***First friend, allow me to somewhat level the "playing field you’ve selected.” A common " belief of the NA religion [not a correct word, as its really a cult], perhaps that’s to strong a word; but NA understanding is that there “is no God.” Frankly for anyone with personal integrity, just a wee bit of intelligence and common sense, its far easier to prove that there is God, than there is no god!
I will offer three proofs,***
The Created Universe itself. Scientist tell us that our galaxy consist of in excess of 1 BILLION planets, each as large as our earth. Further they estimate that traveling at the “speed of light” [about 1,850 miles per Second] that it would take about 47,000 years to go from one end to the other. Additionally they claim there are “Billions of galaxies.” A “typical human body “ consist of about “10 -Thousand-TRILLION’ soft cells.
So hold unto whatever belief you’ve convinced yourself is reasonable. But something friend caused this Universe sustains it and renews it. We Christians choose to call this power, this source “our God.” Even if your one who accepts what science themselves call “The Theory of the Big Bang,” they are want to explain the “First Cause.” Where did the stuff that went “bang originate? And please, none of this “it always existed stuff. Not only can’t it be proven, it lacks logic.
The human person is the second evidence. With many thousands of species of living things on planet earth [which itself is another proof of God] we the human species are both unique and superior. Why and how?
**
Can we agree on these?**
What is; is
What is not; is not
Something can only be what it is
Something cannot something it is not
Something can only give what it has
Something cannot give what that something does not possess.
Humanity consists of both “physical matter” and “spiritual Things.” [Mind, intellect and freewill], putting aside for this discussion the “soul.”
Now note that I used the term “mind” not “brain” which are separate “Things”. Further note that evidence of these spiritual Things can be given [indeed my writing this and you reading this prove it] but none of the three human things common to all humanity can be “quantified” thus proving there Spiritually. ***
***So the body “Things” can’t produce / reproduce “Spiritual things.” So what is the Origin of these “Spiritual Things.” Again, we Christians attribute this to our “God” who “Created” [to make out of nothing!] the Universe. I would point out another anomaly. Each and every human person past, present and future are uniquely themselves by virtue of the Spiritual gifts. Humanity can reason, can calculate, can compose, can create, can think and can forgive; all of which too make us unique. That friend is no set of accidents. It is rather the specific plan of the Creator. ***
That leads me to my third proof.
***The most unique thing, the most amazing thing about humanity is man’s desire to love and to be loved. To give love, and to receive love. It my contention that this cannot be a mere accident, nor is it simple animalistic instinct, because to love is a decision only humans can make. It is my contention and belief that this ability “mirrors” that of our Creator, and further that we were Created with these unique and special gifts precisely to love each other and to return “love for love” with our Creator God.
Friend, beyond simply denying these truths, [that is insufficient given your posture] we look forward to proving me wrong.
And we know, oh so much better than you, just how important your question is.
Love and prayers friend.***
