How Does Nature Help To Prove God's Existance?
How Nature Helps to Prove God’s Existence
Nature looks up to God, the trees, mountains, the sun shines down on us, the world is full of amazing miracles; The creatures are complex in how they are
made and look, each one being different from the other. How you can tell how old a tree is by counting the rings, is that not amazing? Each human body, though
some may look alike, they are all different, think differently, talk differently, and their lives are different.
The sun shines down on us through the days, its energetic heat warming the earth at exactly the right temperature. If the Earth were any closer or
farther from the sun, we would all either burn to death, or freeze to death. My point... If the earth were not perfectly stable where it is, we would all die.
This cannot be a mistake.
If you don’t believe that God made the universe explain this to me! Our earth is the only planet that rotates on an axis, at around 23.5 degrees; and has a
livable atmosphere, gravity, and life. Why are not any of the other planets livable? Or have life on them?
God supplies our needs in nature; the fruit and vegetable trees and plants supply an abundance of our food; Also for the animals, creatures, rodents, and
bugs does He also supply food and shelter for.
Grass, plants, trees, bushes and other living plant-like things are able to grow; But how? They don’t have blood and bones. They have water green stems,
and trees have trunks. How can all of these things be so perfected and be an accident or a mistake? It really shows how they have to have a maker or creator.
There are no other gods such as ‘sun gods’ that only create certain things. There is only ONE True God who created ALL OF IT and is the God of ALL OF IT.
He (God) created everything, - people- plant life-organisms- atoms, and everything else; If parts of the Bible is true than isn’t all of it? God must be
true. If a normal person was ‘god’… well they wouldn’t be. Man cannot even make a single living thread of grass, and defiantly cannot make a person, animal, or
plant. They can only mix, change, destruct or destroy what is already there. There is a God and He did come down to earth in the form of a man, to his creations
but He was not a normal person, He was without sin, and yet He died for our sins. He Was and Is the only TRUE God.
God is not in everything though his artistic work may be;
Rain, clouds, sleet, hail and snow all show amazing features; Water re-cycles itself; and falls as rain, if there is a storm or very cold
weather the water vapor gets so cold that it becomes sleet, hail and snow. Snowflakes consist of six edges of flakes on each flake of snow. Every single piece is
different than the other. There are no two of the same things. That is too complex for it to be any mistake. And it isn’t a mistake, there has to be a God soooo big
that He could and can create a Universe, even if everyone living in it doesn’t acknowledge Him and His work. Who are we to say that it was a mistake?
Also have you ever heard of something good or pleasant coming from an explosion? Look around, when you blow something up (such as a bomb, firework or
other explosive) does it end up as a human being, a house, store, or animal? No! That just doesn’t happen. So the theory that we came from something that
BLEW UP is absurd.
If the world was a mistake then wouldn’t there be mistakes in it? Would there not be more days to take to make a full circle of the earth? (Or year) Would
not the earth be tilted or slanted more or less as different years come and go? Would our atmosphere be losing a lot of its control, and gravity? No it’s not because
the world isn’t a mistake, it is a creation.

There's lots of things science can't explain. We don't know the Big Bang singularity (the exact place where it happened) but heck, we didn't even know how plants make food without eating anything until the 1700s, and there are still mysteries about photosynthesis. We keep asking questions, conducting more experiments, verifying our results. That's the scientific method. Also, I think the author of this piece has a slight misunderstanding of the Big Bang Theory; it basically means that there was an expansion starting at the middle of a black hole (or something, the jury's still out), and this expansion continues today. Point 2: I don't understand why we should give God all the credit for things that science can't explain yet. I trust in science, since it produces results that really can't be disputed. Yes, sometimes science gets stuff wrong, but that's due to human error (and for the record, science doesn't claim to be divinely inspired.) I mean, looking through religion throughout the ages, I don't understand why any religion is more legitimate than another, from the beliefs of the Aztecs to Christianity to Islam. It seems to me that trusting science, something that we know to be fact and has progressed throughout the ages, is more trustworthy than religion, which has changed radically and sporadically over time. Point 3: I'd like to address the entire claim of this piece. I'll admit that the article is very well written, much praise to the author. However, the argument seems to be to be that since the world is so complex and beautiful, doesn't that mean some Creator must be responsible?
I'd like to cite the Rock Star Principle. Lots of people aspire to be rock stars, and only a tiny percentage are successful and hit it big. I feel like the same is true of life in general on Earth, and the fact that there is life on Earth at all. Organisms that weren't able to digest food efficiently didn't live so long, so they died out, and those with the capability of acquiring energy quickly were able to live and then reproduce and pass this effective, useful trait on to their offspring. (This is natural selection, by the way.) So, naturally, the amazing, complicated organisms we have today evolved from those that had helpful traits! Of course, this happened through lots of trial and error. You, and I, and maple trees, and every single organism around, is a Rock Star! And we focus on those who made it big, not those who weren't so successful. I think this is amazing, but I don't believe this is all due to God and his plan.
Point 4: This is my biggest problem with religion. I don't mean this as a personal attack on anyone. In fact, I'd love to hear your critiques of atheism, and then we can have a mature, open minded conversation. I think if there was an Intelligent Designer, there would be a lot fewer problems in the world. I'm not going to lie. I have a very cozy, first-world life. I don't have to worry about where my next meal will come from! I don't have to worry about my safety on a day to day basis! I have a loving, supportive family and a great education and I can spend times working on my passions. I am extremely lucky, and grateful! But many people are not nearly as lucky. I honestly don't understand why a benevolent god would create illnesses like depression or AIDS. Why are there so many people in the world who don't have enough to eat? So many people who take their lives each year because they feel completely alone in a world with 8 billion people? Why do we have natural disasters?
Also, the world doesn't run smoothly. Photosynthesis and aerobic respiration, how plants and animals get most of their energy, are VERY inefficient processes. Why would God design them this way? Also, why does our main light source, the sun, give us cancer? Whew, that was a very long comment. Kudos to you if you read it all! Have a nice day. :D
