Does God really exist?

If there is a God, why doesn’t He show Himself?

Hasn’t science proven that everything can be explained by natural processes? Doesn’t this make God…unnecessary? Doesn’t this prove that God and the Bible are just fairy tales written by man?

Good questions.

Are there credible answers? Or, are we left with simply running to a corner and mumbling something about “faith” and that “faith” doesn’t need evidence?

The first TrueU set is dedicated to showing that Romans 1 is true—that even the invisible attributes of God are plain to man because God has “made” it plain to them through His creation.

See, God has not asked us to believe in unbelievable things. He is believable. Abraham believed God. He couldn’t see the reality of what God was promising, but He believed that God was real and that He could be trusted.

No one actually “saw” the resurrection, but the disciples “saw” the evidence of the resurrection: the empty tomb, the grave clothes, even the risen Lord Himself, and they believed. We weren’t there on that morning, but we, too, believe. Yes, the Spirit of Truth is critical in guiding us into this truth and “faith”, but God hasn’t left us without evidence in the process of “believing”. He has given to us His Word and it is filled with evidence that points to the reality of what we haven’t seen.

The same is true in His creation. It is filled with evidence—evidence that points to the reality of who God is and that His truth claims and promises can be trusted with our very life and soul.

This is Christian faith.

It is not a blind faith, nor is it a fairy-tale faith. It is the “substance” of things hoped for, the “evidence” of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).

So, the first TrueU set invites us to look into the telescope and peer into the microscope to examine this plain evidence. Saturday’s filming was an exciting array of detective work, including pondering the reality behind the Big-Bang theory and the fine-tuning of the universe around us—those multiple dials and specifications that could not vary even a fraction without making the cosmos and life impossible.

A naturalistic worldview cannot answer these questions because exquisite order cannot arise from non-directed, random processes. A pantheistic worldview cannot answer these questions because a pantheistic god cannot exist before matter.

We looked at Richard Dawkins and his attack in “The God Delusion”. We examined Steven Hawking’s theory and the impact of Darwinism on asserting that “the God hypothesis” was unnecessary. We examined all of the leading cosmological theories…and found them wanting.

We finished the day with a clear sense that there is an abundance of scientific evidence for the presence of a creative, ordering force—a true First Cause.

What could that be?

Hmmm? I wonder.
