Does God exist? Do we just have to believe that He exists or can we really prove His existence without resorting to dogma?
Of course, His existence is very much provable.
Look at the millions of stars and ask yourself who created them.
Look at the size of the universe, how many billions of years traveling at the speed of light it will take and ask yourself who would have created such a thing.
Look at our own planet, how everything seem to work seamlessly together, how snow only occurs in Winter, it is sunny in Summer, cool in Spring and plants flower and fade at the same times of the year every year.
Look at how the babies of lions look exactly like lions, how the babies of cows are exactly cows and don’t look like lions and how and why people look like their parents. Now ask yourself, is there no Intelligent Creator and Designer behind all this perfection?
Now look at yourself, how smart you are? You made the computers you are typing on, made the phones to help you talk to and hear people thousands of miles away without delaying a split second.
Why do members of your own race and the races of humans all have their noses growing between their eyes and mouths? Why do you all have seven days in a week? Why is it that you can always tell a male from a female no matter the tone of their skins, the texture of their hairs, the color of their eyes, the shapes of their noses or where and how they live?
Why do we all have the signatures of our lineage (our DNA) eternally embedded in our beings, never to be tampered with? Why is the biometrics of each one of us unique among billions of other people and hundreds of others out there who may look exactly like us?
Yet all you need to do all these is simply to ‘think’ with your brain. But the brain is just a sandwich of flesh, bones and blood to be consumed by maggots when you are just six feet below where you used to walk, talk and run on.
So, wherein lies your own intelligence. And where does the intelligence of great men go to when they suddenly ‘die’?
What makes us live, love, fear, hate and think intelligently?
Isn’t there some Power behind our own powers? Isn’t there a Creative Designer behind our own beautiful creation? Isn’t there some Source of Knowledge that we all seem to tap from for our existence and survival?
Who taught the ants to work in harmony, gather food for the ‘rainy day’ and procreate and pass on the same values to their own offspring since the beginning of time and till the end of time?
Who taught the bee its perfect geometry and gave it its sense of taste and freedom of choice to choose the flowers of its liking? Does the bee know that it has created the most perfect syrup (honey) for humanity’s ailments, yet unrivalled by the medical breakthroughs of thousands of years?
Who taught the tigers how to hunt for meat and the zebras which leaves and grasses to eat and the poisonous ones to avoid?
Who made all these possible?
Chance or Nature? If either Chance or Nature is so intelligent, then why don’t you just call it God, the Intelligent Creator and not deny Him?
Evolution? Then why did we suddenly stop evolving? Why aren’t the monkeys and apes in my jungle growing less hair, walking more upright and start thinking of weaving their own fabrics?
Why are the worms no longer interested in becoming lizards and the lizards in becoming crocodiles?
Why is man no longer producing new human species? Maybe people who can develop gills and live in the water? (‘Homo Fishiens’) Or people who would grow wings and fly in the air? (‘Homo Aviatus’)
If you can’t find any other possible answer, then why don’t you just acknowledge that Somebody, Some Power, Some Intelligent Designer is indeed behind the existence of the brilliant human race and the intelligent members of the creation, whether they are birds of the air, fish of the sea or humans conquering all three elements with their ‘superior smartitude’ ?
If you can’t come up with an all-inclusive name for Him, just call Him what names already exist!
Call Him God, Elohim, Atnatu or simply Allah, ‘the Only One worthy of Adoration’
