Throughout recorded history majority of humanity has seen existence of the Creator, Who intentionally brought the Universe in to being and sustains all life as an obvious truth. This truth does not stem from doctrine or belief system, but it is at the heart of all religions, and is underlying, indispensible principle of most spiritual practices. In Buddhism, misrepresented as an atheistic tradition, recognizes existence of guiding consciousness. As the Zen Buddhist master, Soyen Shaku, said, “Let me state that Buddhism is not atheistic as the term is ordinarily understood. It has certainly a God, the highest reality and truth, through which and in which this universe exists.” Scientific discoveries have only reinforced this realization, as it becomes even clearer the Universe was carefully designed. Prominent British mathematician Roger Penrose calculated the probably of random chance producing a Universe conducive to life at vastly less than scientifically accepted definition of “zero.” Even if one were to accept arguments from those who claim the Universe is not so “fine tuned,” we must rely on the mind-boggling, and empirically unproven, concept of multiple Universes, and then probability of random events leading to life only budges from staggeringly unimaginable to extraordinarily unlikely. And we are still left with such clearly designed, incredibly complex, mechanisms as DNA and the brain. This is not “God of Gaps” explanation, any more than looking under the hood of a car and deducing a designer is “Engineer of the Gaps.” To postulate a random, undirected, meaningless, existence in the face of unbelievable complexity and purpose of life is, in actuality, the much more irrational, and less logical, conclusion. This has been compared to proposing that a hurricane whipped through a junkyard and randomly assembled a jet plane. Late in his life the previously ardent atheist Anthony Flew famously noted, “What I think the DNA material has done is that it has shown, by almost unbelievable complexity of the arrangements which are needed to produce life, intelligence must have been involved in getting these extraordinarily diverse elements to work together.” For his honesty, courage and humility, Flew was mocked, and even labeled as senile, by many ardent atheists, who saw his statement as an unforgivable, heretical violation of their strict dogma that any hypothesis is acceptable except God.
To make the scientific claim that one will “go where the evidence leads,” and yet consider such utterly unsupported hypotheses as multiple Universes, alien seeding (which, of course, still leaves the questions of where the aliens came from), mind memes (a total fantasy) and lightening strikes animated primordial chemical soup to create life (which has never been scientifically reproduced), while not even considering the obvious possibility of a deliberate Creator, is to be intellectually dishonest at best. What are the reasons for this irrational, and often very nasty, refusal by some to even consider the existence of a Creator as a viable hypothesis? I offer several possibilities:
A Childish Concept of God
For many, the belief in a Creator is rooted in a personal, direct encounter, in God experience, others often is pure consciousness, pure creation, endless love, animating energy of everything, or the Ultimate Reality. For those who experienced God Presence God concept is sophisticated not childish, based on immaturity, knowledge and innate gifts. Jehovah God is a man seated on throne in white cloak, long beard who made the world according to Isaiah in the Bible.” Richard Dawkins, for example, said, “We are all atheists about most of the gods societies have ever believed in; some of us just go one god further,” he showed a childish image of God. And he showed a lack of any experience in the spiritual realm. If he had any direct experience he would have known that all these societies were attempting to describe the mystery of Spirit in human archaic terms and idea of competing gods is a literalistic and immature one. Jehovah is the Most High God Above all gods made by man so must humbly recognize theology is an activity for which, frankly, he has little talent or understanding. Such a childish view of God is not limited to atheists but applies to religious folks who place dogma over personal experience, and for whom any digression from dogma is punished.
Tyranny of the Mind
The human mind is a powerful tool, but can also be a cruel tyrant. While it is skilled at storing and analyzing data, it cannot feel, and so there is much such as art, music, compassion, love, sex or Spirit that it cannot truly know. The mind, though, insists on analyzing these things, and tries to convince us that its analysis is the only way of knowing. It does this because it has little trust or no respect for anything not measurable and linear, and consequently it resists recognizing the other essential human facilities: needs of the body, the wisdom of emotions, and most especially, the guidance of Spirit. For those who have developed strong connections to body, emotions and Spirit, the mind can be managed and used properly. There are those who for a variety of reasons, have weak connections to body, emotions and Spirit. Their mind has free reign, dominating their lives and seeking to eliminate anything it cannot rationally comprehend. Then the mind eliminates anything that challenges its supremacy. For such a tyrannical mind, concept of a Creator God Ultimate Superior Being of intelligence that dwarfs theirs own is completely intolerable.
