Does God Exist - Six Reasons to Believe that God is Really There - Existence of God - Proof of God: "


Who am I and where did the "I" in me come from?

Just once wouldn't you love for someone to simply show you the evidence for God's existence? No arm-twisting. No statements of, 'You just have to believe.' Well, here is an attempt to candidly offer some of the reasons which suggest that God exists.
But first consider this. If a person opposes even the possibility of there being a God, then any evidence can be rationalized or explained away. It is like if someone refuses to believe that people have walked on the moon, then no amount of information is going to change their thinking. Photographs of astronauts walking on the moon, interviews with the astronauts, moon rocks...all the evidence would be worthless, because the person has already concluded that people cannot go to the moon.
When it comes to the possibility of God's existence, the Bible says that there are people who have seen sufficient evidence, but they have suppressed the truth about God.1 On the other hand, for those who want to know God if He is there, He says, 'You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you.'2 Before you look at the facts surrounding God's existence, ask yourself, If God does exist, would I want to know Him? "

It's really simple

At 70 years of age it is almost fact to me that the Creator has brought me this far!
Why do I say "almost fact"? It is because I live in a mortal body hundreds of generations from the first Adam and the DNA I have inherited has been subjected to damage and change over the centurys. Further my thinking is the end product of those I have learned from...I know I do not have perfect reasoning...But I have faith and honesty to my self that supports me. I know from reading writers of even the last 50 years that I am not their equal. When I read hundred word sentences written by the founding fathers just at the beginning of the last century I know that even tho our technology and quanity of data has increased about our universe...we have not. We are far dumber than our predessors.
As I look at the trees and plants who have decended from seed to seed I know that if we could trace them back we would find the first one growing in that perfect Garden of Eden that our grandfather Adam lost. Around them would be animals from the miniscule to the huge behemoths whose job was to keep the garden tended. There would be no death and all would be peace and serene. The prunings of the garden would sustain the gardeners and they would be in perfect harmony with the highest of the Creators creations...Man. Both of them perfect in body and mind grasping the totality of their garden...Their duty to tend it, to be fruitful, to multiply, to bring you and I into being! Paradise is gone but it will return and it will be without end!
Take a deep breath an look inside yourself...There you will find what the Preacher in the old testament called (KJV) "Eternity" and what the Baptists call a "God shaped hole". Let "Eternity" reassure you and nurture you and know that God is and that you are His special Creation. When He let them nail HIm to the tree at Skull Mountain it was for you and you alone...He took all your sins ... Paid the price of Death for you. It matters not that He did it for others it was you He loved and died and arose from the grave to provide the payment in full for your eternal life! Live your life to the fullest! Love your family and neighbors. Look for the Blessed Hope who will appear one day at your end of days or before to take you to your eternal habitation.

More later ... the Lord willing ... and the creeks don"t rise.
