God exists

1st) Why God allows illness in the world is a tough one to respond to. I do know God has used illnesses before to discipline because of sin, and I do know that a disability has been used to show his glory such as the account of the blind man and Jesus (John 9:1-3). David was weak when compared to his massive nemesis Goliath, yet he gave the battle to the lord. Even Jesus’s mortality, his death at Calvary, has been a beacon of hope and brought many to God. Honestly, I can’t tell you why God lets this or that person specifically suffers or dies because I don’t know everything. But I do know God has used these negative aspects for good. Just because there seems to be negatives at first glance, doesn’t really disprove that god did not make man. On Vestigal Organs, the appendix isn’t a useless organ, it’s a storehouse for beneficial bacteria, read this article[http://bit.ly...]. I don’t know for certain if there really are any useless organs or just organs we don’t yet understand the functions to. How would one know when the ones we use to think were, are not? You are correct that man cannot get a perfect score themselves, but with God, all things are possible. Man can be forgiven and become perfect through God. 2nd) I don’t really see how God’s existence is associated with chance. You can’t flip a coin and say he exists or doesn’t. I’m sorry, it doesn’t work that way. What contradictions state that God cannot exist? 3rd) I’m pretty skeptical on spontaneous existence. Historically speaking, spontaneous existence has a tendency to be disproven in science, e.g. Pasteur’s experiment. The problem is that “nothing” is not a causal agent nor a spontaneous agent by its nature, nothing is not anything by definition. Nothing has no space, no dimensions, no mass, and no causality. What you’re proposing from my understanding is nothing created the universe. It’s self-evident, nothing cannot start the universe, it has to be something because something can be a causal agent, but nothing cannot be a causal agent. It also needs to be noted that whatever caused the universe to exist needs to be able to make causes on its own accord. The only thing I know that causes something on its own accord is a mind, a personal being. This would mean that whatever caused the universe fits perfectly with a personal God. Why say no evidence? Whoever says this is deprived of any form of religious education. Your other arguments Reveal? If you do not believe in Jesus, or the divine attributes that are clearly seen in nature. You would not believe in God even if a person rose from the dead and said he existed. In my mind, he does reveal, in his own way, you just don’t want to believe. then who created god? Well there are exceptions to the cause. I’ll explain it like this, “Anything that exists has an explanation of its existence, either in the necessity of its own nature or in an external cause.” For example abstract entities like numbers don’t have a beginning or ending, time is irrelevant to them, they don’t really cease to exist like material objects tend to do. And it’s because it’s in their nature that they are this way. God in his nature is eternal. Quantum mechanics doesn’t need to explain his origin because he has none. there would need to be supernatural evidence of him existing What do you mean by supernatural evidence? To me life itself is supernatural evidence for a creator. If it is true that Jesus never existed I find this truly mind boggling that the most influential man in all of human history never existed. Many martyrs have died in his name. People’s lives have changed from his sermons. The most widely used calendar (Gregorian) is based on his existence. If you don’t believe that Jesus ever existed, why believe in any historical fact? If you’re after non-Christian sources, I guess you could try Josephus or Tacitus for starters. Though my favorites are the ones from the Bible. if god is supernatural and not bound by time then he would be spontaneously living in all time frames throughout history… What do you mean by spontaneously living all the time? God is eternal, there is nothing spontaneous about that. There is no popping into existence, he’s simply always been. Yes, this is true that God made beings that can be susceptible to temptation like the incident in the garden of Eden. In the same way it is also possible to resist temptation as many characters in the bible have demonstrated (e.g. Job 1:22). For why do you say free will can’t exist because God made man this way? I do not understand. Some people choose to give into temptation, whereas some do not. why would a God create such a big universe and only care about earth? Why assume the earth is all he cares about? The universe is so big that I wouldn’t know that. Also, why would a God have any desire to create us? I believe God made man for his glory. For your argument, give me well-tested, concrete evidence that there is a god. What do you mean “well-tested”? God isn’t something you can put under a microscope and test with chemicals if that’s what you’re after. Also, you didn’t answer my question about where do good and evil come from (unless I missed it). For I do believe that objective moral values do exist, and the explanation to their existence is God.
