is there a GOD? June 28 The purpose of this very brief but important question is to offer a logical, practical, pragmaticproof of The Existence of God from a purely logical and scientific perspective.   My question to YOU is the following. If a brand new computer or notebook lap top, with the latest operating system, fully equipped with, Intel Core Duo and 64-bit New Core 2 Duo processors,  with two execution cores on a single chip,  able to run multiple multimedia applications in parallel without slowing the system, plus able to support dual hard drives with up to 240GB of storage, (120GB x 2) accommodating all your digital treasures suddenly appeared on your desk.  Would you think that this computer just evolved out of thin air? Edmund DeSoto About The Author   At times, I find myself surrounded by people that will go to great lengths to deny, debate and argue the existence of a loving GOD.  I run into these type of people not once a week or once a month but on a daily basis.  It is almost as if we are drawn to each other. I find the world literally filled with unbelievers. There is a saying that says that "opposites attracts". Well I can honestly say that this statement is very true in my life. Imagine, I travel the ountry and world preaching the Gospel, the Good News of the Kingdom of God and its King Jesus Christ. The first people that I always encounter are people that question, argue and debate the existence of a loving GOD. Because of the fact that "Signs and Wonders" follow this ministry, the Lord shuts the mouths of the unbelievers and opens their eyes by glorifying Himself.  This however doesn't always work. The Power of God has never changed the lives of people.  Israel saw His Power in Egypt and still went ahead and worship a golden cow three days later in the desert. During the tme that the Lord was walking the earth as well, the people of Judea saw His glory and His healing Power, yet many refused to receive Him and believe that He was the promised Messiah of Israel. However those who did receive the truth were and still are being welcomed to an eternal relationship with The GOD of Creation. But those who deny this truth, to an eternity of anger and hatred. "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:"  John 1:12 KJV Whatever the reason, those who deny GOD's existence come across as hostile, hateful and emptied people.  They usually want to drag their friends, family members and all those around them into an eternity of darkness along with them. How sad. It is as if they have been given an assignment to convince the world that God doe not exist. They find the need, the necessity to share this lie that comes directly from the pit of HELL to the entire world. So, the purpose for this very brief but important question, "Does God Exist?" is to offer a logical, practical, pragmatic proof of the existence of God from a purely logical and scientific perspective.  Since it is such a vast topic, it will be done in several articles. To begin to do do this, we are assuming that we exist, that we are real and you the reader is reading this article via the Internet, an invention of man. We are assuming that there is reality, and that the matter of which we are made is real.  If you do not believe that you exist, you have bigger problems than you think and the information that this article will entail will not help you.  You will have to look elsewhere.  You will not even be able to help others come to this wonderful understanding that God Does Exist. As a matter of fact, you will not even be able to help yourself from yourself. So to begin, my question to you is the following. If a brand new computer or notebook lap top, with the latest operating system, fully equipped with, Intel Core Duo and 64-bit New Core 2 Duo processors,  with two execution cores on a single chip,  able to run multiple multimedia applications in parallel without slowing the system, plus able to support dual hard drives with up to 240GB of storage, (120GB x 2) accommodating all your digital treasures suddenly appeared on your desk,  would you think that this computer just evolved out of thin air? NO. I think NOT. Or let's take a look at something more simple. What about if a beautiful race car,  designed to speed up to 200 miles an hour with... Technical data Six-cylinder petrol engines Four-cylinder petrol engine 6-speed manual transmission 6-speed automatic transmission Lightweight suspension Electric power steering Dynamic Stability Control Dynamic Traction Control Sport mode Ergonomics and safety  Safety system Roll-over system Cornering Brake Control Run-flat tyres Tyre Defect Indicator Bi-xenon headlights High-performance braking system Two-stage brake lights Equipment and accessories  Exterior equipment Interior equipment and Communication suddenly appeared in your driveway? Would you think that this car just EVOLVED out of nowhere? Would you think that this car actually put itself together and that it didn't have someone that designed it, that it didn't have someone who thought of it and put it together? In my opinion only an IMBECILE would think that way. Webster Dictionary's definition for Imbecile is "weak, weak-minded. A FOOL, and IDIOT." An Imbecile is a mentally sick individual who is incapable of comprehending the Existence of his CREATOR.  For the Scriptures declare of the Psalmist... "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:  marvellous are thy works;  and that my soul knoweth right well." Psalms 139:14 KJV No logical, or highly intelligent person would think that neither the computer nor the car just happened to evolved by themselves.  Both the computer and the car have a designer that created them and put them together. I have news for you, so do you. There is a GOD that created the Universes and everything that in them is, including the stars, the planets, and the suns. There is a GOD that created man and all the animals in the field. There is a GOD that has given us the FREE Gift of eternal life and it is up to you to receive it. There is a GOD that holds your very life in the palm of His hands right now. Every single individual that has ever lived on planet earth will be given the opportunity to make a very intelligent but very critical decision before they leave this earth for eternity. The Scriptures declare. . . "See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; in that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God,  to walk in His ways,  and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments,  that thou mayest live and multiply:  and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it."  Deuteronomy 30: 15,16 KJV Chose LIFE today that you may live and that you may live forever with HIM. I am surrounded by Imbeciles that deny the existence of a loving GOD. I see them and listen to their comments daily both in my secular life, Ministry life and even with members of my family.  The Bible calls these people FOOLS. These FOOLS, these IMBECILES love life but despise the LIFE GIVER, the originator of life itself. They despise HIM that lives. They despise Him so much, that they go out of their way to deny His existence, living most of their lives criticizing, ridiculing those who belive and serve the GOD of the Universe. Their hearts are full of hatred and resentment. They hate, they bad mouth even their friends, they think only of themselves, they are full of jealousy.  They even hate their own family members for religious and political matters and the results are... sexual immorality,  They manipulate the Word of God to fit their own lifestyle. They have impure thoughts, hateful thoughts,  eagerness for lustful pleasure,  idolatry,  participation in demonic activities,  hostility and lots of it,  quarreling,  jealousy,  outbursts of anger,  selfish ambition,  divisions,  the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in their own little group,  envy,  drunkenness,  wild parties,  and other kinds of sin.  Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God but will partake of the LAKE of FIRE that burns forever and ever.
