Intro.
Intro level stuff
Can not cover everything
Hit the main points
What Are the Options?
Illusion
We don’t actually exist
Have been a few philosophers to go there
Self-Creation
Chance creation
Universe invented itself
This is not logical
Chance Creation
Big Bang
Everything from Nothing
Breaks the 2nd law of Thermodynamics
Self-Existent Being Created
Only one of these is true
We are presupposing that the Universe was created and that the God of the Bible was that Being - and that is what I intend to demonstrate
The Argument of Cause
Everything must have a cause except the first cause
How do we know there was a builder for this building?
How do we know there was a manufacturer for your car?
How do we know that a painting has a painter?
How do we know that the universe has a creator?
Where does God come from?
Review the law of casuality
Let’s say that someone had to create God - That would make him a bigger God - As you trace that logic - you must come to a God that is infinite
Whoever created the first uncaused cause must be:
The Creator of time must be eternal
The Creator of space must be spaceless (Outside of space) (infinite)
The Creator of love must be loving
The Creator of morality must be perfect
The Creator of complexity must be omniscient
The Creator of interrelationships must be omnipresent
The Creator of boundless energy must be omnipotent
This is how the Bible describes God
If God was created then He is not worthy of worship
This universe must come from something that is infinite - God
Understand that before Einstein - Science argued for a self-existent universe
The theory of relativity proved that the Bible was true and there was a beginning
The Argument of Cause
The Argument of Design
If God created the universe then there should be evidence of design
Ask yourself this question - Do explosions create order?
Fine-Tuning
Everything about life and existence depend upon things being exactly right
There are many examples of the fine - tuning of the universe but I will give you just a few
The sun’s color - if it varied in color - photosynthesis on earth would struggle
The size of the sun - the planets would no orbit correctly
The position of Jupiter - If it wasn’t for Jupiter - we would fly into the sun
Our distance from the sun
Ratio of protons to electrons - Any different and molecules could not form
Any change to the gravitational constant or any other scientific constant - nothing exists (nuclear, weak, electrical)
Change the earth rotation or axis - life can not be supported
Speed of light - Change it and stars can not exist
The existence and distance of the moon
Existence of pollenators

Complexity of Life
At the time of the formation of the the theory of evolution, cells were thought to be little bags of jelly - as our technology increases - so does our understanding that life is much more complex than what we first believed
Life is not only complex but diverse
A single cell, contains 1000’s of simultaneous chemical reactions
The biochemical processes

Beyond this symbiotic relationships - Bees
I am scratching the surface
DNA
Matter that contains information -
Picture it as a book of instructions on how to make a human, cat, ect.
Matter does not produce information
Slide with a quote from Bill Gates
Science, Math, and Laws
Where do laws come from?
Laws have law givers
Consider order in math and nature
Consider the repeatability
The Argument of Morality
God is the objective point:
Illuss.: Am I white?
Hold up a white piece of paper.
There must be a standard
Morals must come from somewhere
If there is no God - There is no good - there is no evil
Video
Illuss.: Witnessing to an atheist in church.
Is it OK for me to kill my child?
If God doesn’t exist - then Hitler is not evil
God has set the standard
Why Do Atheist
Romans 1
If God created this universe and us there are pretty big implications
He created for purpose
He is involved in His creation
He is personal
We are accountable to our creator - we are not in charge
