God exists.

Hello, friend I"ll be arguing for the Triune God of Christianity, specifically. First, I would like to speak of the burden of proof. Yes, the burden of proof concerning God"s existence lies on me (the theist - Christian), yet the the existence of the laws of logic, nature, etc., the uniformity in nature, objective morality (if one believes the evil should be held accountable - yet they believe morality is opinion), abiogenesis, etc. lies on the atheist, as they have no physical evidence for such things. I. I would first start with the laws of logic, nature, mathematics, physics, etc.: The universe is bound to immaterial laws of logic. In a naturalistic/materialistic worldview, these laws cannot exist, as they are immaterial entities. Science cannot prove logic, as we must assume logic for all that we do - I believe most would accept this as a rational presupposition. How could these laws arise if the universe arose by purely natural and physical processes? Why must the universe obey these laws and always work in a logical way? In the Christian worldview, there is a logical and transcendent Creator and Lawgiver. II. Uniformity in nature: The universe continues in a regular, uniform way (e.g. it obeys the Law of non-contradiction in all places at all times). Why? Why should we assume it will continue in a regular way? What determined the universe to remain uniform? III. Origin of universe: Most atheists would assert we just don"t know the cause of the universe. But I believe a Creator who "banged" the Big Bang (I assume it happened) is the most logical explanation. The Christian God is eternal and timeless (and the Maker of time), he is spaceless and infinite (and the Maker of space), he is transcendent and immaterial (and the Maker of matter), and he is unbelievably powerful - omnipotent (the one who created the heavens and the earth and all that is within them [Gen. 1:1]). And of course, this can also go back to the first and second argument, as we need a rational explanation for the laws of logic. nature, mathematics, etc. and the uniformity in nature. IV. Origin of life: The burden of proof lies on the atheist for abiogenesis. We don"t have a shred of evidence that life can come from non-life. Yet, when we observe life coming into existence, it always* originated from pre-existing life. V. Complexity of life: We observe just how marvelous something such as the apple iPhone is. People took probably millions of hours coming up with such an invention. But we look at something as simple as a worm, or lightning bug, or even down to a cell. Lightening bugs are astonishingly more complex than a touch screen phone - layer upon layer of compexity. Or if we observe a "simple" cell, we see how they are not simple at all; they are extraordinarily complex and yet so "fragile" - if one of its functions quit working the entire cell is useless. VI. DNA: Indeed, DNA is fascinating; we see how it is an information and language system. It contains immaterial genetic information, wwhich makes us us instead of a giraffe, or a cabbage. A few broad arguments that we can go more specific into in the later rounds. I"m excited to have a discussion with you.
