Source text - English Keyword phrase: Does God exist?
Keyword description: Does God exist? Is there evidence for the existence of God? How can I prove that God exists?
Question: "Does God exist? Is there evidence for the existence of God?"
Answer: Does God exist? It is interesting that so much attention is given to this debate. The latest surveys tell us that over 90% of people in the world today believe in the existence of God or some higher power. Yet somehow the responsibility is placed on those who believe God does exist to somehow prove that He really does exist. It would be more logical if it were the other way around.
However, the existence of God cannot be proven or disproved. The Bible even says that we must accept by faith the fact that God exists, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6). If God so desired, He could simply appear and prove to the whole world that He exists. But if He did that, there would be no need for faith. "Then Jesus told him, 'Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed'” (John 20:29).
That does not mean, however, that there is no evidence of God’s existence. The Bible states, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world” (Psalm 19:1-4). Looking at the stars, understanding the vastness of the universe, observing the wonders of nature, seeing the beauty of a sunset—all of these things point to a Creator God. If these were not enough, there is also evidence of God in our own hearts. Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us, “…He has also set eternity in the hearts of men…” There is something deep within us that recognizes there is something beyond this life and someone beyond this world. We can deny this knowledge intellectually, but God’s presence in us and through us is still there. Despite all of this, the Bible warns us that some will still deny God’s existence, “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God’” (Psalm 14:1). Since over 98% of people throughout history, in all cultures, in all civilizations, on all continents believe in the existence of some kind of God, there must be something (or someone) causing this belief.
In addition to the biblical arguments for God’s existence, there are logical arguments. First, there is the ontological argument. The most popular form of the ontological argument uses the concept of God to prove God’s existence. It begins with the definition of God as “that than which no greater can be conceived.” It is then argued that to exist is greater than to not exist, and therefore the greatest conceivable being must exist. If God did not exist then God would not be the greatest conceivable being, but that would contradict God's very definition. A second is the teleological argument. The teleological argument is that since the universe displays such an amazing design, there must have been a divine Designer. For example, if earth were even a few hundred miles closer or farther away from the sun, it would not be capable of supporting much of the life it currently does. If the elements in our atmosphere were even a few percentage points different, every living thing on earth would die. The odds of a single protein molecule forming by chance is 1 in 10243 (that is a 10 followed by 243 0’s). A single cell is comprised of millions of protein molecules.
A third logical argument for God’s existence is called the cosmological argument. Every effect must have a cause. This universe and everything in it is an effect. There must be something that caused everything to come into existence. Ultimately, there must be something “un-caused” in order to cause everything else to come into existence. That “un-caused” something is God. A fourth argument is known as the moral argument. Every culture throughout history has had some form of law. Everyone has a sense of right and wrong. Murder, lying, stealing, and immorality are almost universally rejected. Where did this sense of right and wrong come from if not from a holy God?
Despite all of this, the Bible tells us that people will reject the clear and undeniable knowledge of God and instead believe a lie. Romans 1:25 declares, “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.” The Bible also proclaims that people are without excuse for not believing in God, “For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse” (Romans 1:20).
People claim to not believe in God because it is “not scientific” or “because there is no proof.” The true reason is that once people admit that there is a God, they also must realize that they are responsible to God and in need of forgiveness from Him (Romans 3:23; 6:23). If God exists, then we are accountable for our actions to Him. If God does not exist, then we can do whatever we want without having to worry about God judging us. That is why evolution is so strongly clung to by many in our society—to give people an alternative to believing in a Creator God. God exists and ultimately everyone knows that He exists. The very fact that some attempt so aggressively to disprove His existence is in fact an argument for His existence.
Allow one last argument for God’s existence. How do we know God exists? As Christians, we know God exists because we speak to Him every day. We do not audibly hear Him speaking back to us, but we sense His presence, we feel His leading, we know His love, we desire His grace. Things have occurred in our lives that have no other possible explanation other than God. God has so miraculously saved us and changed our lives that we cannot help but to acknowledge and praise His existence. None of these arguments in and of themselves can persuade anyone who refuses to acknowledge what is so plainly clear. In the end, God’s existence must be accepted by faith (Hebrews 11:6). Faith in God is not a blind leap into the dark; it is safe step into a well-lit room where 90% of people are already standing.
Translation - Irish Eochairfhocal, frása: An bhfuil Dia ann?
Eochairfhocal, cur síos: An bhfuil Dia ann? An bhfuil fianaise ann do láithreacht Dé? Conas ar féidir liom fíorú go bhfuil Dia ann?
Ceist: "An bhfuil Dia ann? An bhfuil fianaise ann do láithreacht Dé?"
