Michael continues that the teleological argument says that the evidence of a design
points to the existence of a designer. Kepler built a complex working model of
the universe. When an unbeliever saw the model, he said, "Who made
this?" Kepler said, "No one. It just came into existence” His
atheist friend said "you don't expect me to believe that, do you?"
Kepler said, "You believe that the Creator didn't create the Solar
System, and it's even more complex than this miniature model." A simple
living cell is vastly more complex than the greatest machine ever created or
devised by man. Darwin marveled at the incredible complexity of the eye.
He said that to believe that the eye came about by natural selection was
absurd to the highest degree.
Pastor Kennedy points out that the fine tuning of the earth to support life is another evidence of the
existence of God. If it were 10% closer to the Earth it would burn up.
The thin film of life on the earth is like the skin of an apple. Water
unlike most liquids expands when it freezes allowing lakes to support life and
not freeze over and kill marine life. Presumptuous mortals cannot put one star
in motion or trace the infinite patterns of snowflakes or understand the
miracle of birth or toss one cloud into a sunny day. Puny man who cannot
create one miracle, how dare you doubt the God who can.
Atheists say "Theism" (the belief in an Almighty Creator God) is
a result of ignorance. However, the first one hundred universities in this
nation were founded by believers in God. Aristotle said that the beauty,
order, and harmony of the universe are a result of the will of God. Even
Einstein said, "I pity the man who says there isn't a supreme being.
A vastly superior spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe in which
we must in our modest powers feel humble." George Washington said,
"It is impossible to govern without God and the bible."
Franklin said, "The older I get, the more convincing proof I see
that God governs in the affairs of men."
Pascal said, "The evidence of God and his gifts is even more
compelling." Eisenhower said, "It takes no brain to be an
atheist. Any stupid person can deny the existence of God." The greatest and wisest of men have come to the conclusion that there is
a God.
Another proof of the existence of God is the conversion of a sinner into
a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Testimonies of believers' conversions
point to the existence of a living God who changes human souls and convinces
them of a living God.

John 5:11-14 “And this is
the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He
who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not
have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of
the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you
may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. Now this
is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according
to His will, He hears us.”
Your brother in Christ, Michael
