Is there a God?


The debate of the existence of God has become a front burner issue over time; due to the fact that the world is changing. People have come to acknowledge that the only constant thing is change; it is inevitable. The question of whether there is a super natural being or an intelligent design is even more prominent now, in this ever chaos world of: war, terrorism, economic meltdown and racism. If we have to add the frequent occurrence of natural disaster such as: tsunami, earthquake, drought, hurricane, tornado etc. I hope you can understand why people will ask, does God exist! If there is a God, who we have been told is all powerful and merciful and is in full control of this earth, why do bad things happen especially to the innocent.
There are two questions in our heart that we still seek answers to, that is how did man come into existence and what happens to man when he dies. These questions seem to have two answers based on religion and science. There is the story of the big bang follow by evolution from science and the story of the Garden of Eden from religion. The story of man existence is a topic on its own, but the question now is God out there or up there.
Some wonder if God exist where was he an hour, a day, a month or even a year before he created the world. I can hear a voice asking, is the almighty a man. Where did we get the notion of God from? Where is the resident of God? Is he white, black or mixed? What language does God speak? Those who question the existence of God want answers to these questions and much more. However, those who believe say he has to exist; how do you explain the image of man. Who created the first man? Science says that every cell comes from a preexisting cell, if that is true, then God created the first cell. There was a time it was said that it was impossible for a man to fly, but today we see that man can fly. Just because we cannot see or comprehend something that does not mean we can say it does not exist.
While we question if there is God, we do not question the fact that the world has good people and bad people. I guess what we see we believe. Do you believe in love? Do you believe that there is an air we breathe? Some will definitely say yes; have you seen love or air can your describe love or air or what it looks like.
Why is man on this planet and not in other planet? What are we here for? What is the purpose of life on earth?  All those we have lost, are we ever going to see them again? We want answers and it hurts when you can find answers. May be we are all supposed to live by faith. That is another question, what do you believe?
