The topic of God has confounded the world since the beginning of mankind. It can be a very difficult, complex, and often confusing subject. Numerous theories about God, religions, and beliefs have emerged, but while the motives of those creating and promoting these different understandings may be well intentioned, logic and the beliefs themselves make it impossible for all of them to be correct. In fact, they are mutually exclusive - there cannot be no God and a God; there cannot be one and only one God as some religions believe and, at the same time, be many Gods; and so on.
In an effort to put all of these issues in proper perspective, this slide show presentation provides a broad variety of facts, logic, perspectives, and references that can help you form your own belief about this most important question. We encourage you to review this presentation and the referred web site, Blogs, cited references, and a subsequent presentation about who God is if you conclude there is a God, with an open heart and an open mind!
2. WE HAVE AN AMAZING
HUMAN BODY!
IS THERE A GOD? HOW CAN I KNOW? www.godreallyexists.com
• Trillions of cells, with literally billions of nerve cells & miles of blood vessels.
• Incredible human body functions such as thought, senses (touch, smell, taste,
sight, etc.), sexuality, childbirth, and many other items.
• Each body has eyes, hands, brains, legs, lungs, heart, liver, kidney, reproductive
organs, a head, etc., each with incredibly sophisticated capabilities.
• Each cell in the human body contains trillions of ultra-sophisticated molecular
machines, each with amazing critical functions and capabilities.
• Childbirth perfectly merges the DNA of two people into a new unique person.
• There is enough DNA information capacity in a single human cell to store the
entire Encyclopedia Britannica three or four times over.
• And much, much more.
JUST MEDITATE ON ALL THE MIND-BLOWING
CAPABILITIES OF THE HUMAN BODY
3. THERE IS AN ASTOUNDING
ANIMAL KINGDOM
IS THERE A GOD? HOW CAN I KNOW? www.godreallyexists.com
• There are over 8.7 million different animal species, and over 10 billion billion
individual animals on earth.
• Each species has incredibly sophisticated and different designs and complexity.
• Examples include tiny ants, birds, insects, dogs, cats, tigers, giraffes, massive
elephants, hippopotamuses, pigs, rabbits, monkeys, whales, fish, dolphins, and
so many more.
• Countless species have incredible mind-blowing capabilities (see website).
• There are over 1.2 million different plants, protozoa, and chromists on earth.
• Scientists also estimate that 86% of existing species on Earth and 91% of species
in the ocean still await discovery and description.

WITH ALL THE TREES, MOUNTAINS, THE BEACH, THE OCEAN,
AND/OR THE ANIMALS IN A ZOO OR IN THE WILD!
4. WE LIVE IN AN INCREDIBLY
EXPANSIVE UNIVERSE
IS THERE A GOD? HOW CAN I KNOW? www.godreallyexists.com
• There are over 10 million billion stars in the universe.
• There is an incredibly large and complex sun (you can put over one million
earths plus 4.3 million moons in the sun!)
• Venus is 26 million miles away, Mercury is 50 million miles away, Jupiter is
367 million miles away, Saturn is 790 million miles away, Pluto is 2.7 billion
miles away.
• There are billions of miles between all the stars.
• There are numerous improbable and fine-tuned factors that must be
precisely in place and balanced for the survival of life on earth. Without
any one of these factors, life would not be possible.
• And much, much more.

OR THROUGH A TELESCOPE!
5. IS THERE A GOD? HOW CAN I KNOW? www.godreallyexists.com
• All of these amazing facts scream out the following key question: Where did all
these creatures and mind-blowing capabilities come from?
• Could this possibly be the result of a random process of evolution, or do they
point to a creator who designed everything to function as it does?
• Where did the universe come from and if you believe in the Big Bang Theory,
which does make logical sense, how did that happen and where did that come
from?
• Can we really believe macro evolution, creating one species randomly from an
entirely different species, is logical or possible? Can we really believe that
humans - with all their incredible capabilities as described above – evolved
randomly from another species? Doesn’t it make more sense that all of the
incredible above facts are the result of a designer and creator God?
WHERE DID EVERYTHING
COME FROM?
ALSO AGAIN, IN ANY CASE,
WHERE DID THE VERY FIRST LIFE FORMS COME FROM?
6. IS THERE A GOD? HOW CAN I KNOW? www.godreallyexists.com
• The Theory of Evolution, originally presented by Charles Darwin, essentially
states that all forms of life are constructed from the same basic elements, and
that humans are the result of a long series of evolutionary changes. Thus,
humans were not created by God, they simply evolved from other life forms.
• While there is no question individual life forms evolve by natural processes over
time and one should not question the related science, there is no clear scientific
evidence that one life form (i.e. - a dog, cat, bird, etc.) can, in fact, evolve into
another materially different life form (i.e. - a monkey, donkey, tiger, etc.). It’s hard
to buy the argument that it’s just a matter of time for this type of species-to-
species macroevolution to occur.
• Also, can we really believe that all of the above described dramatically different
creatures in the world – worms, bunnies, dogs, cats, giraffes, elephants, tigers,
lions, hippopotamuses, cows, snakes, birds, monkeys, whales, seals, etc. and
ultimately humans – evolved completely randomly?
EVOLUTION VS
CREATION DEBATE
7. IS THERE A GOD? HOW CAN I KNOW? www.godreallyexists.com
• The probabilities of the scope and scales of the universe and the
complexities of its contents (humans in particular), as noted in all the
above, make random coincidental creation difficult or impossible to
accept. A more correct evaluation of this evidence supports the fact that
everything in nature proves God exists as Creator and Designer.
• Humans have an inborn sense of right and wrong and love, as well as a
sense that there is something more. Where did that come from?
• There are many documented cases of very meaningful God Experiences
in individual lives (See Blog and website references on this topic),
including dramatic life transformations.
• The incredible consistency, reliability, and the depth of the Bible support
the case for God and explain who God is and what it all means (again see
blogs and website references on this topic).
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
8. IS THERE A GOD? HOW CAN I KNOW? www.godreallyexists.com
• Based on all these facts and considerations, do you
now believe – or are you open to the possibility – that
God really exists?
• If this is all true, this is the most critical and important
consideration in your life. We encourage you to review
the website www.godreallyexists.com, along with all
the included blogs and cited references. Also, think
about the Next Steps section of the website.
• If you are not sure you believe, contemplate the
question “What If I am wrong”?
