Does God Exist?
Introduction:
A. This is no trivial, insignificant question.
1. If there is no God, then there is no Supreme Being to which we must give an accountno Judgment Day, no heaven or hell. There is no right or wrong, no good or evil. We should live by the saying, "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die."
2. But if there is a Godwell, thats a different story.
3. Are we an accident or the image of God? Are we without purpose or have an eternal goal? Do we live like an animal or like a child of God? In the end, is it dust or eternity?
B. This is what I want us to examine. Is it logical to accept the existence of an eternal Creator? Can modern science with its computers and rockets to the moon allow for such a notion?
C. There is a modern-day attack on all that Christians believe and we are constantly being told that it is science versus religion. Is that true or does science actually point to a Creator?
D. Now, obviously we cant "prove" that God exists or doesnt exist, since He is outside of the physical realm. What we can do is look at the physical realm and see what the evidence points toward. It is more like proving a case in the courtroom by presenting and examining the evidence and then coming to a conclusion.
E. It certainly is reasonable to suggest that if there is a God, He would have made adequate evidence available for us to believe that He exists. And thats what Rom. 1:20 says: "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse."
F. So I'm going to give you five arguments for the existence of God. Now, before we begin, I want you to know that I am not a scientist; I am a researcher. But even if I was a scientist, as always, you need to check it out for yourself.
