Three Great Facts about God
BY WAYNE JACKSON
How often do you take time to simply “meditate” upon
God? Here are three important truths about God that you
should consider and appreciate.
God: He Exists
Most people believe in God’s existence because, using
their common intelligence, the evidence points in that
direction. But can God’s existence be proved? His
existence cannot be proved empirically (i.e., scientifically)
as one might prove that water freezes at thirty-two degrees
Fahrenheit. But if one uses his logical ability, he can make
a case for God’s existence that is compelling—indeed
irrefutable.
Throughout the history of mankind most people have
believed in the existence of a superhuman, personal
power. If one concedes that humans generally are rational,
this universality of conviction must rest upon some
reasonable basis. There are several lines of evidence that
point to God.
Cause and Effect
In logic there is a principle that states: every effect must
have an adequate cause. This is the basis of all science.
This “law” of correct thinking bears a relationship to the
origin of the universe. It is well established that the
universe has not existed forever. Dr. Robert Jastrow,
internationally known space scientist, declared that
“modern science denies an eternal existence to the
Universe.”
If the universe has not existed forever, how can its origin
be explained? There are only two possibilities: it was self-
created; or it was created by something or someone other
than itself, and of a nature different than the material.
However, no material thing is able to create itself. If that
were possible, there would be evidence of such. But the
First Law of Thermodynamics argues that matter is not
now being created. Since matter could not have formed
itself, it must have a non-material source, i.e., a “mind”
cause. Great thinkers have concluded that this Mind is
God.
Design
There is another logical principle called “the law of
teleology.” It contends that when an object reflects a
purpose, goal, or design, it must have had a designer.
Things do not design themselves. A pair of pliers has two
handles (with grippers), a bolt, and a nut. Everyone
recognizes the design in this simple tool, and rightly
concludes that it did not make itself.
There are millions of examples of design upon the earth.
Consider the human body. The body has a number of
intricately designed living systems that function in
amazing harmony to facilitate the existence of the human
person.
Life itself is a mystery that cannot be explained naturally.
The late Dr. Edwin Conklin, a former professor at Princeton
University, compared the so-called “accidental” creation of
life to the equivalent of an explosion in a printing shop
producing an unabridged dictionary!
The human body is a highly organized machine consisting
of some sixty trillion cells, each a tiny factory with many
components that must work in harmony with precision
and skill. Is this just an accident? Certainly not! Only the
most gullible could believe that.
The average adult has some 206 bones. These provide an
internal framework for the body, protecting the vital
organs. They also function as levers, attachments for
muscles, and they produce chemical elements for the
welfare of the body. If a house cannot build itself, could
mere “nature” build a human body?
The circulatory system contains some one hundred
thousand miles of pipeline (arteries, veins, and capillaries),
which course through the body, providing the cells with
food and oxygen and removing wastes. Does anyone
imagine that the pipe system beneath the city of San
Francisco fashioned itself strictly by chance?
The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and
the nerves—a tremendously complex arrangement (more
complicated than the phone system of a major city) that
transmits information by means of nerve impulses at the
speed of 300 miles per hour from the brain to various
parts of the body.
The brain itself is a vast library of information. Carl Sagan,
an atheist, estimated that the human brain has the
information equivalent of a library of some twenty million
books. Does anyone believe that the Library of Congress
came together by chance? Reflecting upon the brain,
Oxford atheist professor, Richard Dawkins, in commenting
upon the complexity of the brain, exclaimed: “If anyone
doesn’t agree that this amount of complex design cries
out for an explanation, I give up.” Unfortunately, he had no
explanation.
Moral Sensitivity
There is, within all human beings, a sense of ethical
“oughtness,” i.e., the awareness that there is a difference
between “right” and “wrong.” Men may disagree on what
constitutes right and wrong, but the concept of morality
itself is universal. How can the presence of moral
sensitivity be explained? There are but two possibilities:
the “conscience” (i.e., the notion that right and wrong
exist) either was implanted by the Creator at the time of
humanity’s genesis, or else it merely “evolved,” and is a
self-imposed ideology.
If man’s measure of good and evil is a self-manufactured
impulse, then every person becomes his own “god,”
setting the rules of conduct as he sees fit. While it is the
case that morality is essential for the order and
preservation of society, that by no means restrains the
rebel who thinks he can violate common law and do as he
pleases; and if he manages to escape the temporal
consequences of lawlessness, he believes he has no
moral culpability. Atheist philosopher Jean Paul Sartre had
it right: “Everything is indeed permitted if God does not
exist.”
The evidences for God’s existence are vast. Believe!
God: He Cares
For many people, the great obstacle to belief in God is the
problem of suffering. If humanity suffers, can there be a
God who really cares? Because men cannot subject all
suffering to meaningful analysis, the assumption
sometimes is made that there cannot exist a benevolent
God.
The problem is framed like this: if God wishes to prevent
evil, but cannot, he is not all-powerful; if he can prevent
suffering, but will not, he is not good; if he has both the
power and will to eliminate suffering, then why is such in
the world? The fallacy of the argument is in the
assumption that there is no good purpose to be served by
allowing suffering in the world.
No one should be so presumptuous as to assert that man
can completely understand the problem of suffering.
Humanity is not privy to the entirety of the mind and
purposes of God (Romans 11:33). Enough answers are
provided in the Bible, however, to allow us to accept that
inexplicable percentage on the basis of faith.
First, when one raises the question of suffering, he is
appealing to some universal system of justice which
suffering allegedly violates. But, if there is no God, hence
no universal system of “rightness,” why would suffering be
deemed evil? Consider carefully the following.
God is a being of love (1 John 4:8,16). But love allows
freedom of choice, and where there is freedom, there is the
possibility that finite beings will make wrong choices.
Wrong choices can entail suffering. If all choices, good
and bad, produced the identical effect, how would one
ever learn to choose the former and reject the latter? Or
even want to? Thus, where there is freedom of will, there is
the inevitable consequence that finite beings must be
allowed to suffer the consequences of their choices.
The Consequence of Choice
There are multiple causes of suffering in the world. We
frequently suffer due to our personal wrong choices . If a
man steals and goes to prison, whose fault is it (cf. 1
Peter 4:15)? Much suffering is a consequence of other
people’s misuse of choice. Would we covet freedom for
ourselves, yet deny it to everyone else? An innocent
person may be killed in an auto wreck involving a drunk
driver. We sometimes pay the price for others’ freedom to
make decisions.
Some suffering is the result of freedom as abused by
former generations.
