Answer 2

The Apostle Paul developed a powerful argument that has led many realists to believe in God. He said: “[God’s] invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship.” (Romans 1:20) Paul could see the beauties of creation, the wondrous variety of life and the awesome starry heavens, and in them discern some of the qualities of the one who created them. Modern science helps us to see how intricately designed natural things are, what power and wisdom were necessary to bring them into existence. Hence, in some ways the natural world today gives an even more powerful witness to the existence of God.

Answer 3

In its strictest sense, human reason will never acknowledge the existence of God. It will explain away all actions and things according to that which can be scientifically measured. It is only when a person's reasoning allows him to grasp the idea that the greater realities of life (such as love) surpass human measurement that he will consider the existence of God. It is then that he can begin to make the distinction between divine knowledge and natural knowledge.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. James 3:17

A continued quest to understand the greater realities of life will reveal to the searcher that natural knowledge can be analyzed whereas spiritual knowledge is ascertained. His discovery will be that it is only by spiritual reasoning that one can appreciate the perfection of God, the perfection of Jesus Christ, and the perfection of God’s words as originally inspired in the Holy Bible. His journey will culminate in a detailed study of the perfection of God's Word.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. II Timothy 2:15

Answer 4

Several philosophical propositions have been put forward, to prove the existence of God by reason alone. The most important of these are the ontological argument, the cosmological argument and the teleological argument. All fail because they have been shown to be unsound arguments.

Answer 5

I really don't think it can. A line can't rise above the plan that defines it. We can EXPERIENCE God for ourselves, though, and that is the rational thing to do.

Answer 6

Personally I discovered the existence with Him performing miracles in my life and so majority its an experience but if not, then faith.