Freagra: An bhfuil Dia ann? Tá sé suimiúil go dtugtar an méid sin aird ar an ndíospóireacht seo. Deireann na suirbhéanna is déanaí go gcreideann breis is 90% do dhaoine ar fud an domhan i láithreacht Dé nó in ard-chumhacht éigin. Ach ar fáth éigin cuirtear an fhreagracht ar na ndaoine a gcreideann i nDia chun a láithreacht a fhíorú. Bheadh sé i bhfad níos loighciúil dá mbeadh sé an bealach eile timpeall.
Cibé ar bith ní féidir láithreacht dé a fhíorú nó a bhréagnaigh. Deireann an Bíobla fiú go gcaithfimid glacadh leis le creideamh amháin go bhfuil Dia ann, “Agus gan creideamh tá sé neamhfhéideartha Dia a shásamh toisc go gcaithfidh aon duine a thagann chuige creidiúint ina láithreacht agus creidiúint go mbronntar luaíocht ar aon duine a bhfuil á lorg go macánta” (Eabhraigh 11:6). Dá mbeadh Sé ag iarradh, d’fhéadfadh Dia é fhéin a taispeáint agus é a fhíorú don domhan ar fad go bhfuil Sé ann. Ach dá ndéanadh Sé é sin ní bheadh gá ar bith do chreideamh. "Ansin dúirt Íosa leis, 'Toisc go bhfaca tú mé, creideann tú ionam, beannaithe atá na ndaoine nach bhfaca mé agus a gcreid ionam ar aon nós'” (Eoin 20:29).
Cibé ar bith, níl sé sin le rá nach bhfuil fianaise ar bith go bhfuil Dia ann. Deir an Bíobla, “Fógraíonn na bhflaitheas glóir Dé; fógraíonn na spéire obair a lámha. Lá i ndiaidh lae seolann siad óráidí chugainn; oíche i ndiaidh oíche léiríonn siad eolas. Níl óráid ná teanga ar bith nach cloistear a nguth. Téann a nguth amach ar fud an domhan, a bhfocail go deireadh an domhan”(Salm 19:1-4). Ag féachaint ag na réaltaí, ag tuiscint ollmhéid na cruinne, ag féachaint ar iontais an dúlra , ag féachaint ar áilleacht luí na gréine—díríonn na rudaí seo ar fad ar chruthaitheoir, Dia. Mura mbeadh siad seo ar fad sásúil, tá fianaise freisin do Dia inar gcroithe fhéin. Deireann Ecclesiastes 3:11 linn, “…Tá síoraíocht curtha aige freisin i gcroithe na bhfear…” Tá rud éigean domhain ionainn a aithníonn go bhfuil rud éigean i ndiaidh an saol seo agus duine éigean tar éis an domhan seo. Is féidir linn an t-eolais seo a shéanadh go hintleachtúil ach tá láithreacht Dé ionainn agus trínn fós ann. In ainneoin do é seo ar fad tugann an Bíobla fós rabhadh dúinn go mbeidh daoine ann a shéanfaidh go bhfuil Dia ann, “Deireann an t-amadán ina chroí, ‘Níl aon Dia” (Salm 14:1). Mar go gcreideann breis is 98% do dhaoine i rith na staire, i ngach cultúir, i ngach sibhialtacht , ar gach ilchríoch i láithreacht Dé de shaghas éigin, caithfidh go bhfuil rud éigean(nó duine éigean) is cúis leis an gcreideamh seo.
Le chuir le hargóintí an Bhíobla do láithreacht Dé tá argóintí. Ar an gcéad dul síos, tá an argóint ointeolaíochta. Baineann an argóint ointeolaíochta ar a bhfuil an-mheas úsáid as an coincheap do Dhia chun láithreacht Dé a fhíorú. Tosaíonn sé le sainmhíniú ar Dhia mar “ an rud nach féidir le níos fearr ná é a bheith coimpeartha.” Ansin déantar an argóint go bhfuil sé níos fearr a bheith ann ná gan a bheith ann agus mar sin caithfidh go maireann an neach is fearr a féidir a bheith coimpeartha. Mura mhair Dia ní fhéadfadh Dia a bheith mar an neach is fearr a féidir a bheith coimpeartha ach déanfaidh an argóint sin sainmhíniú Dé a bhréagnú Ar an dara dul síos tá an argóint theileolaíoch. Is éard atá ann leis na hargóinte theileolaíoch ná mar go léiríonn an chruinne dearadh chomh iontach sin caithfidh go raibh dearthóir ó Dhia. Mar shampla, dá mbeadh an Domhan fiú cúpla céad míle níos dlúithe nó níos faide ón ghrian ní bheadh sé de chumas aige an chuid is mó don beatha a thacú a thacaíonn sé faoi láthair. Dá mbeadh na heilimintí inar atmaisféar fiú cúpla pointe céatadáin difriúil caillfear chuile rud beo ar Domhan. Tá an corrlach go bhfoirmíodh móilín próitéine amháin trí sheans 1 i 10243 (sin 10 agus 243 0’anna ina dhiaidh). Tá ceall aonair déanta suas leis na milliún móilíní próitéin.
