Proof For God Without The Bible

 

1. The ontological, cultural, or anthropological argument or where did we get this idea from and why do people believe universally; God is not an idea made up. Do apes build chapels? Do animals pray? God was self-evident to the founding fathers of America. This ethnological proof, that virtually every tribe, tongue, and people-group has had some belief system concerning God or deity is compelling as circumstantial evidence.; where did they get the idea from, if not God Himself?
2. The cosmological or the that nothing happens by itself and nothing can create or cause itself but needs the First Cause: no First Cause means no beginning because infinite regress is impossible; you cannot cross infinity! A beginning (Big Bang) implies a Beginner. God is eternal without beginning, having no cause but being uncaused!
3. The teleological proof that we cannot escape or deny order, harmony, intelligence, purpose, design, and beauty everywhere and they exist as evidence and this points to the anthropological principle or that there appears to be design or fine-tuning, and this may be called the argument from design; design only implies a Designer; order implies an Orderer, purpose a Purposer, and intelligence an Ultimate Mind. This has been called the anthropic principle in action. The divine order of creation is Thinker, thought, thing. I won’t elaborate on the many wonders of nature that bear witness to this but only bring this up as a point and mention the principle is valid.
4. The moral argument or that it seems that we have morals and there must be justice for that to make sense. Where did we get our conscience from? Guilt proves this to be self-evident. This implies a Judge or Judgment Day. God seems to care a lot about right and wrong and has given man a moral code, compass, or conscience to be culpable. Morals make no sense without a Judge or God to make them universal. God must be the moral center of the universe and standard of Good as Plato called Him, the Supreme Good. Morals then imply a moral Lawgiver; also, how can you believe in justice without a Judge?  Soli Deo Gloria!