An Ego Strategy
As I’ve written in several previous blogs, the ego is the software implanted in us to ensure survival. Its job is to scan for threats and devise strategies to avoid pain and death. The ego knows only fear, and it will fiercely fight anything that threatens its survival. And nothing is more frightening to the ego than sharing or ceding control with another, because this feels like death. So the ego’s favorite strategy for protecting itself is the refusal to surrender to anything or anyone. It will even go so far as refusing to acknowledge a mistake, to apologize, to recognize superior abilities in others, to admit a weakness and, most pathetically, to ever express gratitude. I recently heard a man state that he “does not believe in gratitude,” but instead prefers the word “appreciation”: “I appreciate a delicious meal or a beautiful sunset, but I feel no need to say ‘thank you,’” he proudly proclaimed. This is the voice of ego. And to make the claim, as did the late Christopher Hitchens (who I deeply respect for his exposure of injustice), that there is no Creator/Designer because Hitchens did not approve of the way that eyes are designed, is also the pathetic voice of ego; it is the refusal to say “thank you” for the gift of life and miracle of sight. This is sad. Clearly one does not need to believe in God or follow religion to be wonderful, happy, caring, human being. What matters most is how we treat each other. But the refusal to even consider that a Creator may exist often accompanied by the adamant desire to “prove” otherwise and to ridicule those who do especially in the face of much blatant evidence, is an indication that a psychological mechanism is at work. Perhaps what is needed for such irrational position may not be more intellectual investigation, but psychoanalysis.
5 PROOFS GOD EXISTS
Dramatic conversion by Astro Physicist one of the world’s leading Cosmologists, Dr Hugh Ross impacts academic world as Paul’s conversion to Christianity! One of the reasons cited by a Prof. Flew was “the evidence.” He admitted for a long time the growing problem of Evolution’s inability to explain how life began, or how anything began, led him to the inevitable conclusion it was inadequate answer in face of God evidence. DNA Genome code unraveled evidence for Design became “undeniable.” These two pieces of evidence 1. the existence of life demanding Life-Source 2. the scientific evidence of an extremely complex code in make-up of life DNA were enough for Prof. Flew to renounce atheism.
CAN WE PROVE GOD?
Some people feel that acceptance of God is entirely a matter of faith. But the Scriptures actually claim that it is the truth which is the basis for this faith (Rom. 10:17). Truth is only truth if it isobjective truth, that is, it is true for everyone regardless of time or circumstances. Thus, God is either true (and there can be objective proofs to support this), or He is not true and only subjective ‘truth’ can be offered for ‘proof’. Some ancient Philosophers have argued that the fact mankind can imagine there being a God is a proof that there must be one. While this argument does have some merit, it mainly has limitations. Taken to its natural application this means that ifanything can be imagined it must exist. Based on the nightmares I had as a three and four year old boy- I really hope this theory isn’t true or I’m not going to sleep well tonight! On the other hand, ‘beliefs’ and ‘truth’ are sometimes not entirely related. Tertullian once bragged that the main reason he so readily accepted Christianity was that it was fundamentally absurd. Perhaps he was alluding to 1Corinthians 1-2 which talks about human wisdom and divine wisdom being incompatible. Some people are so committed to their beliefs that despite the evidence of truth they refuse to change their beliefs. In this way we observe that what some atheists claim is their scientific basis for unbelief is nothing more than belief in opinions rather than evidence. Despite mass evidence to the contrary, many atheists refuse to accept origin of life is best explained by the obvious Designer Creator God. We have to applaud Prof. Flew for having the courage to consider and then accept the evidence. “Proof” though is measured and determined according to the type of claim. The type of proof needed to substantiate a claim involving chemistry is different to type of proof needed to substantiate a claim made about history. Proof in physiology is different to the type of proof needed for psychology. Proof in philosophy is different to the proof required for philology. Proof required for biology is different to the type of proof required for theology. To demand “hard” science: physics, biology, chemistry, astronomy proof tests an only acceptable means for testing soft science psychology, history, philosophy, literature is unreasonable. Thus, imposing natural proof tests on supernatural claims is an unreasonable measure and totally inadequate. But supernatural claims made have natural implications but God appears to many yet makes HIMSELF invisible to others. God created all we see in Romans 1:20 “proof” has universe as the “supporting evidence” looking at natural evidence to support God Supernatural reality.
THE EVIDENCE
Atheists Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, attack theism belief in God by attacking religious behaviour of those claiming to believe in God and abuse of religious rules to oppress people. The type of god religious fundamentalists use for abuse is not Jehovah GOD I AM. Omnipotent God Jehovah the Creator of uinverse and mankind is a Unique Wonderful God. CS Lewis artfully makes the point in “magician’s nephew” several people confronted with evidence of God yet interpret evidence differently. Lewis describes Uncle Andrew’s direct encounter with Aslan who vehemently denied he was seeing and hearing as making himself look stupid. And Lewis, the former atheist himself, continues, “When it comes to proof for God, the evidence is cumulative acceptable proof.


Evidence for proofs for the existence of God invites atheists to reconsider claims there is none. The following reasonable evidence proves indeed the Personal Omnipotent God described in Christian Bible.
PROOFS FOR EXISTENCE OF GOD…
1: Everything has a cause...
