The complexity of our planet points to a deliberate Designer who not only created our universe, but sustains it today.

Many examples showing God's design could be
given, possibly with no end. But here are a few:

The Earth
, Water, Rock, Mountain, Animals Human being and other creations of his.

We know God exists because he pursues us. He is constantly initiating and seeking for us to come to him.


Does the complexity of our Universe point to the complexity of the Designer?

And does the quality of complexity necessitate a design?

Really? Intelligent design is still a thing?

You're basically saying that God exists because the planets exist. This is unfalsifiable, hence, a fallacy.

Your misuse of the word 'design' bothers me. Anyone can define anything that exists as 'designed'. This doesn't mean it has a DESIGNer. You're just putting God into the equation which is pretty much the god of the gaps argument


We know God exists because he pursues us. He is constantly initiating and seeking for us to come to him.

So an omnipotent being really can't get a bunch of mortals to acknowledge his existence?

Jehovah is a European creation?
are you kidding me?
Jehovah is Yahweh and still is
what scraps are you talking about? are you saying Yahweh is forgotten?

Sure but this might be difficult for you to understand
Forget how u hear pastors sometimes use the name Yahweh, their personalities are totally different.

Here's wat u are nt seeing... The worshipers define their God you accept that right?
Yahweh is for the Jews, he has no son, a warrior god, his holy place is on mt. Zion (well all mountains actually) and so much more

Take a look at the history of the deity on this link and read the old testament more

Compare to Jehovah. Beloved father of his son Jesus whom he sent to deliver the world with his blood, a God of love and so much more.
Even many early Christians in Europe never knew of the God Yahweh, the concern of Christians is Jesus and the catholic church didn't use the word until the 1960s

And then..
In
2007, Pope Benedict XVI ordered the Pontifical
Biblical Commission to investigate whether the
use of the name Yahweh was offensive to
Jewish groups, and in 2008 the Vatican
recommended against the use of the word in
new bibles and prohibited its continued use in
vernacular worship


The major difference is Jesus being the son of Jehovah which is an abomination to Yahweh and his Jewish worshipers till today

Why do u think christianity had to be cut away as a separate religion from judaism?
Why have two religions for one and the same deity?
