Is God Real?

Can something come from nothing?

Have you ever found a system so precise like the internal workings of a watch or a spaceship and thought it made itself?

If we saw a short signal of prime numbers coming from deep space, scientists would rush to claim intelligent life was behind it. This happened in Carl Sagan’s fictional novel Contact. And yet, your own body contains far more complexity: four billion letters of DNA in each cell, arranged in flawless order. A single error could collapse the system.

So how do some claim that this came from randomness?

If a message proves a mind, what does an encoded instruction manual in your DNA prove?

It is irrational to deny design where design is most evident. It is irrational to believe that nothing exploded, for no reason, and created everything.

The Qur’an addresses this directly:

Or were they created from nothing? Or are they the creators?

[Surat At-Tur: 35]

You either:

  1. Came from nothing (impossible)
  2. Created yourself (absurd)
  3. Were created by something

And that “something” must not itself be created—because then we’re back to the same problem.

Some may ask: “Couldn’t there be multiple creators?” But then what if they disagree?

If there were in them gods other than Allah, they would have gone to ruin. So glory be to Allah, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe. 

[Surat al-Anbiyā: 22]

Multiplicity leads to contradiction. Nature

speaks of one consistent law, one order, one Designer.

Even atheists like Richard Dawkins concede that the universe “appears to have been designed.” They just insist it was only the appearance. But why? Why deny what your reason confirms?

  • Can chaos produce website?
  • If not, then your reason leads you to a Creator.

If there’s a Creator, why would He care about us?

Wouldn’t He just create us and walk away?
