A. Based on Scientific facts and Natural reasons.

God created everything magnificiently. He also retains the evidence of his greatness and love in the nature itself. As the science improves, we are still discovering the proofs of the God's greatness. As time passes, we will discover more. Among all his creations, God gave special intelligence only to mankind to understand him. He didn't give it to animals. But, are we making use of this gift or ignoring it like a spoiled child ?! .....................Please read the following proofs that God has left for us ( in addition to the bible)............

1. Argument from Motion and Change :

Don't you know that universe is moving at a very high speed. Also most of the things are changing. Some of them very slowly,some of them fast. Even Mount Everest is growing 2.4 in/year. One object is changed by another which is changed by yet another.But this change causing things cannot go on to infinity. Isn't it? We know that the entire universe is moving. The moon is moving around the earth. The earth is moving around the sun. The sun is moving around the center of the galaxy. There are about 500 billion galaxies. All galaxies are moving in the universe, actually moving away. So none of these objects are in the same place ever. The gravitational force, speed, distance and the newer locations are perfectly designed. Can you imagine and admire the complication of this design.

Science (Newton's Law) tell us that nothing moves by itself. Movement in any being requires an outside force to actualize it. Therefore, as per science, there must be a force outside (in addition to) the universe, which is a real being, transcendent to the universe. There has to be a first mover, moved by no other. What or who is it.?? We understand that power to be the God.
'Changing universe' is the sum total of all matter, space and time. These three things depend on each other. Therefore God is outside of matter, space and time. God is not a changing thing, but the unchanging source of change.

2.Governance of the world(the Design Argument)

If you look around, you will see the universe displays great intelligibility and beauty. There is intricate and beautiful order and regularity that amazes us. There are thousands of design aspects without which life would not have existed...!

There are so many wonders in front of our eyes that shows the glory of the creator.

†· If the gravitational force was not there on the earth, we would have been thrown out into space due to the high speed rotation of earth. The speed, gravitational force, distance, orbital path are all perfectly balanced by the cosmic designer.

†· If the axis of earth was not inclined, there won't be any seasons and too much heat or winter would destroy us. If the earth was not rotating, one side of earth would be burning and the other side would be frozen.

†· Anomalous expansion of water (taught in the school).Materials usually has 3 states(solid,liquid and gas, plasma is not considered for simplicity). Every material has maximum density when it is in the solid state. The only exception on earth is water !?. Water has maximum density at 4 degree Celsius (39 degree Fahrenheit) and not at 0 degree Celsius(32 degree Fahrenheit) when it is ice.In winter as the temperature goes down, at 0 degree the water becomes ice and float on the top. The water at 4 degree Celsius being denser remains at the bottom. Also ice is a bad conductor of heat and cold. Water is the only element in the universe that shows this feature. The fishes and plants in the river and lake survive winter only because of this special feature of water. Otherwise the waters of the seas would start freezing and turn into ice from the bottom. Why did the cosmic designer change the laws of physics/chemistry only for water ...............from 0 degree to 4 degree? He seems to be leaving a proof for the scientific mankind.

†· Daytime in moon is 14 days. So is the night. So the temperature is very hot during day and very cold during night for any creature to survive. Imagine what would have happened to life, if our day and night was as long as that of the moon.

†· How does migratory birds or fishes like salmon knows their route to distant continents and back, year after year without losing their way. No one teaches them the route.

These are not by chance. Why is that everything designed so properly ..? The universe is so complex. No one knows its limit. The Grand outer space and even the smallest magnificent atom, where electrons, protons all move at immense speed in a fixed path shows the design argument. Mankind even after years of scientific research could not develop a single living cell.(Even cloning needs another living organism).

This grand design never happened by chance.... Our creator designed it magnificently. As science evolves, we will come to know more and more of the magnificent design.

3. Time and Contingency( possibility & necessity)-Did the Universe have a beginning.
In nature we find that many things exist and many things cease to exist. New things begin to exist or cease to exist because of another existing object whose existence is caused by another and at the end by God who doesn't need anything else for his existence.
'Red shift' is a phenomenon, which a senior science student can demonstrate. This proven theory demonstrates that universe is expanding. Sun and stars are moving away from each other due to the expanding universe. The 'big bang theory' says the universe started with an explosion, the size of the universe was as small as a small bean. Who is responsible for that big bang...?

First law of Thermodynamics says total amount of mass-energy in universe is constant (limited) . Second law of Thermodynamics proves that entropy in the universe is increasing (or the amount of energy available for work is runnning short). This means universe had a beginning, otherwise it would already have exhausted all usable energy — the ‘heat death’ of the universe. For example, all radioactive atoms would have decayed, every part of the universe would be of the same temperature, and no further work would be possible. This means, universe had a beginning for sure. But what caused that beginning.......?

Einstein’s general relativity, which has much experimental support, shows that time is linked to matter and space. So time itself would have begun along with matter and space. Since God, by definition, is the creator of the whole universe, he is the creator of time. Therefore He is not limited by the time dimension He created, so we assume creator of matter,space and time has no beginning in time.

God is ‘the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity’ (Isaiah 57:15).

4. Gradation or Degrees of perfection
We see all natural things vary in goodness, heat, beauty etc. Some are more beautiful, hotter and better than others. Many times the maximum in any genus is the a standard of perfection. This absolutely perfect is the God.

5. Efficient Cause:
In nature we see cause and effects. There is a cause for every effect. There may be many intermediate causes and an ultimate cause. There may be many causes and complicated factors depending on each other, but if there is no efficient cause, there is no efficient effect. This efficient cause for the existence of everything is God.
(The above 5 Arguments are generally accredited to saint St.Thomas Aquinas- His famous book is "Summa Theologica")

B. Other Popular Arguments :

# Proof from Morality and consciousness of God:
No one need to tell us that we should not commit murder, steal the things of others etc.How does mankind know it? This is not only because of the judicial laws .These principles existed before the Laws were made. It cannot be said that social conditions have accustomed us to these observances because these are worldwide and timeless. Always consciousness of right and wrong comes up. Even if you are smart enough to beat the law or even if the act is very very secret, still wrong action bothers the conscience.
The moral Law (which even the atheist follow) isn't dictated by government action, social conditions, sheer necessity or any other earthly cause. It has its basis in a consciousness of God. If there is no God, moral law is senseless.

#Miracles :

Miracles still happen all over the world especially in christian pilgrimage centers, churches and retreat centers. Many people feel that these are fake. While some miracles may have explanations there are still many miracles that simply donot have explanations.

# Jesus and Bible:

Bible says, God's invisible qualities of everlasting power and divinity are clearly seen. They are perceived in the things that God has made.(Rom. 1:20)
It is natural to think that if there is God, he would come and interact with humans.
