Does God Exist? Forbidden Knowledge

"Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?" God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you. (Exodus 3:13-14 NIV)." Under the unconstitutional interpretation of the US constitution by the Supreme Court ruling on separation of church and state, our public schools have forbidden the teaching of all scientific knowledge of the creation of cells, DNA molecules, black holes and the speed of light and the existence of God centered science versus godless technology. One loses nothing by believing in God if He does not exist. But if God exists and one does not believe in God, one might spend eternity in hell. Which is the better alternative? Intelligent Design Theory should be taught in school.

Why do most civilizations on earth wear clothing, sacrifice humans or animals, and do not work on the Sabbath? Is it because nature itself proclaims the existence of God? Many humans have been sacrificed to Mayan gods. The ancient Sumerians worshipped a mythical mother creator-goddess, as did the Cretans, who were the predecessors of Greece. ⁵ The ancient Hittites worshipped a mythical sun-god who was king of all the other gods. Every town in ancient Egypt had its own deity, usually similar to the sun-god Horus, Isis, Re, Ra or Osiris. ⁶ The Hindus have many gods, believing that the origin of life is water from which the mythical god Prajapati and other gods emerged. ⁷ Polytheistic religions such as those of ancient Egypt, Babylon, Greece and Rome worshiped many gods who were personifications of nature. The Jews believe in a God who created the universe in about 4,000 BC, while the scientific community generally believes that God does not exist, and a Big Bang accidentally created the universe 12 – 20 billion years ago.

Another exception is the Buddhist religion, which has no gods, but rather worships idols of a human, Gautama Siddhartha (c.528 AD) who founded a way of life to achieve Nirvana, the end of suffering involving many reincarnations. However, they worship Buddha as the planner and creator of the universe in his earlier incarnations.

The ancient Greeks had an account of the Great Flood mixed in with Greek creation mythology, as do the Hindus. The ancient Sumerians also had an account of the Babylon ancient history of Noah's ark and the flood. It remains to us then, to decide which account of creation is most accurate, if any.

The common belief of most civilizations is that the world and living creatures did not create themselves, but rather were created by Intelligent Design. The concept of Intelligent Design Theory is now becoming popular among some of the leading scientists of the world and they are urging schools to include a study of Intelligent Design Theory in their classes on evolution.⁸ Proponents of evolution fear that this may lead people back to a belief in God (Romans 1:18 – 20).

George Berkeley, an Irish philosopher and Anglican bishop (1685 – 1753) made an interesting observation In PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE, 1710, about those who do not believe in God "It seems to be a general pretence of the unthinking herd that cannot see God. Could we but see Him, they say, as we see a man, we should believe that He is, and believing, obey His commands. But we need only open our eyes to see the sovereign Lord of all things with a more full and clear view than we do any one of our fellow-creatures . . . Men are surrounded with such clear manifestations of Deity, yet are so little affected by them that they seem, as it were, blinded with excess of light."

Berkeley may have been inspired by the gospels of St. Paul the Apostle who wrote in Romans 1:19 – 20, "Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shown it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse."

I cannot see an electron, but I believe in electrons because I see their results in electric charge, magnetism, electric lights, radio and television, telephones, microwave ovens, computers, lightning, heat and light. Everywhere I look, I see millions of results of an infinitely intelligent Creator, all acting together in harmony with each other. It is not reasonable to believe that something as complex as a living bacterium could be accidentally put together by random combinations of lifeless chemicals.

The Bible tells us, "In the beginning, God moved upon the surface of the waters." ⁹ "And God said let there be light," the Bible continues, "and there was light.¹⁰ Light is the result of vibrations of atoms. Magnetism, sound, radio waves, heat and x-rays are also the result of the vibrations of atoms. So if the Bible Scripture is true, before God spoke and created the atoms, there were none of these things, only total darkness.¹¹ Does that makes sense? But total darkness only existed in the material Universe before creation. Jews, Christians and Moslems believe that God is spiritual Light, and His Light fills the entire spiritual Universe, so there is no darkness anywhere in the spiritual world. The Bible tells us that when God makes a new heaven and a new earth, there will be no more darkness. ¹² In the beginning, there was no such thing as a day, for a day is a measure of how long the light of the sun shines on the earth, followed by a period of darkness.¹³

Does God exist? Forbidden knowledge of science is a resounding YES. Is it better to lose nothing by believing in God if He does not exist, or is it better to not believe in God if He does exist? In the beginning of the material world, God spoke, and it was so.¹⁴
