How I know God Exists

What a dangerous post.

Let's break it down into the single principles we know and see what we can find.

As of yet, we believe that the universe was created with a single action of energy. There are two beliefs (1) That the energy created itself, and therefore was able to form the universe itself within it's own perimeters. Let's call this "the finite theory." (2) That a force created the spark that lit the universe and that this force is beyond the spark that created the universe.

To my own mind (2) the "infinite" universe theory sounds much more solid. For how is nothing able to create something from itself? This is a magic trick in itself. Furthermore, how does it find its principles and overtime allow for the attraction of matter to create matter, planets, stars, and things I never dared dream? How could a random piece of nothing have the intelligence to create the infinite universe? Therefore, something that is infinite, beyond time and space, meaning it must be eternal since it goes BEYOND these perimeters must have created it.

Besides, "nothing" even has a meaning. For if there were no spaces in this post, all the words would be splurged together and would look just like a black dot.

With option two, there is a supreme force that loves creation, for beyond a person there is a planet, and beyond the planet is a solar system, a galaxy, a cluster of galaxies, the entire universe, and what I believe to be God himself who is also in the tiniest of all. Now in expanding on this, we can tell by looking into literature the footprints of a person's mind on what they believe, so if we look at this supreme being's beliefs we can look to his creation and see what's there.

Obviously, he loves creation, loves making it and loves helping it grow. He has expanded the entire universe beyond the scope of any intelligent human's imagination. As well, it seems to have purpose, such as the balance of our solar system. Or even grass itself. I mean we can all ask why is the grass green and say "chloroplasts." But if we are really curious, it's because this God knows that GREEN is pleasing to our eyes and that any other color could have been the grass but this was designated.

So lets look to ourselves. We have five senses that we know about: sight, smell, touch, taste, hearing. God most likely has more senses than we do, in fact I imagine he has an infinite number of senses that go way beyond us. We have five, so why did he choose these five senses? Because he saw that with these five senses we would enjoy creation itself. With "eyes" I am able to see the physical realm, the body that my soul resides, colors, shapes, patterns, smiles, clouds, everything physical. But that isn't to say that there are things unseen, not just because they are tiny, but because we have limited vision that only sees a fraction of visible light. Therefore, there could be much more that we are not seeing, as well as, there could be multiple dimensions we are not seeing that go well beyond the few we understand and know.

Obviously, this "God" wanted us to know and experience creation, and by seeing and witnessing all that he has made, it is evident that someone put it there, otherwise a random spark of energy came to life on its own and created the universe and all these things in their proper order.

We have the ability to decipher sound, make music, and know our own mother's voice. God wanted us to hear what could be heard; that he made a distinct voice for a bird and a distinct voice for a dog and not just random noises to random animals.

But not only can we see and hear these things, but we are able to reach out and touch them. Different textures. Different pains.

We can taste the food that literally grows from the planet, and we can smell the food as well as our own waste. God wants us to experience these things. He created them so that in an everyday experience we would be utilizing his creation and living in it.

So why would a God create people? Maybe there were multiple Gods, scientists, computer hackers: but if so, then why would they need a creation? Wouldn't they be satisfied with their own world? If there are multiple Gods then that means they were also created by something because what we are trying to get at, is the point of origin. Which is God. If there are multiple Gods, then we are much lesser than we realize because we would then be a copy of a copy, and as we all know, with each copy the ink is a little more imperfect.

BUT if there were multiple Gods who created us, what purpose would we have to serve THEM? Because their purpose would be to search out and find truth as well and to find the point of origin, which is GOD. So we would be a tool of their pleasure. They would be serving God but requesting that WE bow down to them full knowing that they are not actually God, because there's a God beyond them that created them. Therefore they would ask for our love because they are lonely even though they have a connection with God? Why would they be lonely, why would they create US if God should be there? If creation tries to create creation that which it creates will be imperfect, at least from our point of view because we are finite, mortal beings...

Therefore, if God created Gods to rule over us, these Gods would be fluff that is in between us and the ultimate connection, the ruler, the creator, the mastermind behind the universe. And these Gods who would know and understand creation so fully, obviously since they were able to create stars and all kinds of things, would absolutely have to praise the real GOD because this universe is created on the principle of... love.

Love is a tough matter. But it is the real deal. A choice. Set for eternity. A commitment, set in stone before we were even created or put into a body, or maybe you were always connected to a body.

