Evidence of God’s Existence in the System of the Universe❖ The Assumption of the Believer and the Atheist
Imagine a desert where two individuals are present: one is a believer and the other an atheist. They both come across footprints in the sand.
➤ The Believer Says:
These footprints are proof of the presence of a third person.
➤ The Atheist Responds:
He rejects the notion and denies that the footprints belong to any human.
Possible Explanations by the Atheist:
① Stubborn Denial:
He may claim he does not see any footprints at all — a blatant denial of reality.
② Scientific Explanation:
He might attempt to provide a scientific theory to show that human-like footprints can form naturally.
③ Complete Desert Search:
He could search the entire desert to prove that no third person exists.
❖ The Believer's Perspective
For the believer, merely seeing those footprints is sufficient evidence of someone’s presence. He accepts their existence on logical grounds and does not demand further proof.
❖ Conclusion
Until the atheist provides a reasonable alternative explanation, he must accept that a third person exists based on the presence of the footprints.
The Universe and the Existence of God
Just like footprints indicate someone's presence, so does the universe:
✔ The order, design, and signs within the universe all testify to the existence of God.
✔ Science cannot deny these signs because it lacks a complete and logical explanation for them.
✔ If someone denies God, they are either ignoring the facts or lacking alternative reasoning.
The Example of Gravity
✔ Science acknowledges the existence of gravity, yet cannot present it in physical form.
✔ What is the evidence? Apples falling to the ground, or objects being pulled downward.
✔ Believing in gravity based on its characteristics is considered logical.
✔ In the same way, believing in God based on the signs and order in the universe is rational, even if He is not seen physically.
❖ Questions That Prove God's Existence
If the existence of God is denied, one must believe that:
This world, with all its systems, humans, animals, plants, and perfect order, is a product of mere coincidence.But can such precise organization be the result of random events?
Some Fundamental Questions:
① Where did the fragrance and color of flowers come from?
② Are the flavors and aromas of fruits just accidents?
③ Why are elements like water and oxygen perfectly suited to sustain life?
④ The water cycle is so intricately designed that it never ends — how?
⑤ The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide (between plants and humans) — why is it so perfect?
❖ Food and Nature's System
✔ The variety of tastes, their growth, digestion, and even waste becoming useful for crops — who designed all this?
✔ The sun and moon, their positions and distances — are they all results of coincidence?
✔ The camel’s body is suited for the desert, flowers have colors and fragrances, animals have defense systems — did all this happen by accident?
Difference Between Science and Religion
◈ Science’s Scope:
Science explains how things work — e.g., how food is digested or how a child is born.
◈ Religion’s Scope:
Religion answers why things are the way they are — why do we eat? What is the purpose of life?
Limitations of Science
Science can explain the mechanics of things, but not the reasons behind their existence.
A person who denies God’s existence has no answer when confronted with the question "why".
Logical Reasoning and the Behavior of Atheists
✔ Those who seek the answer to "why" eventually come to believe in God.
✔ Those who ignore these questions must rely on coincidence or natural selection, which are logically weak arguments.
❖ Contradictions in Evolution
✔ Dinosaurs became extinct due to environmental incompatibility — then how did the camel survive in the desert?
✔ How did such unique traits develop in the camel? Can it be purely by chance?
Examples from Nature’s System
① Chameleon’s color-changing ability – the work of which intelligent designer?
② Electric eel – how can a fish generate electricity in its body?
③ Snake’s venom – why is this specific trait present?
④ Defense mechanisms – why does every animal have a unique one? If everything is by accident, why so much variety?
Summary
Every system in the universe, every creation, every living being is a manifestation of an intelligent Creator.
✿ To believe in God, one does not need to see Him physically — His creations and the flawless system testify to His existence.
✿ Those who deny God cannot provide any strong reasoning to explain these profound questions.
