Does God Exist?

Proving the Existence of God

More and more people are having doubt in the existence of God, they reason that the presence of evil, suffering, and catastrophes negates any chance of His being there.

1. Is there an indisputable proof of God's existence?

2. Why does the presence of natural laws prove the existence of God?

3. Order?

Everything needs a creator.

In proving the existence of God, one cannot use the existing "holy scriptures" of any faith or religion, instead scientific proof and logic should be sought as supporting materials or the whole argument will be invalidated right at the beginning of the conversation.

This whole discourse are for those who are seeking the truth, to the kind of people that while they don't believe in a god at the moment, have their minds open, even for ideas and proofs contrary to their personal point of view. For the hardline atheist, there will never be enough explanation and proof that will suffice. So if you categorize yourself as one, you can save time now by going elsewhere.

How can we prove that God exists?

First, do you agree that things around you exist? You exist. Your loved ones, and the things you use and love everyday exist. That's a start.

Okay, now among the things you use everyday, we will pick a simple one, something crafted by a man. Say for example a wooden chair.

Would anybody be able to convince you that a wooden chair existed without anyone making it? If anyone can successfully convince you that a wooden chair just appeared out of nowhere, all the remaining parts of this discourse will have no use to you.

Let us take this example further. Say someone prepared the different parts of that wooden chair; the back rest, seat, feet, braces, then he placed all those parts in a big container along with nails, wood glue and hammer.

Can we expect that, because all the parts of the chair are there in a container, a fully assembled chair will suddenly appear there? No.

Will you agree that it would never happen? If your answer is affirmative, we are making some progress.

If a simple wooden chair with all the parts, materials and tools collected in a single place has no chance of being assembled without any intelligent intervention, how can we accept that a far more complicated living thing can just appear out of nowhere?

Therefore, this simple logical explanation proves that everything that exists needs a creator.

Because Law and Order Need an Enforcer

The existence of God is proven by the presence of law and order in everything. When scientists and mathematicians show us that those laws and order are working flawlessly, we watch in awe, we marvel and praise the knowledge of man for "discovering" such things. Forgetting completely that we only came to know what is there all along before we even did.

We may call them natural laws, physical laws, law of probability, whatever we label them. There is no denying that they are present, those laws are very stable, consistent and reliable that we are able to design things to use those laws, to operate upon the known physical laws, or else we find our creation utterly useless or at the very least an inconvenient one.

Those laws are so universal that we are sure things will behave exactly the same way under the exact environmental conditions. There is no hope of escaping them. So growing up under those laws, we learn to live with them, not against them, those who do not respect those laws suffer unnecessary hardships.

We respect the law of heat, electricity, and gravity for example. Can you imagine going through life without considerations of these laws? Do you not use pot holders while handling hot cooking utensils? Do you not avoid being electrocuted? Do you not avoid falling? Yes, those simple day to day activities we do are actually in respect to the known laws that operate in our daily lives.

Who implemented those laws in the first place? Once implemented, who enforces those laws so that they will not fail to operate every time? Would you agree that compared to our present governments and law enforcers, He is doing a pretty good job in keeping things following His order and following His laws?

The presence of natural laws proves the existence of a law giver and enforcer, He is God.

Is there order?

What do you think? Are our lives full of order? Some people see chaos, randomness and dis-array in our environment.

Let me prove that there is instead, order.

Let me start with the things too small for our own naked senses to appreciate, like: atoms, molecules and elemental frequencies.

These are scientific objects, scientists have so far proven that an atom is definitely ordered. Have you noticed the table of elements? Every element falls in a particular slot in the succession of elements. Showing order.

Scientists have also proven that there are positive and negative parts of an atom that render an element stable or not, they represent them as a part revolving around the other part, it will mean that everything is actively moving at atomic level of things. Trillions and trillions of them, all moving at this very moment, all, in everything. Mind boggling actually if you try to imagine. Yet they actually do in total order, as how they were designed to do. No more no less.

Molecules behave in total orderliness too. Ask the chemists how are they able to repeat a particular solution. A mixture? How are engineers able to calculate the strength of materials? How manufacturers are able to continually produce the same product with consistent quality?

They all depend on the stable orderliness of matters. Order that no man had put in there.

As to the elemental frequencies, ask an engineer how everything is eminating frequency, every element, a different frequency. That these days, some company can use a frequency modulator to be able to tell what are the things under the soil without making excavation. They can tell what element, how deep, how wide and to an extent, how much is there. If there is no order, this sort of things would not be possible.

Telecommunications, radio, internet and a host of other things would also not be possible without order in elemental frequencies.

How about in our simple daily lives, do we depend on those orders too? Yes, we do. Although we're so used to them that we just take what's going on for granted. When you put sugar in your hot coffee, don't you expect it to be sweetened? What would happen if the order and law that was supposed to work there is not consistent? Would your life be happier? Say, sometime when you put sugar, it sweetens the coffee. But sometimes you see the sugar just doesn't dissolve? Maybe if it happens one day, you would think that you have put something in your coffee that is not sugar. Because you will reason out that sugar should be dissolved in that situation. Yes, we depend on the law and order for our daily activities.

Another simple example: Suppose you're driving a car, what do you expect to happen when you rotate the steering wheel? What do you expect when you press the clutch? the fuel or the brake pedal? What if the laws of physics was not consistent? Would you like to drive with a steering wheel that makes your car go in unexpected directions when you turn it right or left? Pedals that do unexpected things? I hope that you are following with my train of thought here, it can be a fun mental exercise.

Obviously, without the law and order operating in consistent manner, our daily lives will be unbearably hard.

Even if we consider the gigantic things like our planet, the sun, our galaxy and other galaxies, this law and order is evident. Planets rotate around the sun, our solar system rotates around the center of the milky way galaxy and our galaxy rotating around the center of the cluster of galaxies which milky way is clustered with. All in order.

There is order everywhere, from the smallest to the biggest things known to man. Therefore, there is someone who put all these things in order. You may call it whatever you like. I strongly suggest you call it God.
