The document discusses evidence for the existence of God and the creation of the universe. It provides several arguments including cause and effect, design in creation requiring a designer, fine-tuning of physical constants, and complexity of life being improbable by chance alone. Evidence from various scientific fields such as physics, astronomy, biochemistry, and information theory is presented. The document argues that science points to an intelligent creator and that the existence of God can be known from observing his creation.

3. Acts 17:17

reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and
fear;

5. Today:
Does God Exist and Was The Universe
Created?

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The
everlasting (eternal) God, the LORD, The Creator of
the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His
understanding is unsearchable.

7. Infinite in TIME
Infinite in POWER (or strength, energy)
Infinite in UNDERSTANDING

all His work which He had done.

10. "God is big enough to handle our questions"
"God is not intimidated by the depth of our
scrutiny".

11. Do You Really Know It All?
"God does not exist” (?)

12. Truth Exists
Truth is knowable

13. The Case for the Existence of God
#1, Cause and Effect
whatever has come into existence was caused
to come into existence by something else.
An effect without a cause is an impossibility.

14. The Case for the Existence of God
#2, Creation Attests to a Creator; Design calls
for a Designer
Romans 1:20
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible
attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the
things that are made, even His eternal power and
Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

15. The Case for the Existence of God
#2, Creation Attests to a Creator; Design calls
for a Designer
Psalm 19:1-3
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the
firmament shows His handiwork.
2 Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night
reveals knowledge.

16. The Case for the Existence of God
#2, Creation Attests to a Creator; Design calls
for a Designer
Psalm 19:1-3
3 There is no speech nor language Where their voice is
not heard.

17. The Case for the Existence of God
#3, Morality and Rationality
How can lifeless matter produce consciousness,
morality and rationality?

18. The Case for the Existence of God
#4, Experiencing Supernatural Phenomena
Answers to prayer
Supernatural healings and miracles
Manifestation and deliverance from demons

19. The Case for Creation
Six validations:
#1, Evidence from Cosmology
#2, Evidence from Physics
#3, Evidence from Astronomy
#4, Evidence of Biochemistry
#5, Evidence from Biological Information
#6, Evidence from Consciousness

20. The Case for Creation
"Science done right, points us to God"

21. The Case for Creation
#1, Evidence from Cosmology
Infinity cannot happen in the real world.

22. The Case for Creation
#1, Evidence from Cosmology
Consequently, the universe cannot have an
infinite number of past events, meaning that it
must have had a beginning.

23. The Case for Creation
#1, Evidence from Cosmology
the universe is constantly expanding

24. The Case for Creation
#1, Evidence from Cosmology
going backward in time would
lead to a single point in time
before which nothing existed

25. The Case for Creation
#1, Evidence from Cosmology
The “Big Bang” phenomenon points to a
methodical, designed event not an accidental,
chaotic explosion.

26. The Case for Creation
#1, Evidence from Cosmology
Can chance produce intelligence?
Could accident result in purpose?
Can non-life create life?
Can something come from nothing?
Can chaos produce order?

27. The Case for Creation
#2, Evidence from Physics
The Anthropic Principle
all the arbitrary constants in physics represent
precise values needed in order for the universe
to produce and sustain life

28. The Case for Creation
#2, Evidence from Physics
The force of Gravity

29. The Case for Creation
#2, Evidence from Physics
The Cosmological Constant

30. The Case for Creation
#2, Evidence from Physics
Gravity and the cosmological constant represent
only two of more than 30 parameters that must
be precisely calibrated in order for life to exist in
the universe.

31. The Case for Creation
#2, Evidence from Physics
The fine-tuning of the universe points
powerfully toward an Intelligent Designer

32. The Case for Creation
#3, Evidence from Astronomy
The earth is positioned is a precise safe zone in
our galaxy that makes it conducive for life. Any
minor change in position, and we cannot live.

33. The Case for Creation
#4, Evidence of Biochemistry
The Cell

34. The Case for Creation
#4, Evidence of Biochemistry
Irreducibly complex systems are strong
evidence of a purposeful, intentional design by
an intelligent agent.

35. The Case for Creation
#5, Evidence from Biological Information
Human body has about one hundred trillion
cells
20,500 kinds of proteins

36. The Case for Creation
#5, Evidence from Biological Information
The information to produce these proteins are
contained in six-feet of DNA coiled inside our
cells

37. The Case for Creation
#5, Evidence from Biological Information
for a single protein to be formed the right bonds
between the amino acids must be formed and
must be in a specified sequence

38. The Case for Creation
#5, Evidence from Biological Information
the probability for a single protein to be
produced by chance is 1 in 10^25
even a simple cell needs about 300-500 protein
molecules

39. The Case for Creation
#5, Evidence from Biological Information
The probability of a protein molecule forming
by chance is about the same as throwing
scrabble letters down and generating a book.
How improbable it is for even
one protein molecule to evolve!

40. The Case for Creation
#6, Evidence from Consciousness
Each of us have the same organ - the brain, but
each of us have our own mind - our own
thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about things, our
own temperament, etc.

41. The Case for Creation
#6, Evidence from Consciousness
How can mere matter give birth to
consciousness?

42. Does God Exist
and
Was The Universe Created?

43. Psalm 14:1
The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God."

44. Romans 1:18-22
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven
against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 because what may be known of God is manifest in
them, for God has shown it to them.
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible
attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the
things that are made, even His eternal power and
Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

45. Romans 1:18-22
21 because, although they knew God, they did not
glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became
futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were
darkened.
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,

46. A “Personal” and “Relational” God
