Some proofs for the existence of God

[Eddie18]

Isn’t It Funny…

• …that gravity on earth just happens to be the perfect value to allow humans to move freely, and never varies such that people become stuck in place or float into the atmosphere, wiping out humanity?
• … that the air quality on earth just happens to provide the perfect environment to sustain human life, never varying such that human beings become poisoned or suffocated, wiping out all humanity?
• … that the distance of the earth from the sun never varies such that all humanity either burns or freezes to death?
• … that atheists admit there are laws of nature, but deny there is anyone who created those laws?
• … that studies have been performed confirming that there is no place on earth where religion hasn’t been practiced? Why do people have this built-in instinct?
• … that every person is born with a built-in knowledge that actions such as murder, suicide, theft, and deceit are wrong, without ever having to learn about this in school?
• … that every person that goes against this built-in knowledge (the natural law) also has a voice of conscience that rebukes them repeatedly that what they did was wrong? Where does this voice come from and why do we all have it?
• … that every person has a built-in desire to pursue the truth in matters, and to balance the scales of justice when they become imbalanced?
• … that every person instinctively begs God for help when death appears imminent, whether they previously learned to do this or not?
• … that men and women just happen to be created with a built in desire for one another?
• … that men and women just happen to have the built-in desire for self-preservation and procreation?
• … that there is an automated food chain across the globe that continuously maintains life?
• … that the human brain, a 3 pound piece of tissue, is the most complex computer found on the planet?
• … that the human heart can maintain life for over 100 years with its own mysterious source of energy?
• … that of the countless functions of the human body, if any of them were omitted or occurred in a different order, it would wipe out humanity?
• … that many atheists try to assert there is no God due to deaths in past wars, while they neglect to acknowledge the fact that 4.5 million people die of natural causes across the globe every MONTH (55 million per year)?
• … that atheists will become angry when these facts are pointed out in this forum post? This anger obviously stems from the atheist continuously fighting his own conscience as it repeatedly points out all of these facts.

Is all the above a coincidence? Clearly not, but rather it is proof for a Divine Creator.

Not to mention the many minuscule things that needed to be exactly right at the exact beginning of the universe.

There’s a good Prager U video on this topic.

It’s unsettling to atheists that we have answers to big questions and they do not. The beginning of the universe, for example.

The author Douglas Adams explained best how life after the fact might think itself privileged when, in fact, it’s assessing the situation and setting the target well after the barrage of arrows have been shot:
“This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, ‘This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn’t it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!’ This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.”

You also have to take into consideration that there may be life out there that would thrive in an environment that humans wouldn’t. Maybe there are beings on a planet around Alpha Centauri that breathes ammonia and requires temperatures of over 200 degrees farenheit that marvel at how perfect their environment and how their quadrune god made it just for them.

• … that atheists admit there are laws of nature, but deny there is anyone who created those laws?

The “rules” of nature are not like the rules of chess. They were deigned from above after some debate, they came about due to how matter works and interacts with itself. No one decided that the force of gravity would be the product of the masses of two objects divided by the square of the distance between the.

• … that studies have been performed confirming that there is no place on earth where religion hasn’t been practiced? Why do people have this built-in instinct?

The reason man is at the top of the food chain is because he has very strong pattern recognition. Sometimes that ends up causing man to find explanations in things (at the time) beyond our understanding. For example, man wants to know why crops sometimes grow and sometimes don’t. So primitive man will sometimes credit/blame a deity. Modern man knows the various scientific factors involved and doesn’t blame a deity.

• … that every person is born with a built-in knowledge that actions such as murder, suicide, theft, and deceit are wrong, without ever having to learn about this in school?

Man has succeeded because he has worked within the framework of a society. Those traits that harm a society – even a very primitive one – are rooted out. Here is a good starting article on social evolution. It should be noted that there are more than a few Christian apologists who say that we are NOT born knowing certain actions are bad and that if they were not Christian that would become murdering and raping thieves.

• … that every person that goes against this built-in knowledge (the natural law) also has a voice of conscience that rebukes them repeatedly that what they did was wrong? Where does this voice come from and why do we all have it?

