God Does Exist

When looking at a building, how do I know that there was a builder? I can't see him, hear him, touch, taste, or smell him. Of course, the building is proof that there was a builder. In fact, I couldn't want better evidence that there was a builder than to have the building in front of me. I don't need faith to know that there was a builder. All I need are eyes that can see and a brain that works.

Likewise, when I look at a painting, how can I tell that there was a painter? Again, the painting is proof positive that there was a painter. I don't need faith to believe in a painter because I can see the evidence.

The same principle applies with the existence of God. When I look at creation, how can I know that there was a creator? I can't see Him, hear Him, touch Him, taste Him, or smell Him. How can I know that He exists? Why, creation shows me that there is a Creator. I couldn't want better proof that a Creator exists than to have the creation in front of me. I don't need faith to believe in a Creator; all I need are eyes that can see and a brain that works:

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Romans 1:20 KJV

If, however, I want the builder to do something for me, then I need to have faith in him. The same applies to God:

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Hebrews 11:6 KJV
