I'm sure everyone reading this knows of the pro-God argument of "Cause & Effect"
- Everything which has a beginning has a cause.
- The universe has a beginning.
- Therefore the universe has a cause.
Then an atheist would say, "Well why doesn't God have a cause? What/Who created God?"
Well... 1. Everything which has a beginning has a cause.
God doesn't have a beginning, therefore he doesn't require a cause. I wasn't born into a religious family at all, and I've never been to church. I never had a real opinion on whether or not there's a God until a a couple years ago when I began to research the origins of the universe and the structure of Deoxyribonucleic acid. Scientists have tried to create a living cell for years, but have never been successful... Even with all of the apparent ingredients required for a cell they couldn't achieve it.. Because for anything to have life it must be given life by the higher power (God)
The complexity of this universe is that of which we still don't fully comprehend, and likely never will...but It's like you're walking down the street and find a magnificent watch that can perform many complex tasks and is incredible, I approach you and say Hey! thats my watch, give it back... you say okay, but where did you get it? and I respond "well, there was nothing at all in my pocket, no sort of matter whatsoever... but nothing exploded and formed this magnificent creation completely randomly, you'd think NO, there must be a creator. That's how I feel about this incredible planet and universe we reside in.
We know very little about the universe around us, I could be completely incorrect... But I believe the most logical explanation is God. God imo is basically the definition of the unknown, something of such a higher power and complexity that we don't even understand it.
And besides all of the bible/quran prophecies that have been fulfilled, the scientific evidence that strongly suggests a creator/higher power, miracles that happen all the time, the extreme complexity of this universe and the perfect chemical balance to sustain life on Earth, etc. .... all that aside....
I'd rather live like there is a God, and find out there isn't,
Than live like there isn't a God, and die & find out there really is...
