designed for us" Stephen Hawking.

Hawking also said,

“It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us,” Stephen Hawking.

Still ultimately each person must decide for themselves if God exists. What do you think?

Please think about it.

The Bible and Science

The Bible and Science
In the Gospel of John we read,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17.
This is the sole purpose in Jesus coming to this earth. The whole Bible narrative centres around the salvation message. Centres around the way individuals get to heaven.
Sadly many Christians get sidetracked debating evolution and other scientific theories.  Something that is entirely unnecessary. Something that takes them away from the principle purpose of the Bible, how to get to heaven.
Galileo Galilei wisely said,

"The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, 

not the way the heavens go."

                                 Galileo Galilei.

For me it is enough to know that God created the heavens and the earth. Whether he did it in six twenty-four hour days or over billions of years is irrelevant. God is God and could have done things either way.
I feel as a Christian. A believer in Christ Jesus, it is imperative that I and all Christians stay if you will, on script. That we proclaim the message I noted above,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17.
Please if you consider yourself a Christian. Think about it.

Not Mutually Exclusive

Not mutually exclusive
In the book of Genesis we read,

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

                                                                            Genesis 1:1

The bible does not debate whether God exists. It was written to believers and believers in God need no convincing of His existence.
The other thing that is noted in Genesis 1:1 is that God created the heavens and the earth. Something again not in doubt to the true believer.
Where the problem occurs with Christians in particular is in the science. Scientist say the universe began with the big bang and took billions of years to evolve to where we are today. Many Christians choose to think God created the universe and everything in it in six twenty-four hour days. They think that to think otherwise is to lack faith. Not so.
Galileo Galilei stated,

“The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, 

not the way the heavens go.” 

                                                       Galileo Galilei.

He is right. The bible is a book of faith showing people how to get to heaven. It is immaterial to the purpose of the bible whether the universe was made in six twenty-four hour days or billions of years. God could have done it either way.
For many scientist it seems the fact many Christians hold the view that creation took place over six days turns them away from belief in God.
It shouldn’t.
I firmly believe that science done correctly will point people to God. In fact there are many renowned men of science who believe in God because of science.
William Philips a Nobel prize winning Physicist wrote,
“I believe in God more because of science than in spite of it”William Philips
Werner Heisenberg father of Quantum Mechanics and a winner of the Nobel prize said,
“The first gulp from the glass of natural science will make you an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you” Werner Heisenberg.
In fact the Bible in a way challenges us to look into science and see God. 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.

Ultimately however it is up to the individual as to whether they believe in God or not. Thus the question becomes, do you believe in God?
Please think about it.

Must Believe

Must believe
The writer of Hebrews states,
"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
Faith defined as,
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."  Hebrews 11:1.
I think it is safe to say that you will not find God if your mind is made up and you say He doesn’t exist. You must be looking for God. You must have faith that God exists in order to find him.
Proof of God is all around us.
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.
Here are a few quotes from prominent scientist throughout the years,
Lord William Kelvin said,
"If you study Science deep enough and long enough, it will force you to believe in God" Lord William Kelvin.
Louis Pasteur said,
“A bit of science distances one from God, but much science nears one to Him... The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed by the work of the Creator” Louis Pasteur.
Even Stephen Hawking one of the greatest scientific minds ever admitted,
“It would be difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of God who intended to create beings like us” Stephen hawking.
Now I said all of that to ask you this question,
Do you truly believe God exists?
The choice is yours.
Please think carefully about it.

Look Deep

Look Deep
Albert Einstein said,

"Look deep into nature,

 and then you will understand everything better.”

                                                                  Albert Einstein.

   Einstein’s words are true. I am told that if we look deep into space we will be able to if not now, one day be able to see remnants of the Big Bang that created the universe as we know it. I do not doubt for a moment that this is untrue. The universe had a beginning. Genesis tells us,

“In the Beginning

God created the heavens and the Earth”

                                                    Genesis 1:1.

I am also quiet sure God could have used the big bang to bring the universe into being. After all he is an all powerful God and He could do it anyway He wished.
That being said I think as believers in God we must remember that the Bible is a book of faith, not science.
Galileo Galilei wrote,

“The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, 

not the way the heavens go.”

                              Galileo Galilei.

It is inconsequential to the faith of a believer how the heavens and the earth were formed.
     Whether it took six twenty-four hour days or billions of years. All that is important is to believe in God, and that he sent His one and only Son to earth to point mankind to heaven.
For me I see God within creation. I agree with the Psalmist who wrote,

“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.

Everything in this universe, from the smallest subatomic particle to the largest galaxy is exactly as it should be to create life as we know it on  this planet. If anything was just a little off, we would not exist. This tells me there is a creator God behind it all.
What do you think?
Please think about it.

Psalms, Voltaire, and Billy Graham

Psalms Voltaire, and Billy Graham
The Psalmist writes,

“The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” 

                                                                Psalm 14:1

“The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”

                                                       Psalm 19:1

Voltaire wrote,

“I cannot imagine how the clockwork of the universe can exist

 without a clockmaker.”

                                    Voltaire

Billy Graham stated,

I can't prove it scientifically, 

that there's a God, 

but I believe. 

                         Billy Graham.

We may not be able to prove scientifically today in the twenty-first century that there is a God, but that does not preclude His existence.
I was born in the 1950's. at that time black holes, planets in other star systems, many sub atomic particles, that we know of today were unknown. It didn’t mean they didn’t exist. It just meant scientist hadn’t discovered them.
Scientist speculated on their existence because of what they seen in the world around them postulated a theory and quite often had to wait for science to advance to prove they existed.
      Some of Eienstein’s theories were not proven until long after his death. Yet Eienstein and others like him believed in their theories. They believed that they would one day be proven. In short they had faith in their theory.
The writer of Hebrews states,

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for

 and 

certain of what we do not see.”  

                                          Hebrews 11:1

So it is with believers in God. We look at the orderly universe around us. We see that everything from the largest galaxy to the smallest sub-atomic particle is perfectly in sync with one another to produce life as we know it on this planet.
The conclusion we come to is that there is a Creator God behind it all.
If we are wrong we have nothing to fear.
If we are right we enter into eternity knowing the very maker of the Universe.
Please think about it.