It is illogical to suggest something has no cause this is why theory of evolution becomes inadequate. It cannot explain how anything began let alone life. When we consider the evidence that there are things which exist it logically demands someone caused it to happen. Then rule of the universe is the solution origin of all life and things. This demands there must be someone eternal who exists so created all although do not understand this in order for it to be so. At this point some do not try to understand things because minds get in the way. But the opposite is the case perfectly legitimate to ponder things that minds find too big actually too inadequate to comprehend them. Faith and logical thinking are not imcompatible but realise they require discipline and exercise.
2: There is evidence for design
The unraveling of the Human Genome Code was announced to the world as the discovery of the language of the Creator by then President, Bill Clinton. Scientists discovered an extremely sophisticated genetic language necessary for even the simplest life forms to exist. To think this level of apparent design just happened randomly or by chance is mathematical equation of probability with more zeros than can type plus no word for numbers thousands of trillions! The universe displays an amazingly complex level of interdependency logically leads to the conclusion it was designed that way. So there are too many coincidences, just rightness for it to be random haphazard coincidence. The earth is “just the right” distance from Sun; it contains “just the right” mixture of chemicals and gases to sustain life; humans have “just right” ability to breath these gases; the human body has “just right” synergy of internal organs in order to function, and so on. Its important to note the Bible does not give a date for the commencement of creation of the universe, or the date for the creation of mankind. The universe may well be 10,000,000,000 years old, and mankind’s origins may well be as recent as 5,000 – 6,000 years ago. These numbers are in no way counter to the Biblical record, extremely compatible with the evidence.
3: Intrinsic morality point of reference…
How do we know what “evil” is? How do we know what “good” is? These concept demand the existence of a standard to make such evaluations, understanding what these concepts mean. Each of us are born wit innate sense of morality. We each fundamentally know what is right and wrong through conscience. It is incredible to consider matter time, culture, geographic location, or people, the Moral Law has been universally acknowledged. This tends to confirm all of creation bears the finger-prints of the Creator who is fundamentally good and right. We each share knowledge of what is right and wrong not just because we are taught or conditioned to accept such values but because born with them.
4: Resurrection of Jesus Christ…
Skeptics dispute living history evidence that Jesus Christ rose again from death but do so perilously. There is enough evidence to validate it and it is the point all of history of Christ and Christianity rests. This means Christ and Christianity are true as the physical resurrection of Christ. Since Christ literally arose from the dead His History and teachings have have credence. Resurrection of Christ is a historic fact based on the over 500 eye-witness acvounts, the preparedness of all of those witnesses to defend their testimonies even at the point of losing their lives, the resultant baptism in the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues- still available today is most overwhelming piece of proof for the existence of God. In the Bible, in Philippians 2:9-11, God highly exalted Jesus and bestowed on Him the NAME above every name, so at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue confess Jesus Christ is Lord, to the GLORY of God the Father. Jesus said when you see Him you see Father God because He and God are one in Spirit, Love and Unity.

5: Claims of Christ are experienced
Jesus Christ made claims about benefits of following Him. He offered “rest” for the weary, “nourishment” for hungry, “water” for the thirsty, “resurrection” for dead, “direction” for aimless, and “liberty” for the oppressed, “protection” for the vulnerable, “healing” for the hurting, and “salvation” for the lost. I was 15 years of age when I accepted Christ. Never have I ever regretted it. It has been a journey for me that has seen me grow and change. I have felt LORD guiding me. I can honestly say I have heard Him speak to me even though it hasn’t been audibly. He has answered my prayers so I now almost take it for granted my prayers will be answered. He has given my life direction, purpose that I otherwise would never have had. Today He extends to you the invitation to experience for yourself the claims which He has made. The evidence for existence of God is available for honest enquirers as these are honest answers. Those who acknowledge the reasonable evidence of all 5 points of God evidence accept they are no longer “atheist.” Like Professor Flew they bravely embrace the title “theist,” God believer without adopting any particular religious framework. So once this position is reached the next phase of journey is to answer question, “Is religion necessary or even helpful in discovering God?“
IS CHRISTIAN GOD THE CREATOR AS EVIDENCED?
The scientific method is synonymous with methodological naturalism. This is the idea the only way knowledge can be apprehended is if it can be observed. But this is a fairly recent hijacking of what the scientific method means. If scientific method leads to certain deductions be it physical or metaphysical removing the restrictions which might holds back the truth if we employ the scientific method in examining any theories involving metaphysical claims. There is sufficient evidence to show the universe began and must have a beginning, include the dimensions of time and space as part of beginning. Therefore “Beginning Cause” outside of time and space is one of the central claims of Bible about God: He is eternal and dwells ‘above the heavens’ Hebrew 7:26. God is outside of time and space. Applying deductions of scientific method proofs “God” is ahead of time and space. Within time and space there is moral-evil, corruption and decay. The Creator is outside but within and HOLY, immutable, and impeccable. Concept of “God” fits perfectly with the concept of Jehovah portrayed in Christian Bible. So the simplest way to discover Identity of Creator-God is employ scientific method to Psalm 34:8 and Matthew 7:7.
