Does God Exist - Science Says Yes
Put yourself back as long as it takes to the time where there was no life on the earth at all. Just primeval soup! (So some scientists might say). Plenty of water, carbon dioxide, ammonia and all the trimmings of trace elements. The right temperature and pressure too, and no man to spoil it all with greenhouse effects and pollution.
But no life. Just soup! And no one (so some scientists might say) to plan its future for it.
But (so they say), some molecules of water, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and this and that, happened to hit, and stick together to make bigger molecules: - and bigger, - and bigger, - and bigger, until some of them were as big as big protein molecules in our bodies, and rather like them too.
But nobody planned it. There wasn't anybody.
Then these big molecules 'found out' how to repeat themselves, a bit like newspapers off the master rollers of a printing press, or better, viruses in our life-cells.
Then -but how clever these molecules were - they learned to organize themselves too, and make organs for breathing, feeling, moving, digesting, reproducing by means of sex in a much more exciting way than those first molecules.
But nobody planned it. There wasn't anybody.
At last we arrived, Homo sapiens, the great thinker, who could put two and two together, and work things out, and build computers, and fly to the moon.
And no one planned it. It just happened. Molecules hitting one another, and the temperature and pressure being just right.
But if no one planned it, there isn't a plan. It all took place by a gigantic accident, and there is no reason in it at all. We are all robots going where chance decides it.
And science knows that does not make sense. There would not be any science if it did, and there would not be anybody with the reasoning power to find out.
Only the existence of God makes sense of all this, and we had better go back to the beginning:
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.'"
Then we shall be in a position to do what the Bible recommends, and to reap its blessings:
"Without faith it is impossible to please (God). For whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists, and that he rewards those who seek him."
