God is Eternal – He Can Not Die

Back in the 1960’s some pompous writer wrote an article that God was dead. Over the years, this has become the theme of a number of people. It is amazing that a created being, like man, could possibly say that the One who made them is dead. It would be like a pot telling everyone the potter is dead.

I am often asked, "How do you know there is a God? You can’t see Him. You can’t prove He exists scientifically."

This blog is not meant to give a deep theological or scientific answer to this question. However, I think there are some simple answers to this question.

Think of all the things we can’t see or prove scientifically that we accept as being real. We can’t see electrons, protons or neutrons. We can’t prove they exist scientifically but we believe they are there. I always tell them the answer given in the Bible - look at nature. Here we find many things that can’t be seen or proven. 

 

We believe that when we put a seed into the ground we will get something to grow. Where in that apparently dead seed does the instruction rest that allows that seed to reproduce? We can’t see it. It can’t be scientifically proven but we know from experience that the seed will grow.

The same is true with God. Millions know from experience that God exists. He has proven His existence to them. If you doubt His existence then obviously you haven’t experienced Him.

God doesn’t try to prove His existence in the Bible because it is obvious from the Earth itself that He does exist. More and more scientists are moving away from evolution and going to Intelligent Design. They realize that the planet on which we live is far too complex to have been made by anything other than a being of  unbelievable intelligence
