It's your choice

  It’s your choice

The Psalmist writes,

"The fool says in his heart, 

"There is no God." 

                                          Psalm 14:1.

C.S. Lewis makes this observation,

“Supposing there was no intelligence behind the universe, no creative mind. In that case nobody designed my brain for the purpose of thinking. It is merely that when two atoms inside my skull happen, for physical or chemical reasons, to arrange themselves in a certain way, this gives me, as a by-product the sensation I call thought. 

But if so, how can I trust my own thinking to be true? It's like setting a milk jug and hoping that the way it splashes itself will give you a map of London. But if I can't trust my own thinking, of course I can't trust the arguments leading to Atheist or anything else. 

Unless I believe in God, I cannot believe in thought: so I can never use thought to disbelieve in God" C. S. Lewis The case for Christianity.

Scientist have discovered that we are in what they call the Goldilocks zone, which NASA defines as,

The habitable zone is the area around a star where it is not too hot and not too cold for liquid water to exist on the surface of surrounding planets.”.

I have also heard it said that Goldilocks zone is not only the habitable area around a star but also a position in the Galaxy as well.

Either way you look at it we live in the perfect place in the universe. A place that makes life as we know it possible.

To my way of thinking this is not by chance. It is by design. 

Intelligent design means the universe and every atom in it has its place. It means that every human being on the planet is made basically the same way. That we are made in such a way as we can communicate and interact with each other. 

It means the chemicals and everything else in our brains and our body do not act in a random order. Something that could happen if we were not the product of intelligent design.

The way I see it you can’t simply look at the world around us and say there is no God. Simply because everything in the universe exists so that we can exist.

Physicist Dr. Paul Davies who moved from promoting atheism to promoting intelligent design states,

"The Laws of Physics... Seem themselves to be the product of exceedingly ingenious design" 

"[There] is for me powerful evidence that there is something going on behind it all... it seems as though somebody has fine-tuned nature's numbers to make the Universe... The impression of design is overwhelming" Physicist Dr. Paul Davies.

Ultimately however the existence of God comes down to the individual. 

Do you dear reader believe there is a God who designed the Universe and everything in it?

Please think about it.
