The existence of God (Is God real?)
As human knowledge is increasing daily, man has begun to question the existence of God. It is no longer a surprise to hear someone denies the existence of God. Many groups of atheists have come up in different regions of the globe, publicly opposing the belief that God is real. While there is a significant population in the world that may argue that God does not exist, such arguments hold no water and are ill and misinformed since there is enough undoubted evidence that proves that God is real.
The proponents of the idea that God is not real majorly do not believe that there is the existence of deities and subsequent supernatural powers (Bullivant and Michael 18). Such people believe that everything that happens has natural existence and cannot be attributed to God. Everything that is associated with supernatural power becomes a mere human imagination for one who does not believe in the existence of God. This class of people holds that everything needs to be scientifically tested to be considered valid, failing to recognize that their proposition in itself cannot be scenically proved.
Additionally, the argument that God does not exist nullifies the existence of human soul. Such kind of school of thought only points out that human life comes to an end after death (Bullivant and Michael 25). It becomes baseless to argue that human being has no soul thus there is no life after death. The belief denies humanity the opportunity to hope for a better future that come after death in the resurrection that can only be attributed to a supernatural deity who is God. Such arguments are based on philosophies sine none of the proponents has had an opportunity to die and come back to life thus prove their belief. Questioning human exist presents humanity with a state of hopelessness which is not the actually meaning of life. Therefore, failing to recognize the existence of God makes life to be meaningless yet life could not be something that comes by chance without appropriate reason and purpose.
Supporters of the idea that God is not real also believe in evolution. Everyone who believe in evolution will have no reason to believe that there is an existence of God who has power to create. The evolution theories only support the idea that things came into existence without the influence God or any other supernatural power (Gould 33). The Darwinian theory itself has many flaws strong enough to show that the believers are just blinded individuals who fail to recognize that no human being came to existence by the power of God. In fact, the evolution belief fails to sate where life started in the beginning before stating to evolve. The evolutions with their limited knowledge could not acknowledge that human being had to originate somewhere before starting to evolve as they claim. Thus, the initial origin of humanity could only be traced to some supernatural source which can only be God.
God truly exist and there are various reasons that qualifies such an argument contrary to the proponents who purport that God does not exist. Not only does the Bible accounts prove the existence of God but confirms that He is real. Nature in itself also confirms that there is existence of a being who is not just natural but supernatural. Again, the conscience of humanity and the general functioning of the body of human being can affirm that humanity and its destiny is being controlled by deity who can be none other than God Himself.
The Bible accounts provide valid proof that God does exist. Creation accounts as presented in the Bible is a sure evidence to be trusted than the evolution theory has flaws. According to Genesis accounts of creation, God is the creator and He did His work chronologically from the first to the last day which was climaxed by creating human beings (Genesis 1:1-31). Evidently, the creation of man reveals that man was made out of dust by God himself and gave Him the breathed of life thus making him a living soul. It is therefore untrue to argue that human being has no soul. The hope of humanity is much attached to God. The gospel according to John roves that God has set a place for humanity which shall be inherited after death (John 11:1). Thus, humanity through the existence of God has been giving hope for life after death as opposed to the arguments of those who does not believe in the existence of God.
Additionally, arguing that man came into existence by chance without the input of God is indeed laughable. The bible confirms that man was made for a purpose thus giving meaning to life and confirms that humanity is answerable to God. Solomon in His wisdom affirms that the whole duty of man is to fear God and live in obedience to his commands (New International Version, Eccles. 11.13). The duty given to man according to the bible accounts provides meaning to life hence makes humanity to have a goal to be achieved in life.
History has provided unquestionable prove the events presented in the Bible which has been under direct control of God. For instance, the Bile indicate that there are Kingdoms that shall be ruling the world as super powers within a specified time frame. According to the prophetic recordings of Daniel, the world would have Babylon, Media Persia, Greece and Roman empire rule the world before the final kingdom ruled by God would come (Daniel 2,7). History has confirmed the stated kingdoms taking their rulership and superiority over the world. Thus, it becomes fundamental to belief that thee Kingdom of God also will surely come. God who is real will therefore reign in His Kingdom at the final end of ages, His existence now and in the future is sure and true.
Nature is under the control of supernatural power that can only be attributed to God. There are different calamities that befalls humanity can never be attributed to chance but a super natural origin. For instance, the occurrence of earthquakes can be an indication of a raged God who is punishing humanity because of their evils. Again, the human conscience has power to acknowledge that human being is controlled by a deity. Conscience play an important role in moral development. The conscience that teaches one to abhor evil and uphold good morals are directly influenced by God rather that just natural occurrence.
In conclusion, God exist and He is real. Everything that came to existence including human being traces their origin to God. The nature, history and human conscience all prove to the fact that God exist. Even though there are a number of arguments presented by individual who opposed to the idea that God is real, their arguments are baseless. The evidence provided by Bible, nature and history to prove the existence of God are beyond doubt.
