IF you don't believe in GOD. Then Disprove Cause and EFFECT. well I have more important things to do than arguing with people who cannot defend their disbelief. |

FrancisTony:Sorry I said Disprove not disapprove And You say Cause and Effect doesn't have prove eh? even an atheist can prove it. Or maybe you don't know what it means. If you say it doesn't have prove then you are saying you weren't born and nothing can cause something. Well let me give you the benefit of doubt that you don't know what it means. because even someone who doesn't believe in GOD can prove it. |

Religion / Great Facts About GOD by Esiri111(m): 7:09pm On Jan 25, 2015 |
I just came across this at ChristianCourier.com 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. read fully @https://www.christiancourier.com/articles/1360-three-great-facts-about-god?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C5455042515 |
