We know there's a God because...

Hi Percy The world and especially the US would not be as it is today.The US was populated by people leaving religious persecution in European countries. They came to America to be able to worship God without interference from the Government.This nation was founded by God fearing men on the principals they found in the Bible.Take that away and what would you have?If memory serves me correctly when we had Bible reading and prayer in school this was the most feared nation in the world.We removed those because it offended a few people.Now this nation is the laughing stock of the world.So Percy we would have pretty much what we have today.People would believe that they are their own God and do as they please.God Bless,

Hi Jazzns, Jazzns the problem is not with Christians defined this way Christ Like.The problem is with a bunch of so called christians who know not God or His Son who are of their father the devil and the works of their father they are doing.Then everybody else is their own God so they do as they please and many do a lot better than those so called christians.BTW I don't claim to be a Christian.
I do claim to be a Born Again Child of the King.God Bless,

Hi Percy, I could think of a lot of things but I will mention 3 here.Hawking states, "If the rate of expansion one second after the big bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, the universe would have recollapsed before it ever reached its present size."Odds of this happening by chance 10^128.If the gravitational force were altered by 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000001 percent, neither Earth nor our Sun would exist.Odds of this happening by chance 10^128.For physical life to exist, the mass density of the universe must be fine-tuned to better than one part in a trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion.Odds of this happening by chance 10^128.You have better odds of buying 100 Power Ball tickets and winning all 100 Power Ball lotteries consecutively.All together there are over a 100 finely tuned constants that have beat those odds. If any one failed we would not exist.It seems like anyone could look at that kind of scientific data and come to the conclusion that there was something other than chance at work.But I suppose to many those odds would not matter because that would point to something higher than man which is unacceptable.God Bless,God Bless,

Hi cavediver, Remember Hawking said if expansion one second after the big bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million,
either way. Smaller or larger. In other words it had to be exact.So what do you think the odds would be of this happening by chance?Then what would the scientific odds be of this happening by chance?God Bless,

Hi Rahvin, We are here and that is proof enough.There are other alternatives.God Bless,

Hi Rahvin, I don't either but the odds I quoted have been put forth by Scientist.Inflation was just one of a 122 consants that had those kind of odds to happen by chance.Any of those 122 things not happening we would not be here.So If I was looking at that kind of information with no reference to God as an alternative I would know something was responsible for me being here other than chance.So when I read what Andrei Linde the noted Russian Scientest known as the universal wizard said I would probably jump on his bandwagon.In Discover magazine in 1992 Linde suggests, our own universe might have been created by beings in another universe.But since we do have a book that tells us of a God and I see all these very improbable things. I have to think yes it had to be a super intellegence to overcome all those odds to bring about the universe.So I will choose God over those odds of it happening by chance.I read where some scientist said the odds of life starting on earth was 10^138 that equals: 1 in 1000...[135-more-zeros]God Bless,Edited by Admin, : Shorten long number.