So therefore, a GOD created the universe. And because of love, he gave his children the power of free-will so that they were FREE to choose what they wanted to do and not just a thought in his mind. That WE would be REAL. Without free-will, we are not real at all, but merely robots. Merely a program. So in essence, it was a necessity that we would be able to have a will of our own in order to love God, love his creation, love his people, love to love.

Now, why is it that a world that should rightly be consumed in love would be falling short? It's desperation. The world leaders would never destroy each other unless they were DESPERATE for resources, claiming them, and having the little remains of the planet to maximize upon. And you see, this is a great danger because there are a limited amount of resources on the planet and if we are unable to share these resources then humanity itself will die or be plagued to a dystopian regime where our free-will is taken from us and people decide whether or not you can have children because you will have to be fit to their standards as a "perfect breed" in order to have the precious little of this planet, they will tell you what to buy, what to think, how to act, and so forth because the resources will be maxed out and in order to have peace we would have to follow what the God we created, the all-knowing, all-powerful governments we want to protect us, told us to do. Isn't it funny how we're drawn to this all-powerful image? In fact, since the dawning of civilization the idea of a supreme ruler has been inside us, but unfortunately corrupt rulers come, we believe they know everything that they are fit, but we know they are only human. We together are only human.

Desperation leads to fear. A fear that we are not good enough. We begin to desire things. Our pride conquers us, and then sin is allowed. SIN is merely rebellion against God. Against him being the creator. Sin eventually leads to believing that God will not rescue you, so you take matters into your own hands. Steal. Murder. Adultery. Maybe a mistake. An error. But, honestly, rebellion.

But this is the funny thing about religion. This is why I believe in Christianity. From the beginning of the Bible to the end the whole text brings to light that there will be a messiah and that he will be the rescue plan. Across the board in religion, across time, people have believed their self to be this savior. A man with a common name, Jesus, which comes from the name , Joshua meaning GOD RESCUES, had supreme intelligence. He awed the pharisees of his time. Left them speechless. He even, when in Rome, awed the Romans who cared only for entertainment, sports killings. Even at Christ's death, one of the centurions proclaimed he was Christ. How did he move their hearts? Because this savior, this man named GOD RESCUES, had a direct connection to God. He was specifically designed by God with a uniquely made body with a fascinating combination of spirit and flesh. Jesus not only awed the people of his religion, the Jews, but those outside it. A world caught up in various religions, rituals, and the sort were suddenly awed by the Jews, the ODD Jews who did such crazy things as wander the desert for years before finally starting their own settlement. Anyone who knows a thing about settlements knows waiting to make one isn't exactly the best game plan.

The world was awed by the Jews? The Jews, the people who attempted to take on Babylon? The Jews, the slaves of Egypt? What could possibly be right? It was Jesus, the son of God, the answer we needed to rescue us from sin that we had entered because of Satan, the one who desperately wanted to be God himself, who sickly wanted our praise. But no! The truth is the GOD of Israel, the God who created the universe. The God who created our Savior. THIS GOD DESERVES YOUR PRAISE!

And how do we know Christ succeeded? Because he was resurrected. Something that was so astonishing that his disciples created a church on a mission to tell the world of what was to come, that we are the children of God, and that God loves us and that his only son to RESCUE us through his blood. Through his mind. Through his heart. Because God loves you. He loves his creation and wants us dearly.

Why would the disciples go around saying Jesus had risen if he hadn't? Wouldn't they have been made fools? Why would all of them allow their selves to die for something like that if it were a lie? Why would others join them and preach about God? Why would Saul stop persecuting Christians? Because it happened! Because God intervened. Because these people had the unique experience of God intervening in their lives in such a way that they were changed.

But even still, here's how I really know, we often talk about Christ's death. We talk about his life, we talk about the resurrection, but where is he now? He's praying for you. He's praying for you and me and everybody you know constantly. He's in heaven preparing himself to bring us back to God. He's on his knees praying. He's alive. He's absolutely alive. And God's creation, the angels, are cheering him on as he prepares. Because they believe. He believes in us. He is not just a memory.

So next time you're praying, pray for him. Try seeking this out. Try with all your heart because it matters. We are given a limited number of years, so I say we should use our minds and hearts to find the true religion, and not counterfeits that want to be your savior but fall short.
