Is there a God?

Our world is an amazingly complex, beautiful, life supporting, and unique creation. “The watch must have a maker…” [1] If a watch, a simple human tool must have a maker, how much more does our complex earth need a creator.

The creatures in our world are so varied and adept.

Compare a mouse, a small mammal that lives in the grasslands, and a giant squid, a giant fish that lives in the depths of the ocean.

How could two very different and complex creatures evolve from a single celled glob of random chance? Only God our ingenious creator could lovingly create the beautiful creatures we see on the earth today,

Humans need someone to look up to; something to look forward to. If there is no God and no Heaven where do you go when you die? You live a live of fear, waiting for the nothingness to come. However with God and Heaven to look forward to you can live a life for Him, not worrying about death.  God is a good companion in hard times. Knowing that God loves you and cares for you gives you a light in the dark world we live in.

If countries, states and cities did not have laws think of the chaos there would be. The president, governors, mayors and church leaders are just mere humans so they miss the important details and needs of our communities. God is perfect and misses nothing. We are very luck to have His perfect Word to live by.

Our fearfully made world needs a loving creator: “The watch must have a maker; that there must have been at some time and at some place or other, an artificer or artificers, who formed it for the purpose which we find it actually to answer; who comprehended its construction, and designed its uses.” – William Paley [2]
