Why believe in God

1
The universe works so smoothly according to
scientific laws.
If you came across a watch in a remote place,
would you say that it had been put there by
chance? The complex mechanism of a watch would
make you think that it had a designer and maker
to put everything together. The universe is far
more complex than a watch so was their a designer
God?
Gravity, magnetism and bonding.
DNA
Paleys watch theory.
Evidence?
Would a Ferrari appear on an Island where no one
lived by accident?
The structure of DNA is very complex, and seems
contain a design or blueprint for organisms.
Design
When things are connected and seem to have
purpose for example, the eye is designed for
seeing.
Would brakes work without someone to press on the
pedal?
Why believe in God?
Evolution
Some scientists see evidence of design in
evolution as complex life forms have what they
need to develop from simple ones.
If the Big Bang did happen, where did the matter
that was compressed to start it come from?
Schools
Those BIG questions
Why are we here?
Youth Clubs
Causation
The impact of Religion
The idea that everything has been caused (started
off) by something else.
The search for meaning an purpose
The laws of Physics state that everything must
have a cause.
Famous people promote their religion like Kaka or
Rev DMC
Where are we going?
No first cause no universe.
Some Christians say God who exists outside of the
laws of physics and so dose net have a beginning
or end, created things like time.
Can only God provide the answer or are there
other explanations?
86 of the world belong to a religion
Whats the purpose of our life on earth?
73 of Britains Population in 2001 said they
were Christian.
2 billion people in the world follow Christianity
