3 strong, simple evidences for God

PhilosophicalObjective
Written By Edward Wolfe

“The heavens declare the glory of God,” wrote the psalmist (Psalm 19:1). God’s invisible qualities have been clearly seen, “being understood from what has been made” (Romans 1:20), according to the New Testament. The heavens and what has been made tell us quite a bit about God, namely that he exists and what he is like. Here are three simple yet strong evidences for God.

  1. The universe had a beginning. It is not eternal. It was caused by something or someone outside itself.

  2. Life had a beginning. The causes of the first life do not seem to be naturalistic. Naturalistic explanations for the origin of life do not explain the presence of precise, efficient coding in DNA. It was caused by something or someone outside of the naturalistic order of things.

  3. The universe and life are exquisitely, meticulously designed, reflecting the character of the designer as someone super-powerful, super-intelligent, and super-caring.

The biblical God matches the profile we see in nature. What has been made—nature—points strongly to the biblical God.

My book, Is Jesus Real?, expounds on these three arguments.

Edward Wolfe has been a fan of Christian apologetics since his teenage years, when he began seriously to question the truth of the Bible and the reality of Jesus. About twenty years ago, he started noticing that Christian evidences roughly fell into five categories, the five featured on this website.
Although much of his professional life has been in Christian circles (12 years on the faculties of Pacific Christian College, now a part of Hope International University, and Manhattan Christian College and also 12 years at First Christian Church of Tempe), much of his professional life has been in public institutions (4 years at the University of Colorado and 19 years at Tempe Preparatory Academy).
His formal academic preparation has been in the field of music. His bachelor degree was in Church Music with a minor in Bible where he studied with Roger Koerner, Sue Magnusson, Russel Squire, and John Rowe; his master’s was in Choral Conducting where he studied with Howard Swan, Gordon Paine, and Roger Ardrey; and his doctorate was in Piano Performance, Pedagogy, and Literature, where he also studied group dynamics, humanistic psychology, and Gestalt theory with Guy Duckworth.
He and his wife Louise have four grown children and six grandchildren.
