Q

Logical Evidences That There Is A God (Argument?): ♦Based upon the Law of Cause and Effect. If there is no God, then the question must be asked, “Where did everything come from?” An infinite Creation demands an infinite cause, an all powerful, all knowing, uncaused first cause, or simply put - God. Just as the existence of a watch logically demands the existence of a watchmaker, the existence of Creation demands the existence of a Creator!

A

Cosmological argument

182
Q

Logical Evidences That There Is A God (Argument?): ♦The existence of Design implies a designer. The intelligent design, purpose, and order of the universe indicates an intelligent Designer.

A

The Design or Teleological Argument

183
Q

Logical Evidences That There Is A God (Argument?): ♦The fact that Mankind’s Innate Knowledge of God’s Existence is a universal phenomena is evidence that this knowledge was placed in us by God Himself. All of humanity has an innate knowledge of the existence of God.This is true of all civilizations and cultures world-wide, including completely isolated tribes. This is because God placed the knowledge of His existence “in them”.

A

The Innate Knowledge or Universal Belief Argument

184
Q

Logical Evidences That There Is A God (Argument?): ♦Since the concept of God is infinitely greater than man’s finite mind, it cannot have come from man’s finite mind and therefore must have been revealed by God Himself. Skeptics often purpose that it was man who created God, rather than God Who created man. If man had created God from his own imagination, what kind of god would her have created? The answer is clear. Man would have created gods made in man’s image or in the image of things man can see.

A

The Ontological Argument

185
Q

Logical Evidences That There Is A God (Argument?): ♦This argument is especially potent in the light of our natural antagonism to the moral restrictions that God’s perfect nature places upon us. If we had imagined God, we would have imagined the perfect God of the Bible, but one far less demanding, restrictive and hard to understand.

A

The Ontological Argument

186
Q

Logical Evidences That There Is A God (Argument?): ♦Man could not, and would not, have ever imagined the infinite, holy, just, and loving God of the Bible. This happened in the pagan culture of the world. Immoral finite men would have created gods who were merely exalted men. Men would imagine immoral finite gods (the fickle and fleshly Greek and Roman gods). Man would have worshiped things he doesn’t understand (animals, sun and stars). Man would have imagined gods who justified their hatred and desire to kill their enemies, to rape their enemies’ wives, and steal their enemies’ lands, (such as Allah).

A

The Ontological Argument

187
Q

Logical Evidences That There Is A God (Argument?): ♦Man’s mind, rationality, and self-consciousness could not arise by chance from mere molecules. The immaterial cannot arise from the material. Atoms do not know that they exist. They are not self aware. Man’s self-conscious, rational nature implies a self-conscious, rational Source or Creator, the God with eternal mind. Man’s mind, soul and spirit could only have been created by a God Who is Spirit, a God with mind, emotion, rationality, self-consciousness, self-awareness, and will.

A

The argument from Consciousness or Mind

188
Q

Logical Evidences That There Is A God (Argument?): ♦This argument demands a self- conscious and moral Maker. Though man’s conscience is often weal or ignored and may even become seared, it nonetheless exists in all men and tells us we ought to do right. This implies a moral God who planted a moral nature within us.

A

The Argument from man’s Conscience and Moral Nature.

189
Q

Logical Evidences That There Is A God (Argument?): ♦If the universe and man were merely random chance arrangements of atoms and chemicals, then no morality could exist. Yet absolute morals DO exist. It IS wrong to torture children for pleasure. It is admitted by those on both sides of the debate that there is no logical basis for any absolute morals if there is no Creator/God. Therefore, we can only reject the existence of God if we are wiling to reject the existence of ALL absolute morals. The fact that absolute morals do and indeed must exist implies a moral Maker, Lawgiver and Judge.

A

The Argument from Morals

190
Q

Logical Evidences That There Is A God (Argument?): ♦All evidence for miracles, fulfilled Bible prophecies, the inspiration of the Scriptures, and the resurrection of Christ are ultimately evidences for the existence of God.

A

Evidences for Supernaturalism

191
Q

Logical Evidences That There Is A God (Argument?): Has 3 Points;♦Changed lives - When multiplied millions of persons century after century profess to the total life changing power of the New Birth. ♦Personal Relationship - Millions of believers can profess what love, joy, peace, and sense of God’s presence and providence a daily personal relationship with God brings them. ♦Answered Prayers - Hundreds of millions of testimonies could be given of amazing supernatural and natural answers to specific prayers.
