EVIDENCE OF GOD?
Do you believe there is evidence of “God”’? In deciding, the Bible and science offer their comparative views and evidences for one to examine.
LEADING SCIENTIST’S VIEW OF GOD
World renown scientist Albert Einstein reportedly said: “My position concerning God is that of an agnostic…I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being…I am not an Atheist.” … “In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God.”
However, there are many people, including scientists, who believe in the evidence of God as seen in the Bible.
VISIBLE EVIDENCE OF GOD’S EXISTENCE IS SPOKEN OF IN THE BIBLE
The Bible asserts: “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
In Romans 1:19-25, the Bible states: “what can be known about God is plain to [mankind], because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[g] in the things that have been made [Genesis 1]. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22
THE BIBLE REVEALS WHO GOD REALLY IS
Yet, because of the creator’s great love for mankind, God extended his light to people in darkness through his Son, and gave people the choice of eternal life or eternal darkness and death (John 3:16-19).
“No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known” (John 1:18).
In the beginning was the Word [the Son], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made…And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:1-3; 14; Hebrews 1:1-3). For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16, Matthew 1:20-22).
As evidence that he is the Son of God, Jesus fulfilled all Holy Scriptures concerning God’s promised Savior of the world; and he performed miracles which no one else but the Son of God could do (Luke 24:44-48; John 15:24).
RESSULTS OF ACCEPTING BIBLICAL EVIDENCE OF GOD’S SON
The Bible tells us that whoever believes in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is born again
of the Holy Spirit (John 3:5-6). That believer is indwelt by the Spirit of God; and is become a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). And the Son of God, who was crucified and resurrected, is preparing a heavenly place for all who believe in him as the Bible says (John 14:3; 20:30-31).
