    How we know God is real if we have no proof?
  • Adam - In Reply on Genesis 19 - 3 years ago
    Hi Timothy,

    How do we know He isn't real if we have no proof He isn't?

    The fact is you exist. So do I. Your heart beats for no apparent reason. Nothing scientific makes that muscle to continue to expand and contract creating electricity and pumping in a perfect rhythm matching the energy needs, and doing so for 75+ years. The smartest minds on earth don't know how to make it. No one knows how to create life. And the heart is part of a brilliantly designed interconnected system that allows capabilities and features beyond the imagination.

    If you see a painting you know there's a painter, if you see a building there's a builder, but if you see something even far more amazing and complex in its design it wasn't made by designer? It it likely a random explosion from nothing designed it, not just once but also in ideal pairs (male/female), also with food (trees/plants). This doesn't follow the scientific method of ever being witnessed or being reproducible and it violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics, because order always goes to disorder, not the opposite.

    So, I think deep down when you look at the amazing creation including ourselves we know we're designed and it would take way more faith to believe everything was accidentally designed from nothing and for no reason instead of intentionally designed by a designer.

    Imagine a Tesla model S with all its features creating itself. No one would believe that- that's silly. But strangely, people love to believe a human body with even more advanced features is possible, not only that, but in pairs, and also with food, even though such as thing has never been witnessed. 3d vision, video, DNA code in every cell, touch, feel, smell, taste, anti-drowning, water resistant skin, water cooled, heat generation, reproducible, efficient and compact plumbing and electrical system, heals itself. Only adapting to climate is a feature of amazing design, not evolving. No animal has ever evolved into another kind of animal.

    Romans 1:19-20. Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

    FOR THE INVISIBLE THINGS OF HIM FROM THE CREATION OF THE WORLD ARE CLEARLY SEEN, BEING UNDERSTOOD BY THE THINGS THAT ARE MADE, even his eternal power and Godhead; ""so that they are without excuse:""

    We're without excuse. Even without having seen him, even if there were no bible, God's creation declares something skillful and divine has happened.

    continue later. Thanks

    Ok thanks!!!! I asked this question because people say this a lot and I wanted to hear other people explanation

    Timothy.

    The proof is in his creation,

    His Glory is in his handywork.

    That's what Romans ch 1 is all about.

    I'm at work, Maybe someone can elaborate on it further, If not I will later.

    Thanks, and good day.