An tríú argóint loighciúil go bhfuil Dia ann ná an argóint cosmeolaíoch. Caithfidh go mbeadh cúis ag gach iarmhairt. Is iarmhairt í an chruinne seo agus gach rud inti. Caithfidh go bhfuil rud éigin is cúis le teacht i láthair gach rud ar Domhan. Ar an iomlán caithfidh go bhfuil rud éigin “neamh-cúisithe” chun go dtagadh gach rud eile i láithreacht. Is é Dia an rud “neamh-cúisithe” sin. An ceathrú argóint ná an argóint morálta. Bhí dlí de saghas éigin ag chuil chultúir ó thús na staire. Tá tuiscint ag chuile dhuine ar an ceart agus an t-éigeart. Ní ghlactar le dúnmharú, bréag, gadaíocht agus mímhoráltacht beagnach go huilíoch. Cad as a dtáinig an tuiscint seo ar an ceart agus an t-éigeart murar tháinig sé ó Dhia beannaithe
Agus é seo ar fad ráite, deireann an Bíobla linn go eiteoidh daoine an t-eolais soiléir agus doshéanta go bhfuil Dia ann agus in ionad sin creidfidh siad bréag. Deir Na Rómhánaigh 1:25, “Mhalartaigh siad fírinne Dé ar an mbréag agus thug ómós agus seirbhís don chréatúir mar rogha ar an gcruthaitheoir, moladh go deo leis. Amen.” Deireann an Bíobla freisin nach bhfuil leithscéal ar bith ag daoine gan creidiúint i nDia, “Mar ó chruthú an domhain i leith tá a thréithe do-fheicthe - a chumhacht shíoraí agus a dhiagacht – le haithint agus le feiceáil sna nithe atá déanta. Más ea, níl aon leithscéal acu” (Na Rómhánaigh 1:20).
Deireann daoine nach gcreideann siad i nDia toisc nach bhfuil sé “eolaíoch” nó mar “nach bhfuil fianaise ar bith.” An fíor fáth ná chomh-luath is a admhaíonn daoine go bhfuil Dia ann caithfidh siad tuiscint freisin go bhfuil siad freagrach do Dhia agus go bhfuil maithiúnas ag teastáil uathu uaidh.(Romans 3:23; 6:23). Más rud é go maireann Dia táimid ar fad freagrach d’ár gníomhartha dó. Mura bhfuil Dia ann is féidir linn pé rud gur main linn a dhéanamh gan a bheith buartha faoi Dia a bheith do ár mbreithiúnas. Sin é an fáth go gcloínn an-chuid d’ár sochaí chomh daingean le teoiric na héabhlóide, ionas go mbeadh rogha eile seachas creideamh i nDia ár gcruthaitheoir. Ar deireadh tá Dia ann agus tá fhios ag gach duine go bhfuil Sé ann. Mar go ndéanann daoine iarracht ionsaitheach chun a láithreacht a bhréagnú is féidir a rá gurb é sin argóint leis fhéin go bhfuil Sé ann.
Lig de argóint amháin eile do láithreacht Dé. Conas go bhfuil fhios againn go bhfuil dia ann? Mar Chríostaithe tá fhios againn go bhfuil Dia ann mar go labhraínn muid leis gach lá. Ní chloiseann muid é ós ard ag labhairt ar ais linn ach mothaíonn muid go bhfuil sé ann, mothaíonn muid é do ár dtreorú, tuigeann muid a ghrá agus tá a ghrásta uainn. Tharla rudaí inar saolta nach bhfuil míniú eile ar bith acu seachas Dia. Slánaigh Dia muid ar fad chomh míorúilteach sin agus tá sé tar éis ár saolta an méid sin nach féidir linn ach glacadh leis go bhfuil sé ann. Ní féidir le hargóint ar bith acu seo cur ina luí ar dhuine nach ghlacfaidh le rud atá chomh cruinn soiléir. Ar dheireadh caithfear glacadh le láithreacht Dé trí creideamh(Eabhraigh 11:6). Ní léim dall isteach sa dorchadais í creideamh i nDia; tá sé sábháilte céim a thógáil isteach i seomra geal áit a bhfuil 90% do dhaoine ina seasamh cheanna féin.
