Is there a God?

Is there a God?

The Psalmist writes,

"The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 

Day after day they pour forth speech; 

night after night they display knowledge. 

There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard." 

                                                                                                 Psalm 19:1-3.

Voltaire wrote,

“I cannot imagine how the clockwork of the universe can exist without a clockmaker.” Voltaire.

We live in a perfect universe, at least when it comes to our existence. We are in what scientist call the goldilocks zone. The perfect place not just in the solar system but it in the universe in general. Scientist tell us that if the earth was just slightly closer to the sun or just slightly further away life as we know it would not exist. 

Even Stephen Hawking one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century admitted,

"It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us," Stephen Hawking.

Nobel prize winner John O’Keefe wrote,

"We are, by astronomical standards, a pampered, cosseted, cherished group of creatures... If the Universe had not been made with the most exacting precision we could never have come into existence. It is my view that these circumstances indicate the universe was created for man to live in." John O’Keefe.

That being dear reader. You must decide for yourself whether or not God exists.

Please think about it.

It's not Luck. It's God

  It’s not luck It’s God

In the book of Genesis we read,

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." 

                                                                          Genesis 1:1.

Can you imagine wining a lottery in which the odds are an astronomical 700 quintillion (7 followed by 20 zeros 700,000,000,000,000,000,000) to 1 against you. That’s what Discover magazine suggests is the odds of a planet anywhere in the universe having life as we know it on it.

Some scientists tell us that we got the winning ticket. Christians say it was God that designed the universe for us.

Even Stephen Hawking one of the brightest minds of the twentieth century noted,

“The universe and the laws of physics 

seem to have been specifically designed for us” 

                                                             Stephen Hawking.

Lord William Kelvin Noted for his theoretical work in thermodynamics,

“If you study Science deep enough and long enough, 

it will force you to believe in God”

                                 Lord William Kelvin

Werner Heisenberg father of Quantum Mechanics Nobel prize in physics said,

“The first gulp from the glass of natural science will make you an atheist,

but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you” 

                                                                   Werner Heisenberg 

William Philips Nobel prize winning Physicist stated,

“I believe in God more because of science than in spite of it”

                                                                            William Phillips

All of these are distinguished all agree there is a God. So my question to you is, Do you have the faith to believe in God, because the writer of Hebrews states,

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”  Hebrews 11:1

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6.

Please think about it.

Not by chance

 Not by chance

In the book of Genesis we read,

"In the beginning 

God created the heavens and the earth." 

                                                           Genesis 1:1.

I believe this for one simple reason. When I look at the universe we live in from the largest galaxy to the smallest sub-atomic particle. I see them all working in perfect harmony to create life as we know it. Only God can do this.

I do not have enough faith to believe that life as we know it happened by chance.

What do you believe?

Please think about it.

God Cares

 God Cares 

Jesus tells us,

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.' John 3:16,17.

On February 14, 1990, NASA at a distance of 6 billion kilometres (3,7 billion miles) had the Voyager 1 space probe take a picture of the Solar system. It showed earth as a pail blue dot smaller than the head of a pin. 

Looking at it we see just how small earth is in the universe. Within the vastness of the universe it seems insignificant. Yet it is everything to those of us who live on it.

Some have said there may be more planets out there in the vastness of the universe that has life. While that may be true it is our planet and our planet alone that is important to us. We have no other place in the universe to live.

This pail blue dot we live on is also important to God. For He entered the world in the form of His one and Only Son Jesus Christ.

When we look at the Bible we must remember that it is not a science book. But rather a book of relationships. Man’s relationship with God as well as man’s relationship with his fellow man.

Galileo Galilei wisely said,

“The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, 

not the way the heavens go.”

                                 Galileo Galilei.

The way I see it is God did not see those of us who live on that pail blue dot as insignificant. Quite the contrary He created us to have fellowship for all eternity with Him.

That being said God chose to give each person a free will to do as they wished. To believe in Him and that He created the universe and everything in it. To believe that He entered the world in the form of His One and Only Son Jesus Christ or not to believe.

Thus the choice is yours. Do you believe there is a God? Do you believe in Christ Jesus?

Please think about it.

Science and God

Science and God

The Psalmist writes,

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 

Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. 

There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard." Psalm 19:1-3.

I have always believed that science done right will one day prove the existence of God. 

The late Stephen Hawking even said,

“It would be difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of God who intended to create beings like us" Stephen hawking.

Lord William Kelvin, noted for his works in thermodynamics said,

"If you study Science deep enough and long enough, it will force you to believe in God" Lord William Kelvin.

Werner Heisenberg father of Quantum Mechanics and Nobel prize winner in Physics said,

“The first gulp from the glass of natural science will make you an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you" Werner Heisenberg.

The science seems to me a layman to be proving there is a Creator God who created the universe and everything in it.

The choice however is yours.

Please think about it.
