10 reasons to believe in the existence of God

1. the Inevitability of Faith
Everyone believes in something. Atheists cannot prove there is no God. Faith is unavoidable, even if we choose to believe only in ourselves.

2. the Limitations of Science
The scientific method is limited to that which is measurable and repeatable. By definition, it cannot speak to issues of ultimate origin, meaning, or morality. Science by itself offers no moral guidance or values to govern our lives. All science can do is show us how natural law works, while telling us nothing about its origins.

3. the Problems of Evolution
An evolutionary explanation of life would not make God unnecessary. Even if we assume that scientist will someday find enough "missing links" to confirm that life appeared and developed gradually over great periods of time, laws of probability would still show the need for A Creator. The universe in all of its immensity and complexity did not "just happen". Many evolutionist scientists are compelled to acknowledge the possibility or even likelihood of an intelligent Designer.

4. the Habits of the Heart
Mankind has been described as incurably religious. In unguarded moments of trouble or surprise, in prayer or in profanity, references to deity persist. Denying the existence of God does not eliminate the persistent longing for more than this life has to offer. Even in our anger with a God who would permit injustice and pain, we draw upon a moral conscience to argue that life is not as it ought to be. We are drawn to something that is more than ourselves.
