Is There Really a God? — Evidence of the Creator All Around Us

“He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.”

— Ecclesiastes 3:11

The Question Planted in Every Heart

From the dawn of time, humanity has wrestled with the question: “Where did we come from?” Scripture tells us that this very curiosity is part of God’s design. He has “set eternity in their heart,” meaning every human being carries within them a longing to understand the purpose and origin of life.

Yet, despite this God-given awareness, modern culture increasingly denies His existence. Schools, media, and public discourse have replaced creation with evolution, portraying the universe as an accident rather than an act of divine intention. The result? Generations growing up with no sense of accountability to a Creator.

But the Bible foretold this shift. The Apostle Peter wrote that in the last days there would be scoffers who willfully ignore God’s power in creation and judgment (2 Peter 3:3–7).

Evidence in Nature — Creation Speaks

Paul wrote that God’s existence is “clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made” (Romans 1:20). Creation itself is God’s signature—visible in every atom, cell, and galaxy.

An archaeologist, upon finding an ancient tool, immediately recognizes it as the product of intelligence. Likewise, the universe bears unmistakable evidence of design and purpose.

Modern science confirms what Scripture has long taught. Dr. Robert Jastrow, an astrophysicist and agnostic, acknowledged that “the motion of the galaxies, the laws of thermodynamics, and the life story of the stars” all point to a beginning. But if the universe had a beginning, it must also have had a cause—and that cause must exist outside of time and space. Genesis 1:1 answers that mystery: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”

The Order of the Universe — God’s Fingerprints in the Laws of Nature

The laws of thermodynamics reveal that the universe is winding down. If it were eternal, all energy would already be spent. Instead, it is sustained by a consistent, ordered system.

This order—the precise laws of physics, the balance of gravity, the predictability of orbits—points to a rational, consistent Creator. Jeremiah 33:25 records God’s words: “If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth.”

In other words, the universe behaves consistently because God is consistent: “For I am the Lord, I change not” (Malachi 3:6).

If the universe came about by chance, we would expect chaos, not order. Science depends on predictability—yet predictability only makes sense in a world governed by divine law.

The Design of Life — From DNA to the Soul

Humanity stands as the pinnacle of God’s creation. “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness” (Genesis 1:26).

Evolution claims that life arose by chance and gradually evolved into complexity. But discoveries in DNA refute that idea. DNA is a digital code—an information system more advanced than any computer program. Codes always come from intelligence.

Even former atheists like Antony Flew eventually admitted that the complexity of DNA demands a Designer. He wrote, “To explain the origin of a code without appealing to intelligence is impossible”.

Furthermore, the human mind cannot be explained solely by physical processes. Nobel Prize-winning scientist Sir John Eccles demonstrated that intention and consciousness cannot be reduced to mere brain activity. Scripture anticipated this truth long ago: “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7).

We are not merely physical beings—we possess souls created in the image of God.

The Moral Argument — Right and Wrong Demand a Lawgiver

If everything came from matter, then morality is meaningless. Without God, right and wrong become personal preferences rather than objective truths. But our conscience tells a different story. Every culture in history has recognized that certain actions—murder, theft, deceit—are wrong.

Romans 1 describes what happens when man rejects God: his heart darkens, his morality decays, and society collapses into confusion and sin (Romans 1:28–31).

Morality exists because it reflects the unchanging nature of God: “There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy” (James 4:12). When man becomes his own god, morality shifts with the wind. When we acknowledge the true God, moral order is restored.

The Eternal Question and the Eternal Answer

So, is there really a God?

The evidence cries out from every direction—through creation, reason, and the human heart. The question is not whether God exists, but whether we will acknowledge Him.

Paul wrote, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). But the same God who created us has also redeemed us. Jesus declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

The Creator who spoke the universe into existence now invites every soul to return to Him.

Conclusion

The heavens declare His glory, science affirms His handiwork, and conscience confirms His law.

The evidence for God is not hidden—it’s all around us. The real question is: will we open our hearts to believe?
