Does God Exist?
The Bible’s answer
Yes, the Bible provides compelling evidence that God exists. It encourages us to build faith in God, not by blindly believing religious assertions, but by using our “power of reason” and “mental perception.” (Romans 12:1; 1 John 5:​20, footnote) Consider the following lines of reasoning based on the Bible:

1. The existence of an orderly universe containing life points to a Creator. The Bible says: “Of course, every house is constructed by someone, but the one who constructed all things is God.” (Hebrews 3:4) Although this logic is simple, many well-educated people find it to be powerful. For example, the late astronomer Allan Sandage once said regarding the universe: “I find it quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There has to be some organizing principle. God to me is a mystery, but is the explanation for the miracle of existence, why there is something instead of nothing.”

2. As humans, we have an innate desire to understand the meaning and purpose of life, a type of hunger that can remain after our physical needs have been met. This is part of what the Bible calls our “spiritual need,” which includes the desire to know and worship God. (Matthew 5:3; Revelation 4:​11) This spiritual need not only gives evidence that God exists but also indicates that he is a loving Creator who wants us to satisfy that need.​—Matthew 4:4.

3. Detailed prophecies in the Bible were written centuries ahead of time and came true exactly as predicted. The accuracy and detail of those predictions strongly suggest that they came from a superhuman source.​—2 Peter 1:​21.

4. Bible writers had scientific knowledge that was beyond the understanding of their contemporaries. For example, in ancient times many peoples believed that the earth was supported by an animal, such as an elephant, a boar, or an ox. In contrast, the Bible says that God is “suspending the earth upon nothing.” (Job 26:7) Similarly, the Bible correctly describes the shape of the earth as a “sphere,” or “globe.” (Isaiah 40:22, footnote; Douay Version) Many people feel that the most reasonable explanation for such advanced understanding is that Bible writers received their information from God.

5. The Bible answers many difficult questions, the type of questions that when not satisfactorily answered can lead a person to atheism. For example: If God is loving and all-powerful, why is there suffering and evil in the world? Why is religion so often an influence for bad rather than for good?​—Titus 1:​16.

***For example, the late astronomer Allan Sandage once said regarding the universe: “I find it quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There has to be some organizing principle. God to me is a mystery, but is the explanation for the miracle of existence, why there is something instead of nothing.”

Yes, the Bible provides compelling evidence that God exists.

Does Ikemefuna exist?

Yes. China Achebe's Things Fall Apart provides written evidence that Ikemefuna was made to live with Okonkwo who later chopped off Ikemefuna's head.

In the same book, the tortoise named himself All of Us, so only he could eat the banquet provided by the gods.

Common sense tell all that Ikemefuna, Okonkwo and that tortoise story is just fiction

Pity the same common sense knows nothing about the Bible, or perhaps it's because black man wrote about Ikemefuna and white wrote the Bible?

You'd need more than sense that is common to dig deep enough to know, I guess.

That's true. In Yoruba land before the Bible, Obatala made the universe and created life and the earth.

In ancient Greece, Hesiod, in his Theogony begins with Chaos, a yawning nothingness out of which emerged Gaia (the Earth) and some other primary divine beings: Eros (Love), the Abyss (the Tartarus), and the Erebus.

The Koreans claim the world was created by the god Mireuk. While the Chinese say in the beginning was a huge egg containing chaos, a mixture of yin and yang — female-male, aggressive-passive, cold-hot, dark-light, and wet-dry. Within this yin and yang was Pan Gu, who broke forth from the egg as the giant who separated chaos into the many opposites, including Earth and sky.

Ancient Egypt claims that in the beginning, only a chaotic water existed called Nun. The sun god Ra appeared from a lotus flower and gave light to the universe. Ra created Shu, the air god, and Tefnut, the goddess of moisture. Those two gave birth to the sky goddess Nut and the earth god Geb. From them, the physical universe was formed.

The Celts claim that Once upon a time, there was no time and that was when there also was no gods and no man walked the surface of the land. But there was the sea, and where the sea met the land, a mare was born, white and made of sea-foam. And her name was Eiocha.”

Today, some claim a big bang done it in fact, though those who claim so don't tend to worship the bang.

So yes, people everywhere gave credit and worship to one who they were convinced was the maker of the universe, life and the earth. Just that people everywhere gave that credit to the gods they believe in just like you do, since all the gods could not have created the same universe and life and the earth in the various diverse ways we are told they created. And some have learnt from all the myths and grown past that baby stage of believing.

In otherwords people recognise that a Greater Being owns and created the world, even if children of devils refuse to acknowledge Him like stupid tenants to their Land Lord.

What is a god?

Actually, people think and they believe and do not bother considering the available evidence, which shows no evidence of a creator apart from those created by their fellow human beings.

The summary of your points is that people gave credit to someone regarding the origin of the universe and almost every part of the world even though there are many differences as to who that one is. You therefore contradict yourself on what you first said that God does not exist. Your argument is pointless. Try again

True
Many people feel that way
But, logically, that's not really an evidence that God does not exist. That's a kind of different question entirely, a moral question which I'll address later.
If you enter a hostel or a house where the tap is bad, people are fighting and food is poor and insufficient and everywhere is overcrowded and weeds are everywhere. Will you say that that house had no builder?

What evidence is there that life and earth arose by chaos?
I have eyes. It was designed for sight
I have a brain
I have ears, hands fingers, systems and organs and cells with their diverse functions and design but they work harmoniously. Who made them?


A doll may have eyes, head ears, hands, belly button 😂 but they don't even work. Yet, no one says dolls could emerge from nowhere. Hiw much the complex cell, tissue, organs, body, earth, universe?

It takes more 'faith' that all these things could emerge by chance. That kind of 'faith' is called mumu faith. The type that a poor man in a jungle of Africa would think can happen when he keeps a clay pot under his bed and expect it to be filled with dollar coins overnight. It won't happen overnight or even in a thousand years but that imagination is more reasonable and possible than to imagine life emerging by chance 😕

As they may choose to think in ignoring the clear and obvious evidence and fact that no thing in this world is capable of creating itself including themselves were not even able to create themselves and place themselves in the best places in the earth instead of the bad places like they say Nigeria is.

God and a builder don't have thesame characteristics so it is illogical to compare both of them. moreover if they is something wrong with the hostel it is the responsibility of the hostel admin not the builder of the house.

I guess the logical question to ask you then is, who created your god? Unless you want to of course claim your god is not on earth, to wit, where exactly is this god of yours?

Aemmyjah:


What evidence is there that life and earth arose by chaos?

None whatsoever, unless you limit yourself to believing any one myth, since your book says the earth was formless and void and in a state of chaos before your god organised the said chaos.

That people in all cultures and parts of the world give worship or devotion to someone or something gives evidence to a reality that God exists. Read my second point again on spiritual need

You see a house. That is an effect of a Cause that someone built it. A house cannot be the cause if it's own existence

a house does not have a single builder it takes many workers to build a house... My take is the cause of the universe is not God its something else... something we dont know we yet. the jehovah God as described in the bible is a fictitous character that does not exist..

if the parents were alive they wont allow their son throw himself into fire.. can you watch your child burn in fire while you do nothing if God was alive he wont allow people he loves suffer...
