How do you know that God is real? Is there anyway to prove that God exists?
These questions and others like them get asked all of the time, and those who pose them like to fancy themselves as somewhat intelligent.
Romans 1:20 says,”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.” What that is telling us is that creation itself testifies to the genius of God’s creative hand. It tells us that there must be a Creator.
Anyone who looks around them and sees the incredible balance in all of creation from the atom to the universe can clearly see that this world was designed.
If I told you that the device you’re reading this on fell together on it’s own over millions of years, you probably wouldn’t believe me. If I suggested that your morning newspaper was the result of an explosion down at the press, you would think I was a total moron. In fact, that’s so insulting to the intellect, you would probably be upset for wasting your time even reading it.
Did you know that there are 3 billion bits of information in just one strand of human DNA? Think about that for a moment. DNA is so small that you need a microscope in order to see it, and yet God in his brilliance has encoded 3 billion bits of ordered genetic information that is unique to you as an individual. Fascinating!
If you were to sit down and count them at the rate of three per second, you would be sitting there counting for over 31 years. And that is just one tiny little strand of human DNA.
Now consider that that information is different for every human being on the planet. Consider that information being different for every type of animal and every type of bird in the animal kingdom. Consider the incredible order and balance in all of creation, from insects and plants, to flowers and trees, to the weather and seasons, etc. Then consider the vastness of the universe, and that our planet with all of its wonders is just one tiny insignificant spec among billions of stars and countless galaxies. It should fill you with a sense of awe at the majesty of the power of God.
David said,”The heavens declare the glory of God.” Psalm 19:1
The more the science discovers about the world around us, from tiny strands of DNA to the vastness of our universe, the more increasingly complex we see that the creative hand of God really is.
From the microscope to the telescope, what we continue to learn is that the incredible, awesome handiwork of God’s genius and wisdom extends so far beyond our modest intellectual grasp that we must be humbled by it.
It’s no wonder that Romans 1 says “they are without excuse.” God has not left us without any witness of himself. It just gets “suppressed.” Read the entire chapter and see what he says about those who reject it.
It’s sad to see so many people misled by the popular contemporary academic belief in the fairy tale of evolution. You have grown men with brilliant minds who are so opposed to a belief in God that they will dogmatically embrace almost anything that supports their position. So you can have a professor with lots of letters after his name stand in front of an audience and boldly claim that billions and billions of years, time+matter+chance, has produced everything we see. The Bible says that man is a fool! Psalm 14:1
Don’t be afraid of questions on proving God’s existence. He’s already given plenty of proof all around us in creation itself.
Now we just need to tell them about who He is and what He has done in Jesus Christ.
