I. Cause Isa. 43:7, 21; Eccl. 12:13; Micah 6:8; Acts 17: 26-28; 1 John
3:23; Rev. 4:11; (Eccl. 9:9), A reason for creation.
II. Design Gen. 1:26; "After our image"
III. Being Isa. 45:22, 46:9; Hos. 11:9; Ex. 3:14; Job 38 (entire chapter);
Gen. 1:26, 2:7; John 1:3.
IV. Intellectual Nature Rom. 2:15
The ability to think and reason, as gods.
V. Agreement Job 38-41 (all four chapters)
The "harmonic balance" of nature.
Everything relies on something.
VI. Scripture Lk. 5:1; Acts 4:31, 8:14, 13:7, and 16:4.
The Word is God (Jn. 1:1; Psa. 68:11: 2 Pet. 3:5)
Ex. 3:14, "I AM" the ever existing One.
VII. Inspiration Acts 5:38, 39; 2 Pet. 1:21; 2 Tim. 3:16
VIII. Man Didn't Always Exist, Where did he come from? Isa. 43:7 Gen.
1:26, 2:7; Jn. 1:3
Mans need for food, water, etc. is because he was made from dust; Food and
water sustain the body as well as the earth.
VIX. The Rejection of the Gospel is proof that God is real. Spiritual
forces cause one to reject it vehemently. If there were nothing to it, Satan
would not wage such a vicious war against it.
Psa. 14:1; Rom. 1:28; Rom. 2:15; Rom. 1: 18-21: Rom. 1:32
X. The New Birth is proof in itself that God is alive and well. Jn. 3:16;
Rom. 10: 9,10;
Rom. 10:13; Rom. 8:1; 1 John 1:7-9; Rev. 3:20
A Changed life is the witness of the power of God. 2 Cor.
5:17.
Hell is proof of God's existence, He made it. The heavens
also.
The headings in bold type represent the argument from scientific viewpoint,
at least at first (the first 5, as well as # 7 and 8). Many who do not believe
the Bible will still listen to sound reason. Point number 9 is a strong argument
for the intellectual. They know that the harder we fight against something
the more likely we believe it, otherwise why bother?
