How did God come about? As you can see there are some who do not believe in God. They believe that everthing in the universe just happend by random chance. They have the right to believe and express their ideas the same as anyone else. I realize that religion and God are volatile subjects and can easily turn into an argument. I don't want to argue but I must disagree with those who do not believe in God. I think that with our intelect it is hard to imagine a person who was not created, someone who was always there with no begining. Our minds simply cannot comprehend such a person. Logic tells us that there cannot be a person like that. However we must admit that something or someone started this whole universe. Even if you believe random chance started it, we still have to ask were the stuff that makes our universe come from. We know that nothing can come from nothing. You must have something to start with. If you believe random chance started it all, the question is still "Where did random chance get all the matter it took to make the universe"? "What made the stuff that made the stuff that make up the universe"? And so on and on. If you believe in an intelligent designer, (lets call him God ) we then must ask "Who created him"? And who created the one who created God? And who created him, and on and on. Logic tells us it had to start somewhere. Question: If you were walking through the forest and found a beautiful house, stocked with all kinds of food and clean drinking water. Would you say that it got there buy random chance? Or would you rather say "I wonder who made this house"? That is what has happend with the earth. Out if all the universe( the forest) the earth (the house) stands out. It is completly stocked with all kinds of food and drink (thanks to man there is less and less). Why do we say it all came from nothing? Just as the house in the forest was made so our planet was made to fill the needs of humans. When we see a camera, a radio, or a computer, we readily acknowledge that it must have been produced by an intelligent designer. Would it be reasonable, then, to say that far more complex things—the eye, the ear, and the human brain—did not originate with an intelligent Designer? No one can point to a certain moment as the beginning of time. Even though our lives end, time does not. We do not reject the idea of time because there are aspects of it that we do not fully comprehend. Rather, we regulate our lives by it. Astronomers find no beginning or end to space. The farther they probe into the universe, the more there is. They do not reject what the evidence shows; many refer to space as being infinite. The same principle applies to the existence of God. Astronomers tell us that the sun at its core is 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Do we reject that idea because we cannot fully comprehend such intense heat? Science tells us our MilkyWay is so great that a beam of light traveling at over 186,000 miles per second would require 100,000 years to cross it. Do our minds really comprehend such a distance? Yet we accept it because scientific evidence supports it. God alwas was and will always be. He has no begining and will have no end. Just because we don't understand how something happened does not mean it isn't true. Which is more reasonable—that the universe is the product of a living, intelligent Creator? Or that it must have arisen simply by chance from a nonliving source without intelligent direction? Some persons adopt the latter viewpoint because to believe otherwise would mean that they would have to acknowledge the existence of a Creator whose qualities they cannot fully comprehend. It is well known that scientists do not fully comprehend the functioning of the genes that are within living cells and that determine how these cells will grow. Nor do they fully understand the functioning of the human brain, yet who would deny that these exist? Should we really expect to understand everything about a Person who is so great that he could bring into existence the universe, with all its intricate design and stupendous size? The following verses from the Bible I believe are true. In the end each of us must decide what the truth is.
Ps. 19:1: “The heavens are declaring the glory of God; and of the work of his hands the expanse is telling.”
Ps. 104:24: “How many your works are, O Jehovah! All of them in wisdom you have made. The earth is full of your productions.”
Rom. 1:20: “His invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made.”
