390 Why Christianity 3: God Is Real (Sean Finnegan)
Listen to this episode on Spotify or Apple Podcasts
This is part 3 of the Why Christianity class.
How do you know God is real? What sorts of evidence would you marshal to make a case for God’s existence? It won’t do to tell skeptics you believe in God because you’ve always believed in him, because you were raised to believe in him, or because the Bible says so. In this episode you’ll learn six main lines of evidence for God’s existence to equip you to have meaningful conversations with your secular friends, coworkers, and relatives.
—— Links ——
—— Notes ——
Objective: to provide six reasons to believe in God and marvel at that God’s attributes.
1 The Beginning of the Universe
——————————–
1. everything that has a beginning has cause of its beginning
2. the universe has a beginning
3. therefore, the universe has an external cause of its beginning
2 Fine-Tuning for Life
———————–
1. our universe is finely-tuned for the existence of complex life
2. fine-tuning is not the result of physical laws
3. therefore, a super-natural fine-tuner exists
3 DNA Code
———–
1. all languages come from a mind not natural processes
2. DNA is a language
3. all biological life requires DNA to exist
4. therefore, a non-biological DNA designer exists
4 Moral Absolutes
—————–
1. moral absolutes exist (i.e. torturing children for the fun of it is always wrong)
2. nature, society, and individuals do not supply moral absolutes
3. therefore, a supernatural source for moral absolutes exists
5 Miracles
———-
1. miracles are events in which the laws of nature are interrupted by an agent outside of the natural realm
2. documented miracles have happened
3. therefore, a miracle causer exists
6 Personal Experience
———————-
1. I’ve experienced God
2. therefore, God exists
