    About this ebook

    Some thinker has said, "A smattering of knowledge turns people away from God. Grater knowledge brings them back to Him". The author concludes in this book by examining various theories that the choice humanity have is not between the universe with God and the universe without God. The real option is between the universe with God and no universe at all. Therefore humanity is compelled to opt for the proposition the universe with God. Hence it is logical to say I exist, therefore, God exist.

      Who made GOD?

      Jun 16, 2023

      I have had many secularists mock me as a Christian for believing in an eternal God. They’ve grinned and asked me the question, “So, who made God?” They then claim that it doesn’t make sense to believe in an eternal God. The Bible makes it clear tha

      IN SEARCH OF GOD

      A Most Evident Mystery

      What one is most convinced of is his or her own existence. Despite this, in purely scientific terms, everyone is a mystery. For man is not what he physically appears to be, but consists of what he calls I, and the I is not observable.

      That is why when the philosopher Rene Descartes (1596-1650) wanted to give proof of his own existence, he did not say: I consist of a body that is observable, therefore I exist. Instead he had to say: I think, therefore I exist.

      Man undoubtedly has an observable existence. We all know that man exists. But, in fact, this man’s existence is at the level of I and the cognisance of I is at the level of perception or comprehension, and not at the level of observation.

      Exactly the same is true of God. It is, as if, God is a Greater I. God, at the level of His creation, is directly observable. But God at the level of His Being is not directly observable by man. We shall have to believe in God on the basis of the same logical principle which Descartes employed to know himself, and on which all men and women believe in their own existence.

      I can comprehend God, therefore God exists. The truth is that God’s being comprehensible is an undeniable proof of His existence. If we deny God, we shall have to deny our own selves. Since we cannot countenance our own denial, we cannot countenance God’s denial either. Everyone who believes in his own existence is logically compelled to say, I exist, therefore, God exists.

      Does God Exist?

      Does God exist? My answer to this question is in the affirmative. Based on my study and my experience, I can say with
