Isn’t it about as nonsensical as asking, “Does justice exist without a Judge?” or “Do design and order exist without a Designer?” or “Do laws of nature exist without a Lawgiver?” or “Does love exist without a Lover?” or “Do human rights exist?” or eve does “Logic exist?” or finally, “Does intelligence itself exist?” In the final analysis, is there something in the cosmos besides matter and energy? In common terms, when eating at a restaurant, we don't ask if a chef exists. Humanly speaking, if you see a design, do you wonder if a Designer exists?
God entails all of these and they couldn't exist apart from a God of love, design, laws, justice, and even the Logos (God is the Word—expressed thought— or the Logos in John 1:1). Remember, cosmos without Logos is chaos There is a reason why the framer of the Declaration of Independence said that “these truths are self-evident.”
A person is free to disbelieve in God but that doesn't make Him not exist or go away. But he must realize that he has faith too, even if in science. God doesn't expect us to kiss our brains goodbye or commit intellectual suicide but we can only come to God on His terms and in sincere faith, not head first. “the world by wisdom knew not God.” Honest doubt is fair and God invites scrutiny and even says, “Taste and see that the LORD is good.” It turns out that the proof of the pudding in the eating!
I know that scientifically, you cannot prove God exists, but you cannot scientifically disprove Him either. It would be outside the parameters of science and a metaphysical, not a physical matter and endeavor. Would science even exist apart from the Lawgiver of the universe? The God of nature and nature’s God? As a result: A Christian, Sir Francis Bacon, formulated the scientific method believing in these propositions.
