Who is God?

A startling question that most people will answer yes to is: Does God exist? Websters

Dictionary (Webster’s p. 412) defines God as the supreme being, seen as the omnipotent

creator and ruler of the universe. Whereas a theologist describes him as God is the infinite

and perfect spirit in whom all things have their source, support, and end. (Thiessen p. 55)

Whatever the case the statistics from Multipoll CGI on the internet show that 86 percent

believe that God exists. Probably half or more of that actually attend a church or seek

after God. Upon further investigation there are actually many reasons to believe in God.

From the beginning man has always had intuition or a feeling of already knowing

certain things. “The law has been written on the hearts of all so that they may recognize a

greater power that is God,” says Pastor Chan of Cornerstone Community Church. “God

has given everyone the intuition of knowing his presence, and the feeling of right and

wrong or moral law.” One author of Introductory Lectures in Systematic Theology says,

“The belief in the existence of God is also necessary. It is necessary in the sense that we

cannot deny his existence without doing violence to the very laws of our nature. If we do

deny it, the denial is forced and can only be temporary” (Thiessen pg. 56). Examining this

statement one fact stands out. If there is no God how could laws of right and wrong be

made? If evolution did happen and human life began to form all around the world, how

would they know right from wrong? Or more importantly, why is there a right from

wrong? While people were still “evolving,” why did they not eat or kill each other? It was

not wrong since there is no right or wrong. Did some humans get together in a room after

they had evolved and vote on what should be right and what should be wrong? Of course

not! That would be chaos because no one would agree, and the list would be very long

even if they did make the rules. And even if such a bizarre list did happen, how would

these laws be already written on a child’s heart the instant that it is born?

If humans “evolved” from and are animals why do animals not have a moral law,

but humans do? For example, if someone has a dog and says, “Bad Dog!” when it does

something that person does not like, the dog learns by the tone of your voice to cower and

hide like he has done something bad. Still the animal will do the bad thing. Why?

Because it has no guilt or remorse for what it has done, and it does not know right from

wrong. Now there are people that do bad things without any guilt or remorse seemingly,

but the bottom line is that people have some sort of conscious that animals do not have.

Humans therefore can not have evolved from animals because animals have no moral law

and reason like humans have. Even further, if all mankind evolved from animals how

come there are no more evolutions taking place? A scientist could waste all of his breath

arguing that the cosmos of the swamp gas that reflected off of Venus affected the earth’s

moon which slowed the evolutionary process on earth down, but without any ounce of

proof it is more logical and takes surprisingly less faith to believe in God than to believe

in some whacked out theory that evolution just “happened” (Dr. Zustiak, Chromey

pgs.11-12 ).

Furthermore, even if every human was made from a random gibberish of atoms,

why should there be a concern of conscience within life? Everyone lives in a world of

everyone else’s opinion according to evolution. If there is no set rules of life and the only

rule is survival, then what does it matter if someone bombs a sporting event? Or who

cares if some guy wants to run around naked screaming “I hate Indians” , while doing

drugs and holding an pornographic magazine as he mows people down with an uzi (any

relation to real life events is purely coincidental)? Truly the world of evolution should be

chaos if there is no right and wrong. If evolution is true then why is the world not as

chaotic as it should be today? It is because there is a right and a wrong that people can

identify with, and God has set what is good and bad on the hearts of everyone in the

world.

One thing that stands out whether someone believes in God or not is the idea that

something comes from something. This is otherwise known as the Law of causality (Dr.

Zustiak, Chromey pgs. 8-10). Everything has a cause, and most people would agree that

something does not come from nothing. An evolutionist would argue, however, that in a

universe of “chance”, if given enough time anything is possible. And then these same

scientists call themselves logical! How can atoms and molecules form if they do not even

exist! For example if humans could live 500 billion years, and let’s say one human

decided to wait for a pizza to evolv
