Creation is evidence to me that there is a Creator God. It may not be definitive proof, but it seems reasonable that there is a Creator. I marvel at nature. It is beautiful, it works, it is astounding in the way it functions. Our bodies are amazing. Mind, heart, and body working together in a way that is incredible. The way of a man and a woman made for pleasure and procreation. Some would attribute all of this to randomness and chance. That seems more a leap of faith to me than accepting the existence of God.
Changed lives point to God. I have seen broken marriages healed, families restored, alcoholics made sober, angry people made gentle, and sexually immoral made pure. And they give credit to God. I have seen prayers answered. I have seen people’s health restored after asking God for healing. This is where some would ask me to explain why every prayer for healing is not answered. I do not know how or why God acts in the way He does. He is too far above my understanding to explain. And it is absurd for the created to attempt to defend the Creator. So I choose to believe.
Creation, changed lives, answered prayers. To me, that is evidence of a God greater than my understanding. I cannot prove He exists because I am one of the created. So I choose by faith to believe in the unbelievable. Because I have seen where He has been. Because He has touched my life and changed me. I would enjoy discussing this more with you.