Not every person has that voice of conscience, and we tend to lock those people up. In primitive days they were killed. Again this all relates to social evolution.

• … that every person has a built-in desire to pursue the truth in matters, and to balance the scales of justice when they become imbalanced?

Again this is about social evolution as well as the fact that man’s search of knowledge is what has made him master of his domain.

• … that every person instinctively begs God for help when death appears imminent, whether they previously learned to do this or not?

This is utterly and demonstrably false. It’s a childish canard used by a few believers to make their case without invoking evidence. There have been plenty of non-believers who have faced death without calling out to your god or any other. A subset of this trope is the lie that “There are no atheists in foxholes.” Hereis a list of military atheists in foxholes and other spots where they faced possible death.

• … that men and women just happen to be created with a built in desire for one another?
• … that men and women just happen to have the built-in desire for self-preservation and procreation?

If a species developed that had no desire for self-preservation or procreation it would die out, and all the other species would marvel at their desire for procreation and self-preservation.

• … that there is an automated food chain across the globe that continuously maintains life?

Yet again only those organisms that have had the good fortune to survive can ponder their existence and (possibly falsely) consider themselves to be chosen by a deity. Those ammonia-breathing beings on Alpha Centauri if they exist probably boast about how perfect the conditions were to let them exist.

• … that the human brain, a 3 pound piece of tissue, is the most complex computer found on the planet?

That’s not a proof of a god. When we compare it with other brains we see signs of development on an epic time scale.

• … that the human heart can maintain life for over 100 years with its own mysterious source of energy?

Mysterious?

• … that of the countless functions of the human body, if any of them were omitted or occurred in a different order, it would wipe out humanity?

This is evolution 101. Well before we reached the stage of human, primate, or even mammal, basic life had a way to intake and use energy. Sometimes offspring would be created with mutations that allowed for slight improvements into that functionality and sometimes they would be detrimental. The former were more likely to pass on those traits, and the latter would not. It’s not like humanity was fully formed in one shot and we were just so lucky that all the parts happened to fit together well.

• … that many atheists try to assert there is no God due to deaths in past wars, while they neglect to acknowledge the fact that 4.5 million people die of natural causes across the globe every MONTH (55 million per year)?

I’m not sure what is being asserted here.

• … that atheists will become angry when these facts are pointed out in this forum post? This anger obviously stems from the atheist continuously fighting his own conscience as it repeatedly points out all of these facts.

I’m not angry. I do get frustrated since at no time have we had the vast bulk of human knowledge at our fingertips. It’s there, but if someone is an ostrich everything is going to taste like sand.

I agree that there must be someone who created such laws.

Even if life started from few permutation of atoms many billion of years ago to the much complicated assembly of these particles that finally caused the existence of thinking humans, there has to be someone behind all that to design or make the first step happened.

Heck even the big bang has to be initiated by someone.

I’m not going to have time tonight to get into this, but in the meantime I think I should quickly mention that the theory of evolution has been shown to have so many holes in it that it is impossible. It’s a theory created by an atheist for atheists. Once that is realized, you will have a completely different perspective of the list in the OP.

Before you freak out about what I just said about evolution here, there is a global organization of creation scientists online that show that evolution cannot possibly be. They have plenty of articles available on their website to read confirming this. Link: https://creationresearch.org/

These aren’t proofs.

Other processes adequately explains them. Some of them are patently fallacious. Some of them are rhetorical nonsense.

I’m glad you find your points to be evidence of God. And I won’t try to take that away from you. But don’t confuse that with proof.

I think I read in a science text book that the water on Earth temperates the heat otherwise it would be super cold at night and really hot in the sun so it is interesting that there is enough, but I don’t necessarily know what range it should be in. I also heard that most stars are binary (two sun’s orbit each other) or that they release surges of energy every now and then. Then there is some thing about the components of an atoms (protons, neutrons, and electrons) that have to be a certain size relative to each other otherwise they would not be able to form matter or something.
